MOSES STEVENS
R. 10136

Mr. Frank H. Craig
Waits River

Dear Sir:

You are furnished below the record of Moses Stevens as found in
pension claim, R. 10136, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
.
Moses Stevens was born April 26, 1756, in Rockingham County, New
Hampshire. The names of his parents were not given.
While residing in Washington County, Ohio, Moses Stevens applied
for pension August 22, 1834, and alleged that while living in Rockingham
County, New Hampshire, he volunteered in April, 1775, to go to
the battle of Lexington and that he served one month in Captain Josiah
Batchellor's New Hampshire company, stationed at Cambridge; that he
enlisted the latter part of October, 1775, and that he served six months
as a private in Captain Williams' New Hampshire company, stationed at
Portsmouth.
His claim for pension was not allowed as he failed to furnish
proof of six months' service in accordance with the requirements of the
pension law.
No family data are shown in the claim.

Very truly yours

Dear Sir:

further reference is made to your letters of recent date, in which
you requested the Revolutionary War records of Moses Stevens, son of Moses,
both of Plaistow, New Hampshire, who was born between 1720 and 1728, and
married Prudence Chase, born in Newbury, Hampshire, about 1727-8, and
was the daughter of Abraham Chase and Ruth Morse, also the records of
John Fellows, Senior, born in 1720 in New Hampshire, and John Fellows,
Junior, born at Salisbury, New Hampshire, in 1764, enlisted in the
Revolution from that town, and who married Prudence Stevens in 1787.
No claim for pension or bounty land has been found based upon service
in the Revolution of a John Fellows born in 1720, and none for a Moses
Stevens identical with your description; however, a record was found
of one Moses Stevens, only, of New Hampshire, which is furnished you
herewith. The record of John Fellows who married Prudence Stevens was
furnished you January 9, 1933, and contains no further information than
that which was incorporated in that report.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER
