Bucks County Penn a ss -
Personally appeared before me the undersigned a Justice of the Peace in and for the County of Bucks Joseph Hogeland who being duly sworn deposeth and saith that by reason of old age and the consequent loss of memory he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below and in the following grades - In the Fall of the year 1777 he was drafted  volunteered into the Militia as a Soldier and served in that capacity two months: In the Spring of 1788 he was again  volunteered  drafted as a soldier was at the battle of Monmouth. and served as a soldier one month - In the summer and Fall of the same year he volunteered as a soldier was encamped at Elizabeth town and stayed six months - Altogether he served as a soldier Nine months and for such service he claims a pension -
The applicant further states as a reason for not obtaining the evidence of a Clergyman as to his belief respecting the age and the general belief in his neighbourhood relation to the revolutionary services of your applicant that there is no Clergyman residing in his neighbourhood acquainted with him, and that in fact that the Church which he is in the habit of frequenting has no settled Pastor at this time - The witnesses which he has produced are highly respectable one of whom John J.

Mrs. Lulu M. Boone Sterling Colorado
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of the following soldiers- Joseph Hoagland of Pennsylvania, Eli Holcomb of Connecticut, and John Bice of New York.
The Revolutionary War records of this office have been searched and no claims for pension found based upon the service of either Eli Holcomb or John Bice; similar spellings of the surnames were searched.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in pension claim, W. 25789, based upon the service of Joseph Hogeland or Hoagland in the War of the Revolution.
Joseph Hogeland (the name is also, shown Hoagland) was born in the year 1760 in Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. The names of his parents were not stated.
While a resident of said Amwell Township, Joseph Hogeland enlisted in the fall of 1777 and served two months as private under Captain George Ely. He served in 1778, one month under same Captain and was in the battle of Monmouth. He served again in 1778, five months in Captain Joseph Clunn's New Jersey company,
Joseph Hogeland was allowed pension on his appli-

cation executed September 15, 1832, at which time he was a resident of Warrenton Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Joseph Hogeland died April 28, 1840 and was buried in the "Burial ground of the Presbyterian Church" at Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Joseph Hogeland married January 31, 1819 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Ann Vanluvanee; she was then of Solebury Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and he was of Amwell Township, New Jersey. It was stated that at the time of her marriage, Ann Vanluvanee was a widow, her maiden name was not stated, nor the name of her former husband.
The widow, Ann Hogeland, was allowed pension on account of the service of her husband, Joseph Hogeland, on her application executed March 12, 1855, at which time she was seventy years of age and living in Buckingham Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Charlotte Vanluvanee was present at the marriage of Ann Vanluvanee and Joseph Hogeland; and Benjamin Vanluvanee, and John Vanluvanee, Sr., were both living in 1855 in Doylestown Borough, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It was not stated that they were related to the said Ann Vanluvanee, or that they were related to each other.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name and address of person paid, and possibly date of death of Ann Hogeland, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D. C., and give the following data-
Ann Hogeland, widow of Joseph Hogeland, certificate # 5067, issued March 30, 1855, Rate $30.00 per annum, commenced February 3, 1853, Act of February 3, 1853, Pennsylvania Agency.

Dear Sir
Enclosed I send you the certificate of the marriage of Asm Hageland the widow of Joseph Hageland dec d a Rev. Soldier and a supplemental affidavit which I hope may be satisfactory. The reason of not sending the cert. was that she did not wish to give up the possession of it as it may be necessary for her in an application for Bounty Land to have it once at again for other purposes. There were no directions in the instructions sent to me that the cert. must be forwarded now were there any directions that the proof must be made by two witnesses nor that they should be credible persons
All these matters I think are now proved & hope that she may receive her pension.
Will you be so good as to send me a form and instructions in regard to Bounty Lands &

Dear Sir
Yours of 6 th inst no relating to the claim of Anna Hageland for Bounty Land No 77,066 has been examined & suspended on the ground of its not appearing on record that her husband Joseph Hageland was inscribed on the serv l Pension roll. There is some mistake on the part of those who examined into this matter for a pension x was granted to the same Anna Hageland on the 30 th day of March 1855 of 30 doll s per ann under the act of 3 d of Feb 1853 which would not have been granted if the Dep t were not satisfied of the services of Jos. Hageland. In her Application for that pension x you will see that she refers to her husband's being a pensioner.
x see Pen Office Rule pg 105 Col 27.
I know that he was a pensioner for the application was drawn up by me and during his life I drew up his Power of Attorney to receive his pension which he punctually rec d .
If an accurate examination is made you will find that Jos. Hageland was a Dep t Pensioner. At his death the Deed of his pension was surrendered up to the Pen. Office to enable her to receive the Arrears of her husband's pension.
