Declarations in Order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7, 1832
#8232;State of Kentucky, County of Ohio, Seat
#8232;On this 3rd day of September 1832, personally appears in open Court before James M. Rogers, Henry Stevens, Jonathan Rogers, and Samuel Paxton the Justices composing the Ohio County Court now sitting William L. Barnard a resident of said County and State aged 73 years who being first duly sworn according to Law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832, That he entered the Service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated.

It was in the month of June 1776 to the best of my knowledge that I, William L. Barnard, then residing in Frederick County in the State of Maryland, was enlisted by William Beatty, a communications officer in that part of the Country in the troops in the Service of the United States then denominated the Flying Camp. The Captains name under whom I served was Philip Maroney; the 1st Lieutenant was Elisha Bell. Under them we marched from Frederick to Philadelphia under the Command of General Bell. Our foe was as well as I recollect was Griffith and the Lieutenant Colonel by the name of Shyrock or Shryock. From Philadelphia we went to Trenton and from thence to New York where we joined the main army. We remained sometime on York Island during which time we had several severe skirmishes one of which in the Buck wheat patch where we were successful. From the Island we marched after the main army which had preceded us and joined them at White Plains where we expected to have had a general engagement. From hence, we marched to Fishkill and crossed the North River. I came through the Jersey State at the White Plains. We had several skirmishes, and continued with the Army until our term of six months expired and we were then marched to Philadelphia and discharged. The discharge is long since lost and the said applicant hereby states he believes he can prove his services by James Tannehill who served with him in the same company. He, the said William Logan Barnard, hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity, except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state. Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid. The said applicant is 73 years of age. He removed from the state of Maryland in the year 1797 or 1798 to Ohio County, Kentucky where he has resided ever since.
