I hereby Certify, That, from an examination of the Books and Documents, relating to Military Services in the War of the Revolution, which remain in this Department, it appears that the name of Robert Wiley is borne upon a Muster Roll of Capt Timothy Langdon's Company stationed at Boothbay as a private from July 12 to December 31 1775. 6 months and 4 days.

Secretary of the Commonwealth.

To the Secretary of State Boston Massachusetts.
The undersigned Elizabeth Winston formerly the widow of Robert Wiley requests the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Mass to give her from the Rolls of Revolutionary Soldiers and other documents in his possession the service of the said Robert Wiley her former husband. And this applicant states that her former husband the said Robert was a resident of Boothbay Maine in the time of the Revolutionary war and she believes that he was a native of said Town. Her said husband was a soldier in the Revolution as she believes having often heard her husband speak of his services as a soldier in his lifetime. She has heard him say that he served at the Eastward on a campaign in which Gen. Wadsworth commanded and she believes at Camden on the Penobscot River. Her husband was called out during the war to perform various services but owing to the great loss of time since his death she is unable to state positively in due what captain he served. This applicant was a native of Bath and did not live very near the native town of her husband and was not personally acquainted with those who knew him or the soldiers who served with him and consequently is unable to state positively their names. From what I have heard my said husband say I have no doubt but he was in the service as a soldier and my request is that the Secretary give all the service of her said husband that can be identified with the person above described and for the purpose of this application I hereby appoint Fremont Bradford my attorney in the premises. The Secretary is requested to furnish all the Revolutionary service of the  Rolls of

of Service rather as a officer non command officer or private
