Dear Sir
Can you give me any information regarding the Revolution record of Amas Green of Windham
of New London Co, Connecticut.

I understand he or his widow were pensioners. He is supposed to have died at Killingly Conn
but when I do not know any statement in applying for a pension
Page 25

& the date of death of Amos as his wife-
will be appreciated
I think his wife was Lydia Johnson & their residence at our time was Killingly

Very truly yours

To whom it may concern

I wish to enter the D.A.R. and have not very much information as regards how to look up the
necessary credentials. I know my great grandfather in my father's side was in the Revolution
He enlisted either from Thompson, Conn or Killiney, Conn. His brothers were Henry
and Ebenezer & his name was Amos Green
The latter's wife lived long after he did and
drew a pension hence my sending to the pension department for data.

I think he served
Page 27

at three different times during the war
He was sentinel at Charlestown neck after the
Battle of Bunker Hill.  He was not captured as so many of his regiment were at Harlem
& was in the battle of Harlem Heights.

 Can you look up any information & write me


Stating Vol. Page etc that I can refer to?

If you can, you will confer a favor upon

Pension Office,
December 12. 1843
Sir,
In answer to your letter respecting Lavina Green's case, I have to inform you, that her husband proved 18 months and 4 days service, for which she was allowed a pension. The rules require us to grant the widow a pension for no more service than is established by disinterested witnesses. Here we cannot allow the alleged service of her husband in Capt. Elliotts company
in 1775, in Durkee's regiment nor can we allow his service in 1776 in Capt. Crosby's company, unless other proof than his own declaration be produced. We cannot copy declarations for claimants in such cases as this
I am respectfully,
Your Obt such

Sir,
I yesterday recd the pension Certificate for the widow of Amos Green at 64.10 per
annum, instead of 80, what her husband recd. I wish to know why she is cut off the
16 Dollars a year if two years service is not made out, it yet may be, It is a fact that
Amos Green, was a solder in the Rev War over 4 years, a time longer & a better soldier than
ever went from this County, that his widow after much tribulation, should at least, be reduced in her just claim she is entitled to know & request to know the reasons,

I have before me the first draft. I made of the services of Amos Green, as a soldier, it was
made preparatory to be copied into blanks to obtain his pension under the act of 1832, how
much of it, & in what words I copied I know not. as it was only necessary to prove two years
Page 44

service to obtain the highest pension. I might not (as in some cases I did not) only put in time enough to make out 2 years,

The original draft before me states.
7 months in 1775 at Cambridge Capt Elliott Co Col Durkees Regt there is lying before me a Roll of that Co, of which you have a copy in which it appears he served 7 mo. 6 days
In 1776, he was entered into Capt Crosby Col Sages Regt State troops 6 months
In 1777 in Capt Kies Co. Col Ely Regt 6 mos
In 1782 a Continental Soldier Col. Sherman Reg 6 mos for this since you have his discharge.
The above since makes 25 months & 6 day

It may appear from your records that the above is all the service, he declared upon & I supposing that proved, to be all that was needful, but I will give you the balance
of his story as he first, told it & wrote it down
Page 45

Viz I served 2 Summers 6 months each as a substitute one for Davis Flint and one for Dea, Tommy Class so Called, was in the Jersies, Morris Town, & and assisted
in building the Barracks, there the hard winter of 1779 -80 and after my first 7 months, I was out at Cambridge I served 2 months in a militia tour in Capt Greens Company

From my knowledge of the integrity of Amos Green, I can never doubt the truth of the above, were not most of the soldiers dead his service between 1777 & 1782, could be proved. I wish you to give me a copy of his declaration that I can see
have for I copied in his as I have recorded it for Mrs Green will apply for a service of this matter that justice may be done, he was out, as he claimed 39 months, & you have allowed her but about 20.
