I Ebenezer Huntington do depose and say that I came to Acton in Dec 1811.  Since which time I have lived within about one mile of Timothy Fisher of said Acton.  When I came into town Fisher lived in a log house the first on the land he  occupied was brush or logs and of no essential value.  Said Fisher has done no labor of consequence on land since my acquaintance with him.  He has always complained of a difficulty in his side - worked some at shoemaking - but within four or five years he has left off work of any kind - said he could not work - that it hurt his side. [illegible] When I came to Acton Timothy Fisher Jr was an unmarried man and lived with his father.  He has ever been good to work and very industrious.  And in economy and frugality he practised as much as is good.  Indeed a [more?] [saving?] family and an [illegible] [re?]funded less in what is called living I have perhaps never known in all my acquaintance with mankind.  The family have had a good deal of sickness - the eldest child Mahala was [illegible] out of health after I knew the family.  She was occasionally under the doctor's care till she died in 1817.  Her disease was complicated disfysical and [countereffective?].  After the son came to have a family of his own - after he had erected buildings - and wall for fence, his [own?] [illegible] appears and authority over affairs increased of course: - and I [was?] [illegible] the time when he did
Page 5

not treats the business concerns as his own - [yet?] in family agreement the two got along very well till the pension was stopped. From about that time discord and strife arose in in the family and it would be difficult to describe the miserable quarrels and the contentions of that house. With the old man and his son months before the arbitration I had frequent conversation with each respecting their difficulties, disagreements and quarrels. The spring before I was called as one of the arbitrators. that settled their matters (if settlement it could be called) the son went to the westward - he said before he went as for living so any longer he could not nor should not - He would look up a place to go to do - After he came back he said he was determined to have his pay. As one of the arbitrators I had no difficulty in determining on the case. In regard to that settlement I have made an affidavit which I suppose has been sent to the war office to which I now refer.
A year ago last December said Fisher and wife came to me as one of the Overseers of Acton at that time for assistance of the town. Their condition much affected me. I had tried to assist in settling their difficulties and had failed. The pension
Page 6

to which it would seem he was entitled he could not obtain  - and his son refused all assistance.  I kept them at my house about a week and they went off.

I Timothy Fisher Junior of Acton in the County of Windham and State of Vermont of lawful age defense and say, that I was twenty one years old the 17th day of October 1810 - that from that time to the last of September 1823 I laboured for my father (Timothy Fisher) without receiving any compensation but a base living - my clothing has been poor [two words crossed out] and I have had but a very moderate supply -  I was [illegible] to labour for my father because he had given some the [illegible] that I should have my pay - his health was poor, that he could [have work?] a very little, and my mother's health was feeble and declining and in the situation they have remained ever since - I have laboured for my father thirteen years last October, except that I was absent a five weeks in the spring of the year1822 - Last Sept I came to a resolution not to work for my father anymore until I should secure pay for what I had done, I made known to my father my feelings on the subject - he did not appear disposed to do anything about it, until he feared that I was resolutely bent on going away - He then professed to leave it to mend and we agreed to leave it to Ebenezer Huntington Esq.

Deposition of Leonard Farr.
Page 9

I Leonard Farr depose and say that I moved to Townshend the 5th day of March 1808 since which time I have lived within a half mile of Timothy Fisher fo Acton.  Said Fishers son T. say was twenty or twenty one years of age then.  Since my acquaintance with the family the old gentleman as ever complained of ill health  pain in the side  a difficulty that has prevented his performing labor as men in general do.  I should think the young manfor seven to nine years after I knew him continued unmarried and lived with his father and did very good work for kind man - not so much as some men would do but was attentive faithful go to work and careful in business.  The family lived in a log house several years after I moved to Townshend.  The small house and barn has since been built and I should say the efficient work in erecting the buildings - building fence and taking care of the family affairs has been the labor and service of the young man.  The second day of Febr last I purchased the Fisher land or farm in conexion with and for my son at four hundred dollars -  two hundred fifty dollars payable in (?)eat stock and one hundred fifty dollars cash - this included about ten acres valued at sixty or seventy dollars which I think had bee purchased after the young man was of age
Page 10

and must have been paid for according to the opinion I have by the labors of the son either directly or indirectly.  Since the young man has been married he has had considerable sickness in his family and his services would of course by taken in providing for them.  Within two or three years the young man with his own family and the old people in his family has had more than he quietly get along with.  The young man has moved his family to his wives fathers and the old people on the charity of others.

Dear sir:

I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary war pension clainmS.38695, it appears that Timothy Fisher enlisted March 4, 1778, served as a private in Captains Henry Champion's Company Colonel Samuel Wyllys' Connecticut Regiment, and was discharged January 1, 1779. He enlisted in July 1780 and served nine months in the same company and regiment, at the time commanded by different officers whose names he did not state.

He was allowed pension on his application executed April 10, 1818, while a resident of Acton, Windham County, Vermont.

In 1820 he still resided in Acton and stated that he was then aged fifty-eight years. At that time he referred to his wife Elizabeth, aged sixty years.

They had three children, the oldest, Mahala, died in 1817, another daughter whose name is not given, and a son, Timothy Junior, who was born October 17, 1789. He married in 1814, and in 1824 was living in Acton, Vermont, and at that time has a small family. The name of his wife and children are not shown.

Due to a very large number of requests similar to yours, and the lack of clerical force available for the purpose, the Bureau is unable to make immediate reply to each inquiry pertaining to soldiers of the Revolution and War of 1812. Letters are being answered as rapidly as possible in order of receipt.

Very truly yours,

Peter R Taft
Page 26

I Peter R Taft of Jamaica in the county of Windham and state of Vermont do dispose and say that about three or four years ago I was applied to as a neighbor to settle a matter between Timothy Fisher of Acton and his son. At that time I lived in Townhend about two miles distant from said Fisher and had resided there over twenty years. Mr Fisher had been on the pension roll and it was aid struck off. The son claimed a settlement on amount of services done and either a deed of the property or payment. I was knowing to the service done by the son and his merits generally supporting the family- its [unk] its [unk] & that the to gentleman had  during my acquaintance with him [unk] little labor- that he did something at mending & making  thou that his health had been considered infirm and unable to labor-that after the son came of age he has been efficient man in service- that his work had been heavy and that he had been faithful and deserving- before  the son's coming of age I knew there were neither buildings or fence of any order on the land- that he was the cause of a small comfortable house and barn being erected and considerable stone wall made in the land. I was called with two others to judge on the claims of the
Page 27

son. It was not disputed but when the work was done that the son expected compensation and it was evidently the case that both father and son has intended that the son should be the mover of the pension and that while in his [unk] the son at least considered them a  security for his payment. It was natural to discover that the son's feelings had altered towards his father after he became entitled to a pension. The son was still the [unk] of the family and the claims of natural affection were lost in the consideration that his services were made a [unk] to the benefits provided by the government. The son demanded a settlement either amicably by arbitration or by legal remedy. I had no doubt of the son's determination to close a settlement and come to a seperation of the joint interest with his father. His object appears to be to let his father take care of himself- to look out for himself and go to the  [unk] as one of the arbitrators I assisted in appraising

Peter R Taft the property and in [unk] the value of the labor done. I have before this [unk] an affidavit to send to the Mag office which I think was specific in deter and [unk] to which I would refer.

West Townshend August 25, 1827.

Dear Sir:
In behalf of the Overseer of Acton - I drew a petition in that time since in the case of Timothy Fisher a revolutionary pensioner desiring to obtain information &c. Your line has been received and I have prepared the case as well as I could. But I live some distance from the County Clerk's office and have had not had opportunity to examine the papers there. I have procured testimony which in addition to what is already in file will give a general view of the transactions. The depositions forwarded are from men of respectability. Lemuel Farwell is a magistrate of good standing in the county. Peter R. Taft was for a series of years a member of our Legislature. Hes long been a magistrate and is also one of the masters in Chancery. Ebenr Huntington was of the Legislature last year is a magistrate and has long been one of the Judges of the County Court. 
From the evidence it appears that the son ought to have been paid off before Fisher made his schedule in 1820. Or in other words the schedule ought to have contained the improvements made by the son who was on the land and could not for a moment have supposed they were not made for himself. We have shown his services performed and the indebtedness at that time; and hope that a decision will not be built upon the foolish supposings of an old man who with a two years pension received and probably with a very [illegible] portion for it in his pocket, was meditating the consequence of a nabob and the perpetual gravitude of a child who had already broken his nature in a worse than Egyptian bondage. These paupers are in really a
Page 31

suffering condition. And they are owned of none neither do they find a village willing relief because it is evident but for their own folly they might have continued to receive all the necessary assistance their health could desire. They are put off from one to another and seem destined to perish between the feeble treasuries of the U. S. and the town of Acton.
Very respectfully your most obedient servant

Timothy Fisher of Vt was placed on the Revolutionary Pension Roll in 1819-under the act of 1820 he was stricken from the roll on acct of property and his application to be [unk] was rejected on the ground that he had conveyed his real estate (of the [unk] of about $300) and his son for wages accruing under a [unk] contract. I am informed by the select men of Acton (where Fisher resided) that he is a pauper; and that they have, heretofore, regarded a reconsideration of the case , [unk]- in regards to the objection, I have to say, that by the loss of Vermont a parcel contract for wages is valid- and may be informed to be.

I Jonathan Shattuck of Townshend in the County of Windham and state of Vermont do depose and say that I have lived within about one mile of Timothy Fisher of Acton about thirty years. I have known said Fisher over thirty years -- since my acquaintance he has ever been an infirm
man complaining of a pain in his side and he has not wished about as other men do -- he mended and made shoes and did some little work but has always been in [illegible] and some in debt. Timothy Fisher Jr. has always lived with his father -- been faithful and laborious -- For eight or ten years after he came of age his work was better than the service of ordinary hired men. The old gentleman had one son and two daughters. The son was married in 1814. He has four or five children - one is sickly and feeble -- has lost one and his wife for four or five years has seen to business but little --  He sold his place last winter and went to the Westward -- returned --is considerably in debt -- his wife lives at her father's. He works here and there a day where he can get

Lemuel Farwell
Page 43

I Lemuel Farwell of Acton depose and say that I have lived in said town twenty three years last March and within about one mile from Timothy Fisher. Said Fisher has ever been a man of bad health since I knew him. He has not been able to do half of the labor of common man. It has been said by physicians that the cause of his difficulty in is side was on account of a disease on the vitals and that it was supposed a portion adhered to the side. Fisher's wife was confined and under doctor's care for six or seven years about the first of my being in town. Her health has some improved but she has never been able to take the ordinary care of family affairs. Timothy Fisher Jr. has continued to live with his father after and before coming of age till since 1824. He has evidently been the stay and support of the family. There is no doubt but the old gentleman and family, a wife and one daughter, at least must have been in charity of friends or a public charge for support but for the service rendered by the son. The buildings and wall on the land built by the son as I conceive with little or no help of the father cost more money than the place sold for. I should say the same of other land in town that the buildings & wall cost more than the farms will sell for. Fisher had a daughter who was sick with a lingering complaint a number of years and was a good deal of expense in doctor's bills and the other necessary nursing and charges; she died a distance from home at the westward and shew as of greater charge than though she had been at home. Within a few years the concerns of the son with an increasing family and considerable sickness are going backward. He appears discouraged his health is
Page 44

becoming poor- he has evidently worked beyond his [illegible]-- his circumstances are becoming embarrassing. He not only is in any condition longer to support his father but will be in great trouble to support his own family.  And they apparently cannot continue a long time without the help of the town. The old gentleman came to me as one of the Overseers for assistance and on that principle we have petitioned that we may have help by way of his pension

Argument on the Petition of the Overseers of Acton.

So far as the application is to place Fisher on the pension roll as a person who is now in need of assistance, we take the case to be clear; and that at this time there can be no doubt or question that he is obviously within the law of March 18, 1818.
In relation to his claims for the pension on the evidence adduced from the time he made his declaration, having been in the interim formally stuck off under the Act of 1820, the case is different.
Whatever the evidence was at the time his case was examined we do not doubt that it furnished the proper ground for the decision. We at this time, however, have the fullest assurance that had the evidence which we now forward been presented, or had the proceedings of the father and son been truly represented and fully understood, a different decision would have been made.
This omission, this mistake, this want of attention in presenting the case of Fisher, called by whatever name it may be; has truly been the cause of all the difficulty arisen - the consequences of which have been really distressing to this [illegible] family. And here we beg indulgence. We acknowledge that rules and presumptions; that facts admitted; and, perhaps discrepancies in dates and sworn under oath, maybe arrayed against us. But after all, the case is shortly this: Fisher is, and was always poor and embarrassed. But benefited by the long and faithful labors of his son, and receiving his pension dividends regularly of the public, the old man, putting off his former
Page 47

humility, felt the effects of a brief self importance; and where he cast a look over his lands and saw his premises in a condition of some improvement with the indisputable title in himself, in this state of exaltation, he paid as little regard to the condition or rights of his son and most likely thought as little of them, as of the spirit of the law of 1820; and his schedule was probably, in the hurry of business while the court was in session, drawn without much information communicated of the actual circumstances that might to have influenced and controlled that transaction.  It is true, that the price of the sons labor, and what should have been a provision for himself and family for life, or at least the remnant of it, were wrapped up and thrown into Fisher's schedule of property required by the act of 1820, which it seems amounted to $350, besides few personals, and this is all!  This is the utmost limit of value of the effects of Timothy Fisher and his son Timothy Fisher Jr. This is the amount of property that places the father and his family beyond the reach of want and the need of assistance:  And, moreover, discharges a claim for seven years (or more) of labor performed faithfully under the solemn obligation of moral duty. And assuming that the property belonged to the old gentleman after he died [illegible] it is also true, that the lien, which young Fisher had upon the property in his possession, for indemnity, has vanished away.

When the son came to twenty one years of age, and so long ago as the year 1808, if we at all take the force of the testimony. Fisher and his family were precisely in the condition of hundreds of others who belonged to the family of revolutionary soldiers; and who, had his son set up for himself in any other way, would have been found in 1818 in that suffering condition, which
Page 48

so many others were in, whom can effectually wrought from the finer feelings of sympathy, of gratitude, and of justice, and called the Act of 1818 with all its infirmities
and attending difficulties into being. [ineligible] long back in 1808 was not Fisher an object demanding charity? With a constitution broken in the camps of 1778 - unable to labor? - with a sick wife and two females, one [d...ial?] and consumptive? and himself a cobler, on a patch of poor mountain land - in an old log hut, was he not the indentical case contemplated by the law of 1818?  And from whence did he mainly derive his aid, his support for ten years subsequent?
In 1820 it was the government which made it necessary that the interest of the father and son be separated. As it had taken the old gentleman under its care it had an undoubted right to require of him on receiving the consideration proffered to exhibit his property. But it could never contemplate the impoverishment of the son or indirectly taking away his rights. And so far as the line of duty or propriety was followed by a compromise in dividing the property, or closing a settlement in any form whatever in pursuance of good conscience, the proceeding was regular.  The deed to the son (of its date we here say nothing) was executed for a good consideration.  It was not a voluntary conveyance.  It was made on valuable and full compensation. On a settlement in the presence of reputable friends and neighbors who assisted and advised the mode and manner adopted. Witnesses without reproach - and upon whom it would be severe to impute fraud. 
But we will suppose, and for the argument's sake admit, what it seems is intended for - That at the time it became the duty of Fisher to make his schedule, he told his son, that, inasmuch as the government had given him a pension, and he had a house and land of his own, he wanted his help no longer - that he and his family might go where they pleased is welcome - that he
Page 49

was fully persuaded it was best not to pay any thing for what he had done--that if he did, it would be a fraud upon the law & defeat the payment of his pension-  For himself he was satisfied-- he wanted no further favor-- and as to pay he doubted whether he could recover any thing in law or equity for there was no written contract between them.  But afterwards an arbitration was had, or a settlement was effected by the assistance of others, free from the imputation of fraud or any such thing and the son has a conveyance of land. And shall this bar the pension? We frankly declare we cannot discover the reason. And do believe we have established a title to it from the time that Fisher settled and discharged his son's demand. 
The claim to Fishers pension, [words crossed out], while his own disclosure and acknowledgement of property is on record against him, [illegible] on another footing;  as he could not create a right by any falsity in lessening or reducing the inventory of estate which he actually owned, but would have been struck off on discovery and punished for the knavery; so in putting into his schedule property not his, it is humbly conceived the error will be indulgently corrected. 
And if it shall be found that when Fisher made his declaration in 1818, he was within the [illegible] of the law, and that the son’s right in the land ought to have been set forth in his schedule under the act of 1820, we have confidence that the familiar rule of equity will be applied in considering that which ought to have been done as being done.

We Ebenezer Huntington of Acton and Peter R. Taft of Townshend both in the County of Windham and State of Vermont depose and say that some time in the latter part of September AD 1823 we were called upon by Timothy Fisher and Timothy Fisher Jr. both of Acton aforesaid to Arbitrate, adjudge and determine in matters of difference between the said parties- and having met according to appointment we proceeded to examine the matters in dispute between the said parties--In the course of the investigation it did appear in evidence, that the said Timothy Fisher Jr. had laboured for his Father faithfully and industriously for the time of about twelve or thirteen years. It also appeared that the said Timothy Jr. during a portion of the aforesaid time, (the exact time we do not precisely remember) had a small family the support of which we did consider an ample compensation for his services during that period-- the other portion of that time which if we recollect right, was four or five years he had received nothing, except a small portion of ordinary clothing - Besides the labor as aforesaid, the said Timothy Jr held a demand against his Father (the precise sum is not recollected) which came to him the sd. Timothy Jr by gift from his Uncle Gurden Fisher, for which demand together with the services aforesaid – we did [illegible], order and determine, that the said Timothy Fisher, pay to his son Timothy Fisher Jr. the sum of Four hundred and one Dollars and forty one cents, on demand.

And your deponents further say that at the trial above mentioned, we were fully satisfyed, that the claim exhibited by the said Timothy Fisher Jr against his father was a just one- without the least, fraud, deceit, or collision in the case - and we further say that from our own personal knowledge of services rendered by sd. Timothy Jr. to his Father, we are of an opinion that he has received but a moderate consideration for the same—
And further your Deponents say that Otis Streeter who was
Page 59

a member of said Arbitration agreed with your deponents in opinion as touching the business of said arbitration, but he has since removed from this vicinity, which is the only reason why his signature has not been obtained--And further we say not.

Page 60

I Timothy Fisher of Acton in the County of Windham
and State of Vermont of lawful age depose and say that
my son Timothy Fisher Jun. arrived to the age of twenty one
years on the seventeenth day of October AD 1810 that on
or near this period I agreed with said Timothy to
work for me on the farm, being unable to labour myself 
and my wife being in a low state of health, I found
it necessary to hire somebody, or I could not subsist.
My farm was small, poor and uncultivated and without 
assistance I could not procure from it the necessaries 
of life. My son did agree to stay and work, and
I agreed to pay him for the same he lived with
me without much uneasiness untill the spring of 1822
when he left me, and took a journey into the State of
New York to look at a place to live, he returned in about
two or three weeks, and went to work as he had done
to I had paid him nothing except a scanty clothing
he again became uneasy in the month of September
last and demanded of me, pay for the labour which he
had done for me he had now worked for me
twelve years and about ten months which constitutes
the first item in his demand.
In the aforesaid year AD 1810, I purchased a piece of land
of my Brother Gordon Fisher who then lived in the
District of Maine, in part payment of which I executed
to said Gordon, three Notes of hand of ten dollars each
made payable to said Gordon or his order and entered
which dates, some time afterwards were given to
my son Timothy by his uncle Gordon aforesaid, and
which were not paid or any part thereof on the
last of September 1823. Amounting at this time to between
fifty four and fifty five dollars, about this item there was no
disagreement between me and my son.
The other claim for labour, was indefinite and we
did not agree therefore agreed to submit to the opinion
of Ebenezer Huntington Esqr, Peter R Taft Esqr and Otis
Streeter, who awarded to my son four hundred and
one dollars and forty one Cents including the dates
as aforesaid. Finding it impossible to pay said
award in any other method than to sell my land
I agree with my son to take the land at the
Page 61

appraisal of men in the land was accordingly applied 
and on the fourth day of March 1824 I deposited to
him a deed of the same.
