That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated.
That he entered the service in the spring of 1781 as a substitute for William Hays company of Mutchka, and served under Captain John Shearer (however is not certain that the christian name of the capt was John) Lieutenant Anderson. That his engagement was for the term of six months. That his services were performed on the frontier then known as the Westmoreland frontier between the Youghiogheny & Allegheny rivers, and between Turtle creek, Hannahs town & Pittsburgh. That he was at Hamel station near Pittsburgh, & Buffalo station on Bruck creek, at Rayburns station & at Lyons. That during this time he was with a party that pursued a company of Indians & took from them their plunder & horses. That he does not recollect whether he got a written discharge or not. That there was no field officers. That the company to which he belonged served along the frontier for the purpose of protecting the settlements.

That the manner of his becoming a substitute is as follows - That the order for drafting was that two men from each militia company should be drafted, & that him & another man were hired by Captain William Hays company, which was thereby saved from a draft. That he resided at the time he went out in Fayette County (Then Westmoreland) And as his oath of office, he further states that in May 1782 he volunteered in Captain Carrs company to go on an expedition against the Indians at Sandusky Plains - That he marched with the company from Fayette County to Mingo Bottom on the Ohio River and there an election was held for officers. That William Crawford was elected Colonel Commandant David Williamson 2 nd and Thomas Gaddous 3 rd - That there were two Majors elected also, McClelland & Brant - That they marched from Mingo near the Sandusky Towns where they were attacked by the Indians on the 4 th of June 1782. That they fought & kept their ground until the evening of the 5 th when we were compelled to retreat. That we were overtaken on the 6 th by the Indians and had another engagement. That he was just four weeks out on the campaign. That the whole of his services were seven months, six months as a substitute & four weeks as a volunteer. That he was born in Hampshire County Virginia on the 23 rd day of February 1762-3. That he resided at the time he went into the service within a mile or two of where he now lives, in Fayette County Pa - That he has no documentary evidence of his services. That he has no person by whom he can prove them. That he has lost the only record of his age, which was in

in a Bible. That the Rev. Thornton Fleming and the Hon. Andrew Stewart were contemptuous as to his reputation
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatsoever 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.

Dear Sir
I enclose a M.O for $1.30 for a photo stat of the seven pages of papers re Revolutionary War pension claim of Henry Core and his widow Sarah (W. 3336)
Will you please tell me also how many pages there are on file relative to the claim of Samuel Corey who was aged 86 and living in June 1840 with Elijah Corey in Brooke Co. W. Va. (p 106 of 3rd Biennial Report of Dept. of Arch. & Hist. of W. Va pub. 1911) and if the Samuel Corey listed on page 85 of that volume (who was aged 71 private in the New Jersey militia and was placed on the pension roll July 13 1833 with pension beginning Mar. 4, 1831, at the rate of $60 per yr.) is a different man, as he surely must be unless the age is misprinted in one case, I desire knowledge of how many pages are contained in his files also as I desire to have photo stats made.
