Portland April 28, 1857
To Messrs. Dickins & Coombs Washington D. C.
I have this day transmitted to the Commr. of Pensions, an application of Nancy Wallace widow of Josiah Wallace, for an increase of Pension, founded on the discovery of certain proof of service performed by the husband of the claimant for three months in January, February, March & in April 1777, and for 2 months & 29 days service in the Penobscot Expedition. Both of those services were distinctly claimed in her application and declaration for a pension a few years ago, and the former were proven as we think, by two credible witnesses. The latter was not proved it being overlooked by the examining Clerk. A certificate is now filed for the first time.
I hereby substitute you as Attorneys in the premises, and have to request that you examine the case and bring the proof to the notice of the Commissioner. I herewith send you the certificate of Mrs. Wallace to be filed with the papers when called for.
I am Very Respectfully Your Obl. Servt. Freeman Bradford

State of Maine Lincoln 55. On this 21 st day of March in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty one personally appeared before the subscriber a justice of the Peace in and for the County and State aforesaid Nancy Wallace a resident of Phipsbury in said County aged 86 years who upon oath makes the following additional declaration in order to obtain the benefits of the acts of Congress passed July 7, 1838, March 3 rd 1843 June 17 th 1844 and Feb y 2 nd 1848.
And this declarant states that she is the widow of Josiah Wallace late of Georgetown now Phipsbury in the County of Lincoln deceased and the same per- son who now receives a pension of $52.81 per annum under the last named act for services performed by her husband in the year 1775 under Capt Semont & in the year 1780 under Capt Parsons in Gen Wads- worth Brigade. She further states that in her original declaration she set forth that her husband performed one tour of duty at Tiverton R.I. in 1776 & 1777 and that her husband was in the Ragade expedition in 1779. She has often heard her husband speak of those services and she has also heard Moses Mor- rison who was in the same company with her late husband say that he served at Tiverton R.I. three months, or more. She believes that her husband's service at R.I. in 1776 & 1777 was proved

by the testimony of the said Moses Morrison and by that of Mills Mitchell. This declarant further states that the Secretary of State Boston did not give the service of her husband in the Penobscot expedition although the same was claimed in her original application. She now claims an additional pension for service of her husband at Rhode Island in the month of January Feby March and a part of April 1779 called out to reinforce the Continental Army in the company of Capt Benjamin Sement Col Joseph North's Regt. and also for service in the Penobscot or Bagaduce Expedition in Capt James Sement's company. She believes that her husband enlisted in the company of Capt Hinkley in the Bagaduce Expedition in 1779 and she has heard her husband say that said Capt Hinkley was slain in Battle and that Capt Sement took the command of the company after his death. She adduces the following evidence in support of her claim and refers to her original declaration and proof therein in support of this her claim.

Lincoln ss. On the day and year first above written the above named Nancy Wallace, whom I know to be the identical person she represents herself to be, signed and made oath that the same is true.

I Moses Morrison of Phippsburg in the County of Lincoln and State of Maine on oath depose and say that I am ninety 94 years of Age and was a resident of Georgetown now Phippsburg in the time of the Revolutionary war. I further state that in the winter of 1777 I performed a term of Service, called a three months Service in the company of Capt Benjamin Lemenont Col. Joseph Norths Regiment, and Josiah Wallace the husband of Nancy Wallace now of Phippsburg was a Soldier in the same company with me. This draft of Soldiers was for the purpose of reinforcing the Continental army under Gen. Washington, and was called for about the first of January 1777 and we were mustered on or about the fourth of January. In the first place we marched to Cambridge, and then instead of being sent to New York were sent to Newport Rhode Island, and were placed under the command of Generals Spencer. The term of Service, three months expired on the tenth of April 1777. While at Newport I enlisted for three years under Capt. Barton and a short time before the company of
husbands service at New York 1777-1778

Capt. Lement was dismissed. I am knowing to the fact that the same Josiah Wallace was in the Tiverton campaign as I have stated above, and that the same man was the husband of Nancy Wallace now living in Phipsbury. I have also heard the said Wallace say that he was in the Penobscot expedition and in the service to the eastward during the Revolutionary war. I served with him only in the Tiverton campaign. Capt. John Hinkley was killed in the Penobscot expedition as I have heard many of his soldiers say, and it was also said that he was a captain of a company under Col. Mc Cobb in that expedition.
