On this fourth day of December in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty personally appears in open court of Common Pleas in and for the County of said being a court of record for said County proceeding according to the course of common law with a jurisdiction unlimited as to point of amount and keeping an record of its proceedings Samuel Clark resident in Brookhurst township in said County aged about sixty six years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the provisions made by the act of Congress of the eighteenth March one thousand eight hundred and eighteen and the first of May one thousand eight hundred and twenty that he, the said Samuel Clark enlisted for the term of three years according to the best of his recollection in the fall of the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety five at Morristown in the State of New Jersey in the company commanded first by Captain Baldwin afterwards by Captain Mitchell in the Regiment commanded by Colonel Ogden in the line of the State of New Jersey on the continental establishment that he continued to serve in the said corps until the expiration of the said term of three years, when he again enlisted into the same company and regiment during the War and continued to serve in the said corps until the expiration of the War when he was discharged from the said service at Tappan in the State of New York. That he was in the battles of Germantown, Monmouth, Long Island, Staten Island, Short Hills, Ash Swamp, and Newark Farm, and that he has no other evidence now in his power of his said service. And in pursuance of the act of the first May one thousand eight hundred and twenty I do solemn- ly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the eighteenth day of March one thousand eight hundred and eighteen; and that I have not since that time

by gift sale or in any manner disposed of my property or any part thereof, with intent thereby to defraud it as to being subject within the provision of an act of Congress entitled An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary War passed on the eighteenth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and eighteen; and that I have not now any person in trust for me any property or securities, contracts, or debts due to me, nor have I any income other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed and by me sub- scribed. — This declarant also further states that his occupation when able to labour (which owing to the feebleness of his con- -stitution is only a part of the time) is making of brooms. that he has a wife and three children residing with him. His wife Catherine is about forty years of age and severely afflicted with the rheumatism — his son Samuel who is the principal support of the family is about eighteen years of age and works at farming, his son Martin aged fourteen years works with his brother Samuel — his daughter Sally aged twelve years is able to do but very little towards her support. He also states that himself and family are much indebted for their support to the kindness and charity of their friends and neighbours without which it would be extremely difficult for them to procure a comfortable maintenance.

This document further saith that he returned again with his family to Warm Springs in the year 1801 and they were then reported to be married and living together as man and wife.

Catherine Clark died before 1800

Should any communication be made you in regard to a Pensioner of this County by the name of Sam l Clark - before taking any steps in giving a new certificate or any thing of the kind - it will only be an act of justice to all parties to postpone the business for other and more correct information Then cost would at first be sent you by person interested in practising a fraud on your Department as well as myself -
I hold Clark's certificate & have drawn his Pension for five or six years - (or an agent has done it for me) - and have always scrupulously & conscientiously paid him generally the whole before getting the money (and always the principal part long before due) - Clark is a dishonest fellow - although has given me a power of attorney for the pension due on the 4 th has also

as I am informed given something something on the Shop of another to another person
This Ground no doubt will ask for a new certi- ficate - and in all probability may be backed by a third person - of standing whose name is familiar to you I presume - I only ask the privilege of showing the interviews of those concerned - & expose their dishonorable motives as they are if an attempt is made on above alluded to

Hon. George W. Crawford
Sir & J. W. C.
Sir, I wish to lay the following statement of facts before you and to obtain the requisite information.
"Robert Gorry was a Lieutenant in the Revolutionary War. Afterward, lived near Bellefonte Centre County Penna and drew a pension of $240.00 per annum from 1814 until 1824 when he died leaving a widow and three children Samuel, Nancy and Eliza. The widow remained single till death 1836.
Samuel went to Alabama in 1837 and is supposed to have been dead 6 or 7 years. Nancy married to James Pickett and they live in Penna. Eliza married to John Thompson they live in Penna."
Question if these facts can be established can Nancy & Eliza draw 5 years half pay or more (or less); do they, or their estate, come within any of the acts of Congress, giving the children of deceased Revolutionary officers or soldiers pensions?

Also I Send you an extract from a letter I have had the honor to receive from Col. C. B. Curtis of Warren Warren, Co. Penna. asking for information
"Sometime last Summer I sent on an application to the Pension office for a pension of Catharine Clark widow of Samuel Clark a Revolutionary Soldier - They were declared to be not sufficiently clear as to the marriage of the widow - I then forwarded some additional evidence showing more precisely the time of her marriage - I want you to ascertain whether this evidence was read and why it is I do not get some advice from it and what the apparently wrong is - Please inform me and oblige
I have the honor to be most Respectfullly yours.

Sir
I enclose you herewith the amended affidavits of a Pension and the additional affidavits of Samuel Morrison & Luther Howard relative to the marriage of Catherine (Colborne) widow of Samuel Clark, a Pensioner in the U.S. (See papers on file)
In your letter with stamp of Sep 16/49
You say that the proof is not sufficient and you then suggest what should be amended
It is strange that Samuel Clark should have said in his application in 1820, that his wife's age was only thirty, & that his eldest child's age was only 18. Why he should so state can only be accounted for by his inaccuracy. We have your the best evidence which the nature of the case will admit

of the long very old and infirm There can be no account of any thing she related upon the subject of her marriage
