Hagan twenty eight years Old being duly sworn deposes that in the spring of the year 1819. his father Charles Hagan took him into part- nership at Charlestown in Clark County in the copper- smiths business that said Charles was to furnish the capital and this Deponent to do the work & share the profits the said Charles advanced sixteen hundred Dollars of which nine hundred & fifty dollars was paid to Todd & Hawkins Merchants of Charlestown in Bank bills of Kentucky & was exchanged so as to procure funds of specie value & thereby reduced to Nine hundred Dollars and said Todd & Hawkins made purchases for the firm with said sum and advances of seven hundred dollars more by them to the amount of sixteen hundred dollars in stock and tools of the trade the tools being about of the value of $150, on this capital and means this Deponent commenced & continued in said business about a year that the stock in this time was all worked up and amounted as nearly as this deponent conceives & recollects to about $2350 in value, that this stock was sold at different times during the period aforesaid on Credit principally which was the cause of closing the bus- iness as money could not be obtained to purchase stock to go on with it, in making collections about fifty dollars of this sum was lost by depreciated bank paper - This deponent further states that this deponent retained out of said sum about One hundred dollars that during the year about five hundred dollars out of the funds arising from said coppersmiths business was appropriated and went to defray the expenses of said Charles Hagan family that this depon- ents clothing was also paid for out of the same funds to the value of sixty dollars This deponent further states that the expenses of the said Charles Family during the year

proceeding were about five hundred dollars and was an entire deduction of his capital to that amount he not being in any productive business during that time this deponent also states during the year succeeding said partnership broke up the expenses of said Charles family was about five hundred dollars and as he was in no business an entire deduction from his capital that the balance of the debt due Todd & Hawkins was sued for & judgment recovered for the balance due six hundred & eighty odd dollars forty having been previously paid this judgment has been finally paid off about $400 some time in 1821 and the balance subsequently by sale of the house & lot 196 of said Charles Hagan for $170 and by cash not long after said sale this deponent also states that said Charles lost about fifty dollars by being surety for one George M c Donald and having the debt to pay during the period above mentioned said sum being in specie this Deponent also states that the said Charles paid to sundry physicians in Charlestown during the three years above mentioned on account of sickness in his family about the sum of one hundred dollars this deponent further states that the certificate of said Charles when he removed from Kentucky to Indiana was almost all in notes & bonds on persons in Kentucky on credit of one, two, three, four & five years upon which an account of depreciation of currency & expenses of collecting there was a total loss of at least five hundred dollars this deponent states that at the end of said three years said Charles Hagan removed from Charlestown to the county of Jackson so much impoverished by the result of the loss from Smith's business & the general depreciation of property he rented lot no 196 in Charlestown for a bout twenty dollars per year the property was not tenanted all the time to the sale of purchase of said lot in 1825 by Todd & Hawkins but the amount of rents received for it did not exceed fifty dollars for the whole time, somewhere about half of that sum

was received by this deponent & retained by him on account of the profit which he conceived himself entitled to from the Coppermith business This deponent further states that soon after said Charles Hoagan removed to Jackson County he and almost all his family fell sick by which an expense of at least fifty dollars was incurred to Doct r Myler who was the Physician employed which has been settled and some time after this said Charles Hoagan broke his thigh by which an expense of twenty dollars to Doctor Newland the surgeon was incurred & has been settled, this deponent further states that said Charles expenses as well as this deponent can judge since his removal to this county of Jackson has been about & not less than one hundred dollars a year more than the means procured by his labour & that of his family, this Deponent further states that he has at all times been intimately acquainted with the situation and pecuniary concerns of said Charles Hoagan and as he believes has always understood them better than he did himself said Charles never to his knowledge and believe kept any book of Accounts or memorandum of his Affairs nor has this Deponent kept any Accounts or memorandum of said Charles Affairs that during the existence of said business this Deponent made now memorandum of work & labour done and for which notes were always taken as soon as they could be obtained if the Account was not settled up those memorandums are now in part lost so that this deponent is unable to give a detail but the general results not materially different from what has been above stated, in addition to what has been already stated. This deponent further saith that the said Charles is indebted to him & his brother Francis Hoagan in about the sum of fifty dollars for advances to enable him to support his family, And further this deponent saith that his said Charles Hoagans means are entirely exhausted and that he has nothing left of all his his former means except the small tract of upwards of fourteen

acres of land in this county & the property mentioned in his Original Declaration with the amendments thereto within the knowledge of this Deponent and further this deponent saith that Doctor Nyley above named is deceased, and further saith not.

John Hagen of said County and Son of Charles Hagen Senr. personally came before me a justice of the peace in and for said County and being duly sworn deposes and says, that the settlement alluded to in the statement & schedule of the said Charles Hagen lately forwarded to the Pension Office, took place Eight or Ten years since, that previous to that time, they the said Charles and Deponent had been in partnership in a tin & copper manufactory in Charlestown Indiana and finding the business unprofitable, in consequence of the circulating medium at time being principally depreciated Bank Paper, they dissolved and this deponent sold all his interest in the Establishment to the said Charles his Father, for One hundred dollars the said Charles was to receive all Debts and monies due the firm, and pay and discharge all Debts against the firm, - this was a verbal dissolution & settlement and is the same alluded to in said schedule - The $100, this deponent paid in about six months after the dissolution aforesaid, - he further states that the firm was embarrassed at the time, but whether the said Charles ever realized any thing after selling the said concern he cannot say but his impression is, he did not to any amount of consequence.
The Deponent further states that at the settlement & dissolution aforesaid, there was a note due the firm on Woods & Bacon of something less than $200, which went into the hands of the said Charles and afterwards the Deponent attempted to collect it for his Father & failed their property was sold and they left the neighborhood insolvent, which note has never as yet been collected, and I consider it good for nothing, Deponent supposes this to be the note alluded

to in the said Schedule, if it is not he knows of no other, Further saith not

Hagan his deponent further states that he was acquainted with the affairs of said Charles Hagan - being believes that his reduction to his present state of poverty & want was occasioned

by the unfortunate results of the 60 per- cent. business carried on by him his son said John C. Hogan & the reduction in value of real estate & not by any intention of the said Charles to bring himself within the provisions of the acts of Congress of the 18 th March 1818 & first of May 1820 this deponent is not aware of the particular situation of said Charles as to his property at this time but knows that he was very much reduced in his circumstances when he left this country in 1823 & has reason from information to believe that he since then has not improved in them. This deponent also states that said John C. Hogan appeared to this deponent to have managed principally the said Charles affairs & that he had the handling of his moneys & that he considers said Charles misfortunes to have resulted in a very considerable degree from the said John's want of care & judgment in his business.

Huff & Daniel T. Faulkner & the said services were rendered by the deponent also recollects some time in the year 1820. This deponent

8 further state, that he has known said Charles Hagan for several years since he has been resident in the State of Indiana, that he he has the most perfect confidence in his honesty & integrity, that he has had con- siderable knowledge of his affairs and only believes that his present situation entitles him to the provisions made by the acts Congress, of the 18 th March 1818 & 1 st May 1820 and that the said Charles Hagan has not disposed of any part of his prop- erty with intent to so do in order to to bring himself within the provisions of said acts, this deponent further states that he considers the failure in his pe- cuniary circumstances & loss of property said Charles has been owing to the fraternizing connection with his son John C. Hagan in the Coppermine business, together with the depreciation in the value of property, the said Charles being mistaken in his honest endeavors to procure a subsistence for himself & family by said business, it proving by mismanagement un- productive business. This deponent also

John W Thompson of the county of Clark and State of Indiana do hereby certify that, held on Charles & John Wagan a bond for a quit claim deed to lots numbers 284, 289 and 290 in Charlestown for which I assigned to P. Wagan a note or notes on certain Individuals in the county of Washington and State aforesaid for about fifty dollars the notes I considered of but little value if any, in consequence the probable insolvency of the obligors in said notes the lots I also considered of but little value in consequence of the doubt as to the title and their remote situation to the public square I know the individuals on whom the notes were and believe them unable to pay the notes and do firmly believe that P. Wagan has not realized any payments on the same and but that he has paid about two dollars costs in trying to collect the same which he has also lost the contract was made and the bond given on the 20 th day of June 1823 I believe the above lots were lost to W. Wagan an interest in consequence of the deficiency of title and his failing to recover the amount of said assigned notes the above is stated and sworn to from my knowledge of the facts in the above transaction:

We the undersigned, being citizens of the town of Charlestown in the County of Clark and State of Indiana, have been for a number of years, acquainted with Mr. Charles Wagan, of Jackson County in this state, but who formerly resided in this town, an old revolutionary soldier, who is about as we are informed, to prefer his petition to Congress to be placed on the list of revolutionary pensioners; and we, having also seen and read his petition to that effect, do hereby most cordially unite in recommending him to the particular notice of Congress as a man whose long continued and active services in the War of Independence, his age, pecuniary losses and misfortunes whereby he has been reduced to indigence and want; added to his present infirm and debilitated situation eminently entitle him to a claim upon the justice and liberality of his country.

Dear Sir, I have taken the liberty of enclosing to you the petition of old Mr Hagan A Soldier of the Revolution, he has already made several unsuccessful applications to the war Department, his papers have been repeatedly returned for amendment - They were finally put into the hands of Mr M. W. Nelson, by whose untimely Death they were lost - He has now no hope, but in Congress - , he lives - near me, and I can assure you I do not know a fitter object for the justice & liberality of Congress - The accompanying petition, (or recommendations) I believe was signed by every person to whom it was presented, I have no doubt but several thousand - signers could readily have been had - I am not informed whether it is usual to present petitions of this character in the suite of the U. S. if in your opinion it should more properly be presented in the house of Rep. I hope you will have the goodness to give the papers to Mr Jennings, & recommend the subject to his particular attention - I feel great solicitude for the old mans success, he certainly very much needs the aid of his country -
No particular news here, I understand the intention of discharging me, in relation to the United States Survey, has been abandoned - there is but little said about it at present - With much respect -
I am your very humble Servant

To the Honorable Senate & House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled -
The petition of the undersigned Charles Hagan of Jackson County & state of Indiana most respectfully represents, that he enlisted on the 18 th of February 1777, in Fairfax County state of Virginia for three years in the Company commanded by Capt Thomas Tristram 16 th Regiment Virginia line, Continental establishment, commanded by Col. Grayson - that he served three years all but two days & was then discharged at Fredericksburg, Virginia by Lieut James Winchester on the 16 th of February 1780, that he was in the Battles of Brandywine, Germantown, & Monmouth, & in many skirmishes and scouts - and was afterwards in the service as a substitute and was at the taking of Cornwallis at York, that in 1825 being then reduced to poverty, he applied for a pension agreeably to the laws of the United States, that he believes he complied with the requirements of the law as far as was in his power; that on the 17 th of August 1825 he appeared personally in Open court, it being the Circuit Court of Jackson County state of Indiana, being also a Court of record, and took the oath required by 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 approved 18 th of March 1818 - he also at the same time exhibited to the court a schedule of his property - amounting by valuation to one hundred & twenty nine dollars twelve & one half cents - all which together with his petition he sent to the War Department, his papers were returned, with instructions for him to inform the Department 1 st how much he was worth in 1818, 2 nd who he sold property to and how much he was to receive for it, & 3 rd what he has done with the money - and lastly to prove certificates of the sales of the property and expenditures of the money - Your petitioner informed the Department that in the year 1818 he sold his property in Nelson County state of Kentucky for $5000, dollars, part of which was on a credit of five years - that after paying his just debts in 1818, the whole of his property, including the bond for his property sold amounted to about the before mentioned sum of $5000 In relation to the disposition of the money he informed the Department, that the money was received in Kentucky currency which immediately depreciated so much that in changing it or in other words making it equal to gold or silver, he lost five hundred dollars -

having about that time engaged in the Coffeesmith business, he paid Hawkins & Goads $1600. for Coffees & 15 per cent on that sum for their trouble making $240, that he paid Baker $92.00 for 2 out lots in the town of Charleston, Indiana - That he paid Col-Neasey $1200. for a lot in said town with the hull of a house on it - that he paid Taylor, Duffie, & Albrechts $800.00 for work done in and upon said house, that he paid Simon Despard $100.00 for a certificate for 80 acres of land - That he paid Simon Despard $148.00 for 15 acres of land in Jackson County being the lot on which he now lives - for all of which certificates were obtained and forwarded to the department - He also informed the Department, that during the years of 1818, 19, & 20 he lived in the town of Charleston, that after the Coffeesmith shop was broke up, his family was without business - he had nothing to purchase for them, being unemployed he kept his children at school, during that time his family was much afflicted with sickness, Medical aid was very expensive his family being large (ten children) these expenses were great, not not up than $500.00 each year. These however were expenses of which no account was kept and for which no certificates could be furnished - In 1821 he moved with his family to Jackson County where he now lives, there being no improvement he had any money necessary for the support and comfort of his family to purchase for two years more during those 2 years his family expenses were perhaps not less than $200. each year for these also no account was kept, since that time he has been supported by his children, having got his thigh broke by a fall he is now a cripple unable to walk without crutches & infirm by age and misfortune he is unable to do any business - The Coffeesmith shop was chiefly worked up in the shop two bills were sold to a man by the names of Wood principal and interest amount to $200.00 before the money could be collected he ran away, the debt was lost - the 2 out lots were sold for $65.00 in trade to persons, names not recalled - The house and lot in Charleston purchased from Col Neasey after it was finished was sold by the sheriff, at public sale, at the suit of Hawkins & Goads for $170.00.

By the foregoing table it will appear that the expenses of your petitioner exceeded considerably more than the $ 6000.00 referred to, he accounts for this excess by stating that small sums may have been received from the sale of Coffer not collected - and also he is a brick maker & brick layer, to trade, and after the Coffer with shop was discontinued he made three kilns of brick part of which he sold - his papers were returned a third time for amendment but what he does not distinctly understand his papers were placed in the hands of his attorney Mr. Nelson for the purpose of amending them if possible to meet the requirements of the Department, shortly after which Mr. Nelson was unfortunately killed by a fall from his horse and your petitioner's papers were by that means lost. It is now out of his power to meet the requirements of the Department - by the loss of his papers he cannot now receive his application, with any prospect of success. It was not in his power to furnish certificates for a considerable portion of the money expended as above stated, he being entirely illiterate he could keep no accounts, nor did he at that time expect or believe that it would be necessary for him to apply to his government for relief. His age and misfortunes have now placed him in a very different situation, he is now 70 years of age and a cripple cannot walk without crutches, nor is he able to do any business to aid in his support, his property is gone as he conceives without any delinquency on his part, his wife is 51 years of age and of delicate health, his youngest child is between 4 and 7 years of age and needs support - It may not be improper to state that your petitioner was a prudent soldier that he never enlisted in any other state than Virginia that at the taking of Cornwallis he was only a substitute for a Militia man who had been drafted for four months - your petitioner now refers his case to the justice & liberality of Congress, he cannot suppose that that enlightened body can intend to make provision for a part only of her Revolutionary soldiers and so forth any of them to longer out their

few remaining days in Indigence & want your petitioner therefore most humbly prays Congress to take his Case into Consideration and place him on the list of Revolutionary Pensioners, to commence at such time as they in their wisdom may seem to have been entitled to the same.
