William Grant

The State of Ohio County of Hamilton
Personally came before me the undersigned President Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of the seventh Circuit for the State of Ohio William Grant now residing in the county and State aforesaid who being duly sworn according to law deponeth and saith that early in the month of November 1776 at the town of Dumfries in the State of Virginia he enlisted under Capt Gollidew of the 11th Regiment of the Virginia Line to serve for the term of three years, that he marched with his company under the command of first Lieutenant Daves to Baltimore, and from thence to Boundbrook in the State of New Jersey where he joined the American Army early in the Spring of 1777, and particularly his own Regi- ment which was commanded by Colonel Morgan, and at this time belonged to General Woodford's Brigade. That subse- quently when the Rifle Regiment under Colonel Morgan was formed from the King and more especially from the Virginia Line and detached from the Main Army under General Washington to join the Northern Army, the 11th Regiment to which this deponent belonged, was commanded by Lt Colonel Feebecke, and the company in which he served was under Lt. Davis, that he served in this Regiment for three years, but for the latter part of this period the com- pany was commanded by Captain Rice, that he was discharged at Pompton Plains in the State of New Jersey on or about the first day of November 1779 - and this his discharge

was signed to the best of this deponent's knowledge and recollection by Colonel Wood at that time Commandant of the Brigade in the absence of General Woodford - That after the conclusion of peace this deponent left his discharge at a public office in Richmond Virginia, whither all the Virginia line went to receive a detatched pay to make good the depreciated currency or paper money in which they were paid while in the service where he supposes it is now deposited, and if it is not there, he cannot tell what has become of it. This deponent thinks, the office above alluded to, was called the Pay office but of this he is not certain, And this deponent further deponeth and saith, that in consequence of his advanced age xxx being now in the 67th year of his age, and several circumstances, he stands in need of the assistance of his country for support & further saith not,

ON this 29 th day of August 1820 personally appeared in open court, being a court of record for the said County William Grant aged sixty nine years resident in said County who, being duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath declare, that he served in the revolutionary war, as follows that he the said William Grant enlisted for the term of three years in the month of November in the year 1776 in the state of Virginia in the company commanded by Captain Holliday in the regiment commanded by Colonel Morgan in the line of the state of Virginia on the continental establishment. That he continued to serve in the said corps until the 1 st of November 1779 when he was discharged from the said service in the state of New Jersey that his original declaration was dated on the 15 th day of May 1818 that he has received a pension certificate, given at the War Office of the United States on the 23 rd day of June 1819 which said certificate is numbered 12229 And in pursuance of the act of the 1st May, 1820, I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States, on the 18th 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 so to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions 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 18th day of March, one thousand eight hundred and eighteen; and that I have not, nor has 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 subscribed.
And I further declare that I formerly was a house Carpenter by occupation, but I am not able to follow that business on account of my advanced age but more especially as I am very severely afflicted with the gravel in the kidneys which for the last six months has rendered me unable to do any kind of work. I have a wife living who for the last two years has been almost helpless and for the greater part of the time under a Physicians care. I am wholly unable to maintain myself and wife by labour or other means and stand greatly in need from my old age and poverty of the assistance of my Country for support. And further I declare not
