D. 1832:
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated: He enlisted into a company commanded by Capt. Samuel Baldwin in Col. Dyer's Regiment the first of December 1776 & went immediately to Dorchester & was detached & went into Boston in Liberty, near what is now called Park street, & there made cartridges & continued in the service the three months. He again enlisted the first of November 1777 into a company commanded by Capt. Hunt in a Regiment commanded by Col. Ebenezer Brooks, marched to Cambridge & was stationed there & continued in the service under this enlistment for the term of five months. In the month of August 1780 he again enlisted into a company commanded by Capt. Abner Andrews in a Regiment commanded by Col. Cyprian Hovey, marched to Rhode Island & helped build a large fort on Brims Hill & continued in the service under this enlistment three months; - making in all the term of eleven months that he was in the service during the war as a soldier.
He was born in Weston in the county of Middlesex February 5 th 1761 & his birth is recorded on the town's book of records which he has often seen or heard of. He lived in said Weston at the times he went into the service & has lived there ever since. He always enlisted; - never had any discharge. - Nor received any pension.
He is known to Hon. Asahel Ward of Weston, & the Rev. Joseph Tilden of Weston & to Ebenezer Hovey of the same town; to whom reference is made.

He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any state,

Dear Sir:-
Will you please be so kind as to furnish me with the war records of the following men who are my ancestors and through whom I wish to join the Sons of the Revolution:
(1) Thompson Bacon of Bedford, Mass., who served in the Massachusetts regiment during the Revolutionary War. In order to further identify him, I might state that among other data I have regarding him, is that he married Martha Hosmer in 1783.
S 30768
(2) Nathan Warren of Weston, Mass., who applied for and secured a pension on May, 8, 1833. He was born, I think, in Weston in 1761 and served in the War of the Revolution as well as the War of 1812. I think that he was with General Gates at Saratoga at the taking of General Burgoyne, among other places.
(3) Daniel formerly Stewart, born at Salem, Mass., in 1734, was the son of Solomon Stewart of Lunenburg, Mass. I might mention here that Daniel Stewart married Mary Ireland of Lunenburg, Mass., in 1757,
I trust this information will be sufficient to enable you to give me the information I desire and which I shall greatly appreciate.
Hoping to hear from you as soon as you can conveniently secure this data for me, I am
Very truly yours,
Alfred S. Warren.
P.S. Have you any records of Elisha Hyman who lived near Boston and who I know was identified with the Revolution in some capacity?

Dear Sir:-
Can you inform me whether Thompson Bacon, of Bedford, Mass., and Nathan Warren, of Weston  Weston Mass., were on the pension rolls of the government as members of the continental troops of the war of the Revolution or of the Massachusetts State Troops. I have been informed that previous to 1837 the Government allowed pensions for soldiers of the Revolution only to members of the tin Continental Army, but about that time Congress passed a law granting pensions to members of state troops also. I am desirous of obtaining this information as a step towards gaining admission to the Society of the Sons of the Revolution, and any information you can give me will be very satisfactory.
Yours very truly,

Respectfully returned to Bureau of Pensions with information that the party left no widow. His wife Lucy died before his decease. He never lived in Cumberland Co. Me. He lived all his life in Weston. Middlesex Co. Mass. There are two or three Nathan Warrens in Mass. Ralls. It is quite likely that he is the one borne on roll of Col. Marshall's 10th Regt. I know that my ancestor drew a pen- sion and through his appli- cation wish to fix his identity and time and place of service etc. Nathan Warren

I Nathan Fiske of Weston in the County of Middlesex aged seventy two, do testify & say, that I have known Nathan Warren of the same Weston, ever since the year 1776. — I am well knowing to his serving in the Revolutionary War as a soldier the following terms, viz, He served for the term of five months at Cambridge in a Company of Militia commanded by Capt Hunt, in a Regiment under the command of Elyzer Brooks commencing the first of November 1777, & ending the first of April 1778. I was a soldier in the same company & in the same camp the whole time.
He also served for the term of three months in Rhode Island in the year 1780. I enlisted at the same time with him in the same company which was commanded by Col. Abm Andrews in a Regiment commanded by Col. Gideon Howe. We enlisted in Weston in the month of August & served three months. I was with him the whole of that time in the same company & in the same camp.
I also know that the said Warren was in the service in the latter part of the year 1776 & went to Dorchester; I lived in the same house with him & well remembers his enlisting into a Company commanded by Capt. Waldo & went off as a soldier; — He enlisted for three months & I have no doubt he served that time, as he was gone for several months. And further I say not.
