TIMOTHY WARNER R. 11151 BA-J/MLB
Dear Sir:
The data which follow in regard to Timothy Warner were obtained from pension claim, R. 11151, on file, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
Timothy Warner was born in Windham, Windham County, Connecticut, in 1763; the exact date of birth and names of his parents were not stated.
Timothy Warner applied for pension, February 13, 1844, while a resident of Oppenheim, Fulton County, New York, and stated that while he was living in Windham, Scotland Society, Windham County, Connecticut, he enlisted sometime in 1780 and served one month at New London; names of officers and other details of that tour not given; that he enlisted again June 2, 1781, and served not less than five months fifteen days as private in Captain John Vaughan's Connecticut company, that he was stationed during that tour at West Point and that he was discharged sometime after the middle of November, that year.
The soldier's claim for pension was not allowed as he failed to furnish sufficient proof of six months' service in accordance with the requirement of the pension law.
At the age of twenty-two years, Timothy Warner moved to Amenia, Dutchess County, New York; in 1819, he moved to Sharon, Litchfield County, Connecticut, where he remained one and one half years, then back to Amenia and from there to Oppenheim, Fulton County, New York, about 1823, and where he was still living in 1853.
The name of Timothy Warner's wife is not shown in the claim. The only child of the soldier whose name was designated was a son, John Warner who, in 1853, was a resident of Oppenheim, New York. He was

still residing in Oppenheim, New York, June 14, 1856, when he stated that his father was deceased, but did not give the date of his death.
Timothy Warner's brother, Ichabod Warner, in 1844 was aged seventy-four years and residing in Windham, Connecticut. His sister, Rosamond Loomis, born in March, 1773, was living in Windsor, Hartford County, Connecticut, in 1844 and stated that their mother was still living at the close of the Revolutionary War. The name of Rosamond's husband was not given. In the same year, one G. T. Warner was living in Saint Johnsville, New York, six miles from Oppenheim, that state, his relationship to the family was not stated.

Hon J L Edwards Commissioner of Pensions
May it please your Honor, Immediately on the rec d of your last letter through the Hon C Ellis, I immediately sent a messenger to proceed to Hartford Ct if possible to ascertain whether there were any rolls in existence in the Comptrollers office which would establish the claim of Timothy Warner, and with further instructions to proceed to Windham and ascertain if there were yet any living who knew and could testify respecting his Service at New London , (as the old man had given a number of names of persons more than he at first recollected for whom if living we might enquire) the person entrusted with the business went to Hartford, but in consequence of a pressure of business in the Comptrollers office that day, could not obtain the investigation he required, and but a slight and partial examination was made, they told him he should have his turn, and they would go through the search if he would wait, but thinking it better to proceed to Windham and attend to that part of his mission he concluded to defer an examination until a future time, he therefore went to Windham and after two days spent in looking after persons for whom he was directed to enquire he was so fortunate as to find a colored man who was with Timothy Warner both at New London, and at Westport and was ready to give direct testimony, which we hope is all that the War Department requires, The Deposition of Pomp McCuffe I enclose to you in the hope that you will consider his claim proved without the necessity on our part of producing evidence from the rolls of the Connecticut State Troops which rolls rolls we cannot get an examination of and Certificate Short

of two Dollars which in addition to the expense already incurred we should be glad to avoid if in your Honors opinion we have already shown all that the Law requires in order that he may receive his Certificate. The old man is very poor and the expenses made already fall on his friends. I have removed my residence to this place six miles from Oppenheim and any communication may be directed to me at - St Johnsville -
Should your Honor be pleased to consider the Claim of Timothy Warner for a Pension established I shall be happy to convey to him the earliest intelligence of it, if otherwise please communicate

I herewith enclose you a power of attorney in the case of Timothy Warner of New York. It relates to a revolutionary pension. but I rather think from a previous letter in the case the claim is for an invalid pension. as it is stated "in Febry last he rec d a bounty land warrant for 160 acres, and thinks to prove on file that the degree of disability"
I mention this, that the papers may be more easily referred to.

I have the honor to inform you that the papers in the case of Timothy Warner have been exam d . He did He claims for one month's service in 1780 at New London as the substitute of Simon Bundy without naming the officers or adducing any proof whatever — and for 5 mos 15 days in 1781 by draft under Capt Vaughan at West Point —
The last term would appear from the date & length of the term to have been rendered in the Connecticut Line of the Continental army of which there are rolls in this Office at Hartford. The rolls here afford no evidence of his service — unless he can establish both terms he will not show as much as 6 months — The first should be set forth in detail & the Comptn certificate should confirm it before it can be allowed & the other will not be admitted unless it can be traced on the records of the Conn n Line Hon.

Sir. In reply to your reference of enc d Com ee concerning Pensions and Bds to Timothy Warren Com ee Lini Revs. War. I have the honor to inform you that the same was suspended for want of proof of service & information to that effect furnished Hon C. Ellis May 17 th 1844, and to G. T. Warren Oct. 10 th 1844, since which time no further evidence has been received in said claim.
Pensions are not hereditary, and unless the credit  claimant  during his lifetime proves his claim to the same, there is no pension that can be obtained except what may have accrued at death which may be collected by the widow or a minor child under as entitled to 16 years of age.

Madam:
I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim R. 11151 it appears that Timothy Warner was born in 1763 in Windham, Windham County, Connecticut.
He applied for pension February 13, 1844 while living in Oppenheim, Fulton County, New York and stated that while he was a resident of Windham, Connecticut he enlisted in 1780 and served one month at New London, no officers stated, and that in 1781 he enlisted and served as a private for five months and fifteen days under Captain John Vaughan.
His claim was not allowed as he failed to furnish sufficient proof of six months service as required by the pension laws.
The name of his wife is not stated. His son John Warner was a resident of Oppenheim, New York on June 14, 1856 and stated that his father was deceased.
Respectfully,
Commissioner.

In reply to your request of _____, received _____ for a statement of the military history of Timothy Warner a soldier of the REVOLUTIONARY WAR, you will find below the desired information as contained in his (or his widow's) application for pension on file in this Bureau. P. Z. 11,151

Remarks: There is no data relative to soldier's wife, and the only child referred to, John, stated under date of June 14, 1856, that his father was deceased. The pension claim was rejected on acct. of lack of proof of 6 mos service as required by The Act of June 7, 1832 under which he applied. Respectfully,

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter of recent date, in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Timothy Warner of Connecticut or Massachusetts; Daniel Warner of Suffield, Connecticut who, you state, served also in the Colonial Wars in 1758 from Westfield, Massachusetts; Abner Warner and Roswell Warner both of whom served from Connecticut or Massachusetts; also the War of 1812 record of Asher Warner who was killed by the British in the battle of Sodus Point, New York.
This office has no record of service rendered in the Colonies prior to the Revolutionary War, therefore, no record of service which may have been rendered by a Daniel Warner in the Colonial Wars.
The Revolutionary War and War of 1812 pension records have both been searched and no claim for pension found based upon service in the Revolution of Abner and Roswell Warner, or any claim for pension based upon service in the War of 1812 of Asher Warner.
You are furnished herewith records of soldiers named Daniel and Timothy Warner which, it is hoped, will aid you in your research.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Abner Warner, Daniel Warner who was born June 30, 1729 in Suffield, Connecticut, and died September 1, 1814 in Granville, Massachusetts, Roswell Warner, Timothy Warner, who was born about 1760 and died January 25, 1835, also, the record of Asher Warner who was killed in service in the War of 1812.
Another search of the Revolutionary War records has been made in your behalf and no claim for pension found based upon service of the Daniel Warner cited above. As stated in letter to you dated September 14, 1938, there is no claim for pension on file based upon service of an Abner Warner or of a Roswell Warner. The record of Timothy Warner (R. 11151) which was furnished you then is that of the only soldier with that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this office. There is no claim for pension on file based upon service or death in the War of 1812 of an Asher Warner.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.
