And in pursuance of the act of the first may 1820; I do solemnly swear, that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18th day of March 1818, and that I have not, since that time, by gift, sale or in any manner disposed of my property, or any part thereof, with intent thereby so to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an act of Congress, entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary War" passed on the 18th day of March 1818; and that I have not, nor has any person in trust for me, any property or securities, contracts or debts due to me; nor have I any income other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed and by me submitted. Schedule of property. Real estate I have none. Personal property.

I owe about two hundred and seventy dollars $270, 00
That since the 18th day of March 1818, the following changes have been made in my property. In the year 1818 I owned a farm in the county of Schoharie of about one hundred and seventy acres of up land, worth about eight hundred dollars. That towards part of the consideration I turned out same property and gave a bond and a mortgage of five hundred and thirty five dollars on said farm to secure the balance of the purchase money. The mortgage remains unpaid and now amounts with the interest to rising of nine hundred dollars, that the land was sold about three years ago, subject to the mortgage, on a judgment obtained against me in the supreme court of the State of New York, in 1820, in favour of Atwater, Cook and Dwight for about one hundred and ninety two dollars besides the interest on the same for about six years.
The judgment was obtained on a note they bought of Archibald Crosswell, which I gave him for what I owed him. The farm was bid off for about two hundred and fifty dollars by Archibald Crosswell, who now owns the same unless he has disposed of it. And on the 18th of March 1818, I owned one span of horses, one wagon, one farming mill, a two horse harness, two cows, a two horse sled and some young cattle, all of which were sold in December 1820, on said execution, excepting one of the cows which I have now. I had also a mow of hay, a plough, drag and sweeper, some flax and a small quantity of grain growing on the ground, all of which was sold at the time aforesaid on said execution. Part of the money arising from the sale was applied on an other execution in favor of Dubois & Van Voorst. A part of the property was bid off by Abraham Richtmyer and a part by Christopher Hoagland, and a part by John Hoagland , Junior , and a part by John Hoagland, Junior.
I am a farmer by occupation, and am able to labour moderately, I have a wife aged about seventy two years, and a daughter, a single woman living with me aged about forty six years and is a weakly person, unable to support herself or to

contribute much towards his support.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of John Hoagland, born about 1759, Somerset County, New Jersey, died December, 1831.
The data furnished herein were obtained from papers on file in claim for pension, S. 43694, based upon service of John Hoagland, in the War of the Revolution.
The date and place of birth of John Hoagland are not given, nor are the names of her parents shown.
John Hoagland enlisted in New Jersey (definite place not stated), sometime in August, 1775, served as private in Captain John Polhemus' company in the New Jersey Regiment, commanded by Lord Sterling (Colonel William Alexander) and was discharged at Ticonderoga, having served one year and three months, the regiment at the time of his discharge was commanded by Colonel Winds.
He was allowed pension on his application executed October 6, 1839, at which time he was a resident of Schoharie County, New York, aged

sixty-nine years and "about eleven months".
The soldier, John Hoagland, referred to his wife, in 1839 as aged about seventy-two years, and to a single daughter aged about forty-six years, but he gave no names.
Reference was made in 1830 to Christopher Hoagland and to John Hoagland, Jr., but it was not stated that they were related to the soldier, or were related to each other.
The papers on file in this claim contain no further discernible data relative to family.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name and address of person paid, and possibly the date of death of this pensioner, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and furnish the following data-

Schoharie Dec. 2 1829
Dr. Sir:
Enclosed I forward the amended declaration and affidavits in the pension proceedings of John Hoagland. The old man in his first declaration and stated that he enlisted in the year 75. He is still confirmed with that belief, yet he has varied it by saying, that that he enlisted in 75 or 76, so have the witnesses.
You state in your letter that Polhemus did not enter the service till Dec. 76, from which it would appear that Hoagland could not have served under Polhemus over eleven months.
I have no doubt but Hoagland enlisted at the time he stated, but the probability is, at that time the company was commanded by some other person and that Polhemus commanded at the time he and the witnesses were discharged, and probably had for some time before and having commanded the larger part of the time Hoagland and the witnesses served, left the impression that they he commanded at the time they enlisted.
It can hardly be expected that men can swear to the month, or even the year, in which an occurrence took place more than half a century ago.
That Hoagland enlisted and served fifteen months can't be doubted, for the fact stands legally proved, and a service of nine months would entitle him to a pension. Now whether his service commenced in 75 or 76 cannot be material.
I hope the proceedings will be satisfactory as the witnesses live between two and three hundred miles from Hoagland and perhaps a further attestation or amendment could not be procured.

Dear Sir:
I am helping Mrs. Foster West of Oneonta, N.Y. Her ancestor John Hoagland born Harlingen, Somerset Co., N.J. and bapt. Nov. 25, 1759 served in the Rev. War and according to the Hoagland Genea. he was pensioned - Pension Roll 236 - Jan. 30, 1830 - then living in Schoharie Co., N.Y. at that time 71 years. He died Dec. 1831. It states further that his wife was Phebe, daughter of Alexander Baird, to whom he was married July 15, 1780 - she was born in 1766 and died in 1837.
Baird genealogy states that Alexander more Baird had a daughter Ann born 1766.
Does the pension record of John Hoagland give the name of the father (or parents) of Phebe (Baird) Hoagland. We want to re

if this Alexander Baird served in the Revolution and to prove that the father of Phebe was Alexander. Perhaps Phebe re- ceived a pension after her husband died. Any information or help you can give about Phebe or her parents or birth- place to use for proof will be appreciated.
Very truly yours,
(Mrs.) Garrison B. Warner
