On this ninth day of March eight een hundred and nineteen, before me the undersigned has, one of the judges of the Supreme Court for the State, personally appeared Daniel Reddington aged fifty six years next August, resident in Warren County in said State, who being by me first duly sworn, according to law, doth, on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the Moun- tain made by the late act of Congress, entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary War." That he, the said Daniel Reddington enlisted in the continental service in the State of Massachusetts, in the company com- manded by Captain Ephraim Cleveland when company formed a part of the regiment commanded by Col. Jackson; that he continued to serve in said regiment nine months, the term of his enlistment and at the expiration of which he obtained a discharge, which he has since lost. That he was near fifteen years old at the time of his first enlistment. That a short time after he received his discharge aforesaid, he again enlisted in the continental service, by joining the company of (he thinks) Captain Burnham, in the regiment of Col. Vose. That he continued to serve until the expiration of nine months, the period of his enlistment, and obtained his discharge, which he has lost. The said Daniel Reddington further states that in a short time after his second discharge he again enlisted in the company of _____ and

The regiment he thinks, (though is not certain) commanded by Col. Dugger. that he continued to serve six months the term of his enlistment and obtained his discharge, which he has lost. That afterwards, he engaged in privateering, was taken on the coast of Ireland, and detained a prisoner until after the the surrender of Cornwallis, when he was exchanged.
The said Daniel Reddington states that he received an injury in his ankle (though not in battle) while in the service, which has made him lame ever since, and is now extremely painful, inasmuch, as in a great measure to disqualify him for manual labour. That he is in reduced circumstances, and stands in need of the approbation of his country for support, and that he has no other evidence now in his favour of said services.
Given to and declared before me, the day and year aforesaid.

John McLean judge as aforesaid do certify, that it appears to my satisfaction, that the said Daniel Reddington did serve in the revolutionary war, as stated in the preceding declaration, against the common enemy for the term of nine months, on the continental establishment; and I now transmit the proceedings, and testimony taken, to the secretary for the Department of War, pursuant the directions of the aforesaid

act of Congress. I also certify, that I believe from his appearance, and the statement he has made, that he merely the appearance of his secretary has support.

Be it remembered that on the 8 th day of November 1932 - there came before me John Patmarck a Justice of the peace in and for the county of DeKalb in the State of Indiana - Daniel Reddington - aged near seventy years; and on his solemn oath duly administered, declares and swears, that he is the same Daniel Reddington, whose proof of service is already on file in the War department - that he was originally placed on the pension list, roll of the Ohio agency, under the act of 18 th of March 1818 - that he drew one years pension, upon a certificate of pension, originally granted to him under the aforesaid act of Congress; which certificate of pension, is now either on file in the War office, or in the hands of John M c Lean Esquire, one of the Judges of the United States Supreme Court; as he firmly believes - this deponent further states that he was struck from the

said pension roll from and after the 4 th of March 1820, and was drawn no pension from that date - which was done as he believes, and was here informed, in consequence of his having failed or neglected to file a schedule of his property, pursuant to the requisitions of the Act passed at of Congress of May 1820 - that the disability of which he for nearly made proof - and which proof is now on file in the War office, has been growing on him to such degree as to render him totally incapable of manual labour - that at the time his pension was originally granted he resided in Clinton county, Ohio; that he now resides in Franklin county Indiana, where he has resided for the last four years or thereabouts -

Secretary of War, Sir,
I am instructed by the heirs of Daniel Redington, who was in his life time a Private in the Revolutionary service, to inquire of your Department, whether they are not entitled to an allowance, by provision of Congress, for his services, as such Private. They do not know whether he ever recd any thing for his services or not (other than his Pension) and if he were paid, it was in Continental money, This money being very much depreciated at that time; has not the Congress since made an allowance, to meet that deficit? I have not the laws at hand, and cannot be informed so well, in any manner, as by addressing you. Will you have the goodness to say whether such provision has been made, and if so what steps are necessary for its recovery. Proof of service is already in your Department - of 22 months & 22 days.
I am Sir,

You will receive herewith the certificate of Daniel Reddington which you will perceive is without date - if permit me also to enquire if there is not a mistake in the amount - Reddington knowing, as I understand, files his proof of two years servi- ces and upwards - Should this conjecture be correct you will make the necessary alte- ration and return the cor- rected certificate to

Sir, Inclosed you find some documentary evidence, on which Mrs Anna Redington asserts her claim to draw a pension under the act of Congress passed July 7 th 1838, granting half pay and pension to certain widows. Her Declaration, enclosed herein, is not so full with regard to the "service" of Daniel Redington as would be required by the 1 st rule of the reg- -ulations; but then it will be remembered that said Redington was himself a Pensioner. The evidence on that point is already with you. I have in my possession a letter from the Hon G. L. Edwards in which he states that "the service of 22 months and 22 days is admitted". The evidence submitted will speak for itself, and whether sufficient or not, you will be the Judge.
Any communication or order from your Department on this subject, will be ad- -dressed to me at Greensburg Dearborn Co. Indiana.
I have the honor to be yours obediently John S. Seabury

We the undersigned, practising physicians, of Brookville in the County and State aforesaid, do hereby certify, that we have examined Daniel Redington, who was formerly placed on the pension list, on account of services rendered, the United States during the Revolutionary war, and was afterwards displaced, on account of said Redington's being suspected of holding too much property.

And are of opinion, that owing to the nature of the nature of his wound, he is unable to make more than one fourth of a subsistence. and his disability is three fourths.
