In the matter of Willard Warren,

State of New York
Lewis County ss On this sixteenth day of September in the Year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and twenty eight personally appeared in Open Court Nowit in the Court of Common Pleas held at the Court house in the town of Martinsburgh in and for the County of Lewis the same being a Court of Record in & for said County proceeding according to the course of the Common Law with a jurisdiction unlimited in point of amount keeping a record of its proceedings and possessing a Seal Willard Warren President in said County aged Seventy three Years who being first duly sworn according to Law doth on his Oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the provision made by the Acts of Congress of the 18 th March 1818 and the 1 st of May 1820 that he the said Willard Warren enlisted as a private in the Company commanded by Captain Enoch Chapin in the Regiment commanded by Colonel Porter (his first name not known) and in the line of the State of Massachusetts on the Continental Establishment that he enlisted for the term of one Year in or about the month of March in the Year 1776 that he continued to serve in said Corps for more than nine months from the time he enlisted as aforesaid & until Lieutenant Samuel Day of said Company (to whom he was written returned home on a furlough on account of his being sick & took the said Willard Warren home with him to wait upon him, where the said Willard Warren continued with the said Lieutenant at Wilberham in the State of Massachusetts until his term of enlistment (that is to say one Year) expired and of course

discharged from service as he was never called upon to do farther duty, that he hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension except the present that his name is not on the roll of any State except the State of Massachusetts and that the following are the reasons for not making earlier Application for a pension because he did not know until about two Years since that he was by the laws of Congress entitled to a pension & he thought he could maintain himself, that about a Year since he did make application to the war department for a pension but not having proved his enlistment and service by two disinterested witnesses his papers were returned & nothing done in the premises that since said application he has procured the testimony of two disinterested witnesses, the cause of delay since that time has been principally for want of means to procure said testimony there being no witnesses nearer to his knowledge than the two witnesses he has obtained & their depositions attached hereto.
And in pursuance of the act of the 17 th May 1820 I do solemnly swear that I was an ardent citizen of the United States on the 14 th day of March 1818 and that I have not since that time by gift sale or in any manner disposed of my property or any part thereof with intent thereby so to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an act of Congress entitled an act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary War passed on the 18 th day of March 1818 and that I have not nor has any person in trust for me any property or securities contracts or debts due to me nor have I any income other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed and by me subscribed

(necessary clothing and bedding excepted) and that the amount of my creditors by me subscribed and hereto annexed is in all respects just and true.
And I do further swear that I was seventy three Years of age last February that I am by occupation a farmer & that I am unable to pursue my occupation sufficient to support myself and family by reason of my age, and a disease with which I have been Afflicted for several Years past and am now occasionally called the piles, I have Residing with me in my family my wife Lois Wadsworth, she is the only one depending upon me for support she is about sixty nine Years of age and very infirm by reason of a nervous complaint & is hence unable to do but little.
And I do further swear that since the 14 th of March 1818 the following changes have been made in my property (Viz) on said 14 th of March 1818 I had in my possession one cow which is not now owned by me which I disposed of for an other & the cow I now have is the proceeds of that one & also had on said 14 th of March 1818 five pairs of sheets which are not now owned by me they having been worn out in my family I had no other property real or personal to my recollection on said 14 th of March which I do not now own nor did I on said day or since that time own any real property by Deed, contract or otherwise I only lived at different houses upon sufferance or at will, I now occupy a house & Garden the property of Oliver & Phinehas Hovey I hold it at will, for the use of which I compensate them

by having an eye to boats which they occasionally crop the Black River in, the place is remote from inhabitants & frequently surrounded by water by the rising of the River renders it extremely inconvenient for me & my wife being aged and infirm. There has been no other changes made in my property to my recollection except it be the common wear & consumption in my family & two calves which I sold last Spring for nine Dollars to defray the expence of obtaining the testimony of the two witnesses hereto attached

Dear Sir;
In order that
I may determine if I am a descendant of a Revolutionary soldier. I am writing you and requesting that you refer to your records and

see if a Willard Wariner served in the Revolutionary War.
The following information in regard to Willard Wariner I have secured from a Wariner's genealogy book; he was born Feb. 17, 1753, in Springfield township, Mass. He enlisted under Capt. Enos Chapin in Colonel Porter's regiment in March, 1775. He served one year as a fifer.
In order to affirm the above information

on this affair it I wish you would write me what your records show.
Yours respectfully, Chauncy Boshart

On Feb. 5th 1928
I wrote requesting a verification of the War Record of Willard Warriner , who is listed in the Warriner Genealogy as having served as fifer for one year (enlisted March 1775) under Captain Geo. Drape, Colonel Porter's Regiment.
For fear this letter

may not have reached the proper desk I am writing again to see if I may not hear from you.
Thanking you for an early reply I am,

Gentlemen:-
I am anxious to obtain the war record of one Willard Wariner.
The Wariner Genealogy quotes as follows:-
"Willard Wariner was born in Springfield Township, Mass., Feb. 17, 1753. He enlisted under

Capt. Anas Chapin, in Col. Porter's regiment, in March 1775, and served as fifer for one year. He was married Nov. 27, 1779, to Lois, widow of Elizah Hancock (maiden name, Lois Stebbins, born Sept 11, 1759."
A foot note of the Genealogy reads that in a letter to the author, Mrs. Polly H. Fary, a granddaughter of Willard, states that Hancock was a comrade of Willard Warner in the Revolution.
It is always possible, in collecting so many facts,

to have overlooked something. In this case I do not find the date of the year in which Willard Warren died. It may be that the war records are not quite clear and I would like very much to hear from you with regard to these facts.
Thanking you very much,
I am
Very truly yours
