Daniel Hoagcock, who after being duly sworn, deposed and saith that he was reported as a deserter, during the revolutionary war but that it was through a mistake of his officers, as the rolls of his regiment will satisfactorily shew - in the fall 1778, he obtained a pass from Lieutenant Col Orr, to return to his father's residence, in consequence of indisposition - that he continued at his father's residence about three months - that through the negligence of the said Orr, who never reported the cause of his absence he was entered on the rolls as a deserter - on his return to camp, he was arrested by Colonel Spencer & placed under a guard - the colonel there ordered a court-martial, & after an impartial hearing he was honorably acquitted and Lieutenant Orr received a severe reprimand from Col Spencer - he then continued to do duty until honorably discharged by Capt d Bonnel at Honey Point - in 1780. (Captain Bonnel, not feeling himself at liberty to give a discharge: inserted that I was at liberty to go home until further orders or till called on - I never was called on afterwards & never received further orders or further oath now)

Dear Sir
I enclose you the papers of Daniel Haycock who makes application for a pension - The secty of War acknowledges service from March 8. 1777 to Nov. 1. 1778. Almost 20 months. He was returned on the day last mentioned as a deserter. His explanation as to desertion will be found annexed to his first affidavit - he has also the affidavit of the Corporal of the Guard, while he was under arrest. I think injustice has been done him and request that you will cause the books to be searched to see what the proceedings of the court martial were if any then be on record & if not to see whether he did not after his return to the army faithfully serve out his time. He is an honest Man has for a long time resided on the frontier & suffered much hardships. He has, I am informed always acted as a good citizen & served several tours against the Indians. His case merits a strict en-quiry; as it now stands, it casts a stigma on his children & family - I believe him innocent. Your friendly interposition will be remembered by
Yours &c. &c.
William C. Keene
N.B. There is considerable uproar, in our bank - genuine notes appear in circulation with counterfeit signatures. Suspicion arises against a person, I have some thought Honest Lewis has much to do in that institution. More anon.
