Jacob H. Lord

United States of America. Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plymouth Ys.
On this second day of August in the Year Eighteen hundred & thirty seven before the Yfleses Wood Judge of the Court Court of Probate for said County of Plymouth was at Middleborough in for said County personally appeared Zenas Waterman who has for many years been a resident of Liverpool in the province of Nova Scotia, aged seventy four years who on his oath doth make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefits of the provision made by the Act of Congress passed on the seventh day of June 1832.
Said declarant states that he was born in the town of Plympton in said County of Plymouth as he was always informed during the residence of his father's family in that town but that his father generally resided in Kingston & he is uncertain whether his birth is recorded in either town & he is unable to find whether his father ever made any family record. His birth was on the twenty ninth day of December in the Year One thousand seven hundred & sixty two.
At an early age he learnt to play on the fife & when he was about fifteen years old he thinks about the Year 1777 or 8 he engaged in the Com- pany of Capt Calvin Portridge to serve at Rox- bury, Dorchester & on Castle Island all in the vi- cinity of Boston. He expected to serve as a fifer but when he got to Roxbury one Amasa Alden

was made fifer & your declarant became a private soldier in said Company & served therein three months as a private soldier. This was soon after the evacuation of Boston by the British. He was in no battle & had no written discharge. He can name a number who were in said Company but he does not recollect any one living but Howland Sampson then of Dupbury whose affidavit he will forward herewith.
Soon after the above he engaged in the Company of Capt. Calvin Curtis in Col. Jacobs Regiment & served therein as a private soldier for the term of three months at & about Little Compton in the State of Rhode Island & this he thinks to have been in 1778. He was in no battle at this time but he was in some skirmishes. He had no written discharge. 1-147 102
In the year 1779 he enlisted & served as a Piper in Capt. Edward Sparrows Company for the term of six months in the State of Rhode Island. Went from Providence to Bristol & thence to Newport. He was in no battle & had no written discharge. 3-121 122 22-195
In the year 1781 he enlisted in the Company of Capt. Abraham Washburn as a Piper for the term of forty days & marched to Butts Hill Rhode Island & was discharged before the forty days had expired, having served in this Campaign according to his recollection about six weeks but Nathan Mitchell Esq a respectable Magistrate in said County of Plymouth now living who was Orderly Sergeant 24.20

in said Company at said time thinks it was less than six weeks & about 22 days.
He has no evidence in the nature of discharge for any of said periods. He submits herewith the affidavits of several persons who served with him At the time he made the several enlistments aforementioned he had his home in Kingston aforesaid where his father then lived. About two years after the close of the Revolutionary War he was out of health & was advised to go to Sea & happened in at Liverpool in Nova Scotia where he had an opportunity to teach a Music School & there he has resided a great portion of the time since, but for about thirty years past he has resided at Pleasant River & he is now with his family Connexions in the County of Plymouth. He is well known to Daniel Mitchell & Nathan Mitchell Esquires both Magistrates in said County resident in Bridgewater, to James Lever Esq. Rev Mr. Willis Hon John Thomas & the old people generally in the town of Kingston.
He hereby relinquishes all claim to any pension or annuity except that which he makes in this declaration.

Dear Sir,
On the reception of Yours of the 16. th Ins t I immediately attended to your request therein, by applying to the Son of Capt. Abram Washburn, deceased, in whose hands were left the papers of his Father, among which I found a paper containing a list of the names of his Company, that marched to Newport the 10 th of March 1781, under the command of Col. Theophilus Cotton for forty days agreeable to the Resolves of the great & general Court, granting pay to the non-commissioned Officers & Soldiers in N. Embrion. 2 In said list is contained the name of Lena Waterman, it also mentions the 1 st of April as the day of their discharge & the term of service 22 days. I have no doubt of the paper being written by his own hand, as I am well acquainted with his hand writing -
I enclose Mr. Conant's Deposition, which supports the main facts contained in my Affidavit together with some additional circumstances to corroborate them, which he was enabled to testify to, by my presenting to him the paper above described -
At your request I would name 1 dollar for my services in obtaining the Deposition &c which I presume will be considered reasonable as I had to ride 4 or 5 miles to do it -
Respectfully Yours,
Nathan Mitchell

Hon. J. L. Edwards Dear Sir
Plymouth Aug 25. 1837
In answer to the letter of Mr. Crump of the 10 th instant in relation to the claim of Mr. Lucas Waterman in which he says the claim is disallowed, I beg leave to submit the accompanying testimony in proof of the two terms of service which have not been credited to him.
The term of 2 months 28 days under Capt Partridge & 3 months under Capt Curtis it is said are verified by the rolls
The applicant claimed for 6 months in 1779 in Capt Sparrows Company. Your letter says the rolls do not bear his name. Mr. Waterman says that Samuel Everson of Kingston originally went this Campaign & after a service of 3 weeks was so unwell as to be discharged & he went from Kingston & took his place & that in consequence of his musical talents he was immediately made fifer of the Company. I sent you the deposition of Oliver Delano who testified to this service. Mr. Waterman has since ascen-

tained that Joshua Chandler who now resides in Fairhaven in the County of Bristol & was in said Company was still living & he has procured his Affidavit which I send you herewith. Mr. Joshua Chandler was a Sergeant in said Company & was a native of Duxbury a neighbouring town to Kingston where Mr. Waterman resided. I also send the deposition of Benjamin Waterman somewhat corroborative of the same service.
In relation to the other term of service of 22 Days in Capt Abram Washburns Company. I formerly sent you the Affidavit of Nathan Mitchell Esq, who was orderly Sergeant of that Company. I now send you a letter from him & I refer you to Hon. J. D. Adams for the great respectability of Mr. Mitchell as a gentleman of high standing in this County. I also send you an affidavit of Phineas Conant in aid of this service & if you do not consider this well proved now I will send to Bridgewater & get a Copy of the Roll of Capt Washburns Company in his own handwriting now extant & which was seen by Mr. Mitchell.

I think you will feel satisfied as to both the rejected terms of service now & if so please send me the Certificate & oblige
Your Obedt. Servt.
