Sir,
It appears from the evidence in the
case of Mrs. Hannah Horn, and from
the rolls, that there were no less than four
persons living near each other in N.H. du-
ring the revolutionary war by the name of
Ebenezer Horn; to wit:
 Eben'r Horn, a soldier in Titcomb's Co. in 1775.
 Eben'r Horn, Jr. of Dover in Wentworth's Co. in 1775.
 Eben'r Horn, now of Somersworth, in Wentworth's Co.
in 1775, and the father of Eben'r of Dover.
 Eben'r Horn, Junior,  entered the service May 26
1775, and served 7m, 4 days.  Whether the present
claimant was the wife of the son or the father
does not appear.  In the record of the marri-
age in 1782, the Junior is omitted.

A reply to this letter is requested.
Mrs Horn's papers are upon our files.

I am, respectfully,

I Ebenezer Horn of the town of Moultonborough State
of New Hampshire a pensioner of the United States under
the law of 7th June 1832.  Aged eighty four years
depose and say that I was well acquainted with
Ebenezer Horn who resided in Dover New Hampshire
before the Revolutionary War and while in the Army
in Col Enoch Poors Regiment in the Company commanded
by Jonathan Wentworth and the same company that I
belonged to.  Was at Winter hill.  Then to New London, then
went to New York, to Albany & Lake George, [Ticonderoga?]
Crown Point, St Johns, nigh the three Rivers, then 
went back to [Monteral?] to Fort Ann, Then came orders to
retreat and went to St Johns.  I left him in the
service, he then had served eleven months to my knowledge.
He first enlisted for seven Months and at the expiration
he enlisted again for twelve months.  My opinion is that
he was in the Army over two years.  Said Horn has
been dead about thirty years and his widow now resides
in this town.

I enlisted under Capt. Place in Reeds Regiment and marched
to Water Hill there I found said Ebenezer Horn and was
stationed with him all winter.  he was in Poors Regi-

1776 his Regiment went to New York & he went with

Dear sir,
Enclosed you have two affidavits one of which was taken by the Hon G. M. Bean, Member of the last Congress, the other taken by myself; also two certificates from the Secretary of State, the last of which was the service of Ebenezer Horn who is now living and [illegible[  The affidavit enclosed.  The first certificate no doubt gives the true times when Ebenezer Horn (for whose service Widow Hannah Horn claims a pension) entered the Army.
Mrs. Horn informs me that James Burnham of Somersworth was in Jon A. Wentworth's Company and she thinks he is now living.  Nathan Hanson who died at Moultonborough about 18 months past and to whom I paid his widow the back pay and forward this certificate was also in this company as appears by my record of officers.  I name this because I suppose both was on the pension list and you can refer to the declarations.
I do not yet get any good word for Mrs. Cass.  I supposed hers was a good case.
