Brief in the case of Reynolds & Catharine Webb, decd. Middlesex County and State of Connecticut.
act June 7. 1832, and July 7. 1838.
Claim, ("original," or "for increase.")
Proof exhibited, (if original.)
Is it documentary, traditional, or supported by rolls? If either, state the substance.
Reynolds Webb was pensioned under the Act of March 18, 1818 for service in the Connecticut Line, and was stricken from the Roll under the provisions of the Act of May 1, 1820. He was subsequently pensioned under the Act of June 7. 1832, at the rate of $70 per annum for 21 months' service in the Reg'ts. of Col. Parsons and Meigs' Conn. Line; and his widow was pensioned under the Act of July 7, 1838, and at the same rate. His children have claimed that, in
(If for increase.) Has additional evidence been filed since the admission of the claim? If so, what? addition to his service in the Line of Connecticut, he served six months as a teamster from Dec. 1778, in a company of Teams of which Hezekiah Shailer was Conductor. This averment is sustained by the testimony filed in the case of Shailer, who is a pensioner, and for whom Reynolds Webb was a principal witness. The increase claimed is, therefore, allowed at the rate paid to Teamsters at the time the service was rendered, viz. $16 pr. mo.
