State of Ohio } Columbiana county, ss. } On the 19th. day of October, A.D. 1832, personally appeared in open court before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas now sitting, Stout Chamberlain, a resident of said Columbiana County aged seventy- five years on 1st. of May who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to ob- tain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States as a drafted Militia man on or about the 20th. of June, A.D. 1777 or 8, the year not particularly recollected, for a tour of six months under the command of Gen. M c In- toch, Col. Val. Crawford, Col. Jack- Stinton, Capt. James Wright, & Lieut. Murray that he served said tour of six months and at the end of the same which he will recollect was a few days before Christmas, rec. a discharge from Capt. James Wright, which is since lost. - During these 6 months service, he lay mostly at Fort M c In tosh at the mouth of Big Beaver on the Ohio river, (where he helped to build said fort,) and at Fort Tuscarawas, which he also helped

to build. Thence he was marched back (b) Fort M c Intosh where he was dischar- ged; thence upon being so discharged, he went to his residence in Washington County, Pa. and remained till the ensuing May, when he was again drafted and served for an other term of four months, under Captain William Hoaglin. During this tour was for most of the time stationed at Holliday's cave in Brooke Co. Vt. — at the end of this 4 months he rec d . a discharge from said Capt. Hoaglin, which is since lost.
In the August next following said last men- tioned service, he was again drafted and served for a tour of two months; during which two months he served as a frontier guard under Capt. Swearengen, and was stationed most- ly at the same place as mentioned above in the said four months service; making in all 12 months' service as a drafted mili- tia soldier. — From this time till peace was made in 1863, he served continually as a volunteer , being all the time occu- pied as a guard for the frontier along the Ohio River, but during this time had no particular officers, nor is the precise amount of service recollected.

During the aforesaid service was in sev- eral skirmishes, but no particular battle.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever 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.
