In order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832-
State of Kentucky } Pendleton County } Geo
On this the 7 th day of October A.D. 1833, personally appeared, in open court before the Pendleton County Court at the afore October term before Thomas L. Kennard Hon. Delegates Wm Boston judicial sitting, thereof, James Hammerly a resident of the County aforesaid, aged seventy two years, who, being first duly sworn, according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June the 7 th A.D. 1832-
That he was born as he believes, and always has understood from his parents & relatives, on the 14 th day of November A.D. 1760, at Fort Augustus, in the County of Northumberland State of Pennsylvania: that he knows of no record of the time and place of his birth, and believes there is none, now, in existence, if there is, he knows not where, or in whose possession-
That shortly after the battle of Brandywine (the precise year, owing to his age and the lapse of time, and probably to the want of being blessed with an education or learning sufficient, to enable him to write his name or read with facility, he cannot remember, further than that it was, in that year, in which Fort Nassau in Northumberland County Pennsylvania, was attacked by the Indians and shortly before that event) he took the bounty entered the service, an enlisted, that he received the bounty and was enlisted by a Capt William M c Coy as a common soldier, for the term of seven months against the British and Indians, that he served the seven months, and while out was commanded by said Capt William M c Coy, and Lieut.
Rose or Murray, the former a citizen of Cumberland County Pa: the said officers together with other inferior and superior Officers commanded the expedition - That the superior or general officers who commanded the expedition, in which he enlisted and served and the troops

to which, he was attached, were Gen d James Potter and Col d John Kelly of the said State, and altho' he was in active service for and during the term of seven months, protecting, the, then, frontiers in that section of the country, from invasion and the depredations of the enemy, he was not engaged in any actual battle, and the nearest he ever came, during his said service to an actual engagement, was, being drawn up, twice in line of battle, with the confident expectation of a momentary approach and attack of the enemy - And that his service, together with that of his companions in arms, consisted in marching from point to point on the frontiers, entering, what was then, the enemies country, in pursuit of them, guarding the several frontier Forts and protecting and defending the bordering settlements -
That he resided at the time of entering the services of his country in Northumberland County Pa: and was intitled into the same as before stated by Capt William Mc Coy, that he served during the entire term of seven months, and at the termination thereof, received a written discharge from his said Capt., that the number or name of the Regt to which his company belonged, he does not and cannot recollect: that from his birth up to the year 1793 - he resided in Northumberland and Cumberland Counties Pa, and during the year last aforesaid emigrated to this State (Kentucky); and that when he removed from his native State and County, he left his written discharge (then deemed of little value) among some waste or to him useless papers, and a portion of continental paper money received for services, in Northumberland County, in the possession of Col d John Kelly or a certain W m Martin which of the two is not certainly recollected - And that he has not heard of or seen his discharge since, and knows not whether Kelly or Martin is dead or alive, but presumes them both, from their then age long since dead, and his written discharge long since lost or destroyed - And even, if in existence; he knows not, how, or where to

to find it, And that on account of his infirm age, the distance the want of the means, waving all other obstacles and contingencies arising from the lapse of time, the mutation of population, the inevitable effects of death &c, and the intrinsic difficulties that would present themselves to him, now a stranger, amidst an almost entire new born population in Northumberland he has no hesitation in saying, that the discharge, now, is, for ever, beyond his reach and that he now is unable to procure it -
He further states that he also served in the militia of the State of Pennsylvanico, as a common soldier, during the Revolutionary war , in protecting the frontiers of s d State for short intervals of or terms of time, at other and different services as a soldier in the militia, tho' at no other time, was enlisted by taking the bounty or mustered regularly into the service, or entered upon actual service for a definite time or fixed term, until the commencement of the aforesaid seven months term or tour: And that these irregular services were induced by the difficulties and emergencies of the times, in bodies more or less constituted regularly into military array or force
He further states that owing to the length of time, since his services were performed, the few survivors of those times none of whom are known to him as living, the long period which has elapsed since his emigration, and the great distance he now resides from the country, within which the scenes of his services transpired; and within which even if possibly in unsearched yet) the written or other evidences of those services and also probably the surviving few witnesses thereof - he has no documentary evidence within his possession, reach or knowledge; and knows of no person within this State or his reach, living, whose testimony might be procured which would prove, or who can testify to them - He presumes there is a brother of his, who long since emigrated to the State of Indiana; living, but whether dead or alive, or where, what particular part

he has  gained to or now lives, he has been unable to find out - if their brother is still alive, he knows of his services and by him he could prove his services - but not knowing whether whether alive or dead or where to find him, he now knows of no person living as before stated by whom he could prove his services -
He furthermore hereby relinquishes every claim, whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares, that his name is not on the pension Roll of any Agency in any State - Sworn to & subscribed the day & year aforesaid. James Hamnerly
