Sir
In pursuance of your circular of the 28th of May
last, I herewith forward you a declaration of my services
as a private soldier in the New Hampshire line, during the
war of the Revolution, with the accompaning evidence
of the papers sent are satisfactory to your department
I presume I am entitled by the law of Congress
approved May 15, 1828. to two years pay as a private viz
from 3d March 1826 to 4th of March 1828, in which case I
wish you to transmit by mail, the amount due me
directed to the case of Robert C. Vose Esq Clerk of the
County August Maine. I resided at the time
I enlisted into the army of the revolution at New Andover
in the State of New Hampshire, and have since that
period resided in Vermont and Maine, in the latter
place I have lived with my family in remote town
in Maine for the last five years I have never been
on the Pension list of the United States while I resided in
Vermont in the year 1819 I made application for
pension,
but for some reason unknown to me, my
claim was not admitted. If any further evidence

of my services is required, it can no doubt be found
on the records
of the Revolutionary army of the New
Hampshire line, now in the war office

I am very respectfully
