Madam;
In response to your letter of the 6th instant, you are advised, that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim W. 3484, it appears that John Wade was born September 10, 1755 in Scituate, Plymouth County, Mass. and while living there, he entered the service May 1, 1775 as a private and served 8 months in Captain Samuel Stockbridge's Company and Colonel John Bailey's Regiment of the Massachusetts Line. In May 1776 he enlisted as a private and served 8 months in Captain Nelson's Company and Colonel Aaron Willard's Regiment. At Boston in 1781 or 1783 He went as a sailor on an American Merchantman, was captured by the British and carried to St. Christopher and put in prison. He was released and having no way to make a living,

he served as a sailor on board a British Merchantman, and on a British armed vessel, in all three months, he ran away and got back to Boston, for fear he might be again captured by the British, he entered the U. S. service under the name of Snell Wade, as a sailor and carpenter's mate on the American Sloop of War Winthrop, commanded by Captain George Little.
He was allowed pension on his application executed August 18, 1837, while living in Northport, Waldo County, Maine. He died at Lincolnville, Maine June 18, 1843.
Soldier married at Northport, Maine, January 18, 1826, Mrs. Rosannah or Rosanna Gitchel or Greenough, and she was allowed pension on her application executed June 10, 1853, while living in Lincolnville, Maine, aged eighty six years.

Hon. Joseph Hall
Herewith you will receive the Application of John Wade for a pension since the papers have been returned he has been to much trouble & expense to furnish evidence & has succeeded so far that I have no doubt that the Department will be satisfied that his first declaration is substantially true. He was mistaken in the name of one of his Colonels & also in the year he was in board of the Winthrop. He served on board of the Winthrop by the name of Small Wade the reasons for which he assumed that name is given in his Affidavit taken by me & that he is the same man that served there is proved by the deposition of John Studley who saw him at work on board of that Ship.
I send you the papers of Henry Cargill which were returned that he might prove by the certificate of the Secretary of Mass that he was a non commissioned officer part of the time he was in the service as he declares in his declaration in this he has failed the rolls he describes not being found in the Secretary's Office. Depositions are produced which prove distinctly that he was in the service as he states but do not prove that he was a Sargent I think the Department will be likely to give him the pay of a private if no more than a private He has produced all the evidence in power to produce & his papers I am in hope will satisfy him Sir most respectfully yours Wm. Lounsbury

I John Wade of Wenham an applicant for a pension in addition to the declaration made by me on the fourth day of September 1832 do - In each declare, that the name of John Bangs written in said declaration was inserted by accident & mistake it should have been written John Bailey. We were first of the time commanded by John Bailey & some times by John Thomas - And we called Bailey Colo. but he might have been a Major or a Lt. Colo. under Colo. Thomas - The deposition of David Dunbar proves this term of service & The certificate of the Secretary of Massachusetts also proves a part but not all of it I am very confident that I served in Capt Stockbridge's company not less than eight months - The second term of service under Captain Nelson is a part of it proved by the certificate of the Secretary of State of Mass. in the length of this term of service although it is not all proved by the Secretary's certificate I am very positive I am not mistaken & that this term of service was not less than eight months as stated in my declaration.
Some time after I left the army of the U.S. I went as a common sailor on board of an American Merchantman from Boston to Guadalupe then to St. Eustatius then on our way back to Guadalupe we were taken by a British armed vessel & carried into St. Christopher & put in prison soon after I was released from prison & having no other means there to get a living I entered on board of a British merchant man & soon after was pressed on board of a British armed vessel, here I remained about three months & then ran away & got back to Boston & there I entered into the service of the United States on board of the Winthrop as described in my declaration - I enlisted into this service by the name of Isaac Wade in order that I might not be known should I be again taken by a British vessel - I stated in my declaration that I served on board of the Winthrop in 1784 - it might have been in 1782 - In proof of this service I produce the certificate of the secretary

of State of Massachusetts & I declare I am the identical man that served on board of the Wenituck as a seaman & Carpenter's mate by the name of Israel Wade. The length of this service I did think was eight months but in this I may be mistaken the certificate does not prove quite so much - but I am confident I am not mistaken in the length of the two first terms. I further declare that there is no Clergyman living in the neighborhood where I live -
