William Howell of the County of Westmoreland personally appeared before the Subscriber President of the tenth Judicial District of Pennsylvania and being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, That he enlisted in Captain James Ledgewood's Company in the year of April one thousand seven hundred and seventy seven to serve during the war. He was first in Col Morgan's Regiment but immediately transferred to Colonel M'Clintock's Regiment of New York. He served until in 1779 this Regiment was dissolved, and he was transferred to the Regiment commanded by Colonel Spencer, during which time he had been in several different Companies, some time after this deponent was transferred to the Pennsylvania line in the eleventh Pennsylvania Regiment commanded by Colonel Hubley. This deponent had suffered much and was in numerous severe battles, and on the twenty eighth day of January one thousand seven hundred and eighty one after having been in upcountry from 1777, this deponent was honorably discharged, which discharge was countersigned by Genl Anthony Wayne.

This deponent preserved his discharge and forwarded it some years ago to the accountant department of Pennsylvania to procure a pension under an act of assembly of this state, and by some casualty it was lost. Yet this deponent has and does receive from this commonwealth a small pension but has never received or been allowed any from the United States. He further states that from his reduced circumstances the assistance of his earnings for support. Sworn and Subscribed { } H. Howell's signature before me 15 th April 1818. } John Young
