To The Honourable The Senate, and House of Repre- sentatives of the United States, in Congress assembled. The petition of the Undersigned Respectfully Stated That he was a Soldier of the Revolution & as such was placed on the Pension List Roll of the United States under the provisions of the Act of Congress passed the 28 th day of March 1818, for the relief of Certain Persons Engaged in the Land & Naval Service of the United States in the revolutionary war, That agreeable to request of the Supplement of That act of Congress passed the 20 th of May 1820 your petitioner removed his application to the War Office agreeable to the requisition thereof for a continuance of his pension But, such at that time was the situation of his pecuniary concerns that he has not been able to make known to the War Office to their satisfaction all the particulars relating to his property to the satisfaction of of the War Department and the Circumstances are these At the time of his making his first application he owned ninety six acres of land in the County of Tomp- kins in the State of New York, that owing to the Unhealth- iness of the Country and the Sickness of his family he was unable to improve it, & had moved from it into the State of Penn- Pennsylvania where he now resides: That about Novem- ber in the Year 1822 he Exchanged that land above mentioned for a small house and ten acres of land in Bradford County Pennsylvania, on which he now resides, that although in his deed for the land the nominal Consideration is $450.00 yet it has been Estimated by the Judges of the Court of said County of Bradford to be worth one hundred while the Nominal Value of the land he Exchanged for it is set forth in the Deed of Conveyance to be $1000.00

But the consideration in both the deeds of conveyance are merely nominal, and very far exceed the real considerations, - and that owing to the age, infirm- ities and poverty of your petitioner, he is unable to travel into the State of New York to procure testi- mony to clear up these discrepancies, under these circumstances he is now suffering under extreme age & bodily infirmities with a large family of children principally daughters to provide for while for want of sufficient explanation which he is not able to procure with legal authenticity, his pension has been withheld from him since May 1820. These facts will ap- pear from his papers now deposited in the War Office Department - Under these circumstances he prays, Your Honourable Body to give him such Relief as the na- ture of his case may require and either pass a Special Act by which his pension may be continued to him or give him such assistance pecuniary assis- tance as will enable him to procure the required legal authenticity in support of his claims - Your Petitioner as in duty bound will ever pray

We the under signed Citizens of Bradford County in the State of Pennsylvania, Samuel Black, Oliver Beman the forgoing Petitioner, do certify that we have been many years acquainted with him and that I sustain, a good Moral Character and that so far as he is known full credit would be given to any and all his assertions that he is present and for several years past has been in reduced circumstances with an expensive family & is himself unable to perform any kind of Manual labour that he was former a physician but from bodily infirmity is unable to practice
We further certify that we know the property on which he lives which consists of a small house and Barn or Stable and about ten acres of Land most of which is very Poor that we believe the Estimate of the value of it State to be made by the Court is as much as it would bring at any sale and that Doctor Beman has for many years past had a great deal of sickness in his family -

The Undersigned Inhabitants of the Counties of Bradford and Luzerne in the State of Pennsylvania, Certify, That we have for a number of years past been personally acquainted with Ebenezer Beeman now of the Township of Wyalusing in the County of Bradford who was formerly placed on the List of Revolutionary Pensioners of the United States, and that from a long acquaintance with him can cheerfully bear testimony to the goodness and worth of his Moral Conduct as a worthy and respectable Citizen, that he is in reduced and necessitous circumstances and in our Opinions Unable from Bodily Infirmities and advanced age to Labour any longer to maintain himself and a large and expensive family of small Children and we think altogether probable that unless he can receive Assistance from his Country for the services of his youthfull days that he may become a pauper, The Undersigned cheerfully say that they believe him a proper Object for the Bounty of his Country and sincerely hope that he may be again placed on the pension List

To The Honourable J. C. Calhoun Esq. Secretary at War
The Memorial of the undersigned respectfully states that he is the same Ebenezer Beeman a Soldier of the Revolution who in pursuance of an act of Congress of the 18 th of March 1818 was in the same year placed on the Pension list Roll of the United States. And also in pursuance of the Supplement to the said act of Congress passed the day of May 1820 forwarded to the War Office the required schedule of his property together with the number circumstances and situation of his family: but on an examination of which it appears that your Memorialist has been discontinued as a Pensioner, and his name stricken from the list. With that decision he had determined patiently to acquiesce. But Pressed by subsequent embarrassments and a declining state of health with an addition to his family, increasing in it the number of dependents, so that with his best exertions he is scarcely able to extricate himself from a state of Pauperism; and the only alternative he is under the necessity of seeking relief from his government, by requesting that the schedule by him made & forwarded might be reconsidered, and taken into view with the explanation herein after given, and the present situation of his family consisting of himself more than sixty years old, suffering under the pain and inconvenience of an excessive and incurable Rheumatism which totally disqualifies him for labour or bodily fatigue; and also afflicted with a Rheumatik complaint, which almost entirely prevents his practice as a professional man. His wife also (although but forty years of age) has been confined the greatest part of the year past by sickness, and at present is unable to contribute in the smallest degree to the assistance of her family which as heretofore stated in a relation annexed to his schedule, with with the late addition consist of twelve Children most of whom are females, and the youngest not more than one year old.
It is true that the said schedule of your memorialist states that he possesses in the State of New York ninety seven acres of land. But most of it is in a state of nature, and far from being valuable. He left it three years ago because he could not support his family on

it; neither could he sell it; for such is its situation and quality that if Money was as plenty as formerly, it would not be saleable, at present it would not sell at all. Then what can it avail a numerous suffering family, consisting of infirm old age, young females and helpless infants, living in Pennsylvania that they own ninety seven acres of New uncultivated land, in a rough obscure part of the State of New York, on which they could not subsist when the head of the family enjoyed health, and could not sell when they left it, to return to Pennsylvania their former and present residence. It is true the property is rented for the nominal consideration of twenty dollars a year but your memorialist realizes from it no real advantage and in fact the name of property - a mere shadow without the substance is all he possesses, as respects his present situation.
If his circumstances are such as to call forth the commiseration of his friends and acquaintance; And if his present pecuniary embarrassments have not accumulated through intemperance, extravagance, or indolence. But if on the he has lived in the habits of industry, temperance, and economy; all which will appear by the annexed Certificate of Respectable Citizens of the Township & County in which he resides, the humbly requests that the Secretary at War would receive the approbation of his Government, his fellow citizens, and of his own conscience, restoring his name again and continuing it on the Pension list.

We the subscribers citizens of Luzerne & Bradford Counties do hereby certify that we are acquainted with the above named Doctor Ebenezer Beeman and many of us more than twenty years ago when a citizen of what was then Luzerne County that the facts as above stated relating to himself his family and circumstances are true.
