That he is the son of one John Woodland now deceased, who was deemed and reputed to have been a combatant in the Revolutionary war of the United States. That this deponent has heard his father say, that he served in the army of the United States, for a long period of time, but cannot tell the precise time, nor can he tell the month or year, in which he entered, into the service of the United States. That he has heard his Father say, and verily believes it true, that his Father resided in the County of Washington, in the State of Pennsylvania, and resided there at the time he entered into the service of the United States. That this deponent says, he verily believes, from what his Father told him, that his said Father served in the Pennsylvania Militia under Colonel David Williamson, and also under Colonel John Marshall but the length of time he served, under either of those Officers he cannot state. He cannot state the battles of any, in which his said Father was engaged, or the country through which he marched, he cannot tell when, or in what year his said Father was born, nor has he any record of his age. That his said Father as deponent before stated, to the best of his knowledge and belief resided in the County of Washington & State of Pennsylvania, that he afterwards resided in the County of Northampton, in the same state and resided there from the earliest recollection of this deponent, until the time of his death. That he died at or near a place called Roxbury, in the said County of Northampton, on the 18 th day of October A.D. Eighteen hundred and thirty seven.

That he is known to Nancy Ganger and Miriam Miller in his neighborhood, who can testify to his character for truth and veracity, and their belief of the revolutionary services of his deceased father. That there is no clergyman living in the immediate vicinity of the applicant, who from his knowledge can testify his belief of the age of his deceased father, or of his reputed service in the Revolutionary war. That he does not know of any person living who knew his Father in the days of the Revolutionary war. That the said John Woodland Father of the deponent died on the 18 th day of October A.D. 1837. That he died leaving an widow but issue to wit six children. James, Samuel, Rachael intermarried with Edward Roberts, Daniel, Jane, and John Woodland the deponent.

Sir
I enclose herewith additional proofs in favour of the Claim of John Hoagland of Pa. for Pension under the Act of June 7. 1832 consisting of the Certificate of the Auditor of Penn s and an Additional Deposition of Sam l Countryman which I trust will be found sufficient to justify the Allowance of the Claim. Mr Countryman served in the Revolutionary War with Mr H, and is now I believe a Pensioner on your Book, and swears most positively that Capt t Hoagland served for nearly two years in a Military Capacity. The son of the dec d Capt t H, is represented as being very poor & needy, and with all a man of good character in his County. I also enclose the necessary proofs in the Case of Mrs Margaret Moore for Pension under the Act of Feb'y 8. 1833, which I respectfully request may be examined at your earliest convenience.
Very Respectfully Yours
