The Commission was signed by John Hancock President of Congress. He was placed under Col. William Green of the 6 th Pennsylvania Regt. He was furnished with money to recruit, by the Colonel, and was engaged in that Service in York County Penn a before the Regt. was filled, when he was placed under Capt. Moses Allison & marched from York County to Philadelphia in May 1776. & from thence to New York, & from thence by water to Albany, & from thence to the half Moon twelve miles above Albany, where he was placed over as Commander of forty eight picked men, with two Sergeants & two Corporals, called a flanking light infantry Company, From that place went by water across Lake

Lake George, From thence down Lake Champlain to Fort St Johns, From thence to Fort Chamblee, From thence to the Mouth of Sorell on the St. Lawrence, & was there under the command of General Sullivan, at that place they built a log Fort, From that place, the First to which this deponent belonged the General  first & fourth  second Regts first The second  first commanded by Col. St. Clair The fourth  second by Col. Wayne, went down the St. Lawrence forty five miles, to attack the British at the Three Rivers, When the Army arrived at the Three Rivers, They attacked the enemy but were repulsed & forced to retreat, They then returned to Genl. Sullivans Camp at the Mouth of Sorell, From thence a retreat took place, to the Fort at St Johns From that place, the whole Army were marched or taken either by Water to an Island in Lake Champlain called the Isle of St. Johns, There they were attacked by the Canadians & Indians, When deponent & a party were out on a Scout, & he was taken prisoner, after an obstinate resistance in which Capt. Adams was killed & Ensign Cubberon & two privates were killed, at that skirmish Captain McLean, was wounded
Deponent was sent as a prisoner under Guard to Fort St Johns where the British had then taken Passumpsburg, & from thence to Chamblee, & from thence

to Montreal & was there handed over to General Carleton, by the Indians who had him in charge, with his Captain (McLean) who was also a prisoner with several others, who were all bound with cords, and during which time they considered their lives from the threats & menaces of the Indians in imminent danger, but when delivered over to the British General they considered themselves more secure.
From that place the prisoners were all taken to Quebec, Deponent was kept there about two months when a Parole was presented for them to sign with a stipulation that they would not take up arms again during the war, This the Virginia & Penn. a Prisoners refused to do, On two days afterwards they were presented with another Parole, with a condition that they might go home & that if called upon to do service before an exchange of prisoners, that then they must surrender themselves again as prisoners, This Parole Deponent with the other Prisoners signed, They were then sent to New York & arrived there about the last of September, From thence they marched to Philadelphia & there three months pay. Deponent was there made Paymaster, From there Deponent went home & stayed there until May 1779 when he was informed by Capt. McLean, who was his Captain

That he was exchanged, he lived then in Cumberland County near College Penn. a On receiving this information he went immediately to Head Quarters Close to Somerset Court House in the State of Jersey & reported himself ready for duty & called upon the Col. of the 6. th Regt. which was then commanded by Col. Hays and demanded his rank he was informed that the Regt. was full but that the first vacancy he would be called for, he returned home & was never again sent for nor had no further notice on the subject.
At the time he went to head quarters and reported himself, after his exchange, he drew his pay up to the time he was exchanged, General Washington signed the warrant for his pay which he drew in Continental paper, which he kept until it died in his hands.
After the close of the war, he took his commission to the Contractors office at Philadelphia to draw a years pay which was due him, he left his commission there & never again seen it.

Stricken off on the ground that he had too much property to entitle him to the provisions of that act. by reference to his papers filed in the pension office these facts will fully appear

Sir
Your letter of the 20 th ultimo is received. and would have answered by last mail but wished to consult Mr. Hoge and obtain such information from him, as might enable you to judge of the propriety of his accepting a pension for nine months. I did not write Mr. Hoges declaration, but from what I can learn from him, he is unable to furnish any other evidence of his service, than is therein stated - he flattered himself that as he drew pay while he was on his parole as an unexchanged prisoner until May 1779 when he was finally discharged by Col Hays near Somerset Court House in the State of New Jersey. that he might come within the provisions of the act. for a full pension but if you should deem this unavailable - he desires to be placed on the Roll for nine months. and that his certificate may be forwarded to my care, as it is more convenient to receive it here than at Beaver Court House - His name is John Hoge and not James Hoge as stated in the two communications from the department enclosed in your letter to me
Please accept my thanks for your attentions to this matter, and believe me

Sir - By your letter to me of Dec r last in relation to the petition of John Hope you say "That the claim of James Hope has been ex- amined, and there is no evidence, on this off r that he served for a longer period than 9 months, if he shall so direct his claim will be admitted for that time" I wrote to a friend of Mr. Hope's and enclose you his answer. If there be nothing in the suggestion, understood in the enclosed letter, and you still think that nothing better can be done for Mr. Hope, you will then be so good as to send me his certificate, for the 9 months
Yours Respectfully

Sir,
The reply of the Secretary of State, to the application for proof of the services of John Hoge, as a Lieutenant of the 6 th & 7 th Regiments of the Pennsylvania Line, confirms the decision heretofore communicated, against an increase of pension.
He was allowed for 9 months service, and his own statement upon oath was, that he was commissioned on 6 th February 1776, taken prisoner 9 th July, and put on parole last of September of the same year.
The Washington papers shew that he was commissioned 9 th January 1776, and "was left out of the regiment 20 th March 1777," being "a prisoner on parole."
I am Sir, Very Respectf.

Sir,
In compliance with the request contained in your favor of the 22 nd inst, I have caused the Washington Papers to be examined for evidence of the Revolutionary service of John Hoge, and find that he is returned, under date of the 17 th September 1777 as an Ensign of the 9 th Pennsylvania Regiment, Commissioned April 4 th of the same year. In a return of the same regiment, dated August 27 th 1778, the said John Hoge is also reported as an Ensign, with a memorandum opposite his name that he left the service 1 st April 1778.
Very Respectfully,
I am Sir

Sir,
Col Northrop requests me to call your attention to the claim of the heirs of L t John Hoge of Pen a to a pension, under the act 7 th June 1832. He states that Hoge was a pensioner under the act of 1818 and afterwards under the act 7 th June 1832, and that in October last he made an application for an additional amount. That he did not then press the claim because it was barred by the 4 th section of the act of 3 March. That there were two John Hoges in the service, Cousins, the one a Lieut. and the other an Ensign serving in different regiments. That in the examination at the State Department, they found the one & as he supposed looked no further and consequently did not find the other. He begs that case may now be taken up and passed.
Yours very respectfully
Francis A. Dickinson.

Sir,
In answer to yours of yesterday I have to say that there were two John Hoge: - One of the 6. th afterwards the 7. th Pa. Regt. and the other of the 9. th - that the application for an increased pension is on behalf of John Hoge of the 6. th & 7. th Regts. - that in the examination at the State Department they have only examined rolls of the 9. th Regt and consequently not found the records of the applicant. - I must therefore request you to be so good as to have the rolls of the 6. th & 7. th Regts examined. - I also beg leave to say that I understand that the pensioner received bounty land from the A. S. and that the other did not.
Yours very respectfully Francis A. Dickinson

Memorandum for John Hoge a Lt of the 6th Artillery was numerically changed to 4th Pa Bty, then appeared not now recalled but was captured by the enemy in the fall of 1862 along with Division officers of that Bty, to wit Capt. James M. Wilson. Colonel Wm. Hoge Lt Colonel Robert H. Taylor. Major John Green. John Hoge. These officers were all paroled at Appomattox in April 1865. They were then returned to their respective commands in the Spring of 1865, in the mean time the original had been newly organized the 6th became the 7th, this took place in March 1865. When all these officers were left out with the recruits in the election part of that Bty on the 24th of August 1865 and to the name of each of these officers is the Remark "Prisoner of war on parole left out in the reorganization." This Roll is officially signed by the Col and is now on file in the State Department along with the Washington Papers. In the Volume in which is the Roll of the Pa Line believed to be one of the same in which is the Virginia, however the Roll was before me and shows the above facts and it is presumed that the Governor of Pennsylvania will not for one minute deny that a Prisoner of war is not in service until exchanged which on the 28th of August 1865 Lt Hoge is then reported, never he was in service about two and a half years as will be shown and entitled to $320 per year instead of $120 which was allowed him under the act of 7th June 1832 - An unpleasant litigation took place in 1830 in the case of Green & Wilson in which the Col had testified over his signature on the 28th of August 1865 that he was a Prisoner of war on parole, but yet this certificate

Of the last area his signature of this date was disregarded because a better one on the right-hand side of the draft is headed "Date of Resignation" and each of those Resignations were made just on the same day in March 1864 1874, being evidence as to how as every thing can be that this date is the day on which they were left out in the arrangement in consequence of being decisions of war - I want with the difficulty as a restoration but this question must be now settled by an appeal to the law officers of the government to decide whether a resignation was in parole is not in service. You yourself have admitted and acted upon this principle in allowing in 1834 a pension to the widow of Lt John Frost of the Georgia line died in the District of Columbia.
Yours faithfully Henry Wood

Hon. Ezekiel S. Candler, Jr., House of Representatives.
My dear Mr. Candler:
In reply to your letter dated the 21" and received the 23" instant, I have the honor to advise you that from the papers in pension claim Sur. File No. 23,710, it appears that John Hoge was allowed pension on his application executed May 23, 1812 at which time he resided in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.
He stated that he was born in 1751 in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, where he resided nine miles below Carlisle, when he was commissioned February 6, 1776, a Lieutenant in Captain Moses McClean's company, Colonel William Irvine's regiment of Pennsylvania troops, in the expedition to Canada under Generals St. Clair and Wayne, he was in the battle of Three Rivers, and served until July 9, 1776 when he was captured at Isle Aux Noix by the British, Canadians and Indians, and held at Quebec until September 1776 when he was put on board a prison ship and sent to New York on parole; he was exchanged in May 1779 and discharged at Somerset Court House, New Jersey.
Inf. Beaver Soldier was a resident of Hanover County, Pennsylvania when he died May 10, 1834, and the arrears of his pension were paid to his surviving children, Mary Lowden, Jonathan, William and James Hoge.

You are further advised that the military history of John Chambers, Sur. File No. 1,651, was furnished you on the 19 th instant.
In order to identify the pension claim of John Mackey (McKay or Mackay) who received $1,520 in arrears, the County and State in which the pensioner resided, the dates on which his name was placed on the roll and his pension commenced, are essential.
Very respectfully,
Acting Commissioner.
