Sir

With this you with receive the app(lications)
of Moses and Samuel M. Senter to the character of John Glines, former husband of Sarah Hutchins, as a Revolutionary soldier, and the children by John Glines now living and that
she had no children by John Hutchins

They are the only persons to be found now
who resided in the neighborhood of said John
Glines in the time of the Revolutionary War
of the first respectability and intelligence, except her brother, Robert Sanborn, whose affidavit was sent with her declaration, in which he says, that John Glines was out a number of times in that war, but does not remember who he served under nor where he was except at Bunker hill in 1775    he also states that he was the only John Glines  who resided in Moultonborough during the Revolutionary war or afterwards until he had a son named John Betsey Furguson his sister, testifies much
the same -

The certificate of Bradbury Richard &
Nathaniel Sanborn selectmen of Moultonborough, shows that John Glines ( & others) were in the army in 1775 & 1776, and ask an allowance to Moultonborough the amount of their fall tax--
Page 28

Capt(ain)  Nathaniel Ambrose in whose company John Glines served at Stillwater in 1777, was of Moultonborough, as the copy of the caption to his company roll, now on your files will show

The order John Glines gave Nathan Hoyt,
for his wages at the west in 1780, under Lieut(enant) John Adams and the order on the the Treasurer to pay that amount to Nathan Hoyt, all shew the parties to be of Moultonborough-

The affidavits of the Sisters & Jane Glines prove that she had no children by Hutchins and the children now living by said John Glines

The day of her death by the copy from Town records by W. H. H. Mason Clerk (blotted out --of said) Moultonborough 

I trust this will be satisfactory and that you will feel justified in forwarding the certificate for twenty months service

With this you will receive the declaration of Jacob Glines, asking for himself and those children of Sarah Hutchins by her first
husband, John Glees, a pension under the
act of July 4th 1836 and the act explanatory
thereof passed March 3rd 1837

The certificate of Abner Adams Town Clerk
of Moultonborough that the marriage of John
Glens to Sarah Sanborn is not recorded on
the town book

The original certificate of Nathan Hoyt town
Clerk of Moultonborough of their publish
ment dated Feb(ruar)y 5th 1777 & the filing on the back identified as the hand writing of the
Reverend Porter by the affi(davi)t of Benjamin R  Page shows the marriage to have been solemnized on the 6th day of same Feb(ruar)y 1777 to which Robert Sanborn testified who saw the (lined out-- saw the) marriage

To prove the service of the said John Glines in 1775 a copy of Capt(ain) Claugh's pay roll
is annexed and a copy of John Glines
receipt to Tim(othy) Walker for his Regimental
coat dated in Oct(ober) 1775 all which is supported and the identified  by aff(idavi)t of Robert Sanborn and
Page 30

the certificate of Bradbury Richards & Nath(anie)l Ambrose, Selectmen of  Moultonborough dated Dec(ember)
21st 1776 - stating that John Glines & others were in the army  from Moultonborough in 1775 &  1776

A copy from Capt(ain)  Gavins pay roll
shows that John Glines engaged Feb(uary) 1st
1776 - Mustermaster Achenead's certificate dated Montreal April April 25th 1776 Adjutant Hubbards certificate dated June 24th 1776 and
Moses Lieuter?s  affidavit serves to justify a claim for at least ten months service in Capt(ain) Gavins? Co(mpany) in Bedels Reg(imen)t in 1776 - including the
the time he was detained a prisoner-

Capt(ain) Nath(anie)l Ambrose roll shows John Glines was in his Comp(an)y at Saratoga one month & eight days in 1777 from September 30th 

The order he gave Nathan Hoyt for his pay
a soldier at the west in 1780 under Lieut(enant)
John Adams, and the order of M. Weare Register shews that his pay in that campaign was L1-14-6  (1 pound, 14 shillings, 6 pence)

I think the evidence will justify an allowance 
for service as follows
In 1775   mo(nths)    days
                   6             --

Yours of the 10th instant stating that further
evidence should be adduced to know the day of the death of Sarah Hutchins former widow of John Glines also further evidence of the identity  of John Glines with the service mentioned in the certificate of the Secretary of N.(ew)H.(ampshire) shewing that he was the only man of that name in Moultonborough capable of bearing arms in the time of the Revolutionary War

I believe the affidavits of Mr Sanborn
and Mrs Furguson, brother and sister of
Mrs Hutchens do prove that John Glines was
the only man of that name who resided in
Moultonborough at the time of the Revolution
or afterwards until he had a son named
John-- his being married on the 6th day
of Feb(ruar)y. 1777, I thought was a (lined out-he) sufficient identity of his being the man who performed the service-- of the day her death & the children now living, further proof will be forwarded she had no children by her second marriage -

I should be glad to know if I am right in

I Benning M. Bean hereby certify that I was born in Moultonboroug(h) N.(ew) H.(ampshire) & have always lived there until the Spring of 1843.   I have been well acquainted with the
Inhabitants of said Town, I knew one John Glines who was reputed to have been a Revolutionary Soldier   he married Sarah Sanborn, who after his death married John Hutchins.   After the death of said Hutchins she was the widow Sarah Hutchins   I have seen
& have examined the Rolls of the New Hampshire Troops in the service during the Revolution & there find the name of John Glines & I have no doubt it is the same
John Glines who was the first Husband of the widow Sarah Hutchins - I have never known any other John Glines in Moultonborough who was old enough to do military service in the time of the Revolution,
I have often heard him speak of the incidents of the service, especially of the taking of Burgoin (Burgoyne).   I have from Boyhood been acquainted with Moses Senter Samuel M. Senter & Robert Samborn, & they have
always sustained good characters. I further certify that I have been one of the Selectmen & overseer of the Poor in Moultonborough for some twenty years, that I have been Representative from said Town in the State
Legislature. Senator & Counsellor, & that I am the same Benning M. Bean that was member of Congress from N(ew).H(ampshire). from 1833 to 1837- The Rolls that I have examined purport to be the Rolls of the
Page 37

Company of Capt(ain) Clough in 1775, of Capt(ain) Green 1776 & Capt(ain) Ambrose 1777 & I find the name of John Glines
all of them.    I have also seen the Copy of an order of John Glines on the Treasurer of the State of New Hampshire for his wages for service performed in 1780 in the Company of Lieut(enant) John Adams & have no doubt it
is the same John Glines before mentioned
of Moultonborough   I never knew any other
Widow Hutchins than the one I have described as the wife of the said John Glines, in Moultonborough

I have no recollection of seeing on the Town Books of Moultonborough the name of John Glines or any other name as a Revolutionary Soldier. I have often taxed said Glines as a Citizen of Moultonborough

No person is found who was in the service with John Glines, although much time and money have been bestowed in the attempt-- The town records have been examined and the certificate of the town Clerk and Selectmen now forwarded shew, that, but one John Glines is found taxed in Moultonborough during the Revolutionary war nor for many years after - this with the certificate of the Hon(orable). Benning M. Bean, formerly representative in Congress from this State, and for twenty years one of the board of Selectmen and overseer of the Poor for said Moultonborough, that he had often taxed said Glines, and never knew any other man of that name to reside in said Moultenborough and that he was the first husband of Mrs. Hutchins will, I trust be sufficient to identify him as the John Glines who served in the Revolution as certified by the Secretary of N(ew). H(ampshire) . in Capt(ain). Clough, Capt(ain). Green, Capt(ain). Ambrose and Lieut(enant) John Adams
companies in 1775, 1776, 1777, 1780.-

Allow me to call your attention to the evidence
previously forwarded, to the service of John Glines in Capt(ain). Green's comp(an)y in 1776, at the Cedars, where Capt(ain). Green's company were taken & detained as prisoners &c  and to the additional affidavit of Moses Senter now forwarded and to the extract from Capt. Green's account with the State of New Hampshire for 1776,
Page 39

and the certificate of Bradbury Richardson & Nathaniel Ambrose Selectmen of  Moultonborough, dated Decr 21st, 1776-- Moses Senter says he is very certain that John Glines did not return from that service until late in the fall, there was snow on the ground, he thinks it must have been as late as Nov(embe)r

Capt. Green charges the State for wages from January 22d to October 7th 1776, eight and a half months and from October 7th to Dec(ember) 31st 1776 two months and twenty four days-- making the whole time eleven months and about two thirds of a month for that campaign---this shews that Capt(ain). Green was allowed from the time of his engagement to the end of the year and furnishes fair ground to assume that the soldiers were allowed about the same length of time and that Senter  is correct in his recollection of Glines being absent ten months and that ten months service should be allowed in this case for that campaign in Bedells
Reg(imen)t 

I forward the copies of orders to four Soldiers
for their wages in the western service in 1780, each being 1-14-6 (1 pound 14 shillings 6 pence)  the same amount that the Treasurer
was ordered to pay John Glines for his wages in the western service in 1780 - besides I forward a copy of the order to pay Lieut(enant). John Adams 4 - 14 -6 for wages
in the western service in 1780.   he was commander of the detachment.   John Glines says in his order on the Treasurer to pay his wages for his service at the
West in 1780, "and under Lieut(enant). John Adams of---
Page 40

Moultonborough,
I hope with these copies before you, you will feel justified in finding the length of this service by a computation at the rate of forty shillings per month and if I am right in my computation the length pf that service was twenty six days

Allow me again to ask an allowance in this case 
of 7 (months) 10 (days)- in 1775 - 10 (months) in 1776 - 1 (months) 8 (days) in 1777 & 26 days in 1780 - total 19 mo(nths) & 14 days

At the request of the Heirs of Mrs. Glines I am
disposed to forward you the Declaration of Sarah Glines-

The fact is Mrs Glines died in June 1842 & would have been entitled to a pension under the law of last August-- Her Declaration was made as appears before Judge Simpson, and before I had finished the further testimony to meet her case, I was advised that she had been
married since the death of Mr Glines and I have remained silent in her case-- She would undoubtedly be entitled to a pension if living. Please say if any thing further can be done.   I have incurred expense and the heirs are all poor

With the greatest respect
I am your Ob(edient) Ser(vant).
