      - Humbley shows George Maginnis, of Amherst Island in the Midland District, Lennox Addington Co., in the said Province, that this father TIMOTHY MAGINNIS served in his Majestry as a Captain under William Johnson & was killed fighting for his King & country in the Battle at Bloody Pond in the year 1755; that your petitioner's brother also lost his life in the service of his King being burned to death by the Indians. - That your Petitioner was taken & abused by the Rebels in the beginning of the American war, but escaping from them, joined the Royal standard at Niagara in 1776, & received a commission soon after which he was in the Battle of Orisco, near Fort Stanwix [Rome, NY], - & afterwards, at the Battle of Wyoming [Pennsylvania], in two skirmishes with the Americans army under General Sullivan, at Stone Arabia [Schoharie, NY] he received a most grievous wound, under which he languished 12 days in the woods, subsisting upon nuts & was then carried by friendly Indians 21 days on poles, to Niagara where he at length recovered, so as to the service his Majesty through the war.

      - That, besides his personal sufferings, he suffered the loss of a large patrimonial estate in the Province, now Sate of New York, by confiscation. - that he has still continued faithful to his allegiance, & inoculated the same fidelity upon his children, of whom he as three sons of an age to serve in the present war; but neither he nor they have been commissioned in the the service:

      - Wherefore he prays that the sufferings & merits of himself & his family may be considered, & he or his sons honored with a commission to serve his King & country still further in an honorable grade & their lives shall express their gratitude for such an honor.
