and Webb's Connecticut Regiment, was in the battle of Kingsbridge
and was discharged December 31, 1783.

He also served two years in the militia
and State service, date and names of officers are not stated.

He was allowed pension on an application of
executed April 29, 1818, while a resident of Ellington, Tolland
County, Connecticut, aged fifty-six years.

He married April 6, 1786, at Stafford,
Connecticut, Matilda Ellis and died September 24, 1834 at Ellington,

Sir:

In response to your letter dated the 1" instant,
you are advised that the record of Amasa Dimmick, Revolutionary
War pensioner W. F. No. 3, 396 was furnished you October
22, 1913, and owing to a lack of clerical force, available
for the purpose, it is not the practice of this Bureau
to furnish the record of such a soldier more than once to the same
person.

In the papers in the above mentioned claim there is
no reference to soldier's parents or as to whether Amasa
Dimmick Jr. had children.

The Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail
to afford any information in regard to John Dimmick, whom
you state was the father of Amasa Dismick.
Very respectfully

Gentlemen:
On October 22nd, 1913 you gave me the Revolutionary War
record of Amasa Dimmick, war file 3396. With this information I
gained membership in the Sons of the Revolution.

I recently made application for membership in the Society
of Mayflower Descendants, in the State of New York.  Mr. Walter S.
Allerton, Historian of this society writes me as follows under date of
May 1st:

"I have yours of April 29th. For our purposes
information of the Dymake Family of England,
while interesting is of no value, and I have
full particulars of Timothy Dimmick, and record
of birth of his son, John Dimmick, and his
marriage at Mansfield on Jan. 17, 1753 to
Hannah Smith.
What I need to complete your line are full
details of subsequent generations, the two
Amasa Dimmicks and Wealthy ( Dimmick) Allen in
particular. If Mr. Eno's book has been
published and contains these details I have
no doubt it will be accepted as authority."

John Dimmick who married Hannah Smith at Mansfield, Conn.,
on January 17, 1753, was the father of Amasa Dimmick.

I shall be greatly assisted in obtaining membership in
this society if you will give me [inserted:] the/ same information that you did when
I joined the Sons of the Revolution, i.e.  The war record of Amasa
Dimmick and the record of the birth of his children. If any of your
records show that Amasa Dimmick was the son of John Dimmick and
Hannah Smith, I wish that you would give me this record, and if you
have any record as to the children of Amasa Dimmick, Jr., I would
very much like to secure this information.

Bureau of Pensions       -2-       May 1st, 1916.

Wealthy (Dimmick) Allen, daughter of Amasa Dimmick, Jr.,
was my grandmother. I have now established a clear line of descent
down to John Dimmick, father of Amasa Dimmick. With the information
which you gave me I had no difficulty in securing membership in the
Sons of the Revolution. The Society of Mayflower Descendants, however,
seem to wish to have all the information published in book form, or
other documentary evidence.

If you will give me as full a record as you can it will be
very much appreciated.

Yours very truly,

Gentlemen:
I thank you very much for your favor of the 22d giving
the Revolutionary War record of Amasa Dimmick W. F. 3.396 that he
served in Captain Dorrance's Company and [crossed out:] Lt. Colonel Issac Sherman's
Regiment. I note that underneath you give the name of "Webb". Does
this mean that he was in Colonel Webb's Regiment also?

Will you be so kind as to inform me what the name "Webb"
in dicates, whether he was Brigade Commander or not? The Sons of the
Revolution do not seem to have a record of service under Colonel
Webb.

Thanking you for your kindness in forwarding the information
that you have already [crossed, illegible] and for the anticipated favor, I am,
Yours very truly,

Declaration
In order to be restored to the pension List under the 18
March 1818 and the act of 1st of May 1820
State of Connecticut
County of Tolland Ss, County Court August Term 1828
On this 26th day of August AD 1828 Personally appeared in
open Court being a Court of record for said County having
the power of fine and imprisonment Amasa Dinnick
resident in said County aged 66 years who being first
duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the
following declaration in order to obtain the provisions
made by the act of congress of the 18th March 1818 and
1st May 1820 that he the said Amasa Dinnick
enlisted in the State of Connecticut for the term of three
years the____________ day of__________ A.D. 1780 in Capt Donances
Company, Col. Isaac Shermans Regiment in the
Connecticut line and Continental establishment & served
in that Regiment and in the Regiment commanded by
Col. Webb untill the expiration of [inserted] sd three years being three
months after the close of the Revolutionary war & was
discharged from said service at West point that his
name has been placed on the pension list & dropped there
from on account of his property; No of pension certificate
2549, his discharge was forwarded to the pension office
on his first application for a pension, & now is in said office;
And in pursuance of the act of the 1st May 1820_
I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the
United States on the 18th day of March 1818 & that I have not
Page 62

since that time by gift, sale or in any manner disposed
of my property or any part thereof with intent thereby so to
diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an
act of Congress entitled an act to provide for certain
persons engaged in the land and naval service of the
United States in the Revolutionary war passed on the
18th day of March 1818 and that I have not, nor has
any person in trust for me any property or securities
contracts or debts due to me nor have I any income
other than what is contained in the schedule hereto
annexed and by me subscribed
The reason of my not applying sooner to be restored to
the pension list is that it is but lately that I lost
my property and means of support as hereafter explaind
Schedule
A life lease of about fifty acres of land worth 30 dollars
per annum ----   Amasa Dimmick
That since the exhibition of my first schedule the following
changes have been made in my property-- 76 acres
of land deeded to Harvey Dimmick the 13th day of Novr
AD 1824 in payment of a debt of one hundred dollars
which I then owed the said Harvey and also in
consideration that the said Harvey should give to me and my
wife a lease for our lives of that part of said farm lying
in the Town of Ellington in sd County being about
fifty acres, and also with the understanding & verbal
agreement that the said Harvey should support me and
my wife during our natural lives, and that I also at the 
same time and for the same consideration sold & delivered
Page 63

to the said Harvey one yoke of oxen two cows, ten sheep, one
house, one hog my farming tools & household furniture
and the residue of the property contained as named in said
first schedule had been expended and consumed in the
support of my family_
The said Harvey did accordingly give to me & my wife
a life lease of said fifty acres of land which is all the
property I now possess and is insufficient for the support of
myself and family - and the said Harvey did support
me and my wife after said 13th day of November 1824
till his death which happened in the month of Sept AD 1827
That the said Harveys estate excepting the sd land
subject to said life lease has been sold & disposed of for
the payment of his debts, and the declarant has no means
of obtaining his support out of said estate or of the
heirs of said Harvey__
The declarant is a farmer- is subject to the Rheumatic
complaints & incapable of hard labor- he
has a wife Sixty two years of age also infirm and
incapable of much labor-----
The applicant has no other means of support
than what is above mentioned and is dependant
and in need of assistance from his County for
support__
Sworn to & declared in open Court this 26th day of August
AD 1828. This Court find the facts true as stated in the
foregoing declaration & that the Declarants property consists
in a life [illegible] of about 50 acres of land in the Town of
Ellington of the value of thirty dollars a year & no more
And they the applicant has no other means of
Page 64

support than what is above mentioned and is dependant
and in need of assistance from his Country for support

The within and foregoing is a true copy of record-
