State of Kentucky. Lewis County Set.
Edward Bavor states before the Honorable Adair Beatty a circuit judge in the State of Kentucky for the first judicial district including Lewis County, that he enlisted on the 6th January 1781 in the revolutionary war in the Second or New York Artillery Regiment and served as a Sergeant until the ninth of June 1783 in said war upon continental establishments as will more fully appear by his certificate of discharge bearing the date last mentioned and signed by the then commander in chief, and now annexed to and made part of this declaration.
He states that he was at Bennington at the taking of Burgoyne and at the Battle of Kingsbridge. He states that he has lived in the State of Kentucky and in Lewis County for about two years last past, that he is poor and in consequence of his reduced circumstances is left standing in need of the assistance of his Government for a support being afflicted with the Rheumatism to so great a degree as to prevent him from labour a great part of his time - inasmuch that upon losing his wife last Spring he has thought proper because he had no property need be because he was unable to labour constantly to put his children out having four the oldest not exceeding seven years old.
He says he never received a pension of his Government, that he lived in New York ever since his discharge until about nine years ago when he moved to Ohio State and then to Kentucky as above stated.
He enlisted under Capt. Bliss of the since 2 d or New York Artillery Regiment commanded by Colonel John Lamb, the latter continued to the end of the War, the former resigned and his place was supplied by Capt. Swartwout.
This affiant does not know

of any person by whom he can prove his enlistment or service in the western Country - and the discharge before made part hereof is all the evidence he has in his power to produce, on that subject.
Edward Beaver
David Loony made oath that he has been acquainted with the above named Edward Beaver ever since he came to Kentucky to live say about two years - That he is very poor and without any means of support save what he gains by his daily labour. Having no property whatever other than a few articles of furniture which he has heard of his Rhetoric affection and knows he has, puts his children out a stated
Kentucky Louis Circuit. Set.

Edward Beaver, appeared in open Court and made oath in due form of Law to the Truth of the facts stated in his written Declaration made for the purpose of obtaining the benefit of the provisions of the act of Congress of the last Session in favour of certain officers & soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
