I Daniel Page aged Seventy two years now of Hampton in the county of Grafton & State of New Hampshire depose & say that soon after the law of 1818 in favor of revolutionary pensioners I obtained a certificate from the pension office entitling me to ninety five dollars annual pension _ that the witnesses of my service were Daniel Cook, Lemuel Mason Neal Cate & John Smith_ I was assisted in obtaining my pension by the Hon John Mooney & by William B. Kelly_ that I gave said Kelly for his services in writing a note for eight Dollars which I was to pay to him in case I foundered in obtaining my pension otherwise as I was poor I was not to pay him anything - afterwards afterwards & before I learned
the fate of my application Kelly called on me & said he wanted a small spinning wheel for one of his daughters who was about marrying & told me I should certain
by and [illegible] in my application & urged me to furnish the wheel, towards the eight dollar note - of one of my neighbors who was a wheelmaker I made shifts to procure
one at the price of twenty shillings & let them have it the promised to allow it on the note -afterwards he called on me and wanted a dollar - said he had nothing to pay his expenses was away from
home & teazed me till I borrowed a Dollars &
-
Page 24

let him have its- this he was to put onto the [illegible]
I afterwards on receiving my pension went to call on him + pay the balances of the rest my way not a man to whom he has sold the rote without undoing anything. I had paid him + I had the whole to pay over again. Afterwards, said Kelly called on me + wanted me to pay him something more as he was poor + I had got a pension + he had assisted me to get it. I told him he had got more than I agreed to give him for his assistance + had wronged me out of the dollar + price of the wheel- he insisted I should give him something more + threatened me if I did not- demanded fifty dollars of me + said if I did not pay to he would get me struck off. I refused to pay him anything. I learned by this that he was threatening to get me pension [illegible] if I did not pay him fifty dollars. I did not suppose he had power of injuring me. I knew I was entitled to the pension + that he was not entitled to receive anything of me + refused to pay him anything more than I had done + did not pay him not long afterwards, anything. I heard nothing more from him + suspected no mischief till the time of receiving from the agent at Portsmouth
Page 25

same round when I just for my pay + learned that my pension was stopped- + I did no more- I could not learn for what reason I was stuck from the roll I had no communication from the war department + never even found out how my pension was taken away by whose agency or on what grounds. I was poor + did not know what to do or where to enquire. Kelly soon after this hung himself + I had no opportunity to see him + learn whether he had any agency in it. Since his death I have been told that he boasted that he had got me off by lying + I have had no doubt he did but could not tell [illegible] names he can, [illegible] soon there after this I made several attempts to get restored but without success. I had offered all the evidence I knew of in the first place. I endeavored to find the officer who objected me Robert Wilkins who was a Lieut in the services + acting commandant at the time of my discharge- the commanding officer being absent at the [illegible]. I tried to find him + [illegible] supposed he was dead + heard nothing of him until June the passage of the law of June 1832- I was written to by a gentleman from Concord in the
Page 26

this state who was assisting the soldiers in getting pensions + went to Concord forty miles to see him + he told me Wilkins was alive + was in Boston + he would get his testimony of my service- what I understood he did do + I was put again upon the pension lists- I further say that there never existed to my knowledge + in my belief any reason whatever in truth or justice for my being stricken off as I was + I believe it was done by falsehood of fraud enacted upon the War Department + upon me- + by Kelly as I supposed + to avenge himself on me for refusing to pay him what he endeavored to extort from me- I further say that I should have obtained the testimony of Lieut. Wilkins at an early period after I was deprived of my pension had I been able to learn where he was or that he was alive- + that I have sent all the diligence + all the names in my power to get restored to my pension + that I have made no delay in obtaining my restoration more than I was obliged to by my poverty and old age having no friends to assist or direct me

We the subscribers Select men of the Town of Holderness in the County of Grafton & State of New Hampshire for the present year do hereby certify that we have been severally well acquainted for several years last past with Daniel Page of said Holderness who has been a Revolutionary Pensioner of the United States
and whose payment has long been suspended in consequence as we understand of certain charges against his alleged service
Having been represented at the War Office.— and we further certifyed  that it ever has been and now is fully our opinion and that it is the general opinion in the Town where we & the said Page reside that the information above alluded to was given to the War Department by some evil mind- unprincipaled [unprincipled] Person with a view to injure & distress the said Page and no other
reason and that we have never had any good reason to doubt in any respect but the said Page did actual serve & was regularly
discharged as he has set forth and we so believe from all the
information we have had in the case since the  suspension of the
payment of the said Pages Pension that he was at the time he
applyed [applied] for and obtained his Pension Certificate justly & honestly entitled to the same agreeably to the Laws of the United States and we further certify that we have heard that certain Wm B Kelly late of New Hampton in said State who assisted
the said Page in arranging his papers to obtain his Pension & who committed suicide, by hanging a short time after the suspension
of said Pages Pension did threaten to write to Washington get his name stricken from the list unless the said Page paid him
$50 for getting him on the list after the said Page had paid have according to agreement & we believe the said Page ought
to be restored to his former pension—

Sir
I now write you in behalf of a very Poor Man in my neighborhood by name of Daniel Page of Holderness County of Grafton + State of New Hampshire. He is wholly destitute of property and depends upon the labour of his hands for his living. He was out in the Revolutionary War as a Private soldier agreeable to his declaration now in the possession of the War department and supports by the evidence of four witnesses who testified that said Page served nine months or more at one time as a soldier in said War- Upon said Pages declaration + the evidence as aforesaid he the said Page was enrolled as a Pensioner by his Certificate dated Cert 31 AD 1822 will appear under that sertificate he received two payments when the payment of his pension was suspended. One William B Kelly was the agent that procured said pages known enrollment. And because said Page would not give said Kelly about all the money that he the said Page drew the first year, said Kelly swore he would have said Page removed as a Pensioner. And soon after the payments of Pages Pension were suspended and have remained so to this time. Page supposed + it is the opinion of the neighborhood that said Pages removal as a  Pensioner was caused by the misrepresentations of said Kelly.
Said Kelly was known here to be a notorious + accomplished villain
Page 52

and we do hope that statements coming from such a some + for such an avowed object will be thrown away as entitled to no further notice and that said Page may be entitled to pension again.
Dan Page is now a very old infirm man, and being withal very ignorant, he suffered his suspension sometime to remain unnoticed partly through intimidation of said Kellys threats + partly from being ignorant what course it was necessary for him to take, not having any particular friends to assist him. He however applied to War department in October 1820 by Mr Nurse for information. He received a letter dated October 21 1820 from said department notifying him of his removal in consequence of certain charges refuting his alleged service and requesting the testimony of two witnesses of the time of his entering + leaving the army as well of the Company + Regiment. Some of the witnesses who testified before in his case are now dead. I have seen some of them + they say (particularly Lemuel B Mason) that they have no doubt that said Page served in the army nine months or more at one time but cannot tell now from the length of time that has elapsed since what a time said Page entered or left the Army. It is of the opinion of this neighborhood that said Page ought to have his pension + it as at heir request as well as said Pages that I now write you. If any evidence of said Pages service shew [illegible] is well if the witnesses who have before testified together with his declarations + also that of said Kelly who procured Pages removal would do any good we should be extremely happy to furnish it, as it would thereby in some degree remove the sorrows of a poor old man and gratify the feelings of his neighbours.
Please to inform us what course under such circumstances we must take to entitle
Page 53

said Page to his Pension- and you will thereby much oblige him myself + his neighbors
Your respectfully

I Jeremiah Hadley of Holderness in the County of Grafton & State of New Hampshire, do hereby testify that I have been well acquainted with Daniel Page of said Holderness for fifteen years last past. The said Page being the same person whose name was inscribed on the Pension list Roll of the New Hampshire Agency in conformity with the Laws of the United States of the 18th of March 1818 and 1st of May 1920, at the rate of eight Dollars per month agreeably to his certificate bearing date at the War Office of the United States, the 31st day of October 1822, and whose Pension was afterwards suspended by reason, (as I have always understood) of certain changes having been presented to the War Department against his alleged service by an William B. Kelly late of New Hampton in the County of Strafford + State aforesaid, and that the said changes were by the said Kelly suffered against the said Page, without the least foundation of truth, I have no doubt. During the whole of my acquaintance with the said Page, he has ever sustained a good reputation for truth + veracity, and has always been very poor, possessing no property, real or personal, excepting a few articles of household furniture of small value, that he is infirm from old age and disease and unable to support himself by labor and in the opinion of this deponent is justly entitled to receive the amount of Pension that would him due to him during the the suspension of his Pension.

Dear Sir
The enclosed Papers of Mr Page I send to you by his request, he said he had some talk with you about this himself some years since and that you would assist him. The case appears to me to be very clear. If the proof now produced is not satisfactory to the War Department that Page did serve as he deposeth and that the charges against his alleged service can alltogether without foundations in truth he cannot get any other proof by a contemporary in service, the Present witness is now (if living) on his death bed + the former witness all dead. I can get 20 men in Holderness New Hampshire to certify that they heard Kelley threaten to get Page off the Pension List if he did not pay him $50 and this near the time his Pension was suspended, and almost every person who knew him will testify that he was a very big villian Esqr. Nicholas M Taylor of New Hampton was in my room this day and told me that he knew Kelley to make a poor man in New Hampton pay him $45 for assisting him in his Pension benefits + this he done by threatening to get his Pension stopt unless he paid that sum. If any further proof is wanted that can be obtained I will forward it but I think this must be sufficient. And that the Secr, if War will put him on the list + back to 1824- 
Sir I wish you would see the Secr. n this thing as soon as convenient + make me a return- the old Gentleman is poor + very feeble.

Sir
In reply to the enquiry contained in your letter to Mr. Morse respecting the case of Daniel Page, I have to inform you that his name was suspended in consequence of Certain charges respecting his alleged service  If he will prove by the testimony of two credible witnesses that he served as set forth in his declaration there will I think be no difficulty in removing the suspension of the payment of his pension.  The witnesses must set forth in their affidavits the time of his entering the service and the time and manner of his leaving it as well as the regiment company and line to which he was attached
The Magistrate who may administer the oath, must Certify to the Credibility of the witnesses, and the Official Character and signature of the Magistrate must be Certified by the proper Officer under his seal of Office.

Your letter of the 14th instant has been received.  Daniel Page's pension was stopt in 1824 because the evidence as to his service was considered to too doubtful a character to be relied on.  If he can prove his service by two persons known to be respectable he may perhaps get his name restored to the Pension List.

Sir,
At your request, I hereby certify to you that Daniel Page of New Hampshire was placed on the pension roll on the 31st of October 1922, that his name was dropt from the roll on the 6th of January 1824, because it was found on a review of his case that the proof of his service was not in strict accordance with the rules of evidence presented in cases where the applicant's name does not appear on the records of Military Service. He was restored to the pension list on the 8th of October 1832, on the production of the testimony of a commissioned officer, who deposed particularly as to Page's service. A letter was sent to the War Department, alleging that he did not serve as set forth in his declaration, but as I do not find such a paper among the caveats on file, I presume that it was not considered evidence against Page, but that it merely led to a revisal of his case. The Clerk who was in 1824 particularly charges with the business of writing letters in such cases is now dead. I am not able therefore to be more positive in the matter. His pay ceased on the 4th. Sept. 1832 the
Page 67

pay-day preceding the period when the pension was stopt and it recommenced on the 14th of August 1832. The rule of evidence alluded to in the certificate will be found on the 3rd page of Congressional Documents, No. 59, first session 19th Congress, House of Representatives

To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled - Humbly Sheweth.  Daniel Page of Holdings, in the county of Merrimack and State of New Hampshire.  That, in the year 1822, his name was inscribed on the Pension list Roll of the New Hampshire Agency, at the rate of Eight dollars per month agreeably to the acts of Congress of the 18th of March 1818 and 1st of May 1820.  that at the time he made application for a Pension, being himself ignorant of the proper method of procedure in such cases, he employed a man named Wm. B Kelley to assist him, and agreed with the said Kelley to pay him & did pay him as compensation for said services $8 - that after he received his Pension certificate, the said Kelly demanded of him the sum of $50 in addition to the $8 which he had received; that your Petitioner refused to ^pay the $50 & that the said Kelley said if he did not pay him the $50 he would cause his Pension to be suspended and that the said Kelley was frequently heard to threaten to get his Pension stopped if he did not pay the $50 as above; and your Petitioner further represents that, in 1824, he was notified of the suspension of his Pension.  that by his request, a friend of his wrote to the War Department asking the reason of the suspension.  Mr Edwards replied that the suspension was in consequence of information having been received at the Department.  that he did not serve as he had told & that if he could prove to the satisfaction of the Department that he did serve as he had set forth in his declaration for the purpose of obtaing [obtaning] the Pension above mentioned his name might probably be restored to the Pension list.  This ^he was unable to do.  the witness who testified to his services when he first applied for a Pension being all dead.  & he knew of no person living who could testify to his service.  that in August 1832 he heard of the Officer who discharged him who was then living in the City of Boston but since dead.  that he obtained the Officers Affidavit, testifying fully to his service & that he was honorabley discharged.  he also obtained the Affidavit of the Selectman of the town where your Petitioner then & now resides, stating that the said Kelley had often been heard to threaten to stop his Pension as above represented; all which proof is now in the War Office.
That on the Production of the evidence above mentioned, his name was restored to the Pension List commencing on the 14th day of August 1832.  your Petitioner now prays that he may be allowed the amount that would have been due to him, during the suspension of his Pension—
