1 Case 2941

On this 19 th day of Decem r AD 1818. before me John R. Watson Esquire Notary Public for the County of Philad. a  44 dwelling in Germantown, personally appeared John Baylie, Runner in the Bank of Germantown to me personally well known, who being duly affirmed, doth solemnly declare & affirm, that in January 1776 he enlisted at Middletown in Bucks County in Capt n John Lacy's Company of Infantry of the 4 th Battalion commanded by Col n Anthony Wayne; that they marched from Darby Pa a in March following, & this affirmant, on the 8 th June 1776 was engaged in the battle of Irons Rivers in Canada against a part of Burgoyne's army; - that he afterwards, with the remainder of the Army lay at Ticonderoga till the 24 th Jany 1777 when his company was marched home and he was  honourably discharged at Chester Penn a in the month March 1777; - This affirmant further declares, that he served as a Corporal for all the aforesaid time, and that his "Discharge" has been mislaid or destroyed for this thirty years past; - This affirmant further declares, that, ever since, his leaving the Army, he has been chiefly employed in teaching a school in Bucks County & that for the last thirty years of his life he has lived near Attleborough in said County; that he has been for many years a married man, has been the Father of eight lawful children, all of whom, so far as living, have been reputably brought up by him, but within the two last years of his life, by reason of his increasing age & decrease of scholars, he has been compelled most reluctantly to give up that school which for several of the last years did not produce a compensation equal to his family support, & now this affirmant is actually a Runner for to the Bank of Germantown, from which he is soon to be removed, by reason of his age unfitting him to fulfil

all the duties required, wherefore being this too much disqualified by his age & actually considerably reduced thereby in his circumstances, he at present reluctantly avails himself of this occasion to receive the Public bounty pro- vided for all Soldiers of the American Revolution, who are in reduced circumstances
John Baylie
In Witness whereof I the said notary have hereunto affixed my hand & Seal of Office the day & date above written.
John F. Watson Notary Public
I John F. Watson, Notary Public & Cashier of the Bank of Germantown, do most cordially recommend Mr John Baylie to the notice of the War Department, to receive a pension as an old soldier, knowing him to be a very de- serving & excellent moral man, whose reduction of circumstan- ces is really so, whose imperfection to serve in the Bank, where he is much esteemed, arising from the decay of his memory & inability to preserve that connection & train of passing occur- rences in the business of the Bank which would qualify him to receive the Salary which the Bank has before given - From a sense of which things, he has been recommended to take the measures above done, in hopes the U. States, will not find a man more worthy to receive the Public bounty - In witness of my official character I ? here affix the Seal of the said Bank. John F. Watson.

The Hon ble the Secretary of War
Sir — Annexed I present you my claim for a Pension which I hope will prove satisfactory. If it could be of any use to have all the Directors of the Bank of Germantown to recommend my claim they are willing to present such a paper. If I may justly make this claim, I pray it may be speedily, as I shall cease to serve this Bank, at the end of this Winter, and shall then have to go forth in the Winter of Life, to seek new modes of Livelihood
My identity of Service might perhaps be proved by Reference to the Company Pay Rolls & Muster Rolls, some of the earliest of which were written or drawn by me as Clerk to Captain Lacy's Company, Samuel Smith Esq was at that time First Lieutenant & John Barclay Esq m President of the Bank of the Northern Liberties, Philad a Ensign of s d Company.
Yours very Respectfully
