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 
Barnard, then residing in Frederick County in the state of Maryland was enlisted 
by William Beatty, a commissioned officer in that part of the country in the 
troops in the sercvice of the United States then denominated the Flying Camp.  
The captain's name under whom I served was Philip Marony, the first Lieutenant 
was Elisha Bell.  Under them we marched from Frederick to Philadelphia under the 
command of General Bell our Col. was as well as I recollect was Henry Griffith 
and the Lt.  Col was 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 the York Island during which time we had several severe
skirmishes one of which in the Buckwheat patch where we were successful.  From the island we marched after the main army which had preceded us and joined them 
at the White Plains where we expected to have had a general engagement from 
hence we marched to Fishkill and crossed the North River & came thro the Jersey 
state. At the White Plains we had several skirmishes, and continued with the 
army untill our term of six months expired and we were then marched to 
Philadelphia and discharged, which 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 L 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 
the county of Ohio where he has resided ever since.
