I Mark Rideout a resident of the Town of Bowdoin in the County of Lincoln and State of Maine aged seventy years, on oath depose, testify and say that I was well acquainted with William Hogan who died in this Town nearly forty years ago. He married Salome Stuart who survived him and remain- ed a widow to the day of her death. The only sur- -viving child of said William Hogan and his wife Salome is Elizabeth Jones of N. Anson in this State — said Hogan was reported to have been a Man of war's man in the time of the Revolu- -tionary war in the service of the United States — I have often heard him relate what happened to him while in the service, particularly his voyage to France in the frigate Alliance — That the frigate was chased by a British seventy four, that the Alliance spread all her sail until the masts buckled and finally made her escape — No one in this place doubts that William Hogan above named was in the Naval service of the United States in the time of the Revolutionary war — I no more doubt it than I do my own existence.

Sir, No apology was necessary for the performance of the work you have undertaken.
I have none of the papers of the late Com. Barry in my possession, but some were placed in my hands by his relatives a few years since, when I wrote the biographical sketch to which you allude. If you will write to Joseph R. Gageroll, Member of Congress from Philadelphia, and ask him to enquire of the relatives of the late Com. Barry, if there is still in existence a muster roll of the Allisance's crew, I think you may probably obtain the information you need. It will be well to mention the name you desire to find. You can use my name with Mr. Gageroll, by way of explaining the liberty you take. He is a most obliging man, and an intimate friend of mine, I give you his name as the surest mode of having the matter sifted.
Many of the papers of the old Navy are still in the hands of the descendants of Notab. officers. A letter to his son, Thomas Morris Esquire, New York, might enable you to get at your facts.
If there is a roll at Washington, a letter to the Secretary of the Navy will meet with prompt attention. Judge Mason would at once order an examination and you would have justice done in short order. I would advise you by all means, to write direct to Mr. Mason. If you should state in your letter that this is done by my advice it might quicken the movements of subordinates a little, though the Secretary will be prompt in his measures, if his own accord.
Hoping you will succeed, I am,
Sir, Very Respectfully
Yours

I Jacob Henrik of Lewiston Falls Village, in the Town of Danville, County of Cumberland, State of Maine, of lawful age, on oath before, testify and say, that in the autumn of 1847, in pursuing my business I visited the Town of Bowdoin, in the County of Lincoln, said Bowdoin was formerly a part of the Town of Topsham, in said County of Lincoln, that while there I was informed by the relations and friends of Mrs. Salome Hogan, that she the said Salome, had an undoubted claim for a pension, for the Revolutionary services of her husband William Hogan, who they informed me was a man of war's man as they termed it in the time of the Revolution. Mrs. Hogan had removed from Bowdoin to Anson in the State of Maine a few years previous to this and was then living with her only child Mrs. Elizabeth Jones at that place. Her friends in Bowdoin urged me to visit her and undertake her case. I afterwards repaired to Anson to visit Mrs. Hogan, who informed me that the account her friends at Bowdoin had given me was correct, that she had applied for a pension, but had not been able to obtain it, on account of the want of formality in the manner, of getting up her claim and the want of proof of the service of her late husband, stating

that she knew of no one who served with him and that there was no Roll of the Ship Allieune within the knowledge of herself, or those who had assisted her in preparing her papers. She then gave me an identification of her husband as follows "That he was a quarter Master on board the Allieune, Capt Barry, that ship was laid up in Boston in 1880 and served nearly or quite two years and was discharged in Philadelphia." After she had made this statement I inquired if she might not be mistaken as to the rank he held on board the ship. She immediately replied that he was a "Quarter Master and nothing else."
In August or September of 1888 I wrote to J. Fenimore Cooper Esq of Cooper Town, repeating the old lady's identification of her husband and requested his assistance in the matter. His answer to me is attached to this affidavit. I followed his advice, wrote to Hon. Joseph R. Ingersoll, still giving the same description of the man, which I had received from Mrs Hogan. The result was that he forwarded to me the abstract of the Muster Roll of the Ship Allieune, so far as William Hogan's name is concerned which is hereto annexed. And now I appeal to Mr Ingersoll to state, whether or not my description of Hogan was such that he would immediately recognize it on the ship's Roll. And I respectfully request that he would make the statement on the

some paper containing the abstract of the pijute Alliance, which he forwarded to me with such other remarks, as he shall deem necessary.

Philadelphia August 7 th 1849
In consequence of a request some time since, communicated to me in writing by Mr Jacob Herrick, I procured from Captain Patrick Hayes the Master Roll of the Frigate Alliance which had been commanded by the late Captain Barry who, as I have always understood, was the Uncle of Captain Hayes. This document remained for several weeks in my possession and was returned by me to Captain Hayes. It purports to set forth the names and Stations of the numerous persons attached to the ship, and consisted of several pages. I had no difficulty from the description given me by Mr Herrick, in finding the name of W m Hogan. I copied the heading of the page on which that name was found among others in regular succession, and I copied the name itself, as appears on the other side of this sheet. The copy so made is in my writing and was made by myself from the master roll. I sent the copy as it now stands, to Mr Herrick, and I now inscribe this certificate on its being returned to me for that purpose. As far as concerns myself the statement made by Mr Herrick is correct.
