Sir
at the request of the widow Hannah Abbot I herewith send you her papers in support of her claim to a pension for your examination and decision. you will perceive that there is a record of her marriage probably in consequence of the negligence of the minister who married them. There  is no Parrish or Family record to be found she says there was once a family record in her Bible which is worn out and the record lost and she knows of no person living who was present at her marriage. I have not the least doubt but she was married as she states - She appears like an honest pious old lady but poor and in verry[very] feeble health. I hope her ease is made out satisfactorily - please communicate to me the result as soon as consistant[consistent]

Jerh Abbot of Concord was Lieutenant and Hagen Osgood of Concord was [illegible] I also was then of said Concord in New Hampshire I am not positive who was the Co Comd who commanded the Regt. to which I was attached but believe it was Col.

Sullivan retired from Rhode Island and heard the Cannon [illegible] when returning home - Nathaniel C. Abbot then of Concord [illegible] served with me in one of my expedition to Rhoders Cmd. I was well acquainted with him from a boy and I know that Hannah Abbot who is an applicant for a pension was his wife & is now his Widow and resides in Warren Grafton County in said State of N.H.  - I was called on last fall to give my testimony in regard to said Nathl. C.

Kimball and his Company tarried over night at May Enoch Pages in said Wentworth where I was then living. Nathaniel Chandler Abbot was a Soldier in said Kimball Company and then belonged to said Concord. I was acquainted with said Abbot from his boyhood. And I know that the Widow Hannah Abbot who is an applicant for a Pension is his Widow - said Capt. Kimball and said Abbot called again at the said Pages on their return from the Town of service on the Frontiers above described and I learned that they served on that expedition about three months and I believe they were gone about that time. The object of the expedition I understood to be to guard the Crops in the  upper country as it was then called and I do not know as they were attached to any Regt. but were employed as a scouting party in that vicinity. As I had been a Soldier I had considerable conversations with them and I recollect I showed the said Capt. Kimball. I have no doubt but the said abbot did serve about three months in said Expedition under Capt. Kimball as I saw him with his company

When going and saw him with his Capt. on their return. and I know it was near the close of the War & I think it was in 1780 I further testify that said Abbot was sometimes called Nathl Abbot & sometimes Chandler Abbot but I believe his name was Nathl Chandler Abbot.
