(viz)
I was born in New Haven Count, (Anxiety Society, now the town of Woodbridge) Jan'y 15. 1755. I resided in Woodbridge during the Revolutionary War & since that time in Watertown Litchfield County Court, where I now reside.
In May 1776 I enlisted into Capt Nathaniel Johnson's Compy (of Derby Count) Col William Douglass' Regt Connecticut State troops. Lieut Ambrose Hine — Pinson & Ensign Horton were officers in said Compy; & Lieut Col. Arnold, Major Phineas Porter & Adjutant Barker were Officers in said Regt. Capt Lewis, Higgins & Prentice commanded different companies in the same Regt. Very soon after my enlistment we went on board a vessel at New Haven & sailed to New York where our Regt was formed in Broad Street in the mouth of May. Brigadier General James Wadsworth commanded the Brigade to which we were attached. We staid in New York till the Regt was called over to Long Island after the first battle on the Island. We were there three days keeping guard & then retreated over to the City with the rest of the army in the night. We then went to Turtle Bay & then to Harlem. Soon after I went with the sick, (being sick myself) to Horse Neck Ct. I remained in

Horse Trek about two weeks & then joined my Regt, at a place called Wright's Mills, soon after the battle at White Plains. We then marched up to the village of North Castle in the town of Peekskill on the North River. We remained at North Castle till Christmas Day, keeping guard, when I was discharged by parole.
I have no documentary evidence of my service, nor any other evidence of any kind that I can procure, except the affidavits of Eldad Hotchkiss & William Kenny who were with me in the service, which are sent herewith to substantiate my statement.
I am known to the Rev Frederick Holcomb & Beneijah Bryan residing in the aforesaid Watertown Ct. who can testify to my character for veracity to their belief of the truth of my declaration.
I hereby declare that my name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state, & I do hereby relinquish every claim whatever to any pension or annuity except the present.

To the Hon. Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Sir,
I wish to inquire whether there is in your office a record of a membership in the Connecticut branch of the Revolutionary Army by NATHANIEL WARREN, and of his being granted a pension as such. He was my grandfather. It has always been understood in our family that he was such a soldier, and received a pension of $43 per annum. He resided in the old town of New Haven, but possibly in one of those parts which subsequently became separate towns, Derby or Woodbridge. He died in Watertown, Connecticut, in 1833. I know of none of his family now living who can give any information on the subject.
I am desirous of proving the above particulars in order to become eligible for admission to the new organization of the Sons of the Revolution now forming in this state, where I have resided some fifteen years past. I am the editor and publisher of the "Christian Mirror" of this city.
Very respectfully yours,
Israel Perkins Warren.
Please address Rev Israel P. Warren, D. D. Portland Maine.

Commissioner of Pensions, Washington.
Dear Sir:-
Will you kindly let me know if Nathaniel Warren's (a pensioner in 1832 in New London County, Conn.) application paper mentions his children, especially a son Isaac ?

Nathaniel Warren born Jan. 15, 1755; d Mar. 8, 1836; m Aug 7-1780, Susannah Johnson who was b 1735
It is his place of residence at enlistment which we wish to know. Also where he lived after service. It is known that his son lived in Newburgh N.Y. - was living there in 1839.
We suppose he was the Nathaniel Warren who was a private in Col. Philip Van Cortlandt's 2nd regiment of the Line.
N.Y. State in Rev. p 39
He may also be the corporal Nathaniel Warren in Capt. Thos Skinner's Company of Col. Marinus Willett's Regiment of Service N.Y. State in Rev. p 92
We wish to check these two names and locate via U.S. State Records

Dear Sir: Do you have any record of one Nathaniel Warren who served in the Revolutionary War from N.Y. State or Connecticut? He was a son of James Warren of Woodbridge (now Bethany) Ct. We wish to know if he enlisted from N.Y. State or Ct. and where his home was, from 1775 to 1785. Shall appreciate any record you may have of this man. His son Miles Warren lived later in Newburgh N.Y.

Madam:
I advise you that Nathaniel Warren, whose name appears on the list of pensioners of New London County, Connecticut in 1835, was a Revolutionary War pensioner of Litchfield County, Connecticut and his name erroneously placed on the New London County list.
In the papers on file in his claim for pension (S.14773) there are no data whatever as to his family.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT, Commissioner.
