Your letter of 10. April last, informing that Ezekiel Beebe: papers in support of his restoration to the Pension roll, are found insufficient is received. I now read copies of Sheriff Army + deed to Hodges + porter by which you will see Statement his land being the principal part of his property, has given to pay his debts now listed in his schedule of 6 June 1820- also his supplementary declaration of 11 June 1821, there in dispositions of his whole property.
           Beebe is one of the persons in whose behalf I acted as the Secretary of War last winter. He's case is one of particularly hard life. I trust you will have no difficulty in rescuing him from his besmirch.

Sir,
You will receive enclosed an original application of Ezekiel Beebe for a pension.  He made the declaration as you will see about a year ago & it has lain inadvertently in the Clerk's office until this time.

A portion of his service was omitted to be stated in his declaration through mistake.  Should you not find his service on the rolls as stated please to search for the following services, to wit he enlisted into Capt Pope Co. Col Shepard's Regt. of Mass. in January 1780 served in said Regt. until the spring of 1783, when he was discharged at the {x} Highland N.Y.  He served through the whole war & is very poor.

Ezekiel Beebe, Affidavit + declaration
Page 50

I Ezekiel Beebe of Rutland, in the County of Rutland, in the state of Vermont and citizen of the state of , Vermont pensioner of the United States of North America, do voluntarily testify and say that I verily believe that I was born in New London  in the state of Connecticut + have resided within these United States, except when under the command of my country of my country.  I have borne arms in Canada; that in October before the battle at Lexington, in Massachusetts, I was a minute man, in Ludlow in the county of Hampshire, in Massachusetts, where I then lived, On the next day after this battle, I left my father's house + was marched under Capt. Langon and Col. Timothy Danielson to Cambridge + thence to Roxbury, in Massachusetts. Here I tarried until the twenty fifth day of December, in the year, when I enlisted for one year under Capt. Enoch Chapin, Luke Day, first Lieut. Samuel Day, second Lieut. and Jaber Snow Ensign, under  Col.Porter of old Hadley, Massachusetts. Under these officers I went to Canada to the Three Rivers. Our troops were then on' Our troops were then on the retreat. We all retreated to the mouth of the Sorrier. Thence we marched to Montreal and thence to Le Chien, as volunteers to reinforce Genl. Ethan Allen, who had however then become a prisoner, thence we went to Montreal, La Prairie + to St. John's+ thence to Mount Independence in Vermont. We were here perhaps four months, thence to Albany + down the Hudson to Kingsferry,thence  to the Jersey Shore + to Morristown. On the twenty sixth day of December,1776, the Hessians at Princeton, surrendered to us. On the first of January,1777, my term of enlistment having expired, I volunteered for six weeks. At Springfield, in New Jersey sixty Hessian + thirty refuges light horse, came out to plunder the country a volunteering in the six weeks service, I was with a small party who killed most of the horse +took or killed every man of the Hessians. When the British were attempting to leave Elizabethtown, New Jersey, I was with a party as a volunteer under Leonard   Cbapin,who attacked their rear guard, captured them and the baggage of the British army. When I had served the time for which I had volunteered, i took a page from Major Jotham Loring + went home. In April after I enlisted under Capt. Robert Oliver, John Grattan of Boston Col. of third Massachusetts in General Nixon's brigade, under the Continental  Congress, here I served truly
Page 51

and faithfully three years and was in January,1780, honorably discharged without any impeachment for cowardice from the day of my birth until now. Further concerning the actions, in which I was in the revolutionary war, at Harts' mills about seven miles from Fort Edward, in New York, Burgoyne, coming upon us, fifty of us were ordered out to attach the British + Indians about five hundred as was after said, we returned unhurt only eighteen men, the residue were killed or wounded. At Bemus heights under Porter and Arnold before taking of Burgoyne, I discharge my piece sixty times in one day (next sentence is blacked out). After the peace of 1783, as did numbers of the soldiers of the revolutionary war, poor and with feeble means I moved to the then wilderness of Vermont here have attempted support myself and a large family by cultivating a few acres of land. But varied with continued + almost perpetual disease in my family, instead of accumulating estate, I am unable with my utmost industry to pay my just debts. Three of my ten children have died from disease + my wife for eight years had been almost constantly under the care of physicians. Age + long+ hard service have at last battered my once firm + hardy body, and I am now constrained to look for merciful retribution to my country, who had the vigor of my youth. I believe that even now, if I had money, , I could prove this my statement, which I affirm to be true upon the honor of a soldier, and upon the oath of God, who has delivered and who supports my country.
