Statement of Dennis Carroll, residing in Crawford County, State of Pennsylvania, who applies for a pension from the United States, in pursuance of an 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" passed the 18 th day of March 1818
The said Dennis Carroll saith, that on the 18 th day of April 1777, he enlisted for three years in Captain Jacob Mouser's company, in the Sixth regiment in the Pennsylvania line on the Continental establishment. The said regiment had been commanded by Colonel Magaw, who at the time of my enlistment was a prisoner with the enemy, but the regiment was commanded by Lieut. Colonel Becker - The said company was in a few months after my enlistment commanded by Captain Walter Finney, and the regiment sometime in the ensuing winter was commanded by Lieut. Colonel Josiah Harmar - I continued in the said company and regiment from the time of my enlistment until the 30 th of October 1780, after having frequently applied for my discharge, which had not been granted to me when my time was out, I received from Major Jeremiah Salbot a pass or furlough to return home, and before the furlough was out, the revolt of the Pennsylvania line took place, which had been occasioned by keeping the men in the army after their times had expired, and I never afterwards joined the army
The said Dennis Carroll further saith that he was in the battle of Short Hills in New Jersey, and in the battles of Brandywine & Germantown and in Pennsylvania, and shortly after the first mentioned battle, I was promoted to an orderly sergeant, which rank I retained until I left the army

The said Dennis Carroll hereby relinquishes all claim to any pension that may hereafter have been allowed to him by the laws of the United States, and further saith, that from his advanced circumstances he needs the assistance of his country for support, being now in the sixtieth year of his age; and that the name has in his power no other evidence of his said services.

Crawford County
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ss
On this 17 th day of August, 1820 personally appeared in open Court, of Common Pleas, being a Court of Record and for the said County of Crawford in pursuance of an act of the Legislature of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania establishing it as such. Dennis Canal aged sixty one years and eight months resident, in the said County and Commonwealth who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath declare that he served in the revolutionary war as follows. On the 18 th day of April 1777, he enlisted for three years in Captain Jacob Houssers company in the sixth Pennsylvania Regiment on the continental establishment, which regiment at the time of his enlistment was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Becker, the same regiment having been commanded by Colonel J. Magaw who was at this time, a prisoner with the enemy. Served in said company and regiment the full term of his enlistment, and six months and ten days more before his discharge was given him having faithfully served the United States for and during the term of three years six months and ten days. — The said Dennis Canal has received a pension from the United States in pursuance of an act of Congress of the 13 th of March 1818 on his application thereof dated the 29 th day of May 1818; and the Certificate of the Hon. Secretary of War placing him on the pension list, is dated the 12 th day of July 1819 which certificate is numbered 22,478
And I do solemnly swear, that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18 th day of March 1818 and that I have not since that time by gift sale or in any manner, disposed of any property, or any part thereof with intent thereby to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an 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" passed on the 13 th day of March 1818; and that I have not nor has any person in trust for me any property or securities or debts due to me; nor have I any income other than what is contained in the schedule hereto

annexed and by me subscribed sworn to and subscribed in open court for the county of Bradford this 17 th day of August 1820 Before.

Schedule of property belonging to Dennis Carroll
One mare seven years old. Saddle & bridle, one killing hoe, one ax, No household furniture excepting a bucket and two chairs.
About fifteen years ago I made a settlement on a tract of land in oil creek township, claiming by set- tlement four hundred acres, supposing it to be va- cant, being belonging to the Commonwealth. I made an improvement on it, of about thirty acres and gave it to a person to reside on free of rent, with the except- -on that he is to repair the fences and clear out the fence rows. - I have lately ascertained by surveyors employed to run the lines of said land, that my claim to it is not good and that I cannot hold the same. It appears that the said land is situate in the 7 th district of the national land granted by the state of Pennsylvania to the officers and soldiers of the revolutionary army who served until the end of the war, and that by the map or plan of said district, the land which I have claimed by settlement as above mentioned, is in- cluded in No. 134, granted by patent by the common- wealth of Pennsylvania to the late Baron Huben - I am fully sensible that my title to the same is not worth anything.
There are about thirty dollars owing to me from different persons and no more.
The debts I owe amount to one hundred and twenty dollars.
I have no family, nor any relations to assist me my occupation has been that of a farmer. I have I have had for the last six or seven years a palsy in one of my arms, which often prevents me from labour- -ing together with my age, and other infirmities, renders me almost totally unfit to earn a livelihood, and unless assisted by my country, I must depend on public or private charity for support.

Sworn to, and subscribe in open court, for the county of Crawford the 18 th day of August, 1820. P. S. P. Dennis Clerk.
William Mac Arthur Prothonotary
I William Mac Arthur Prothonotary of the Court of Common Pleas for the county of Crawford do hereby hereby certify that the foregoing oath and the sche- dule thereto annexed are truly copied from the re- cord of the said court, and I do further certify, that it is the opinion of the said court, that the total amount, in value of the property exhibited, in the aforesaid schedule is exclusive of the land to which it appears he has no legal or equitable title, is eighty dollars and eigh- ty cents, that he owes one hundred and twenty dollars, that of course his debts are thirty nine dollars and twenty cents more than the amount of the said schedule.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and affixed the Seal of the said court this fifth day of September 1820.
