I, Freeman Bradford of Portland in the State of Maine on oath depose and say that the foregoing declaration was made by Nathan Warren and brought to me on the fourteenth day of August last past and requested me to complete the same from some minutes that he gave me and also from the deposition of Isaac West which he said confirmed to the truth. In the course of business I mislaid his minutes and not adverting to his deposition I drafted his declaration and read it to him in open court and at that time did not perceive but that the six months service which was then omitted was put into the declaration. A few days after the papers were sent to Washington I saw said Warren's son who told me that his father served two years but that he (his father) did not recollect of hearing me read concerning the service in New York. I told him that his father made application for only 18 months from the above papers which is the identical one presented to me on the 14th of August last it appears that the person who drafted it for Warren used a description of the service that said Warren was made a supplementary application for, but that it was omitted. Warren is now of good moral character and stands in need of the assistance of his Country -

Sir
I enclose to you the declaration of Lucy Warren widow of Nathan Warren for an increase of Pension under the several acts of 1838 1843 & 1844. There has been allowed to Mrs Warren under the acts above specified a pension at the rate of $ 39.44 only. Her husband received in his life time a pension at the rate of $ 80 per annum under the act of 1832.
The evidence to establish her claim to one year's service which has not been allowed, is contained in the affidavit of Capt Josiah Parris, and that affidavit is corroborated by the Certificate herein sent from the Secy of Mass: I also refer you to the original declarations of Nathan Warren for the benefit of the act of 1832, and the evidence adduced by him in support of his claim.
The widow now claims a pension under the several acts aforesaid (and also the benefits of the joint resolution,) for 23 months & 25 days service as a private. I am

Sir
I present herewith the declaration of Lucy Warren widow of Nathan Warren for the benefit of the joint Resolution of 23 rd January 1845 and also for an increase of pension under the several acts passed on & since the 7 th July 1838.
Nathan Warren received a pension of $80 per annum under the act of June 7 th 1832, & it is presumed offered evidence at the time of his application, sufficient to show that he served at least two years in the war of the revolution. I believe that upon an examination of the evidence in his case, & other papers connected therewith, that it will appear, that Nathan Warren has had two certificates, & that before the last was issued; that plenary evidence was adduced to show that he served full two years. Will you have the goodness to examine all the papers and report upon what grounds, the service claimed by the husband, was not allowed in the computation of his widow's pension.
I am very Respectfully Your O bt : Servt. F. Bradford
The claim of Mrs. Warren under the joint resolution has been extended to

And I further Certify, That, before search made for evidence of said facts, the application hereto annexed was filed in this Office, in the form in which the same now appears; that the search was made by myself and my clerks alone: and that said application and the certificate above set forth, contain all the facts and circumstances which tend to satisfy me of the identity of the party described in the application with the individual who rendered the service.

Sir,
In the case of Lucy Warren, widow of Nathan Warren, deceased, referred to in the letter of Mr. Prince, which is herewith returned, I have the Honor to state that in the declaration of the deceased husband, he alleged to have performed three terms of service, viz. for six months, in Capt. Cole's company, Col. Robinson's regiment from March 1777; from the 1 st of January 1778 in Capt. Cole's company, Col. John Jacobs' regiment for one year; and in Capt. Williams' company, Col. Vose's regiment for six months, in 1780. The last term of service is satisfactorily proven, but evidence from the records of the State of Massachusetts is wanted to establish the other terms of service stated, in Cole's company in 1777 and 1778, amounting to 18 months.
I have the Honor to be, Very respectfully, Your Ob t . Servant, J. L. Edwards

I Josiah Parris of Buckfield, in the County of Oxford and State of Maine; aged Eighty five years, testify and say, that I served several campaigns, as a private Soldier during the Revolutionary war; and one year as a Sergeant, - that I served, during said war in seven different companies, that I served as a private Soldier one campaign of six months, in 1777, in Capt. Coles Company, Col. Robinsons Regt., that Nathan Warren late of Auburn in this State deceased, with whom I was well acquainted served in the same company with me during that campaign -
That sometime in the early part of the year 1778, I enlisted as a Sergeant for one year under my brother Samuel Parris, who was then a Lieutenant - and to serve as I then understood in Capt. Granes Company - Col. Jacobs Regt., I was called into the service soon after a muster at Providence, from whence we marched to Slades Ferry, where we remained several weeks. While at Slades Ferry I well recollect the aforesaid Nathan Warren as a Soldier. He then told me he had enlisted for one year under Capt. Cole, - Joseph Cole I think, it was however the same Capt. Cole under whom he and I served the year before - It was then well understood by all, that a party of Capt. Coles

Company and a part of Capt Cranes only had arrived in camp, and the Soldiers belonging to each of these companies were put together and were under the command of Ensign Orcutt, until sometime, I think in May when Lieut. Samuel Parris arrived in camp with new recruits, Capt Cole and Capt Crane also arrived and took command of their respective companies. While at Slades Ferry and before the arrival of Capt Cole and Crane, Sime Warren and myself belonged to the same Mess together. But after the arrival of Capt Cole & Capt Crane, Sime Warren and I were separated or did not Mess together any longer and I then understood he went into Coles Company. I know Warren did serve as a Soldier the first part of the year 1778 having belonged to the same Mess and who were drunk together every day - and I frequently saw him afterwards during that year, before, as well as after the battle at Rhode Island and have not the least doubt that he served during the whole of said year in Col. Jacobs Regt. I was attached to Capt Curtis Company a part of that year.  Josiah Parris State of Maine Oxford County ss. September 25th 1835.

On this 16 th day of September in the year of our Lord Eighteen hundred and forty five personally appeared Lucy Warren a resident of Auburn in the County of Cumberland aged eightytwo years who being first sworn cloth upon her oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefits of the acts of Congress passed July 7 1838 March 3 d 1843 June 17 th 1844 and the joint resolution of the 23 d of January 1845. and particularly for an increase of pension under said acts and resolution.
And this declarant believes that her late husband Nathan Warren served in the revolutionary war two years. That he served in Capt Joseph Cole's Company in Col Robinson Regiment five months & twenty five days in 1777. and that he was stationed during said time in R.I. That in the year 1778, he again enlisted and served for one year and she believes that this service was in Capt Cole's Company in Col Jacob's Regt. In the year 1780 she believes that he served six months in Capt Williams Company in Col Vose Regt. She therefore claims a pension under the acts & resolution aforesaid for 23 months & 25 days service of her husband.
And for the necessary proof to substantiate this claim she refers the Com te of Pensions

to the declaration now on file in the Pension office and to the evidence therein, and also to the evidence herewith submitted.
