MILITARY: Revolutionary War Pension Application Abstract, John 
PLATT, Cambria Co., PA


"State of Pennsylvania, County of Cambria, Ss:
Be it known that on this First day of July 1844 before me James 
Kennedy, a Justice of the peace in and for the County aforesaid, 
personally appeared John Storm of lawful age, and a person of 
known credibility, who being first duly sworn in due form of 
law, on his oath says and deposes that he is well acquainted 
with John Platt a resident of said County of Cambria, the above 
named applicant for a United States Pension. That from the age 
of this affiant, which is now forty eight years, he believes the 
applicant John Platt is or may be of ninety or more years, at 
all event J. Platt must be a very old man. That as far back as 
twenty five years, at least, he heard said John Platt and his 
Grandfather Ludwig (Lewis) Wysong, since dec'd. conversing of 
their services as soldiers in the War of the revolution. This 
affiant distinctly recollects to have heard the said John Platt 
and the said Ludwig Wysong his (Storm's) grandfather converse 
together on the subject of their respective services in the 
Army of the Revolution, and he heard both of them recount their 
services, as such, separately from each other. The said John 
Platt and the grandfather of this affiant were distant cousins. 
Jn Platt's first wife, having been a half sister of sd. Ludwig 
Wysong. Affiant states further on his oath, that as far back as 
his recollection reaches, it is the general belief of the county 
that the said John Platt was a soldier in the revolution, and 
served as he states, and in this belief he fully concurs.

Subscribed and sworn to this First day of July 1844 before me,
