Commissioner of Pensions,
Bureau of Pensions,
Washington, D. C.

Dear Sir:
I wish to secure proof for membership in the
D. A. R. of the services of the following men in the
Revolutionary War:

Joseph Green, a resident of Windsor, Vermont
or Williamstown, Mass., and following the war, resided
at Sodus, N. Y. He is reported to have been a Captain
and was imprisoned on a British ship in Boston Harbor.

Orsamus Holmes, Private, born Oct. 11, 1757 at
Pembroke, Mass. Probably resided at Pittsfield when in
May 1775, he enlisted in Capt. Wm. Lusk's company attached
to Col. Eaton's regiment, later joining Gen. Montgomery's 
army at Crown Point. His enlistment expired
November 1775. He reenlisted in December of the same
year at Sorel and his enlistment expired April 1776,
when he again reenlisted and the army became attached
to Gen. Patterson's brigade. In December 1776 he enlisted
in a company of rangers attached to a Green
Mountain Corps. He was captured by the British at
Bellows Bay. He escaped from the Island of Orleans
during the summer of 1778 and had no more connections
so far as my records show.
Sincerely yours,

examined the Records of Ebenezer Moreley Esqr

entered by him on his Records and by enquiry
I cannot find no one that has any knowledge
of their Marriage Nathaniel Lord Martin Esqr

Dear Sir
I mind yours in proper time
requesting information about Joseph Green
I have carefully examined the records but
cannot find his name mentioned at all, neither
on the book of deeds, words of marriages or 
on the proceeding of the proprietors of the township of that date, but on visiting
 Mr. Isaac Pinney I learned that
 Mr. Joseph Greene served 3 or 4 years
with him in the continental army, was married 
in Stafford County about the year 1780, moved to Royalton immediately
after, bought a lot of land, sold it again
without either receiving or giving a deed, and 
left the town after a residence hereof a few months, the fact Mr. Pinney 
has given to a son in law of Mrs. Green
of Hanover under oath, some time since, and 
says he think there is a record of his marriage in Stafford Con
if not, that it can be further proved by a sister 
of his in Roxbury to by Mr. Benjn Blodgett of Randolph Vt.
I can obtain Mr. Pinneys testimony to these facts, also the officers 
names and company he belong to if you wish
But there is nothing on the records respecting it,
Respectfully yours

of September and October in the same year 1780

served several days at a time. I frequently saw
said Green who was generally out at the same time
that I was and served as long as I did, at the

two weeks, was in the same Regiment but, I

Sir,
The Hon H Hubbard sent me a
copy of a part of a letter recd from you Feby 15. 1839
in relation to the claim of Mrs Jerusha Morey for
pension under the act of July 1836
I have been able to obtain further proof of the
Marriage which was in an old Bible, a part of
which is herewith sent, the year of the Marriage
is written 1708 which will be seen by the dates before
and after to have been a mistake for 1780 by misplacing
the figures, as this agrees with all the affidavits
and also with Genl Stevens; who says in his affidavit
that Joseph Green and family came into Royalton
in June or July 1780, I hope the evidence of the
Marriage will be satisfactory, as it is a good as
can be, where there is no town records.
with regard to the service I wrote to the Secretary
of the State of Vermont his answer is herewith
sent. -- I also send the affidavits of Gen Elias
Stevens who resided in Royalton at the time the
service was performed, knew Green will and saw
him in the service at the time stated. Also
send the affidavit of Israel Brown who also
knew Green well and says that he served at
the time stated more evidence like this would
have been found if necessary, but the fact that
Page 64

Joseph Green served in the Army in October 1780
after his marriage to the applicant Mrs Morey
is as will established as it is possible when there is
no record, Mr Isaac Pinney, Doctor Phineas
Parkhurst, Gen Elias Stevens & Israel Brown
all agree that he was in the service at the
time of the burning of Royalton October 1780, which
was some months after his marriage, they all
state that they were well acquainted with him
and they cannot all be mistaken. Doctor Parkhurst
is now present while I am writing this I have
read to him what I have written, he says he
is still possitive that Green served with him at
the time stated and thinks he served more days
than is stated by the others says he
visited his family as a Physician after he removed
to Hanover, and often converse him about the
burning of Royalton & their being out together
know of no more evidence that can be
obtained and hope what has been sent
will be sufficient to obtain the pension

Lebanon N July 15 1839
J L Edwards Esq.
Sir
Herewith I send my certificate
respecting the Marriage of Joseph Randall to
Judith Bowen as requested in your letter of
June 17, 1839. Absence from home is the reason
it was not sent before-

I received some days since yours of Jun 20th 1839
respecting the case of Mrs. Jerusha Morey formerly
the widow of Joseph Green deceased. you say
that unless one of the terms of service under
Captain Hodges can be established her claim
cannot be allowed. I have sent to the office
of the Secretary of the State of Vermont. but cannot
there obtain any evidence -- in all the cases
that I have been engaged before (and I understood
it to be a regulation adopted by you) where the
service was proved by two or more living witnesses
the claim has been allowed. I can see no reason
why a different course should be adopted in this
case Mrs. Morey has proved by five reputable
persons that her husband served at Royalton
at the time that place was burned by the
Indians in 1780 & after her marriage with Mr
Green. altho at this late period they do not all 
remember under what Captain he served, but they
Page 68

all state that they saw him in the service at this
time, and they all were well acquainted with
him, there are other persons now living in
Vermont, who also served with him, and whose affidavits
can be had if such testimony will answer, but
if nothing will answer but record testimony
and that cannot be had (as there is probably
none such) then the pension cannot be obtained,
it is well known that in all cases of service of
militia, names were frequently left off the pay
roll by reason of carelessness, or by the person not
calling for his pay, which last was probably the case
with Mr. Green, as it seems that he removed
from Royalton soon after the service was performed,
Mrs. Morey has lately deceased, the pension
can now do her no good, but I am anxious
to obtain what would be due at her death
for her only child who has spent what little
property she had in supporting her mother
and in assisting her to get on the pension list
if the testimony of other persons who served
with Mr. Green at Royalton will answer
they can be obtained and forwarded, as
the evidence of the service, that has been sent is from
persons who can have no interest whatever in the
result, I cannot see why they are not believed
I am very Respectfully your mo obt sent

I, Joseph Corey of Hanover NH of lawful age
do depose and say that I have been well acquainted with
the widow Jerusha Morey formerly the
wife of Joseph Green for the last fifteen years
most of which time I have lived in the same
house with her. I further state that some
days since at her request & examined all
the old books and papers in the house, that
had belonged to her late husband the said
Green and among them found an old and 
much worn bible which contain some part of
the family records and which I believe to
be in the hand writing of said Green a part of
said Bible is attached to this affidavit.
I have also compared said writing with some
old books of accounts known to be his and and
confident the hand writing is the same

Elizabeth Corey of Hanover NH wife of the

That I am the Daughter of Joseph Green and
Jerusha Morey who was formerly the wife of said
Green, and aged forty four years. I further state
that I have examined the record in the

this affidavit, and know that the same is
in the hand writing of my Father the said
Joseph Green, and also know that the
same was found among some old rubbish, books
&c that had been for a long time laid away
and I believe the same bible was the one that
I have seen my Father use in his life time
and was then the family Bible & was probably
laid away at the time of the Marriage of my
Mother to Mr Morey, as he had some better one
and had rather use his own
