State of Ohio Hamilton County
Before me John Mohr and a
Justice of the Peace in and for the county aforesaid personally came Mary Coleman of lawful age, who being duly sworn according to law deposeth and saith, that for about fifteen or sixteen years, before the year 1776 she had been well acquainted, with Neniah Coleman whose declaration under oath setting forth his services in the revolution- ary war she has heard read. That she well knows, that he enlisted at Leesburg in the State of the Virginia some time in the year 1776, to serve for three years in the Continental Army, that he was absent from the place of his residence about three years and it was a matter of general notoriety in the neighbourhood where the said Coleman, had lived, that he was in the Army for that period, that deponent well remembers that, during the time of his services, he returned home for a short time on furlough, that he afterwards returned to the Army, where he continued as deponent verily believes until his time of service expired, for which he had originally engaged, to serve, that it was generally known and believed among his relations and neighbours, that he had been in the service, as the events of the war in which, he had been engaged, were frequently spoken of by him, and were topics of conversation, among them. And finally deponent saith that she has been acquainted, with the said Coleman

since his residence in the Western country and has always understood, and does verily believe that the said Coleman served in the war of the revolution, for three years or thereabouts, and further she saith not.

Before me John Mahard a Justice of the peace in and for the county aforesaid, personally came Joseph Reeder, of lawful age, who being duly sworn according to law depreth and saith, that previous to the commencement of the revolutionary war, he resided in the County of Loudoun in the State of Virginia that, for about four or five years before the commencement of the war aforesaid he was acquainted with Meriad Coleman an applicant for pension under the act of Congress of the 18th of March 1818. and whose declaration under oath herewith accompanying he has heard read, who was at that time, a neighbour of his and resided in the county. That some time after the beginning of the revolutionary war, deponent thinks in the year 1776. the said Coleman enlisted at Leesburg in the county aforesaid in the continental army, that he left that part of the country and was absent (with the army to the best of deponent's knowledge and belief) for a long time, that it appears to deponent, to have been two or three years, but at this distance of time he cannot pretend to say with precision how long. That deponent frequently talked with his relations & friends among whom he lived, in the same neighbourhood, with interest and concern about the said Coleman during his absence, that after the return of the said Coleman, he,

frequently talked with the said Coleman about the events of the war, in which conversations he told him of the actions in which he had been in, and gave him a detail of his life while in the Army. That deponent continued to be well acquainted with the said Coleman, after his return from the army until his removal to the Western country, where the said Coleman has resi- -ded, a neighbor of his for nearly thirty years, and finally this deponent saith, that he has every reason to believe and does verily believe, that the aforesaid Henry Coleman did serve in the continental army during the revolutionary war, for the period of three years, or thereabout and further this deponent saith, not.
