Pension Declaration 

William Bush
Old War Invalid File 8122
Not Rev.
N.W. Indian War 1791
Ky Agency

State of Kentucky County of Hardin Pct

On this 1st day of September 1830 before me subscriber a Justice of the peace 
for the said County of Hardin 
personally appeared William Bush who on his oath declares that he is the same 
person who formerly belonged to the Company 
Commanded by Captain John Thomas an Major Patrick Browns Battallion of 
Kentucky Militia and the Regiment Commanded by 
Colonel Oldham in the service of the United States on the rebellion Commanded 
by Major Jenl St Clair against the Miami Indias - 
And that while in actual service of said expedition he was wounded by the 
Indians On the 17th day of October 1791- That a certificate 
was granted him by James M Henry secretary of War bearing date the 18th day of 
March 1800  whereby he was placed on the Roll of Invalid pensioners, 
And that his pension has ever since been payable in Philadelphia in the State 
of Pennsylvania  But that he has resided in the State of Kentucky 
ever since the date of his certificate & now resides in said State where he 
intends to remain & wishes his pension there payable in future for the 
following reason - 
He is now old, from age & infirmities & the disability occurred by this wound 
he is not as able to travel about as formerly.  That he draws his money 
fromthe pension agent in Philadelphia requires considerable formality And a 
special agent the expences of which curtails the amount of his 
pension much more than if drawn in Kentucky
