Before me the subscriber sole and presiding Judge of the Superior Court of law for the said County of Hampshire in the state aforesaid on this 28th day of October in the year 1818 personally appeared Joseph Boxwell aged about sixty five years resident in the said County State and District who being by me first duly sworn according to law doth on oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the late Act of Congress, entitled "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war" That sometime in the spring of the year 1781 he enlisted as a private soldier to serve for eighteen months in the Virginia line on continental establishment in Winchester in the County of Frederick and state aforesaid. That shortly after his said enlistment he was attached to a Company Commanded by Captain Kirkpatrick, and belonging as he believes to the seventh Virginia Regiment on continental establishment, but there were about that time so many changes in the organization of the Army, and the commanders of different detachments, That he can not speak with certainty with respect to the number of the regiment which he first joined or the officer who then commanded it. That he was in the said Corps. or in the service of the United States until sometime after the expiration of the said eighteen months When he was discharged from service at Cumberland Old Courthouse in Virginia aforesaid. That he was at the siege of York and in several Skirmishes to the Southward That he is in reduced Circumstances and stands in need of his countrys aid for a support that he has now no other evidence of his said services in his possession

Hon. Wm. Lochren, 
Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D. C.

Dear Sir:-

After writing a letter to you yesterday, which, of course, I did not expect you to read yourself, I have decided to address you personally, although I feel that I am imposing on you.

I inclose (sic) a letter to myself from W. H. Grant, Registrar and Historian of the Illin. Society, S.A.R., hoping it may excuse me in part.

The record of our grandfather, Thm. Neel, for which I am indebted to you, makes me eligible, and myself and seven sons are already members, but, my name being Boxell, as a matter of family pride, I am very anxious to have the Revolutionary record of the Boxells or "Boxwells", in time for our first Year Book. (over)
Page 15

Under Maryland, Alleghany Co., page 26, (middle paging) Vol. 2, Senate Documents Pension Roll, printed 1835, I find Robert Boxwell, Virginia line, and Joseph Boxwell Maryland line.  They did not move to Alleghany Co., Maryland, until more than thirty years after the close of the Revolutionary war.  They were surely both together all through the war, and both in the Virginia Continental line, They were a part of the time under Gen. Wayne, and in Georgia; I suppose in '82, after the battle of Yorktown.  "Bob" was but 16 when he enlisted to go with his older brother "Joe", which does not agree with his age as given in Pen. Doc. Roll, and Joseph is said to have been "transferred from Virginia July 27, 1838".  the book was printed in 1835.  My name is spelled "Boxwell." and my age wrong in "Minn. in the Civil War."  If the records in your office do not correct these mistakes, of course, there is no help for it.  I do not expect you to make the search, but, I do most earnestly ask you to have it made immediately for the reasons given.

Very respectfully,

MINNESOTA SOCIETY OF THE SON'S OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

Dear Mr. Boxell.

In looking over the Pension Roll today I found the names of your ancestors Robert Boxell & Joseph Boxell.  The name is there spelled Boxwell, but there can be no doubt the name is the same - Robert was a private in the Va Line age in 1835 - 64.

Joseph was a private in the Maryland Line age 81.

Both were in Allegany Co. Md.

Now if you will write Commission Lochran at once, you may possibly be able to get their records in time for the year book.  Make your letter personal to him and ask to have it answered immediately & he will do so & I will hold your record open to the last possible moment
Page 18

in order that you and your seven sons may have the benefit of this additional record.  Do not delay but write at once and spell the name "Boxwell"

If you desire to see the pension roll you will find it in the Testimonial Library, Maryland page 26. middle paging.

Truly yours
W. H. Grant

Virginia,
Morgan County (?)
On this fifth day of September 1825
personally appeared in open Court being a Court 
of record for the County of Morgan. Joseph Boxwell,
resident in said county, aged seventy two years
who being first duly sworn according to Law
doth on his oath make the following declarations
in order to obtain the provision made by the acts of
Congress of the 18th March, 1818, and the 1st May, 1820,
that he, the said Joseph Boxwell enlisted for the
term of eighteen months on the  (blank) day of (blank) in
the year (blank) in the State of Virginia in the 
company commanded by Captain Williams in 
the regiment commanded by Colonel Posey, in
the line of the state of Virginia, on the continental
establishment: that he continued to serve in the
said Corps for eighteen months when he was
discharged from the said service at the 
Cumberland Barracks in the state of Virginia
Page 37

that his name has been placed on the pension list and dropped [sic] therefrom on account of his property. 
And in pursuance of the act of the 1st May 1820, I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 
18th day of March 1818: and that I have not since this time, by gift, sale, or in any other manner, disposed of my property, or any part thereof, with intent thereby, so to diminish it, as to bring myself within the provisions of the act of Congress, entitled, "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the Land and Naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary
War." passed on the 18th day of March 1818: and that I have not, nor had any person in trust for me, any property, or securities, contracts, or duty due to me, or have any income other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed
and by me subscribed.  That since the Exhibition
Page 38

of my first Schedule, the following changes
have been made in my property, all have
been taken from me for the payment of debts or
worn out, my best mare then valued at eighty
dollars has died. I now have a cow, a mare fourteen
years old which is all the property I have left
except the clothing of myself and family and
our beds and bedding.  the first schedule of my
property I can not obtain in consequence of my
infirm situation. I have now an aged wife and
four children dependent upon their exertions
and my own for a support.  I stand indebted to others
for more than two hundred dollars which I am unable 
to pay, as the accompanying accounts and affidavit
will show.
Sworn to and declared on the 5th day of September
1825 before the county Court of Morgan County. 
I Cromwell Quick of the County 
Court of Morgan do hereby certify, that it appears
Page 39

to the satisfaction of the court that the said Joseph Boxwell did serve in the Revolutionary War as stated in the preceding declaration against the common enemy, for the term of nine months under one engagement, on the continental establishment. I also certify that the foregoing oath  and the Schedule thereto annexed, and truly copied from the records of the said Court, and I do further certify, that it is the opinion of the said court that the total compensation value of the property exhibited in the approved schedule is thirty dollars.
In testimony whereupon I have
hereunto set my hand and affixed
the seal of the said Court on this 
5th day of September 1825 and in
the 50th Year of the Commonwealth.
