Pension Office,
November 5th 1865

Sir,
The papers in the case of Hannah Fogg, widow of Samuel Fogg, under the Act of 7th July, 1838, have been examined and filed.
This claim is founded upon the Certificate of the Secretary of State of New Hampshire, which shows that Samuel Fogg served a total of nine months in Capt Worthan Company, Col. Peabody;
A Regiment; but as this certificate was in possession of claimant, at the time of executing her declaration, before she can derive any benefit from the evidence contained there, she will be required to show the age of her husband at the date of his enlistment, that Capt. Worth Commanded men
B from Effing, and that her husband was gthe only person being the name of Samuel Fogg, from that, town.   
C None of the Witnesses who have testified were in Capt. Worthan's Company, and their testimony, therefore, is not deemed sufficient to identify Claimant's husband as the individual who performed that service.   The date of the marriage is not as satisfactory as it should be.  The testimony on file does not shew that it took place prior to January 1794, nor do the Witnesses show how they are enabled
Page 12

to remember to this late period the dagte of its Consummation.
I am, Very respectfully
Your Obt Servt.
J. L. Edwards

A - Whatever the date of the certificate was from the Secretary, I can say that the widow never saw it nor was it ever taken from his office until after her declaration.

B -  There was I find a man by the name of Samuel Fogg who was in the Revolutionary War from the town of Raymond and living close on the edge of Epping.  He was a Drummer, moved to Cornville, Maine, drew a pension under the law of 1832 & died there a few years ago.

C - I believer there is not a man living who was in Worthens Company; if the Department will inform of one I will get his testimony if in New England.

Dear Sir, 
Herewith you have 14 declarations of widows for Pensions, one of whom Margaret Glines is a new case married in 1799.  I was acquainted with Mr. Glines and paid him his last pension March 1835.
The widow is reputable and there is no doubt as to her claim.  The wife of Joshua Paine was at the marriage but was a number of miles distant when he gave his affidavit.

At the time he enlisted he lived with his father in said Epping and from the best information of the period of his service I should say it was about nine months.

Hon. James L. Edwards
Com of Pensions

Dear Sir, Herewith you have the required testimony to complete the case of the Widow Hannah Fogg.  In order to explain more satisfactory I inform you that the Widow named her case to me nearly three years ago, and stated that her husband attempted to procure a pension long before he died.  Shortly after I applied to the Secretary of State and found nine months & four days service about as she said; here I was rather confounded, could not account for his not getting a pension under the law of 1818; and as the evidence required in the case was so distant, and not knowing that the widow would be retained as pensioner, I concluded to do nothing further until I found recently that the law of 1818 was confined to the Continental line.
I thought it would not be displeasing to return your letter made on the examination of the other papers on which I have made three remarks.
With high respect I am Sin your Obt. Servant

I knew well three of their Oldest Children, one Lydia & Ebenezer & Margaret, who now lives near me the wife of Jonathan Cram.  The oldest married with Noah Worster of Thornton & is living I think must be sixty years of age.  Ebenezer I think was two years younger.  I married with the Daughter of Ephraim Cram a Pensioner, & well recollect one time over twenty years ago of Mr. Cram's informing me about his going to see Esq. Simpson of New Hampton to get on the Pension list & of Samuel Foggs going with him on the same business, and said that Mr. Fogg could not get on as the law now was illegible to that effect

I Calvin Fogg of Town of New Hampton County of Belknap and State of New Hampshire aged thirty six years testify and say that I am a Grandson of Phineas Fogg & son of Newal Fogg that my Grandmother lived with my father at the time of her death August 18 - 1835 and had resided in the same house for over forty years.  I have frequently heard her name about my Uncle Samuel Fogg being in the Revolution War as she would often be speaking on things that occurred during that period at Eppington.  My Grandmother was ninety years old & nine days when she died.  As long ago as I can recollect I have seen the record in my Grandfather's Bible of the birth of him & Grandmother and their ten Children which bible is now before me.
