I certify that for many years, I was well acquainted with John Lawrence Hartwick a revolutionary soldier residing in New Lisbon Astoria County, where I was born. He was commonly called "John Astorick" - But I believe his name was un  correctly written Lawrence Hartwick, instead of Astorick, - That there was no other man of that name, or anything of a kindred name residing in said Town - That he drew a pension of $96 a per annum under the act of 1818, & died in 1831 or 1832 leaving a widow the same person now applying for a pension  benefits And that there is no other person of her name, Martha Astorick, residing in said Town of New Lisbon, & she is the widow of the identical John Lawrence Hartwick - Dated Augt. 15 1855,

S. Hale Esq
drafter. same There resided a few years ago a Man of the name of Arturick or Harturick - - in New Lisbon, Otsego Co, N.Y.
He drew a pension I knew him well, He was called John Arturick - But he spelled his name Harturick I think, & had also a middle name, Lawrence as I should think - a foreigner -
I want to learn under what name he applied for, & obtained his pension - There is no similar name on the Pension list from Otsego County, or the State of New York - as I am informed
I think you can easily find his name and inform me, How it was Entered on the Pension roll - & the amount of Pension -
Yours Very Truly
