I Timothy Weare of York in the County of York and State of Maine, son of Jeremiah Weare late of said York, deceased, a Military Pensioner, depose and say, that I am fifty two years of age, and that I have resided at my father's house for twenty years last past.
My father the said Jeremiah Weare, kept a diary, in which he noted things and events remarkable, particularly, in which he himself was interested or in which he had acted. — The Diary is now in the keeping of the family, commenced in the year 1774, and is continued till 1838.
In examining that Diary, which is in the well known hand writing of the said Jeremiah Weare, I find on the 3 d page 1775, April 19 th account of the battle at Lexington & Concord — on the same page is the following — "worked about three months with Esaias Preble, then enlisted into Captain Edward Grew's Company to guard the Sea Coast from Cape Neddick to Portsmouth, enlisted about the last of August or first of September 1775, and served in that Company, till the last of December, when I enlisted into Captain Samuel Derby's Company, in Col l . Prescott's Regiment" &c. &c. — — — — — On the 6 th page there is the following — "In the Month of August 1777, I joined Captain Thomas Bragdon's Company of foot, as a volunteer, for three months, and joined Col l . Joseph Storer's Regiment, and the 15 th day of August, marched for Manchester, thence

to Saratoga" ----- "On the 17 th of October, Burgoyne surrendered," "on the 30 th of October I marched for home" "I served in General Paterson's Brigade three months, was honourably discharged."
I further depose and say, that the hand writing of my father, the said Jeremi- ah Weare, is well known to me, and that the above quotations, are in his hand writ- ing and is as above quoted. York March 27. 1844 Timothy Weare.

I Thomas Bragdon of York in the County of York and State of Maine, aged Seventy nine years depose and say, that I have a clear and distinct recollection of many of the events of the revolutionary war, particularly, those events in which my father, Thomas Bragdon of said York deceased was an actor.
In the spring of 1775, I remember, a company was was raised to guard the sea board from Wells to Portsmouth. - Edward Grow commanded the company at the commencement of the service, which was about eight months, and my father was Lieutenant - my father was promoted to the command of the company during that term of service. My father made the house of one Nathaniel Dornell who lived near York harbour, his quarters. I recollect this fact, from my having frequently been sent by my mother with the clothes of my father to him, as his washing was done at home. My father's domicil was about four miles distance from his quarters. I further depose and say that I was well acquainted with Jeremiah Weare of said York, who was then a young man doing duty in said company. - I was the better acquainted with him on account of the connection between us, as my mother was a sister to his father. I frequently saw him during the autumn of 1775 doing duty in said company, and I recollect of his once attending my father on a visit to his house, at which time he tarried at our house one night during this service, but I cannot tell how many months he served in said company.
In the summer of 1777, my father raised a company of Volunteers for three or four months,

He marched this company for the State of New York, Col: Joseph Storer of Wells commanded the Regiment to which this company was attached.
I remember of having frequently heard my father, as well as several of the soldiers belonging to that company, relate the services of the campaign after they had returned to York, said that the company was in several skirmishes and in the battle at which General Burgoyne was captured. I did not see the company when it left York, but have ever understood that Jeremiah Ware was a soldier in that company during that campaign, and I perfectly recollect, that when my father returned home from Saratoga in the autumn of 1777, Jeremiah Ware came to my father's house with him, and tarried at his house all night, as he lived seven or eight miles eastward, from where we lived.
I further testify and say that said Jeremiah Ware had a Knapsack & Gun with him when he returned to my father's house. Thomas Bragdon York. April 2. 1844.

We were stationed principally at Vitting Point, opposite Portsmouth N.H. but were some part of the time at York, Maine, — where we erected a battery on what is called Stage Neck, a detachment of our company was stationed here the whole time.
In this company I served until the last of December the year of that year and was discharged.
Previous to my discharge from Capt. Groom's company I had enlisted into the Continental service, in Col. Prescott's Regiment, in Capt. Samuel Derby's company of the Massachusetts line for one year, and entered upon that service the first day of January 1776 we marched to Cambridge from there to New York, were at Governors Island, and

Pittsfield in the state of New York, which services are more particularly referred to in my original declaration for a pension where I was discharged the last day of December of that year being 1776 - For this service I was placed on the pension list under the law of Congress of 1818 but was stricken therefrom on account of property.

Patterson's Brigade - and marched to Stillwater and Saratoga, was present at the surrender of Genl. Burgoyne, army, and at the expiration of our services we were discharged below Albany in the state of New York.

Hon. J. L. Edwards Esquire.
Sir,
I send you herewith, the Declaration of Lucy Weare, widow of Jeremiah Weare dec d . in order to obtain a pension under the act of March 3d. 1843. Connected with this declaration is a sheet containing the depositions of Timothy Weare and Thomas Bragdon. These depositions were intended to prove the service of Jeremiah Weare under Capt. Edward Grew & Captain Thomas Bragdon, in order to establish her claim, for a further allowance, of pension under the act of July 7. 1838 she having received a pension for the service under Captain Derby only.
My intention was to have sent you these papers in separate packages, but the Clerk of the Courts having, inadvertently attached them to each other, I could not send them separately as I had designed. If the proof inclosed should be deemed sufficient to establish her claim, for 7 months further service, under the act of July 7. 1838. I presume it will also prove her claim to a pension for 19 months service under the act of March 3d. 1843.
Respectfully Sir, I am your Ob t . Serv t .

Hon. J. L. Edwards. Commissioner of Pensions.
Sir,
On the 12 th of December last I enclosed & sent to your Office, a certificate from the Secretary of State, of Massachusetts, of the Military service of Jeremich Ware (formerly Jeremich Ware Jr) in the Company commanded by Edward Grew in 1775 and in the Company commanded by Thomas Braydon in 1777 - amounting in the whole to Eight Months & twenty two days service.
Presuming that this last evidence would be satisfactory, I have waited patiently for your action in the case of Lucy Ware, widow of the deceased — nor should I have written you at this time, but for the anxiety expressed to me the last week, by the old lady, who is now 91 years of age. She and a Maiden daughter threw out hints, that I had been unfaithful in representing and proving her claim, as one of her neighbours had obtained a full pension, while she should probably pass to the tomb without enjoying the bounty of the Government in full!
Has the communication which I made to your Office, containing the evidence above named, been received?
I am very respectfully Sir, your Obedient Servant

APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATE OF REVOLUTIONARY SERVICES, MADE BY THE WIDOW OF THE PARTY WHO RENDERED THE SERVICE.
The Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is hereby requested to furnish evidence from the Rolls in his office, of the service of my husband, Jeremiah Weare * in the war of the Revolution.
He enlisted from the town of York in the County of York and State of Maine (then Mass'ts) in the year 1775 — as a private  Lieutenant in the Company commanded by Captain Edward Grow, Thos Bragdon, in Regiment and he served as follows, viz:— about four months, in protecting the sea Board from Hills to Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
He also enlisted, in the year 1777, as a private in the Company commanded by Captain Thomas Bragdon in Col. Joseph Storer's Regiment and served three months, and was at the surrender of Army,  Burgoyne's in said service.
I am now 91 years old, and my memory does not enable me to state my husband's services more fully than above stated.

Hon J L Edmonds
Commissioner of Pensions.
Sir
Your letters of Dec. 1832 and 17 th inst inform me that the papers of Jedediah Good - (probably Gooch ) have been examined and that he must send to your office his original pension certificate under the law of 1818 - or satisfactorily account for its absence. and the same requirement is made in regard to the Pension certificate of Jeremiah Weare under the same law.
In answer to the first, I presume that you intended the name of Jedediah Gooch - (not Good as you mention) as I have the case of no application for a pension under that name. I would observe that Jedediah Gooch the revolutionary soldier whose application for a pension I have the case of is now Dead . Mr. Gooch however informed me at the time his papers were prepared that his Pension - certificate under the law of 1818 was lost. I thought I stated the fact in his declaration, but it might have been omitted. The history of his certificate is this - The late George W. Wallingford of this town done the business for Gooch in 1818. and procured the certificate and retained it in his hands at the time of his death in about 1823 or 4 - Gooch considered it of no value to him and never offered for it until 1829. when he applied to me for assistance to be restored to the Pension list under the law of 1820. I called upon the widow of Mr. Wallingford and examined the files and papers of her late husband for the certificate of Mr. Gooch but could find nothing of it. and I am very certain Mr. Gooch informed me previous to his death that he never found the certificate alluded to. - I have since the receipt of your letter made inquiries concerning it of his family but they know nothing of it -
In answer to what is required in the case of Jeremiah Weare I have to state that Mr. Weare gave
me

his pension certificate under the law of 1818- and I feel very sure that it was attached to his declaration and other papers and transmitted to Washington in his late application for a pension. I think I cannot be mistaken in this - when his papers were returned here for some informality during the last winter. I believe his certificate was among the papers and when the papers were properly authenticated it was put with them and returned again to Washington. The certificate is not to be found here, and I am as confident of sending it as I can be of sending any paper that I kept made no memorandum about - There is no doubt of it, in my mind -
Should these explanations be satisfactory to you and a certificate under the late law forwarded for each it will be gratifying to your state etc

As the family of Jeremiah Ware De d . would not consent that the private diary of the deceased should be sent to the Pension Office, I made application to the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for evidence of the service of Jeremiah Ware the late husband of Lucy Ware.
I enclose evidence from the payrolls of the Massachusetts Militia of 8 months & 22 days service, in addition to the 12 Months service under Capt. Samuel Derby in 1776, for which Lucy Ware has received a pension.
It is hoped that this evidence will be satisfactory, and that she will receive a pension certificate for this additional service.

York, Maine, March 13. 1844.
Hon. J. L. Edwards,
Sir, I have received the Pension certificate of Lucy Weare — was disappointed in the amount, as her late husband, Jeremiah Weare drew $63. \frac{33}{100} per annum under the act of June 7, 1832.
I called on Mrs Weare yesterday, and am now convinced, that this deficiency arose from a defect in the widow's declaration. Mrs Weare is now within a few days of 90 years of age, very deaf, so much so, that I found it difficult to converse with her; I however succeeded in making her understand, that her pension, was for twelve months service only, and probably that under the command of Captain Derby. She humorously replied, "why don't they allow me any thing for taking Burgoin?" This reply led me to inquire if her husband was in the service when Burgoin was taken? She replied that he was a soldier under Captain Thomas Bragdon at the capture of Burgoin. Upon informing her that this service was not named in her declaration; she said that she had supposed that it was, as she had named to me that her husband served under Captain Bragdon. It then came to my mind, she had informed me that her husband, served about eight months under Captain Edward Grew & Captain Thomas Bragdon, and I took it to be one and the same service, for I know that Captain Grew raised a company to guard the sea board in 1775 and that Thomas Bragdon served in that company as Lieutenant till near the close of 10 months service when Grew was promoted to Col. and Bragdon to a Captaincy. This circumstance led me into the error in her declaration.
Mrs Weare is dissatisfied with the amount allowed

Her, said that she had a journal written by her husband, that would afford light on the subject - said that she was not married till two or three years after the service was performed and knew it only, by information received from her husband. Her memory and reason are remarkably good. She readily found the journal she had mentioned. I found that it commenced in 1774, and after naming several matters of a private nature in that year, goes on to 1775, mentioning several events of that year, such as the battle at Lexington and that of Bunker's Hill - that about the last of August 1775 he enlisted into Captain Edward Grew's Company, to guard the Sea Board from Cape Neddick to Portsmouth, that while doing duty in that Company, in December 1775 he enlisted into the Company of Captain Samuel Derby in Col. Prescott's Regiment in the Massachusetts line of the Continental Army and served till about the first of January 1777, mentions many of the events of the campaign and movements of his Regiment. "In the month of August, joined the Company commanded by Captain Thomas Bragdon as a volunteer for three months, the Regiment was commanded by Col. Joseph Storer - served three months, was at the taking of Burgoin" &c. &c. W th Weare is anxious to know if the error cannot be corrected? -
I would most respectfully ask, if a new declaration before a Court of Record be required? and also, if the certificate must be returned to the Pension Office, if any further action is had on her application - and if any thing further is allowed her, whether the certificate  it will be for the whole amount allowed, or a certificate for the balance due only?
She has concluded not to apply to the agent for paying pensions, for her pension of $40. per an-

num, till she is advised from the pension office at Washington on the subject, though she is in great want of the money.
I hold her certificate, and shall keep it till I hear from you on the subject.
I am very respectfully Sir, your obed t Servant Alex. W. Tuttle,

I Edward Hutton of Wells in the county of York and State of Maine a revolutionary soldier testify and declare that I am acquainted with Jeremiah Weare of York a revolutionary soldier -
I resided but a few miles distant from said Weare in the summer and fall of the year 1775. Said Weare was a soldier in a company of militia stationed on the sea board at the time alluded to. In the fall of that year it was stationed at Kittery. I knew said Weare whilst he was a member of that company Capt Gray of York commanded it and in the fall of that year Jeremiah Weare enlisted into a company commanded by Capt Derby. My brother Joseph was in the same company. I have always known said Weare from his boyhood. I think Capt Grays company was stationed at York and Kittery the whole season. I know Weare was a soldier in it, but cannot say how long he served - it was in the winter of 1776 before he went into Capt Derbys company.

I knew the said Jeremiah Weare during the whole service. I knew him before he went into the Army in the year 1777 and have always known him since. I was myself a soldier in the same Regiment, but in Capt. Joshua Nason's company. Our tents were near together most of the time, we were on terms of intimacy and were discharged at the same time. Said Weare resided in York at the time of this service and he now resides in said town. I think we were discharged about the month of  the month of December. We were then about twelve miles below Albany in said State of New York.
