Moses 'Bardean' applied for a Revolutionary War Pension in 1833 and when approved, the money was sent to Abraham Maxfield the Post Master in Italy, Yates Co., NY. Pensioners were required to appear before a government agent to collect their pension. In cases where the distance was too great, an agent was engaged to appear in their stead. Ezra Chapin, Judge of Steuben Court of Common Pleas, certified Moses was living in Prattsburgh.
Final voucher for his pension listed his date of death as Nov. 10, 1843 in the State of New York. Document reported final monies were paid in 1844 by the Agency listed as Albany, New York - probably the state government coffers at the NY State Capital. Final voucher did not list his residence nor the county of death.
