That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated.
That in Walborough his native place, in the county of Worcester, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, about the 12 th day of August in the year 1776 he enlisted in a company of Massachusetts militia, commanded by one Capt.

Three months had expired, which was sometime in the month of March 1777, when I returned home
That in the month of May in the year 1777 at Westborough I enlisted and served for the period of two months in a company of Massachusetts militia, commanded by one Capt. Fish of Westborough, which company was stationed at said Westborough, to guard continental provision stores, deposited in said town. one Esq. Baker was the commissary. This company company was raised, for no other purpose, than as a guard of the said provisions.
That in the month of July 1777 there came orders to enlist men to go towards Canada, where the British forces were in motion against the American forces, commanded there by General Schuyler. I enlisted in this service and went with Warren and marched to Burlington in the State of Vermont, and after having served in this expedition one month was discharged my discharge was about the time, that Genl. Gates took command of the American Army.
That sometime in the month of March 1778 he enlisted for the term of three months in a company of Massachusetts militia commanded by one Capt.

That in the time of the Revolutionary war I resided in Westborough in the county of Worcester and state of Massachusetts, That I am well acquainted with Moses Warren who then resided also in said Westborough and who now resides in Warrensville in the county of Cuyahoga and state of Ohio That I know of the said Moses Warren's enlisting in the Massachusetts militia about the first of August in the year 1776 for the term of four months in the company of Capt. Menapah Sawyer in Col. Dyer's regiment, that I also enlisted in the said company at the same time and know that the said Moses served out the term for which he enlisted, on and in vicinity of Dorchester heights in the state of Massachusetts. That in the month of December in the same year, the said Moses and myself again enlisted in the company of Capt. Kimball, in Col. Sparhawk's regiment of Massachusetts militia, in Gen. Warner's brigade, and marched to Red Bank in the state of New York from thence to Morristown, New Jersey, at that time the head quarters of Gen. Washington, and from thence marched to Bound Brook and Middlebrook at which places our brigade was stationed until our term of service expires and we were both discharged at Bound Brook in the month of March following. having served three months In the summer of 1778 the said Moses and myself again enlisted as privates in the Massachusetts militia for three months in Capt. Newton's company, and Jonathan Stow was lieutenant, and served with him at Roxbury near Boston the whole term except about two weeks when I was absent, having enlisted into a longer campaign and believe he served out his full time. That sometime in July in the year 1780 the said Moses and myself again enlisted as privates in the Massachusetts militia in Capt. Howe's company, the lieutenant's name was Samuel Brigham, in Col. Wren's regiment. Moses Whelock was lieut. Colonel. and marched to Westpoint where our regiment was stationed and were there when Gen. Arnold deserted and served with the said Moses three months when we were both discharged. That I was a near neighbor to the said Moses, and frequently heard, and have good reason to believe that the said Moses, enlisted and marched to Bennington and served about one

month under Gen. Schyler, when he was discharged, I also know of his being enlisted as a guard over the continental stores in Westborough aforesaid in the year 1778 and believe he served there about two months, I have also heard and believe that the said Moses, enlisted and marched to Rhode Island in 1778 and served there about two months under Gen.

EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____ For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
†QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths 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.
‡QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
¶ In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

Dear Sir:
only "Kings Mountain Men" by K.K.White gives the name of James Tatum who had fought at Kings Mountain and who was pensioned while living in Watauga County, N. C. Will you kindly give me what information you may have in your office regarding him and his family?
The U. S. Census of Revolutionary Pensioners for 1840 gives the name of Moses Warren who was then 80 years old and was living with his son at that time, in Warrensville, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. I would be glad of what ever information you may have on file regarding Moses Warren and his family.
Have you the names of Jacob Harrington and Uzziel Putnam listed in your files of Revolutionary pensioners? Jacob Harrington served in the Rev. War while a resident of Brookfield, Mass. He subsequently removed to New York State and probably died in Otsego County. Uzziel Putnam lived in Wardsboro, Vermont, in 1793. Three years later he removed to Oneida County, N.Y., and in 1807 was living in Adams, Jefferson County, N.Y.
Thanking you for any information received, I remain
