Petition of Frederick Ware
to be restored to Pension List

When a decision shall be had on this Petition, the Hon. Secretary of War is respectfully requested to transmit the result to the Petitioner addressed to the care of Benjamin Swan Esq. Woodstock, Vt.
Page 48

To the Hon. the Secretary of War
The Petition of Frederick Ware of Pomfret i the County of Windsor and State of Vermont, a soldier of the army of the revolution and late pensioner humbly sheweth:-
That heretofore to wit on the twenty third day of June A.D. 1823 he made his declaration of his services and exhibited the schedule of his effects and a statement accounting for the diminution of his property, which representation was made for the purpose of procuring his restoration to the pension list and that he has received notice from the War Department that he cannot be restored to the list as has not satisfactorily accounted for the decrease of his property.
Your petitioner begs leave to suggest that he has been by profession a physician but for the last eleven years has not been able to attend to professional business and has been without any occupation or means of obtaining a livelihood, by his own exertions. That during the most of that time his two daughters Nella Ware and Nancy Ware have been employed in the manufacture of straw bonnets, the said Nella Ware having been of age since AD. 1803, the said Nancy having been of age since AD 1805.
that much of the means from which the support of his family has been derived have been procured by a sale of the bonnets manufactured by his daughters and that the amount due to them before the time of the exhibition of his said schedule was
Page 49

truly and bona fide as therein stated viz to Nelda Ware two hundred and fifty dollars and eight cents, to Nancy Ware one hundred and ninety four dollars and forty cents. That this petitioner was at the time aforesaid indebted to sundry other persons in the amount stated in said schedule & that there was due to the other creditors of this petitioner sums to the amount of one hundred ninety four dollars and fifty two cents; that the said Nella Ware became obliged to pay of the above debts the sum of one hundred fifty five dollars and fifty two cents, which with the sums due to her and Nancy Ware amounted to six hundred Dollars for which this petitioner sold and conveyed to the said Nella Ware his real estate which was never valued at any more than six hundred Dollars and was not of that value at that time and that said Nella Ware has become accountable to pay and has paid already more of said debts.
Your petitioner refers to his statement already exhibited to the War Department, fully conscious that his property has been disposed of only for purpose of paying his debts and those too contacted for his support. and your petitioner in the event of not being restored to the pension roll has no prospect of support but from public charity.
Your petitioner therefore prays that his case may be taken into consideration by the Department and that if any doubt should remain as to the right of the petitioner to be restored to the pension list, your petitioner may be informed that obstacles are in the way, as he believes he can satisfy the Department that he has disposed of his propery in good faith
Page 50

for the payment of the claims of his creditors and those claims founded on a credit given him for articles furnish for his support.

And that the brothers and sisters of the family with himself were one and all of them fully satisfied with his conveyance to her of his estate of its fairness and justice.

This certifies that the subscriber has resided in Pomfret upwards of twenty years in the immediate vicinity of Dr. Frederick Ware, and is well acquainted with the estate or land which he sold to his daughter Mella Ware. Said land, part of which is called house or acre lots in the original survey of the town, is mostly of a poor quality being uneven & rocky, remote from mills or any place of business, and not adjoining a road of much travel. I think that said farm could not be estimated at any more, if so much, as the consideration in the deed from said Dr. to said Mella and I have no knowledge of any unfairness nor have I reason to suspect any in the conveyance attended to above.

Dear Sir,
I am joining the D. A. Rs and hear that my great great grand mother Jermina Manning Ware-wife of Frederick Ware drew a pension. This Frederick Ware was born I believe at Wrentham Mass, but was after the war Dr. at Pomfret. I understand that he was assistant surgeon but held rank of private only. Could I get more sort of a record from you as to this (illegible) I do not know if Frederick W. ever had a pension but have only heard that his wife did. If I could get a copy from you of the fact that a pension  was granted for service in the Rev. War
Page 90

it would verify my claim to become a member.
Will you tell me too if I could find from the War. Dept. or where of the service of two other ancestors on my other side of my family. viz. Col. Hoyt and Col. John Griffin.
If there is any expense with records I'd like to obtain I gladly send same if you will let me know.
One more thing--I just found out I have two full cousins employed in Washington in Gov. Dept. viz Charles

and John Worsten Hubbard. Could you tell me where I could direct a letter that they would reach.

Dear sir,
We have been instructed that it is necessary to make application to you for the official record in the War department of those of our ancestors who were in the Revolutionary War in order to establish our claim as their descendants of being legally entitled to become members of the Society of the Sons and Daughters of the Revolution. 
First Col. Winslow Adams-We have the record that he was
Page 93

killed at the battle of Stillwater, Bemis Heights-Saratoga N. Y.
Second his son Col. Samuel Winslow Adams. We have the record that he died in 1782 aged 42 but nothing more. His widow lived in Boston in her old age with a daughter, Daniel Connor our grandfather-married another daughter and lived in Exeter, N.H. died about 1860 aged over ninety years. And some of his grandchildren remember his telling them of his carrying dispatches as a spy when young from Boston to Concord, N. H.
Any facts concerning the above mentioned persons will be greatly received,
Page 94

Third-another ancestor of our family was
Frederick Ware born in Wrentham Mass., Sept. 1760. We have the record that he was an attendant or assistant of Dr. Hawes of Foxboro, Mass. Surgeon in Rev. War.
After the war Fred. Ware settled in Pomfret, Vermont and practiced medicine and died in 1832. His widow drew a pension from government until her death in 1850.
Fourth-Benjamin Thompson settled in Pomfret Vermont but died in Royalton Vt. He lost an eye in the Rev. War but never would accept a pension as he was otherwise uninjured.
