On this tenth day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand Eight hundred and thirty Eight personally appeared before Oliver Prescott Judge of the Court of Probate in and for the County of Bristol & State aforesaid Mehitable Wood a resident of Seekonk in said County aged Eighty Eight Years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on her oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions of the act of Congress passed July 4 th 1836. viz that she is the widow of Jonathan Wood late of Seekonk in said County deceased who was a soldier of the Revolution that he served as a private in various companies regiments of Massachusetts & Rhode Island Troops during the war of the Revolution, that he enlisted and served in Col Cravens regiment of

of Rhode Island State Troops in the year 1777. but in what company she has forgotten. He also served in Col. Timothy
Walker's regiment of Massachusetts Troops in Capt. Hicks company. He also served in other companies but such a great length of time has elapsed that she cannot rec- ollect the officers names, nor can she speci- fy his services in a particular manner.
I n the place where he was stationed she must therefore refer to the evidence already used, and such other as can be obtained in her behalf. And she further declares that she was married to the said Jonathan Wood on the first day of August AD 1768 in Roxbury  Swansey as will appear by the records of said Town as she believes her marriage is recorded. Her husband the said Jonathan Wood died on the 23 rd day

of September AD 1823 and since that period she has remained unmarried as will appear by the evidence annexed.
Wherefore she requests that pension may be granted to her agreeably to the provisions of the act of Congress aforesaid

Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R.11798, it appears that Jonathan Wood was born in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, date not stated.
It was alleged that while a resident of Seekonk, Massachusetts, he enlisted and served at various times from 1776 until sometime in 1780 with the Massachusetts Troops under Captains Sylvanus Martin, Joseph Wilmarth and Hicks and Colonel Timothy Walker, and with the Rhode Island Troops under Captain Nathan Olney and Colonel Archibald Crary.
He was married at Swansey, Massachusetts, August 14, 1768, to Mehitable Luther, of said town, by Elder Jabez Wood.
He died, September 23, 1823, at Seekonk, Massachusetts.
On account of his service in the Revolution, his

R widow, Mehitable, applied for pension, November 10, 1838, while a resident of Seekonk, Bristol County, Massachusetts, aged eighty-eight years. The claim was not allowed as proof of service as required by the pension laws was not furnished.
Mehitable died, October 21, 1839, leaving the following children:
Oliver, aged sixty-nine years in 1838, died prior to January, 1854; Anne, wife of William Barney; Eleanor, wife of John Tharber or Thurber; Jonathan; Job, aged sixty-seven years in 1854; Roby, wife of Caleb Barney; Sally or Sarah, wife of Comfort Bishop.
The records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to pension having been claimed by Oliver Wood, son of the above mentioned Jonathan, on account of services in the Revolution.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.

Madam:
In reply to your letter dated the 27 th and received the 29 th ultimo, you are advised that in the papers in claim R. File No. 11,788, it is alleged that Jonathan Wood, a native of Rehoboth, Massachusetts, served in the Revolutionary War from 1776 to 1780 at various times, under Captains Sylvanus Martin, Joseph Wilmerth and Hicks, Colonel Timothy Walker in the Massachusetts troops; and under Captain Nathan Olney and Colonel Archibald Crary in the Rhode Island troops.
He was married at Swansea, Massachusetts, August 14, 1768 to Mehitable Luther of said town, by Elder Jabez Wood.
He died September 22, 1823 at Seekonk, Bristol County, Massachusetts, where his widow resided, and was eighty-eight years of age when she applied for pension November 10, 1832.
Her claim was never allowed for the reason that she failed to furnish specific proof of her husband's services.
She died October 21, 1839 leaving seven children: viz. Oliver Wood aged seventy years, Anna Barney (a widow), Eleanor wife of John Thurber or Thurber, Jonathan Wood, Job Wood aged fifty-two years, Mary wife of

Sir,
I have carefully reviewed the testimony filed in this office to establish the claim of Mehitable Wood, widow of Jonathan Wood, for the benefit of the act of July 4 1836, and can discover no reason for altering the decision heretofore communicated to the Council. Jonathan Wood of Seekonk, Mass., was not the soldier who served in Col. Gray's Regiment of Rhode Island Troops - nor has any satisfactory evidence been adduced to show that said claimant is the widow of the Jonathan Wood credited on the list of the Society of Mayhew church, with various towns of militia duty in the years 1776, 1778 & 1780.  Col. James G. Doret, Present

Guy Darfu Oct 12/53

Pension Office. 12 th October 1853.
Sir,
The claim of Mehitable Wood die? widow of Jonathan of Mass. has been re-examined: but the evidence is insufficient to justify its admission.
Some of the witnesses testify that he served over two years; but the Certificate of the Secretary of State of Massachusetts, shews that he served but three months and thirteen days, and disagrees with the parole proof both as to duration of the term of service, and name of Officer. The date of Jonathan's death has not been established. The evidence on which it was, satisfactorily proved to the Court left that Mehitable died 21 st Oct: 1839, and, surviving her the children as named, must be exhibited before this Office.

Sir,
The additional evidence filed by you in the case of Mehitable Wood, deceased, has been examined together with the papers heretofore transmitted in support of the Claim.
The main difficulty in this case is that the proof does not show a sufficiency of service of the husband of Mehitable to entitle her to any any pension, six months at least being requisite for this purpose.
Enclosed you will find a copy of a letter addressed to one of the agents in the case, under date of June 4. 1846 which explicitly states the objection to its admission - This objection has never been obviated -
Very respectfully

I would inform you, in reply to yours, of 27 th ultimo, that & it is contrary to the rules of this Office to report to you the condition of the claim of Mehitable Wood widow of Jonathan of Massachusetts, unless you first file a Power of Attorney authorizing your agency.

Pension Office, June 4, '40.
Sir,
The additional testimony furnished by you, in the case of Mehitable Woods, decd. has been examined and filed.
The certificate of the Secretary of State of Massachusetts does not remove the objection to the admission of this claim suggested to you in letters heretofore addressed to you. The fact that it is certified that Jonathan Wood was discharged from Col. Hazzell's Regiment on the 31 st March, 1778, after a service of 2 months and 18 days, is fatal to the effort at establishing a 15 months' service in Col. Grevy's regiment, it being well known to the Department that this regiment completed its term of service on the 16 th of March in that same year; hence the payment certified to of £33. 15 could not have been made to the husband  widow of the claimant.

Wheeler states that Clamants husband Jonathan Wood, entered with him under lease at Martha's and at Milmarth in 1780 a term of three lives, if this be so the reversion in the office of the Secretary of State should revert to that term - term, which is the only one leased to by Mehitable-

Sir In the case of Mr. Mehita- bel Wood you were apprized by my letter of 27 May '39 that there was a palpable contradiction in the terms of service set forth by the proof - viz that he was according to one witness in the winter of 77 & 8 in Capt. Hick's Company of Mass Militia while others assert that he was in Crary's regt of R. I. Troops from March 77 to March 78 - In this state of the case the deposi- -tion of Wilkinson that the amount of the certificate of depreciation issued in the name of Jonathan Wood would shew two years service in the R.

He was in the capacity of a Private as far as I know. His enlistment was for fifteen months which term he served.

You observe that the disposition of Salisbury Wheeler does not obviate the objection pointed out in your letter to me of Jan'y 17 1842. That letter is lost or mislaid I cannot find it. Will you be kind enough to send me a copy of it —
In the year 1832 I sent the application of Ruben Smith for a pension under the act of June 7 1832. With the papers I sent an original Roll of Capt Frederick Williams Company of Militia on which the name of Ruben Smith was borne. I am now requested to make the enquiry whether the name of Stephen Waterman is on said Roll. Will you be kind enough to inform me I have generally retained copies of the Rolls I have sent but of this I did not

I William Wilkinson of Providence R.I. On Oath do Testify and say That I served in the War of the Revolution , in the Rhode Island Brigade of State Troops from July 1777 to March 1780. The Brigade was first raised for 15 Months from December 16 th 1776 and afterwards for two successive Years ending March 1780. About the April 1786 a Committee of the Legislature of Rhode Island was appointed who made up the Depreciation of wages, due to each individual of the Brigade, from the Pay Rolls. On this list there is stated to have been due to Jonathan Wood, a private, the sum of $33.12.10. In comparing this amount with the sum awarded to myself, I have no hesitation in saying and fully believe that said Wood served at least two Years in the two first Terms of service in said Brigade.

At the request of Hon. J. A. Rockwell, I have to say  ask that you will allow me to examine the papers filed in support Mrs Wood's claim for Pension under the act of 4 July 1836 or 7 July 1838.
Mrs Wood was the widow of Jonathan whose application was made from the State of Connecticut -
With great respect for others
James G. Burritt
Mr Rockwell desires a re-examination of Mrs Wood's claim for the benefit of her children
Reply J. G. Burritt

Providence Sept 22 1845 Sir
In the case of M rs Abigail Wood widow of Jonathan Wood I humbly enclose her testimony, this claim has been pending for some years. M rs Wood has departed this life but her children have requested me to attend to it. If necessary a certificate of the Court of Probate will be obtained of her death & the names of her surviving children. As I was not her Attorney when the claim was presented to the Pension office I am unable to say what services were alleged to have been performed. I understand however that one service was alleged to have been done in Col o Crarys Regiment of R d Island Troops & they reside in Ulster county, N ew York. The enclosed affidavit shows B r M rs Wood's service in Capt cy Sylvania Martin's & Joseph Whitmarsh's Companies in the Spring of 1780. The witness also states that he believes he served in Col o Crarys Regiment. In consideration of this I have to state that the Roll which I have of their officers & soldiers

entitled to deprivation of pay contains the name of "Jonathan Wood & the sum of $33 12 1/2" due him for deprivation.
Hoping the enclosed affidavit will be satisfactory & that a certificate will be granted unless the death of Mrs. Wood should be required first
I am Respectfully Yours etc. sent Benjamin

After I received your letter of the 25 of October last respecting the claim of Mehitable Wood widow of Jonathan Wood I caused an examination of the Rolls in Massachusetts, and herewith enclose the Secretarys certificate, as well as the certificate of the Court of Probate of her death and the names of her children You will now see that the certificate of the Secretary of Massachusetts, discrediting the testimony of Asa Bliss as to the time of the service in Capt Hick, Co's virtually establishes the testimony of Grindall Chase & others as to his service in Col Brangs Regiment Asa Bliss, says the service in Capt Hick, Company began in Jan 1778 December 1777. the Certificate says it began in January 78 and ended in March following. Grindall Chase testified that in March or April 78 he enlisted in Col Brangs Regiment & served one year from time and Wood, with whom he was well acquainted, served in the regiment at the same time & he thinks in same Company. The Certificate of the Secretary of Massachusetts does not contradict, for it shows no service of Wood during this time in Massachusetts Troops and from the

circumstances that many of the privates in that regiment were enlisted from the towns of Rehoboth & Swansea there cannot be any doubt, but that Wood was in the regiment at the same time. The testimony of several respectable witnesses not only proves, but identifies Whittable Wood's husband as having served in Col. Crary's regiment and the Rolls of the regiment confirm the fact And as the Secretary's certificate does not show any service in Massachusetts Troops, contradictory it indirectly confirms it. — The Secretary's certificate also shows that Jonathan Wood did no service in Massachusetts Troops between December 78 & Jany 14, 1778. Here is another term of a year & upwards, in which he might have served in Col. Crary's regiment, and according to the testimony of Jonathan Park, Wood did serve in it, in what was called the "15 months" service which began in December 1776. I do not pretend however, that he served the whole 15 months. But he might have served 12 months of it, for at that time enlistments were made for 15 then for 12 & then for 9 months during the 15 months service. It is possible he served two terms in that regiment & the large amount allowed him for discharges of pay to wit £33 12 10 would seem to confirm the fact. Rehoboth & Swansea both Join Rhode Island

and it is well known that many soldiers from these towns enlisted in Rhode Island regiments. Looking at this claim in any aspect it does appear to me that the claimants husband did serve in Col Crangs Regiment Nor can I see how such a conclusion can be avoided by the War Department believing the Department will do right I have to request a certificate may be granted

I Tolsberry Wheeler of Cornish in the County of Sullivan and state of New Hampshire one of the surviving soldiers of the Revolution depose and say that during the time of the war of the Revolution I was a resident of Rehoboth in the state of Massachusetts and was then and there well acquainted with Jonathan Wood an other actor in the country service and my belief is that the said Jonathan Wood was at several times engaged in actual service. but the dates and number of tours of his service I cannot now state, but to one of which, I can and do hereby testify, to wit a three months tour under Captain Sylvanus Hatten and Joseph Wilmarth in the spring of the year 1780 during which, we served together this being the only service that we happened to perform together. But my confident belief is that the said Wood rendered other services in Colonel Brigs Regiment of the Rhode Island Troops but as above stated, I do not state when, nor the name of the Captain under whose command he was.
