To the Hon: John C Calhoun Secretary of the War Department of the United States.
Your Memorialist, a citizen of Clermont County in the State of Ohio respectfully states that shortly after the passage of the act of Congress granting relief to the Officers and Soldiers of the Revolutionary War who were indigent and in indigent circumstances, claiming himself to belong to that class of unfortunate men who merited the bounty of Government as provided in the aforesaid act of Congress, he made application and was admitted as a pensioner on the roll of the Department of War. His pension was continued for over year and a half when it was withdrawn, and he was struck off the pension roll. Your Memorialist states that he is in very indigent circumstances, and being now near seventy five years of age, and has a wife about fifty seven years of age, he is not very well qualified to labor for his living. It was his Revolutionary services and subsequent indigence, that entitled him to a pension and induced him to apply for relief. When your Memorialist was struck off the pension roll, he feels it was occasioned by an error in the

Subscribed exhibiting apparent wisdom that his circumstances were too affluent to justify the allowance of the War Department in con- tinuing him on the pension Roll. Your Mem- orialist gave in his statement in honesty and good faith, yet part of it was unimproved land (a few acres) and of small value - and he omit- ted to state the amount of his debts justly due by him -
Your Memorialist prays to be again placed on the pension Roll on account of his grow- ing infirmities and indigence, and if it be consistent with the rules of the Depart- ment that the Bounty of Government would be rendered from the time it was suspended. His property is greatly inferior in value to what it was when the pension was first granted. He refers to the documents rela- tive to his case on file in the War Depart- ment for further particulars, by which he was originally intitled to the pension.
And as in duty bound will pray as

Be it remembered that on this 31 st day of January 1825 personally appeared before me the undersigned one of the justices of the peace, within the County of Clermont in the State of Ohio Nicholas Fickler her. Who after being duly sworn sworn or oath according to law, deposes and saith that about seven or eight years ago he sold to Ramoth Branting two lots of land near Williamsburgh in Clermont County Ohio, containing Eight acres in exchange for other property Number 81 & 82. That he believes the said Eight acres of land are a part of the 20 acres of land set forth in the said Ramoth Brantings Deed of 1820. That one of the said lots of land containing four acres this affiant purchased at a tax sale, and still retains and holds the Deed for the same, and that it has never yet been conveyed to said Branting, those titles not being considered good in law and this affiant does not now recollect what time or consideration the said Branting was to make to him it being as before stated in exchange for other property.
This affiant further states that the other lot of land containing four acres of land which he sold said or exchanged to the said Ramoth Branting for other property, he purchased at a public sale of lots in Williamsburgh and he believes comprised a part of the twenty acres of land set forth in said Ramoth Brantings Deed rendered in the year 1820. That he now obtains a Deed for the said four acres of land from William Ayers the proprietor, or his agent, since the sale as above stated. That he understands and is informed that William Ayers has made

a Due for the same to another person - and this affiant has since conveyed the said 4 acres of land to one Bunting or to any person in trust for him - and this affiant further believes that the said Namoth is not the legal possessor or the equitable proprietor of the said lots of land.

To the Honorable the Secretary of the War Department of the United States
The undersigned citizens of Clermont County in the State of Ohio beg leave respectfully to in- form you, that Samuel Benton, whom we under- stand has made application to the War Department to be readmitted on the pension Roll, is at present and for a great many years has been a resident of this County; and that we are intimately acquaint- ed with his character as well as his pecuniary circumstances. He was some years since struck off the pension Roll, as we are informed, because the schedule he exhibited of his real & personal pro- perty, contained apparent evidence, that he did not then come within the description of that class of Revolutionary sufferers to whom the benefit of the Government was intended to be appli- ed. It was unfortunate for Mr. Benton that a rigid construction of the Act granting relief to Revolutionary soldiers, should have operated so much to his inju- ry as to deprive him, by the withdrawal of his pension of the necessary and accustomed comforts of life.
From our knowledge of his integrity and good moral character, sustained for so many years without the imputation of reproach, we feel warranted in sta- ting, that the schedule of his property herewith enclosed and transmitted, contains a true and accurate statement.

The petitioner Mr. Burnham is at present very old and infirm, unable to be engaged in any branch of productive industry - and the small lot of land which he occupies, entirely insufficient, without active personal exerting or hiring an assistant, to procure him an adequate support. His wife is also a very old and helpless woman, unqualified to render him much assistance. With all the pecuniary resources in his possession, in his present helpless and infirm condition, we believe, that (unless the Township should extend the hand of charity to him) he is a proper object for the aid of his country.
In consideration whereof we recommend that Mr. Burnham to be reinstated on the pension Roll of the United States' Revolutionary Soldiers; and if it be consistent with the rules and policy of the Department of War, that his pension might be given to him from the time it was suspended, as he was since lived in great indigence.
