To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States
Congress assembled on the first
Monday of December AD 1826
the memorial of Samuel Kimball
a citizen of the State of Rhode Island
Respectfully represents
that he was drafted
in the service of the United States
on the first or second day of June AD
1780 & was stationed at Danbury Conn
two months & a half-
He there was 
sent with a number of others under the
command of a Sergeant to join
the main body of the American
Army upon his arrival at Orange
town New Jersey he was enrolled
Capt Clifts company in Col. Durkee's
regiment
after doing duty as a
private for the space of three months
he was taken sick with the long
fever & went into one of the United States
Hospital & three remained eight
Page 30

weeks upon
his moving at the request
of the attending Physician & by permission 
his commanding Office he continued
in the hospital & aided in attending
the sick until the period of his enlistment
expired which was on the first day of March 1781
Considering himself entitled
to a pension under the act of 1818 he
prepared his evidence to prove the facts
stated in his Declaration - His papers
have been returned from the office of
the Department of War & his claim rejected
on the ground that by the rolls of the company
or regiment it appeared that he entered
said regiment on the first of August 1780
was discharged on the 25th of October 1780
-
the depositions included among his
papers were not allowed to prove the
mistake of the muster roll thereby in
to the roll a low & probably imprefect
paper, the validity of a Record - Your
Memorialist humbly conceeives that if
your Honorable body will allow him the
benefit of the common rules of evidence
before judicial tribunal, his depositions
Page 31

will entirely explain his case & show
that his name was stricken from
the roll more than four months
before he left the service & was not
placed upon it until two months after
he had been drafted. The whole time
this not engaged in the duty of a private
in the company of Capt. Clifts & the regiment
of Col Durkee, he was in the service of
the U States
In addition to the
service, he was enlisted one year in
the company of Capt. Olney in Col. Cray's
regiment which formed a part of the
American Army commanded by Gen.
Sullivan during the expedition
to Rhode Island in 1778-
In answer to
the claim urged by your Memorialist
for this service, he is told by this Department
of War, that the soldiers of
Col Crays regiment are not entitled
to pension, so that by a mistake
which he is not permitted to explain
in one case & the constitution gives
Page 32

to the law of 1818 in the other he is
very  likely to get no renumeration
for nearly two years services. at
Hodge of sixty five years - miserably
poor without the common necessities
of life because he has infirmity to labor
he earnestly 
prays your humble
body to consider his situation and
grant him such relief as may be
deemed equitable

Dear Sir:
Highland, California.
June 19, 1919.

Have you among your records any applications for pensions
from Revolutionary War soldiers bearing the name of Samuel Kimball?
I have some data concerning men of this name which I obtained from
the Adjutant General of Connecticut and from the Connecticut Historical
Society's Collection, Vol. 8, that I will give you. I do not
know whether the items refer to one man or to two or possibly three
different men.
2nd Reg. Conn. Line, Col. Charles Webb, Company of Capt.
Wm Manning of Woodstock, Private Samuel Kimball. Date of Enlistment
June 6, 1777. Term 3 years Discharged Jan. 9, '78.
Residence not stated
4th Reg. Conn. Line, Col. John Durkee, Norwich. Levies
for 1780. Private Samuel Kimball, Date of Enlistment July 1, 80.
Discharged Dec. 10, '80. Residence Killingly
3rd Reg. Conn. Line, Col. Webb. Short Levies 1781, Samuel Kimball, Entered the service July 15, Discharged Dec. 16.
I am particularly interested in knowing whether you have
pension applications from any of the Samuel Kimballs above mentioned
but I should like to know of any others also, as I am trying to
trace the brother of my great-great grandfather, Jesse Kimball, and
his brother Samuel may have enlisted in some other State than Conn.
Yours truly,

Mrs G. W. Beattie
