Dear Sir
You wish me to state to you in a letter where my late husband Israel Glines performed his service in the revolutionary war. That I can do without much trouble. The first place where he served was Winter Hill now call'd Bunker Hill under Capt. Moses Eastman about six weeks in 1775. Some of the men which went with him were the following, Eben Virgin Richard Potter John Virgin Chandler Lovejoy, &c. The next place where he served was Barington but I can't recollect the name of the capt under which he served at Barington but I can recollect the names of some of the men who served with him at this place. Benjamin Ambrose, Anthony Potter Wm Syms. This Sims got wounded in battle and Mr. Glines staid two weeks and took care of him after the battle. The next place where he served was White Plains New York. Philbrick Bradley John Carter Jonathan [illegible] &c went with him but I don't recollect exactly about the name of the capt. These men that I have named were all from Concord, N.H. I knew them all very well. I don't know as I can tell you any more particulars which will be of any use to you. Yours &c.

Dear Sir
I herewith forward the information which was furnished by the pension department in answer to a letter from me as Mrs Mary Glines first agent in her pension claim, in order to show the length of time since the department requested us to show to their satisfaction that Mrs Mary Glines (widow of Israel Glines deceased) was still living, which was complied with in due time.
And as it has been more than usual time for an answer, or a certificate in said case, Mrs. Mary Glines is anxious to have her pension claim finally decided upon, it being an account of revolutionary service and her husband once being a pensioner of Maine, pensioned by the W.S. she thinks she is entitled by the several acts and by a late resolve of Congress in behalf of all cases as hers. And she respectfully  requests the pension department to do her justice in her case for she is old, poor in the comforts of life, and much infirm and wishes for the necessary money to obtain relief, and as it will hasten the
Page 33

necessary assistance in the wants of Mrs Glines by obtaining a pension I hereby respectfully request the department to forward said certificate to me as her first and only agent in her claim for a pension. Please answer soon as possible at North Pownal Me to the subscriber

For a further proof to you of the fact that I am the only Attorney in the said Mary Glines case I will refer you to my former letter and are under date of the 24th of March 1848, as referred to in your letter here with inclosed.

of the Revolution and am now a pensioner of the United States.
I was a resident of this town in which I was born, at the time
of the Revolution, and was acquainted with Israel Glines, then of Concord. Said Glines was a soldier of the Revolution and served with me for the term of three months in the State of New York in the year
1776. He served together at that time in a company commanded
by Capt. Benjamin Emery, raised as a reinforcement to the Continental army. He marched first to a place called Horse Neck in
the State of New York. He afterwards went to White Plains and
remained for some time. The service to which I have refered. when
I served with Israel Glines under Capt. Emery, commenced in
September and ended in the month of December 1776, and was
what was called a three months service. At its close, I was
discharged and returned home. Glines was discharged, but I do not
remember whether he returned with me or not to Concord.
said Israel Glines was afterwards a resident of Concord, and
moved off into the State of Maine. He lived in Concord with
one Eben or Ebeneze begin, by whom he was brought up

Sir,
The additional papers forwarded by you
in the case of Mary Glines serve to establish a service of 13 days under Capt. Elkins
in 1775, instead of 1 month and 15 days, as initially claimed by and allowed claimant's husband. They establish, also a service of 3 months under
Capt. Emery in 1776, and 8 days under Captain
Webster in 1777- making altogether only 3 months
and 21 days which we would be justified in
allowing the other ten certified to, not
having been claimed by the husband of the
applicant, it is fair to be presumed were
not rendered by him, but by some other
person of the same name.
Wrily {wryly], therefore, it can be known that
a greater amount of service than that as
established can be sustained a pension cannot
be granted.
