Application For Certificate of Revolutionary Services By The Widow

State of Massachusetts

County of Middlesex

City of Lowell

The Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is hereby requested to furnish evidence from the Rolls in his office, of the service of my late husband, Theophilus Fry.

He enlisted about the year 1776 from the town of Andover in the County of Essex and State of Massachusetts in the Company of Capt. Young, of Danvers of the Regiment unknown and served near Boston at a place called Nantasket for about six months.

We were married in the year seventeen hundred and seventy six. He died in the year eighteen hundred and thirty three.

The only other facts which I recollect are as follows, viz: The name of the Lieutenant of the Company in which said Frye served was Joshua Lovejoy, of Andover, Essex Co. - the Capts. name is supposed to be one Young of Danvers  - the exact time of the enlistment or of the time he served is unknown.

Be it known that on this fifth day of November 1845, personally came before me the Subscriber, one of the Justices of the Peace within and for said County of Essex, duly authorized to administer oaths, James Frye a resident of Andover in the County and Commonwealth aforesaid, aged fifty three years, who being first duly cautioned & sworn, does on oath make the following supplementary Declaration in order to obtain for himself and the other children of Lucy Frye, deceased, the pension due her under the law of July 4, 1836, to wit,

That he is the son of Lucy Frye deceased, who was the Widow of Theophilus Frye, who was a Private and Sergeant in the War of the Revolution, and served, as follows, viz., as Private at Cambridge and Charlestown a period of eight months in the year 1775, also as a Sergeant in the Company of Capt. Samuel King in Col. Whitney's Regiment from June 2d to December 3d 1776 a period of six months and one day at Nantasket.

He further declares that for the term of service first above named his said mother was placed on the pension Roll under the Act of July 7th 1838 at $26.67 per annum, but as she was then unable to prove the Nantasket Service, it was not taken into account in the computation of her pension, and this service being after her marriage, her inability to prove the same debarred her from obtaining a pension under the Law first named.

The applicant believes this term of service was in his mother's original application, but cannot now
Page 14

state to what extent. He therefore now claims under the law of July 4th 1836, which was due his said mother, deducting whatever may have been paid during her lifetime. 

He further declares that she was married to the said Theophilus Frye on our about the eleventh day of April 1776, that her husband the aforesaid Theophilus Frye died on the second day of April 1830, and that she remained a widow even after, & untill the day of her death -- all which will more fully appear, reference being had to the proofs hereto annexed, and also to her original declaration on file in the war Department & the proof thereto annexed.

Sworn to and subscribed on the day and year first above written before me; and I further certify, that James Frye the applicant above named is well known to me and is a man of good character for truth & veracity.

J.L. Edwards, Esqr. Comr of Pensions
Sir,
In behalf of son of the late Lucy Frye, deceased. I make the following statement of facts respecting her pension. Lucy Frye was the wife of Theophilus Frye, late of Andover County of Essex, Mass.  Mr. Frye died in 1833, without applying for a pension. He served two campaigns in the Revolutionary war first at or near Cambridge Eight months and again, after his marriage, in 1775 at or near Nantucket near Boston six months. Mr. Frye died without applying for a pension. When his widow applied, she was unable to obtain any proof of this last term of Service, as no Rolls would be found at that time, bearing the name of Theophilus Frye, for services in his last Campaign at Nantucket. Since her death in April last, our Secretary of State has found on the Military Rolls the name of Theophilus Frye of Andover on the payroll of of Capt. [Samuel] King, Col. Whitney, from June 2 to Dec. 3, 1776, and there is no doubt he served six months after his marriage to this woman, and for this six months service he was not allowed any pension. she had a pension about $25.00 for the first service at Cambridge (See over)
Page 37


I would enquire whether the children of Lucy
Frye can be entitled to the arrears of pension for this [illegible]
or mistake for want of proof of service. If they
are entitled to any thing in right of their mother. I hope
you will inform me how we shall proceed to obtain
it. The first service was rendered by Mr. Frye before his
marriage, but the last service was subsequent to
their marriage, as can be made to appear
Be pleased to give me a reply and oblige your very respectfully-
