The Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is respectfully requested to furnish proof from the records in his office of the revolutionary ser- vices of the father of my wife, her name is Samuel Warren and his residence in the Revolution- war ary was in Oakham in Worcester County and Brim- ton in Norfolk County Massachusetts. I am not able to say how long he served but it is my impression that he rendered important services at various times. According to what I have understood from the family he served one tour of 9 months and another of 6 months and I believe that the name of one of his officers was Warren, but whether Captain or not I do not know. One of these tours was rendered as substitute for a man by the name of Hunter. Samuel Warren died in 1803 and his wid- ow in 1843. The above information as to the ser- vice was derived from his widow. I have appointed Adiel Ely to act as my attorney as the premises
