Hon. J.L. Edwards--

Dear Sir--

Since my return from Washington, the accompanying copies in support of the application of Mrs. Agnes Miltimore for a Pension have been procured from the office of our Secretary of State.  They seem to me to establish clearly the service of Daniel Miltimore, for 8 months and 4 days as a Sergeant in Capt. Geo. Reid's company and Col. John Stark's Regiment, prior to Aug. 1, 1775, for 4 days as a Private in Capt. John Duncan's company under command of Lt. Col. Moses Kelley from July 1, 1777, to July 4, 1777, for 2 months and 5 days as a Lieutenant in Capt. Peter Clark's company, Stickney's Regiment and Stark's Brigade, from July 20, 1777, to Sept. 25, 1777, and for a longer or shorter period as Lieutenant in 1775-6.

In your letter to me, dated June 11, 1842, speaking of Daniel Miltimore's alleged service in July [underlined] 1777, in Duncan's company as a Private, and in Clark's company as a Lieutenant, you say it is apparent from these facts, that there were two [underlined] individuals in the service of the same name.  If you will notice the nature [underlined] of the service in Duncan's company, "upon the alarm" [underlined] in conveyance of Baum's advance into Vermont, and the length of it, only from July 1, to July 4, I think you will see nothing inconsistent in the statement that the same individual served in both companies, especially since the Roll shows
Page 8

the engagement in Clark's company not to have commenced till July 21, 27 days after the termination of the service in Duncan's company.

You say that Reid's company performed 8 months service in Massachusetts in 1775, being paid to Aug. 1st by New Hampshire, and then taken into continental pay.  On examining the Records in our Secretary's office, two receipts of Reid's company to Timothy Walker Jr., one for Regimental Coats and the other for Blankets, were found, upon neither of which is to be found Miltimore's name; and from the nature of those receipts, copies of which are transmitted herewith, it seems to me they furnish conclusive evidence that Miltimore did not [underlined] continue to serve in Reid's company long, if at all, after Aug. 1, 1775.  On examining the Records of the proceedings of the Committee of Safety of this State, I find that Timothy Walker Jr. was specially appointed by their body to pay the N.H. troops an equivalent for the Coats and Blankets promised them, and these receipts were undoubtedly taken by him in the discharge of the duties of that appointment.  If you are satisfied from these receipts that Miltimore left Reid's company about the first of Aug. 1775, you will find no difficulty in believing that he might afterwards have served as Sergeant in Moses Baker's, and subsequently as Lieutenant in Daniel Rummel's company.

As to this service of the same Daniel Miltimore in Baker's company as Sergeant, Nov. 5, 1775 (which you state to be the date of the return of the company) and as Lieutenant in Rummel's company in December 1775, as the copy of Col. Burnham's return, which is transmitted herewith, shows him to have served.  I think the proceedings of the New Hampshire Committee of Safety furnishes a satisfactory explanation.  It appears from the Records of those proceedings
Page 9

now in the office of our Secretary of State, that on the 2d day of December 1775, [date underlined] in consequence of an express from Gen. Sullivan, they issued orders to the following settlement each to "enlist a company of 61 able bodied men, including 3 Sergeants and 3 Corporals to serve in the Continental Army under Gen. Washington until the 15th January next, unless sooner discharged by his order," viz:  Captains David Place, Alpheus Chesley, Mark Wiggin, Elijah Dinsbo (supposed Dinsmore), Peter Coffin, Henry Elkins, David Copp, Joseph Parsons, Jacob Webster, Stephen Clark, Daniel runnels, Moses Baker, Moses Graton, Nathaniel Odiorne, Greenleaf Clark and John Waldron.  On the 3d day of December 1775, they sent 16 enlisting orders to other persons in different parts of the State, ordered Capt. Moses Baker to dismiss his company and the Receiver General to pay Capt. Moses Baker 35 pounds to be accounted for.  On the 24th day of April 1776, the Committee of Safety passed an order to pay Col. Burnham L12=4=10, "for his time and expenses at Medford mustering the 31 companies [underlined] sent down there."  By comparing the names of the 16 persons enumerated in the order of the Committee of Safety, with the names of the Captains of 16 of the 31 companies embraced in Col. Burnham's return, you will find them to correspond, and the number of men (61) including 3 Sergeants and 3 Corporals who corresponds.

My explanation of the matter is this...Moses Baker commanded a company at Portsmouth of which Daniel Runnels was Lieutenant and Daniel Miltimore, Sergeant of this company you have a return dated Nov. 5, 1775, as mentioned in your letter to me of Jan. 11, 1842.  On receiving the express from Gen. Sullivan, Dec. 2, 1775, the Committee of Safety ordered both
Page 10

Baker and Runnels to enlist companies, and at the same time directed Baker to dismiss his former company.  This done, it seems perfectly natural that Ensign Gregg and Sergeant Miltimore should receive commissions as Lieutenant under Runnels, who had been promoted to a Captaincy by the Committee of Safety.

I think under these facts and circumstances, you will not find it difficult to believe that Miltimore served first [underlined] in the Autumn of 1775 as Sergeant in Baker's company at Portsmouth, and that company having been disbanded by order of the Committee of Safety, he became [underlined] Lieutenant under Runnels, and went to Medford in December, as Col. Burnham's return shows.

I had thought of procuring extracts from the Records of the proceedings of the Committee of Safety and forwarding them to you, showing the facts I have stated, but as I am informed by Capt. John H. Miltimore, son of the applicant, that he has received information that the Department are ready upon the receipt of the copies to place his mother on the List, I will not at present do it.  If it should be desired by you, however, it can be done at any time.

As to the length of the service at Medford, you have probably the means of determining it at once with accuracy.

With sentiments of high respect,
Your friend & Servant,
Franklin Pierce

Supposing that you might not be perfectly satisfied of the marriage of Daniel Miltimore and Agnes Miltimore I send you the accompanying portion [underlined] of an old family Register found among the papers of said Daniel--the rest of said Register having been torn in pieces and lost.

Mrs. Humphrey is anxious to know the result of her application--She is extremely poor and, of course, any aid she might receive from government would be gratefully received.--She is old & infirm and it is very desirable that whatever she may obtain--may be soon--Believing she was entitled to a pension I have given her my poor afsistance without any hope of fee or reward whatever might be the result--

I Should like to know as soon as convenient your decision in relation to both these applications

Yours very Respectfully

Sir
I have recd your letter of the 18th instant
on the subject of the claim of Agnes Miltimore
Owing to what appears to me, some ambiguity in
it style I am unable to satisfy myself as to
the true meaning of its contents
When I last wrote to your department my
object was to learn whether there was any
valid objection to the declaration provided
the services were satisfactorily shewn to
have been performed - and on that point
I am still in the dark. At the time the declaration 
was made I had not seen either of
the acts granting pensions to widows. I have
formerly applied for a pension for Edna Eaton
of this town and succeeded in obtaining it
The declaration in that case was precisely
like Agnes Miltimores and the services
of the husband of Edna Eaton were closed
before the marriage. These cases being so
similar induced me to declare in
the manner I did-- I now expected to draw
under both acts but supposed that if the services
were established under either she would
be entitled to received a Pension in
Page 14

proportion to the amount of the services rendered/
If you would take the trouble to
answer the following question immediately
after the reception of this letter I would
esteem it a great favor
Questn. Is the declaration made by Agnes Miltimore
in her application for a pension sufficient
to entitle her to the same under the act
of July 7. 1838, provided the services of her
husband can be proved sufficient to entitle he
to such pension?
Yours very Respectfully
Robert Mack
Hon. J.L. Edwards

Sir
I have waited a number
of months in the daily expectation of receiving
the decision of your department on the
application of Jane Humphrey, and
Agnes Miltimore for Pensions on account
of services rendered by James Humphrey
and Daniel Miltimore in the Revolutionary
Army - and I would now take the
liberty to call your attention to those applications. 
As their claims have been a long
time pending it is very desirable that a
decision should be made as soon as
practicable.
I hope and trust that the
matter may be brought to a close without
delay.
Respectfully yours
Robert Mack

J. L. Edwards Esqr
I have just received yours
of the 20th inst in which you say 'that from the
papers now presented the inference is fully justified
that there was more than one person in the service
by the name of Daniel Miltimore."
I think there must have been some mistake 
in making out the papers if that inference
can fairly be drawn from them.
What I supposed we had shown by the
papers, was that the said Daniel Miltimore
served as a Sergeant in the company of Capt Reid
in the vicinity of Boston from some time in
April 1775 to August in the same year - that
in the Autumn following he did duty in the
same capacity in Capt. Parkers company at Portsmouth 6 or 7 weeks - we
then say he was appointed a Lt. under Runnels
and served at Winter Hill in the vicinity of
Boston from Dec 1775 to the Feby or March
following, making 2 or 3 months-- and in
1777 at Bennington in the company 
commanded by Peter Clark, 2 months and some days
as a Lt. There was a short service of 4 days, the
time when I do not recollect, but think in
1776 or the spring of '77. The papers however in your
Page 18

possession will show. Now if the papers show
the foregoing services I am at a loss to account for
the inference you have drawn.
Daniel Miltimore was born in
Londonderry N.H. and resided in said town
until he entered the army in 1775. Shortly after
leaving the service at Winter Hill he removed
to Antrim N.H. and lived in that town
a short time, and then returned to Londonderry
where he continued to reside until the time of
his decease. Perhaps you may not be
aware of the fact that in 1827 the old town 
of Londonderry was by an act of the
Legislature divided and that portion of the old
town in which sd. Miltemore lived was called
Derry.
Whatever inference you may have
been led to draw, the fact is there could
have been no other person of the name of
Daniel Miltimore in the service from
this state- James Miltimore the
father of Sd. Daniel and William the uncle
lived and died in Londonderry. William
had a son by the name of Daniel, who
is now living in Canada, aged about 70
and could not have been a soldier in the
Page 19

revolutionary army. The sd James & William
with their descendants, I am satisfied, are the only
persons of the name of Miltimore who ever resided
in this State.

widow Agnes Miltimore of said Derry
as I understand has made application for a
Pension. The said Daniel was born in said
Derry and lived in said town until the
commencement of the Revolutionary War and for
a year or two after, he then removed
to Antrim in the County of Hillsborough
where he resided a few years and then
returned to Derry and lived in said town until
his death The said Daniel Miltimore has often
stated to me that he served as a Lieutenant
in the action at Bennington
and I have no reason to doubt that he
so served. I have reason to believe that
he performed other services in the Revolutionary
army but do not now recollect any other
I have never known any other person of that
name who was said to have performed any
service in the army of the Revolution

that he served as an orderly Sergeant under Capt Geo

the vicinity of Portsmouth under Capt Moses
Baker, the length of the before named services I do not

him say that when he went to Portsmouth he had the
promise of receiving an adjutants Commission but
in consequence of the disbanding of the army
at Portsmouth he failed to receive said 
commission, he however (as he stated) performed the
duties of adjutant while at Portsmouth
the said Daniel has often told me that he
he served as a Lieut under Capt Daniel

term for which he had or engaged he performed

J.L. Edwards Esq.
I herewith send the application of Agnes
Miltimore for a pension. By reason of the infirmities of age
she is unable to state very definitely the amount of service
rendered by her late husband -John H. Miltimore Esqr.,
the son of the applicant, says that he has frequently heard
his father say he served about one year By the roll in
the Secretarys office it appears that Daniel Miltimore
husband of the applicant served as a sergeant in Capt
Reids company from April 25 to August 1st making
3 mo & 8 days. The records in your department will show
the service as Sergeant in Capt Moses Bakers company at
Portsmouth in Nov 1775 of 6 weeks or more. It further appears
by the return in the secretarys office that he served as a
Lieutenant in Capt. Runnels Company Dec"75 the
length of this service I have not been able to ascertain but
the affidavit of Wm Moore will show that his brother James
served 2 months in Runnels Company in 1775-6 & that
said Miltimore served as a Lieutenant in the same 
Company - I think however that the records now at Washington 
will show the amount of service rendered at that
time. It further appears by the affidavit of said
Moore that said Daniel Miltimore served as
Lieutenant at Bennington for the term of 2 mo or more
Page 33

for the precise amount of this service I will refer you to
the records now in your possession-- I am inclined to 
believe that the said Miltimore continued in the army
from August '75 to the Nov. following-- His son says
he has often heard his father say he served as an adjutant
at Portsmouth. This was probably between the
the above mentioned periods. I am informed by the 
applicant that they were married by the Rev David
MacGregor who died shortly after-- I have been
unable to find any records whatever kept by the
said deceased - They lived together as husband & wife
during his live & no person ever doubted the legality
of their marriage
I would once more call your attention to the
application of Jane Humphrey - By yours last
letter I learn that there is evidence in your department
of the service of James Humphrey at Portsmouth
in Nov. 1775. Dec Jonathan Humphrey son of the
said Jane has often informed me that his father
served at Portmouth, I have made inquiry of persons
whom I know to be well informed on the subject & have
been told that there were no records whatever in relation
Page 34

to the soldiers who served at Portsmouth and for
this reason I have made no mention of this service in the 
declaration of the applicant - think there can be no
doubt that the husband of the applicant was the
James Humphrey whose name is on the record
As it respects the name of the
Captain I would say that I do not know how
he spelled his name but have heard it pronounced
hundreds of times & have heard it invariably called
Runnels His son who lives now in Derry with
whom I am well acquainted spells his name
Reynolds & this is the reason why his name is so spelled
in the applicants declaration.
I think you will find that the said
Humphrey served in the company of Runnels in
the winter 1775-6 at Winter Hill by referring to records
now at Washington

Londonderry   February 2. 1842

Sir

By the last letter I rec'd from you I was informed that Agnes Miltimore the widow of Daniel Miltimore late of this town has claimed a pension under the act of 1836 and it may be so, but my imprefsions are that the claim was intended to be made under that of1838.  My object in now writing is to request you to inform me if such is the fact and if the claim is made under the act of 1836 whether it is absolutely necessary, in order to obtain a pension, in her case to make a new declaration.

As the widow is very aged and infirm it would be attended with much trouble and expense to execute another declaration.  There is no Court within about twenty miles and the nearest Judge lives more than that distance from her.  I think I shall find no difficulty in satisfying you that the Daniel Miltimore under whom the widow claims and who served ["at" stricken out] under Capt Reid in 1775 and the person of that name who served at Bennington in
Page 41

1777 is one and the same person, and I expect to be able to show that the same person performed the services which we allege in the winter of 1775-6 and also the 4 days in July 1777.  these 4 days might have been in the first part of the month and the service of about 2 months commence at their close.  The records at Concord I have not yet examined but intend to shortly and then furnish you with the whole case
Yours very Respectfully
Robert Mack

Will you have the goodnefs to inform me as soon as convenient

I Jenney Miltimore of Derry County of Rockingham & State of Newhampshire Singlewoman aged Seventy four years the first day of June A.D. 1840, testify and say that I have been acquainted with the late Col. Daniel Miltimore of said Derry and his wife Agnes Miltimore from my early childhood.  I have a distinct recollection of the time when they were married being at that time about twelve years of age.  They were married in the year 1778.  I was not at the wedding, but I have a perfect recollection that the Said Col. Daniel Miltimore and his wife came to my fathers house in Derry (formerly Londonderry) and were accompanied by the said Daniel Miltimores father and mother and the Rev'd James Miltimore the brother of said Daniel and others, the next day after they
Page 50

were married.  I have been acquainted with the said Daniel Miltimore and his said wife ever since they were married and have during that time lived within a distance of about two miles of them--excepting a term of time that said Miltimore and his family did in Antrim in the County of hillsborough.  Col Daniel Miltimore died at Derry aforesaid sometime in the Summer of 1828.  His widow Agnes Miltimore is still living in said Derry at the advanced age of nearly eighty eight years--She is now in her "second childhood" and her faculties (particularly her mental faculties) are much impaired.  ["that she is (illegible words) from giving testimony"  all stricken out]   Her maiden name was Agnes Hunter.  I well recollect when the said Daniel Miltimore was a Soldier at "Winter Hill" and at "Bennington" but how long he was in the Revolutionary Service at each of those places I do not know.  The children of the said Daniel Miltimore and his wife Agnes that survive are residents of this town,  Captain John H. Miltimore and Mrs. Elisabeth Hale.

I have no recollection of said Miltimore being out in the Service at any other places than those above named.

I James Gregg of Derry County of Rockingham and State of New hampshire aged Sixty Seven years the 29th day of December last testify and say that I have been acquainted with the late Col. Daniel Miltimore and Agnes Miltimore his wife as long as I can almost remember.  They have lived together as husband and wife till the year 1828, when the said Daniel died leaving his said wife Agnes a widow ["and" stricken out] who has continued his widow ever since that time.  Said Daniel Miltimore died August 9th 1828 I think.  After Said Daniel was married to said Agnes (whose maiden name was Agnes hunter) he and his wife removed to Antrim County of Hillsborough N.H.  My father with his family resided in Antrim during the time Said Miltimore and his wife resided there with the exception of a few weeks of time.

I have no personal knowledge of the said Daniel Miltimore being a col in the Revolutionary Service other than by general repute being too young to recollect any thing material in relation to the Revolution.  The said Daniel Miltimore had Several children by his said wife Agnes two of whom survive and now reside in this town to wit, Capt John H. Miltimore and Mrs. Elisabeth Hale.
