I have the honor to return herewith Mr. Bedel's letter of 7th inst, in answer to the enquirey respecting the case of Aaron Parks,
deceased, to state that any arrears that would otherwise have been payable to his widow, under the 2d Section of the Act of 4th July 1836, is
still payable to her, notwithstanding she has been a second time married.
Aaron Parks, in his declaration alleged that he entered the service in the Massachusetts Line in June 1775, for eight months, and about the time his enlistment expired, he again enlisted for twelve months, in a Company in Col. Bonds Regiment.
In answer to the enclosed letter of Mr. Bedel, in relation to the case of Peter Howe, I have to state that it appears from his declaration that he entered the service in May 1775, and served about eighteen months, and was discharged on 31st December 1776. There is no evidence
with his papers to show that he was in service after this date. His widow, to whom Mr. Bedel states he was married in 1778, and who
died on the 11th February 1838, acquired no right to a pension either under the act of 4th July 1836 or 7th July 1888. Hows service in 1776
was rendered under Capt Hull of Col Starks Regiment.

Be it known that before me Henry Hodgden
a Notary Public in and for said County duly
authorized by law to administer oaths personally appeared Lucinda Parks and made oath in due form of law that in addition to the former declaration that she made on her application to obtain a Bounty Land Warrant for the Military services of her late husband Aaron Park, She makes the following statement at the request of the Hon Commissioner of Pension as per Statement "But by refering to the papers on which a pension was allowed to her husband under the act of 1818 it appears that the
letter from this office to him under date of July 21 1820 filed by her as widow that his name had been stricken from the Pension List, does not represent the true condition of the case & is calculated to mislead the mind There was a subsequent action on the Claim & if the present claimant be in truth the widow of Aaron Parks the pensioner she can explain what that action was; This explanation is required"
What may have taken place in regard to the application of her late husband before affiant was married to him She has no means of knowing, but she states that she always
Page 48

understood from him that his name was stricken
from the rolls of pensioners under the act 1818
and that he was restored under the act of June
7th 1832 and that authorized the pension to commence March the 4th 1831 and that the arrears of pension was by her received due him at the time of his decease was by her received after his death and after her marriage to Robert
Kennedy, Any "subsequent action on the claim"

Dear Sir:
As I am endeavoring to fill out papers to join
the society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, I am in need of the military record of Aaron Parks, who Marched to Concord April 19th 1775 and was in Battle of Bunker Hill. Did he have any other rank beside minute man, and when discharged, or any other record which you may have?
On May 22, 1922, I received the address from the
pension department of John Douglass, for which I thank you. He will visit his daughter this
 summer whom he has not seen for thirty-five years.
very truly yours,

Dear Mrs. ___________:

I regret that I failed to get your name when you were so kind to me on my visit to your office last fall.
Having seen the conditions under which you work, I hesitate to ask you for any more help;
but I do very much want to get an abstract of the
Revolutionary pension application of Aaron Parks, or of his widow. I am told that the number is 9590. This Aaron Parks saw service in Masschusetts, and later moved to Charlestown, New Hampshire.
Please take your own time in getting this information, and know that I shall be much more
grateful for it than I would have been without my acquaintance with the difficulty involved in getting at these old records.
Sincerely yours,
