That State of Ohio

On this nineteenth day of November 1833, personally appeared before Henry Womfort associate Judge in and for the County and State aforesaid, John Bailes a resident of Washington Township in the County of Preble and State of Ohio, who being first duly sworn according to law, both on his oath made the following Declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7. 1832
That he entered the service of the United States, under the following named Officers and served as herein stated
He thinks he was about twenty five years old, when he was drafted first, into the Army of the United States under the Command of Captain McCuehan. That he was out seven months, during the the most of which time he was in McIntosh's Campaign against the Indians. During this tour, they built Fort Lawrence, and left Colonel Broadhead there. Deponent's Colonel during this tour was William Bowyer of Staunton Virginia. When Deponent was drafted for the tour above mentioned, he lived in Augusta County Virginia. Deponent does not recollect, the time he started from home, but recollects that he returned on the 31 st December. About two years after Deponent was drafted for a three months tour under Captain Patrick Buchanan, sometime in the summer. His Lieutenant's name was Gibson and his Colonel William Bowyer. Deponent served out the whole of this tour, and was all the time in the field, marching from one point to another protecting the people from the scouting parties of the British. He was the greater part of the time in the neighborhood of Norfolk, and had a severe action with the British near that place some of the men were severely wounded but none killed. Deponent received a written discharge from the first tour which has since been accidentally lost. but for the latter he thinks he never received any discharge, if so, it has also been lost.
Deponent has no written Record of his age, nor has he ever seen any, and consequently is unable to state

his present age - He also states that from extreme old age and the consequent loss of memory, he is unable to give a clear full, and distinct account of his services - He has no documentary evidence of his services, and knows of no person living by whom he can prove them - but that he is acquainted with Isaac Stephens and John M. W. M c Nutt who can certify as to his character for truth and veracity, and the general belief of his neighborhood that he has been a soldier of the Revolution - Deponent further states that he has resided in Preble County in the State of Ohio for the last three years, and that previous thereto he lived in Nicholas County Virginia - He also states that from extreme old age, and a total inability from disease, to attend before a court of Record, he is compelled, to adopt this method of making his application to the department, for a pension - He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state - He also states that he knows no person who can testify as to his character for truth and veracity - sworn and subscribed the day and year aforesaid -  John L. Cailles Mark  Henry Monfort Associate Judge
