Be It Known That on this 8 th day of May one Thousand Eight Hundred and Forty Four Personally appeared before the undersign a Justice of the Peace in and for the County and State aforesaid Dennis Darley a resident of the County of Scott of Kentucky aged Eighty two years who being first duly Sworn according to Law doth on his oath make the following Declaration in order to obtain the provision made by the acts of Congress passed May 15 th 1828 and June 7 th 1832 with all the benefits of said Acts That in consequence of his great age and loss of memory he is not able to state the time he entered and left the Service but refers to his former Declaration which is on file under the Act of Congress of March 18. 1818 which was made in Butler County State of Ohio and Prays that it may be made a part of this Declaration To the best of his recollection he was enlisted by a Sergeant his name not now recollected and entered the Service in the Month of November the year not now recollected For and during the War of the Revolution and served till the close and was honorably discharged which discharge he thinks is on file with his other Declaration He is of the impression that he entered the Service as a Private Soldier in the Month of November and in March thereafter he was appointed a Trumpeter to the Third Troop of the Third Regiment commanded by Col William Washington and he was in Cobham Barrets Company of Cavalry

And acted as Trumpeter for more than two years for the Thras Troop of the Third Ridgements of Cavalry commanded by Col William Washington He does not now recollect of stating in his first declaration that he was a Trumpeter and he thinks he did not state this fact as he did not then know that it would have made his Pension more and the only reason why he has not applied for the benefit of the above named acts is that he did not know that they give him more Pension than he now receives on his Present Pension Certificate which is ninety six Dollars Per Annum being only Eight Dollars Per Month It bearing date April 20. 1819 Signed by J C Calhoun Secretary of War No 9.971 He is very poor and dependent and confined at home where he receives but little information of what is done by Congress He resided in Brunswick County State of Virginia at the time he entered the Service which was first in the Militia and he then enlisted in Virginia Continental Line under Col Barrot as a Privat and was appointed as a Trumpeter as stated he found Head Quarters at Hillsborough N.C and march over North and South Carolinens and was in the battle at Eutaw Springs S.C and was honorably discharged at the final close of the war and has not received any land from Virginia or the United States and was promised seven Hundred and Fifty dollars when he enlisted and has only received one Dollar and received upward of Forty Pounds a balance of his Full Pay from Richmond Va by Mr Jones He informed me the balance would be paid by the General Government which he never applied for as he was unable to enter the application and not because he did not need it

He hereby relinquishes every Claim whatever to a to a Pension or annuity except the Present and he declares that his name is not on any other Pension Roll of any agency in any State but the one now referred to in his declaration and that he now receives his Pension of $ 200 per month from at Louisville State of Kentucky which is the only Pension that is received by him

Yours of the 3 d Instant to Col R M Johnson informing him that the claim of Dennis Daily is allowed as a Trampler under the act of June 7. 1832 and that his Certificate should be returned for that Purpose was enclosed to me and has been presented to Mr Dennis Daily and he expressed to me an entirely willing ness to give up his Pension Certificate to be returned to you but the man with whom he lives objected to his giving of it up as a new one might not return before Sep r 4 and no draw had been made in March and Mr Daily was owing him nearly the amount of Boath Drawing for Boats and that he wanted the money without fail in September Mr Daily felt in honor bound under the circumstances to retain the old Certificate and to draw his last years Pension and pay off his debts and states that he will give up his old Certificate to be returned after Sep r 4 and that he cannot not do it sooner unless then he is owing will consent as his word and honor is pledged to pay them in September

He informs me that he has been  is in the habit of send- -ing to Louisville once a year for his Pension a distance of upwards of 70 miles and that he would be glad if it could be  was so that he could draw in September all that is due him for the new Certificate and a check for the back Pension could be sent to Col R. M. Johnson it would be a great accommodation to Mr. Gailly he lives near him and could apply in person for it or if it could be sent to the Pension agent at Louisville he could send his old Certificate to him and get his new one Any Receipt you can afford him will be received with a grateful heart he is among the best men that lives and the most needy

Dear Sir
The enclosed is for the increase of the Pension Mr Dennis Dailey your neighbour (He lives on Mrs Pitts Land He now draws 96$ and no doubt is entitled to at least 100$ per annum and I ask for more than this amount as he was a Drummer for Col Washington Light Horse which will extend back as far as 1828 if he should be entitled to land from the United States and if he is not entitled to land to 1832 you will see in his application for land he has made a Power of Attorney to you. He has also laid his claim before the Executive of Virginia and also has made you a Power of Attorney. He thinks there is money due him from the United States for his service in the War of Revolution S d H d Parker Esq r Register of the Land office has agreed to get copies of papers in the case of Mr John Jacobs and Sarah Jerry and the Power of Attorney has been sent to him. This will entitle Mrs Jerry to a Pension under the act of July 4 1836 and John Jacobs to give your Pension than he now receives

It any thing but Record widow will do In the case of Mrs. Sarah Jerry the widow of Obadiah Jerry the Records show his service in the Regular Service and entitle her to a Pension under the act of July 7. 1838 and the Militia Service which was performed after their marriage is already known known by two or three witnesses which is on file in the Pension office they have agreed to allow her a Pension under the first man act of 60% per Annum when her Decl- aration should be forward which has been done some months ago I think at night people that the widow from Richmond would entitle her to 80% under the act of July 4. 1836 and that S. H. Parker Esq. would forward to you if requested immediately I intend to have forward the Petition to the Governor of Virginia to have when I can send writing but have concluded to send it to you for you to dispose of it as you may think best Mr. Park has allways attended very promptly to business for me and I suppose he has not been able to get copies of the Affidavit from the Execution on which Obadiah Jerry and John Jacobs were several land yours in part Lewis C.

In an attempt to trace the war history of one Dennis Dailey, a Revolutionary soldier, I communicated with the Kentucky State Library and have from them the suggestion that I communicate with you, giving you the reference found in the Kentucky State Library: "Dennis Daley, War 4, 164." and "Dennis Dailey, S. of W. 1835, Pen. 8, Ky. 57."; also the information that "Dennie Dayley" was a pensioner in Woodford Co., Ky., in 1840 and at that time was 79 years of age.
Any further information you may have on file will be much appreciated

and whatever charge you may require for this service, I shall expect to pay.
