Mr. A. H. Wilkinson
110 East Wisconsin Avenue
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir:


Reference is made to your letter in which you request in
formation in regard to Lieutenant Nathan Hatch, of the Revolutionary War, who died November 10, 1847 and is buried in Brookfield,

The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file
in pension claim, S. 21798, based upon service of Nathan Hatch in
the Revolutionary War.
Nathan Hatch was born November 16, 1757 in Attleborough,
Bristol County, Massachusetts. The names of his parents were not

while residing in said Attleborough, Nathan Hatch enlisted
sometime in July 1776, served four months as private in Captain Isaac

was stationed at Dorchester, near Boston, and assisted in building a
fort there. He enlisted January 1, 1777 or 1778, served three months
in Captain Moses Filmarth's company, Colonel John Daggett's Massachusetts

regulations direct?
XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age,

XVI. Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? No
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And,

EXPLANATORY NOTES.
QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how
long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being
duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he
cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection
he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; Foryear
months, and days, I served as a month
and days, I served as a -; and for such service I claim a pension.
Page 19

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served,
law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the
the parties of the phrase about three or four months is too inpent
, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions
merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the
another particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objection-
It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration
of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the
applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either
in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed
in any civil pursuit.
QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must
prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of
the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the
regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths
must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate
must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
FOUERE XVI. Mode of authentialing papers.
written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate
must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass
under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly
attached to the certificate.
In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of
office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the
certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

Honorable Daniel A. Reed,

Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. Reed;
In response to your letter of the 17th inst.,
I have the honor to advise you that the places of burial of
the soldiers named therein, are not on record.
A careful search of the records of this Bureau
fails to show claims for pensions on file for Phebe
Howard and Solomon Norton, on account of service rendered
at any time before 1840. As the Census of Pensioners of
1840 was compiled from the reports of the Marshalls of the
several judicial districts, under the act for taking the
sixth census, (see title page of that volume) and without
reference to the archives of the Pension Bureau, it is not
always possible to verify the data contained therein.
You are herewith furnished the dates and
places of death of the following Revolutionary War pensioners

W. 5536 Cornelius Phelps, died March 20, 1844
in Evans, Erie County, New York.

On November 7, 1939 I wrote you regarding the Revolutionary War
service record of Lieutenant Nathan Hatch who is buried in Brookfield,
Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Society, SAR, is trying to obtain the official
service record in order that the grave may be given care and a marker
placed on it. The only information we had was that he died November 19,
1847 aged ninety years.
As we have not received a reply from you, we are submitting
the following additional information just received from the State
Historical Society of Wisconsin, which may aid you in locating the data
we desire
Lieut. Nathan Hatch: According to census record, he was
father or grandfather of Edmund Hatch, born in Vermont,
1800, removed first to New York, then to Wisconsin, 1840
or 1841. May have been the same as Elnathan Hatch of the
Connecticut records.
Thank you for the splendid assistance you have given us
in obtaining the records we are seeking.
Very truly yours,
A. H. Wilken
Secretary

Honorable Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D. C.
My Dear Sir
of

Can you kindly inform me if one Nathan Hatch
received pension as a Revolutionary soldier. It has always been supposed
that he got his pension as a Revolutionary soldier from the pension
office at Milwaukee after he moved to the State of Wisconsin, but I have
had the Hon. J. H. Woodnorth, Pension Agent of Milwaukee, look over the
records and he can only find that Nathan Hatch, his son, received pension
from the Milwaukee office, but as a soldier of the war of 1812. The
father of this Nathan Hatch, also Nathan Hatch, was a soldier of the
Revolutionary War and I would like to know if it is possible to ascertain
what regiment and what company he served and what place he came from
if it is possible for your records to develope the facts. Any expense
that you may be to in the investigation will be cheerfully remitted.
Very truly yours,
A. L. Smith
