The said Samuel Trumbull lived a near neighbor to me during the time of the revolutionary war, and before and after.

Before he went into the service as a soldier he was a married man; his wife's name was Mary, or Polly Goodwin and they were living together as man and wife and my near neighbors before his entering the service; they had four children born before he entered the service, and at the time one was an infant baby. Samuel Trumbull lived within two or three miles of me when he died, which happened three or four years since; his aforesaid wife is still living a few miles distant from me and has never married since his decease, but now remains his widow.

Dear Sir, I enclose you the claim of Sam Trumbull It was returned to me some time since. Mr Edwards informed me that the Rolls of Capt Stetson's had been examined and his name not found thereon & required another witness in addition to Sam Stevens. The testimony of Mr Haines is all that can be found which is enclosed a clergyman's certificate. You will observe that the applicant states that he served in Capt Stetson's Co not Stetson — This circumstance may be favorable to the case. I hope the claim will be admitted. Mr Trumbull is very poor and a worthy member of the Methoudist Society in Bosconee — Mr Wiggins was here yesterday & I shall mail his papers for you the next mail. I think I have complied fully with your directions in his case & trust he will now be suc- -cessful. Mr Bryant of Plainfield has informed me this evening that Mr Hubbard is endeavoring to get an amendment to the Act of June so as to allow those who served after the close of the war the benefit of the Act of June. I have an case. 2 years service & had his discharge gets a Pension $36-00 only — There are some invalids who have already relinquished their claims as Invalids & taken certificates under the Act of June Should any thing be done for them I presume this class will be remembered.
Yours very Respectfully Joseph C. West
