Bigelow's regiment and Gen t Glover's Brigade; - the said Nathaniel Young enlisted in my presence for three years, and joined the company of Capt. Ellis in Oct r 1777 - soon after we joined the army we were at the taking of Burgoyne, and not far from three weeks after that battle the regiment was marched to a place called Quemonto overslaw about twelve miles below Albany, - the said Nathaniel having been taken sick, was left at Albany - I did not see said Nathaniel again until he had recovered and joined his company which was at Valley Forge in Pennsylvania, and I think towards the spring of 1778 - He continued in the company, and was in the battle of Monmouth and marched

II with the troops for Rhode-Island, but was taken sick at a place called Fall river in Rhode-Island and was left there. He however recovered and joined his company and wintered with them at Providence the next winter - sometime in the summer 1779. The army left Providence and Nathaniel Young was in his company - we marched into the state of New-York, and on our march Nathaniel Young was taken sick and left at Lymen in Connecticut - this was in the summer or fall of 1779 - I always understood that he continued in service until the expiration of the three years and was then honorably discharged - I know he served from the autumn of 1777 until the autumn of 1779, and have no doubt he served until the expiration of his enlistment

I enclose you the application of Eloie Young for a pension under the law of 1838 -
She commenced her application soon after the death of her husband, but understanding the decision under the law to be that the widow of the pensioner, who died after the passage of the law, was not entitled to the benefits of the law, proceedings were stayed - On receiving your instructions in the case of Charlotte Borrow, I find that the law is now understood differently - that the widow is entitled to the pension for the full six years, although the husband may have received himself a pension after the passage of the law -
There may be some informality in the proceedings in this case, but they are substantially correct -
Will you please return me for correction Mrs Lord's application some time since forwarded - the certificate of the Register of Probate was not annexed
Very Respectfully your obedt servt Levi Whittemore.

Conway, Me., Feb y 26 th 1843
Dear Sir
I return to you the deposition of Amos Young certified by the Clerk of our Supreme Judicial Court — At the late term of our S. J. Court I prevailed upon the Court to authorize the Clerk to use the seal of the Court in these cases — From your previous communications to me I conclude that I may soon expect pension certificates, in the cases, which I have forwarded, without any new attestation of my character as a Magistrate — In a former letter I gave you my reasons for hoping that the Probate Court seal would be sufficient in the applications formerly forwarded, & from your reply, I conclude they were satisfactory — The applications of Elizabeth Noyes, Elizabeth Cobb, Hannah Lumbard — Charlotte Burrows two cases, Mrs Chaplin, Ruth Shedd, & this of Mrs Young have been in your Office, most of them, many months, & the parties interested are very importunate — May I not hope that they will soon be closed —
Very Respectfully Your Obedt Servt Levi Whitman

To the Secretary of War
Sir,
I return the application of Nathaniel Young, which was transmitted to me from the Pension office, a few weeks since for further proof. The applicant has made such further proof as has been in his power, which is herewith transmitted. — I have not the least doubt but this applicant served from 1777 to 1780 and was regularly discharged. He is personally known to me and his testimony would in all cases receive credit with me, equal to that of any person whatever.
