Accounts for decrease of his property, by stating that he omitted to mention in his first schedule that he had sold to Walter Watson, on the 15 th June 1811, 70 acres of the land mentioned in first schedule, and for which said Watson holds his obligation for a title. The consideration for said 70 acres, was provision labor, &c. prior to 1811 - one rifle gun sold to S. Baskerville, in 1821, also 2 hoes, 2 plows, 1 mallet, and 3 axes, compensation for all which he received in provisions, and labor - Wheat ches and 2 tables sold to Rebecca Baskerville, which she paid for by weaving - Saddle & bridle worn out - 10 stone plates, 8 cups & saucers, 1 tea-pot - 1 coffee-pot, 3 crucks, 1 smoothing iron, 3 sickles worn out and destroyed - 1 cow & calf died - 1 horse sold to S. B. Baskerville for $30, paid for in pork and services - 1 horse sold by sheriff on execution, and balance of his
(dead), and some other articles of property in sheriff's possession - Says he owes to E. T. Langham, $80 - to John Moore, $33 1/3 - and to Isaac Evans $30, all of which, with interest, amounts to $149 1/3
Since exhibiting his last schedule, the claimant has forwarded an authenticated copy of a deed for the 70 acres of land, to Elias T. Langham, executed on the 15 Nov. 1823. The cause of conveying the land to Langham, is stated to be, that Walter Watson resigned his right to Langham, and gave S. Langham, an order on claimant, for the title - (A copy of the order, is produced). Also the affidavits of Hon. Marshall and David Watson, corroborating claimant's statement as to the 70 acres of land.
The debt of $80 to E. T. Langham, was contracted in 1817, for cattle - That of $33 1/3 to John Moore, was contracted in 1819, and 1820, for goods from Moore's store - That of $30, to Isaac Evans, a balance due on store account, contracted from 1812 to 1816 - All these debts are proved by the affidavits of the creditors. -
An execution issued against claimant, returnable to May term 1821, for $112.70, debt, and $14.67 costs, in favor of T. G. W. Gwinne. The sheriff sold claimant's property in February 1821, to the amount of $89 in part discharge of the execution. The affidavit of T. Gwinne proves the debt to have been contracted in 1817, $33 1/3, for goods from the store of Messrs T. G. W. Gwinne. The sheriff's certificate is also produced. -
Claimant aged 68 - by occupation, farmer, but unable to pursue it - Wife aged 59 unable to labor - 1 son aged 18 - 1 daughter aged 15.

February 13 th , 1825.
Sir.
When I received yours requiring a record of the sixty acres of Land sold to Walter Watson, and by him transferred to Elias T. Langhorne, and by me deeded to said Langhorne, I hastened to comply with your request, believing that you would plainly see the error in my schedule.
All the Land at first rendered by me was 103\frac{1}{5} acres, I sold to Walter Watson 70 acres previously to my schedule, and my not making the deduction was really an Omission.
Your last letter requires the Testimony of Walter Watson who has deceased as will appear by the several Testimonies now and heretofore forwarded. — The reason I now produce the present Testimony is, the call cannot may be doubted as a Court of Record. Be pleased therefore to excuse me for so frequently troubling your Department, when I have not filled your wishes, it has been owing to ignorance or want of being better advised.
Yours, Sir.
Your Obedient Servt.

Sir,
At your last Session I forwarded to you a petition with a schedule of my property
I had previously forwarded a schedule which was not correct, not knowing that it was necessary to counter balance my debts with the property in my possession, since which my property has all been sold for debts except what I rendered in my last schedule
I also in my first rendered seventy acres of land which I had forgotten that my bond was out for to Walter Watson which my last will explain — your house did pass a bill for the relief of petitioners, which was rejected in the Senate now Sir I ask of you to submit my schedule and petition from the rest and offer it by itself — I have saved my country and am poor — your attention will oblige

To the Hon'ble the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled
The petition of the undersigned Assembly representative that he forwarded to your honorable body at your last session a petition with others with a schedule of his property which passed the House of Representatives by a large majority but was rejected in the Senate. Which endures your petition, with other reasons given to apply to you for the relief which his old age, poverty, & infirmity absolutely require of that Government for the attainment of which he has spent his gentlest days and is now left old and infirm and without the means of supporting himself. Your petition would further represent that he served two years as a soldier nine months in the year 1776 in the 7th Pennsylvania Key Stone Battery commanded by Col. William Duguid on Continental establishment And seven years afterwards to the end of the revolution as a as a volunteer follower is

is now near seventy years of age very infirm And afflicted with the palsy and Rheuma- -tis and without the means of support as by reference to his schedule now enclosed the papers of late before will more fully appear - In consequence of which he now humbly implores the aid of the Government for which he has exhausted his youth fortune and health that he may be placed on the list of pensioners as heretofore or grant him such aid as you in your wisdom may deem just and reasonable. And in duly bound will ever pray

Sir.
I have received your letter dated the 23 d of last Month, informing me that I am inscribed on the Ohio Pension Roll as a Lieut. in the Revolution ary War at $20 per Month under the law of the 18 th of Mar: 1818. and that a Certificate was made out, and sent to James Henry Esquire of London, Ohio, on the 19 th of April 1819. Which Certificate I have long since received.
I have to inform you that my first Declaration was dated the 6 th or 7 th of April & year 1818 and was sworn to before Joseph Layton Esquire of Clark County, then being high Waters at that time, I could not get to a Judge in Madison County. — And soon after that Declaration was sent to the War office, there came out instructions from that Department how to proceed relative thereto, I deemed the first Declaration not sufficient to obtain a Pension Certificate, I then sent the second dated the 21 st of May 1818. And hope this will be sufficient to show how two of my Declarations got in the War office.
I am, Sir,
your very humble Servt.

Samuel Baskerville late a Lieutenant _____ " _____ in the Army of the Revolution, is inscribed on the Pension List, Roll of the Ohio. Agency, at the rate of twenty dollars per month, to com- mence on the seventh day of April one thousand eight hundred and eighteen

Sir.
The statement on oath made before me on the 4 th of May last by Lieut. Samuel Baskerville, applying for a pension under the Act of the 13 th March 1818. was then immediately forwarded by Mead for the War Office, and no advice has ever been rec d . of its arrival there. I then stated (I believe) as I do now, — That I first knew Lt. Baskerville at Middlebrook in the Valley, where the Virginia Troops in the Winter of 1778. were contained. he and myself then belonged to Scotts Brigade. he afterwards marched from near Morristown with the same troops in Dec r . 1779. for Charlestown in South Carolina, where our whole line was captured after a months siege on the 12 th of May 1780. ————— After the Cartel was settled for exchange of the prisoners in the Southern department, he came round with what remained of the troops; who were landed at James Town in Virginia. Mr. Baskerville now lives in the same County (Madison) with myself, and I am well acquainted with his present circumstances and am persuaded, they are most pressing by necessity and in want of the tendered assistance of his Country. This I assert from my own knowledge, and on no other terms will a Certificate pass from my hand. Given under my hand in Madison County the 4 th day of December 1818.
