Before me Erasmus Powell Judge of the Probate Court of the county of Shelby and state of Indiana personally came Joseph Boon of the said County and state who being duly sworn did on his oath make the following statement for the purpose of obtaining the benefit of the act of Congress passed the 25th of April 1808 entitled "An act concerning Invalid Pensioners." - That he the said Joseph Boon in the month of October in the year one thousand eight hundred and ninety was a private soldier in the Militia who served under General Josiah Harmar in an expedition against the Indians . That of the Regiment to which he belonged John Hardin was Colonel, of the Battalion James McMillan was Major - and of the Company in which he served William Bush was Captain. That on the twenty second day of October in the said year of 1790 he in an engagement with the Indians, which is usually known by the name of Harmar's second defeat - he was severely wounded by a rifle ball from the enemy in the left ankle. The ball entered the front side of the ankle bone, passed through the same and lodged in the opposite side against the skin, where it was extracted by the Surgeon. The place where this wound was received was near the place called the Maumee Village, and not far from the point where the rivers St. Joseph and St. Mary's join. The said wound disabled him from any further service during this campaign. He was carried to Cincinnati on the return of the Militia where in consequence of his wound he was compelled to remain twenty one days: at the end of which time he was taken by water to Louisville, whence he was carried home on a horse. He lived at that time in Fayette County, where he continued to live some ten or eleven years. He then removed to Madison County Ky. where he lived about thirteen years - from thence removed to Bath County Ky where he lived eight years, when he removed to Shelby

County Indiana where he now resides. His engagements since the wound was received have been farming. And this is the only source whence he can now procure a livelihood. As his age increases the wound in his ankle becomes more painful, and renders his disability to labour much greater. The wound being at the joint exercise of the limb causes the joint to open, and the ankle to swell, which become very painful and greatly injure his repose at night. He applied some 11 years since for a Pension, but - in consequence of some informality in taking the evidence he failed. Two years afterwards he again applied, but for some reasons he knows not what his application was unattended to. The reason why he did not ask a pension previous to his first application was because his children then lived with him (which is not now the case) and assisted in procuring his livelihood. His name is not on the pension list of any state or territory. So nearly as he can remember he was in the service at this time about two months. Sworn & subscribed: Joseph Boone Jr,
Also Hugh J. Gatewood being duly sworn deposeth and saith. That he was in the Autumn of the year 1790 in the expedition against the Indians conducted by General Josiah Harmar. That he was at that time acquainted with the above named applicant - Joseph Boon. That he the said Joseph Boon was a foot soldier in the militia then in the service of the United States in the said expedition, under the said General Harmar. That the said Boon served in a company commanded by Captain William Bush, belonging to a Battalion commanded by Major James McMillan, and a Regiment commanded by Colonel John Harden - the whole as before stated under the command of General Josiah Harmar. That on the twenty second day of October in the year 1790 during an engagement near the old the old Miamie village at the junction of the St. Mary's & St. Josephs rivers

which form the Miami of the Lakes, the said Joseph Boon received a wound in the left ankle by a ball shot from the enemy, which entered the front part of the ankle and passing through lodged on the opposite side at the stem. The said wound totally disabled the said applicant from further service. He was on the return of our men conducted to Cincinnati where he was confined by the severity of his wound for a considerable time while the rest returned to their homes. The said Joseph Boon lived at the time spoken of in the state of Kentucky, in which state as deponent believes he lived till about seven or eight years ago when he removed to Shelby County in the state of Indiana where he now resides. Deponent believes his occupation to have been principally that of a Farmer. Deponent thinks the said Joseph Boon served at least two months, and perhaps more before he received said wound which disabled him for further service.
Affidavit Sworn & Subscribed
Hugh S. Gattewood
January 14th 1833
It is hereby certified that by satisfactory evidence and accurate examination it appears that Joseph Boon a private soldier in the company of William Bush, in the battalion under Maj. James McMillan, in the regiment under Colonel John Hardin, and during a campaign conducted by Gen. Josiah Harmer against the Indians in the year 1790, while in the service of the United States, and on the 22nd day of October in the said year 1790 being engaged in a battle with the Indians at or near the place called the Old Miamis village near the junction of the St. Mary & St. Joseph rivers, received a wound in his left ankle, the ball striking, as appears from the wound, as well as the examination of said Boon under oath, about half an inch above the lower end of the fibula, thence passing inward and backward, taking off the back part of the astragalus.

and splintering the tibia. The ball at last lodging just beneath the skin rather back of the internal Malleolus, and was finally extracted by an incision made between the bones between the bones of the ankle joint - and the tendo achillis and he is thereby not only incapacitated for military duty but in the opinion of the undersigned, is two thirds disabled from obtaining his subsistence from manual labour, and totally disabled from attaining the same without pain. The manner in which the wound operates in producing disability, is by the perfect uselessness of the ankle joint, and after exercise by inducing an bedimatus condition of the whole limb. affirmed before me & subscribe

Hon. J. S. Edwards,
Dr Sir, I have thought it well to send you this paper containing the affidavit of the commandant of the regiment to which the applicant belonged. It was taken some years since, but as it was informally. It would have been again taken, but the officer has since died. Though informally taken it must tend to strengthen the otherwise positive evidence of the claimants services & disabilities. It may perhaps be proper for me to explain the reason why several months has intervened between the taking of the evidence in Kentucky & that of the evidence in Indiana. The reason is that we thought the judge of the Indiana District would be the proper officer, to appoint the commissioner in Kentucky & accordingly applied to him for that purpose. He did not conceive that his jurisdiction extended there in such case & directed the applicant to apply to the judge of the Kentucky District. His reply however on account of his ill health was not received till a few days ago. I am about to send this together with the evidence taken here to the commissioner in Kentucky in order that when he has taken the evidence he may send the whole to you. When you have investigated the case be so kind as to inform me of the result directing your reply to me at Shelbyville Shelby County Indiana.
With sincere respect Hon. J. S. Edwards. I have the honor to be

Gentlemen! - Could you give me the Rev. service of Joseph Boone, Sr - a private in the militia (Don't know state) but who received a pension in 1833 while a resident of Shelby Co., Ind.
Any information as above will be greatly appreciated.

Gentlemen:
I am seeking information concerning an ancestor of mine who immigrated from Pennsylvania in 1782 to Kentucky settling near Bryan's Station, his name was James Ingeles (Ingles) (Ingalls); he died here in 1803(Bryan's Station). His children were: Thomas, James, Joseph, John, Edith, Nellie & Boone; his wife & mother of these children was, I understand, Catherine Boone(Mrs. De Hart). I want to know if this ancestor of mine (James) saw service in the Revolutionary War. he was supposed to have been born in 1749 in Pennsylvania. Another tradition says he died January 13, 1815. He married Catherine in 1777.
I am particularly interested in his one son Thomas who settled during his lifetime in the following places: Bourbon County, Kentucky; Fayette County, Kentucky; Jacksonville, Illinois; Schuyler & Brown County, Illinois. He died at Gentry County, Missouri in 1858. The said Thomas Ingels was my great-great-grandfather.
I would greatly appreciate any information on the above no matter how insignificant. I particularly want to know if the above James Ingels of Pennsylvania & Bourbon County, Kentucky(who had a son Thomas) was in the Revolutionary War.
At the same time as looking this up will you see if either Daniel Boone's brother Joseph Boone or nephew Joseph Boone were in the American Revolution. Also if Randolph Haley or Bartlett Haley of Fayette County, Kentucky, was in the Revolution. My great-great-grandmother Judith Haley who married the above Thomas Ingels was some relation to these men--do you have any information which would tell me what the relationship was? Any information that you may have which would aid me to trace the first mentioned James Ingels further back would be appreciated, particularly as to birth place & date.
Sincerely,
Mrs Virginia (Ingle) Maes
