On the 27th day of February, 1822, personally appeared in open court, in the Court of Common Pleas, in and for the county of Onondaga, being a court of record proceeding according to the course of common law, with a jurisdiction
unlimited in point of amount, and keeping a record of their proceedings, Robert Pain, aged 73 years, resident in Camillus, in said county, who, being first duly sworn, accordingto law, doth on his oath declare that he served in the revolutionary war as follow^ : That he enlisted into the service of the United States in the year 1780, and in July of said year, at West Point, in New York, he joined a company commanded by Capt. Pratt, in the Fourth Massachusetts regiment, and continued in the service until the month of July, 1783, when he was discharged at West Point; that he has lost his discharge. Enlistment was for three years, and 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 provision 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, contract, or debts, due to me; nor have I any income other than what is contained in the schedule annexed, and by me subscribed.
Schedule of property :-
Besides clothing, which is barely sufficient, I
have but a knife which cost. ............. 12 1/2 cents
And a cane worth perhaps. ................. 12 1/2 cents
------------
25 cents
That he now lives with his son, John L. Pain, in the town of Camillus, upon whom he is wholly dependent for support. He has no family ; has lost the sight of one eye entirely, and nearly blind of the other--and without charity of a public or private nature is totally unable to support himself. That on the 23d of April, 1818, he made an application for a pension to William Rogers, a judge of Ontario county, which has been sent to and returned from the War office.
