The principal occupation of my life has been shoe-making. But I am now, and have been for some time unable to labour in that or any other employment; being entirely disabled, and unable to walk without crutches; my family consists of a wife only, who is in her sixty third year. She is able to labour, but it occupies her whole time to wait upon me and do the work of the family; and she cannot earn any thing towards our support. I further declare that previous to my receiving my pension under the act of March 18. 1818, I was supported by the Town of Leominster Leominster, as a town pauper about fifteen years; and the greater part of the articles included in the annexed inventory, were purchased by me with the money which I received under the act of March 18. 1818.

I John Buss of Leominster in the County of Worcester & Commonwealth of Massachusetts, of lawful age, do testify & say, that I enlisted into the army of the United States in the year 1777, & served in the Continental army for the term of three years. Some time in the year seventeen hundred & seventy seven, I was a non-commissioned officer in a Company commanded by Capt. William Warner of said Leominster. The Company, to which I belonged, wintered at Valley Forge in the winter of 1777-8 under the command of said Warner, & I will remember that Capt. Warner was the Commander of my Company as early as the 1 st or 2 nd of August of the year 1777. I enlisted for three years, was never under any other Captain & served nearly three years before I left the army. I left the army at West Point in the year 1780. John Buss
I Thomas Robbins of Leominster in the County of Worcester & Commonwealth of Massachusetts, of lawful age, do testify & say, that I am knowing to all the facts stated in the above deposition of John Buss; that I entered the army at the same time with the above deponent some time in the year seventeen hundred & seventy seven, was a soldier in Capt. Warner the Company of Capt. William Warner of said Leominster at Valley Forge, & served as a soldier under the said Capt. Warner for the space of three years, within a very few days. I therefore know that said William Warner was a Captain in the Continental Army, about the term of three years, & I am knowing that said Warner is very poor, & has, for several years, been assisted as a pauper by the town of Leominster.

Gentlemen: - Will you kindly send me a Revolutionary War Record. I am very anxious to prove my eligibility to the Daughters of the American Revolution. My great-grandfather William Warner was a soldier in the Revolutionary War & I think he enlisted from the State of Vermont.
Very Truly Yours

Dear Sir:- I am having the record of a man named Pennybaker who was in the Revolution of 1776. He enlisted from Fredrick county Virginia, near Winchester and was in the war about seven years. I do not know his first name but think it was either John or William. Have you the record of enrollment of the soldiers in that war? or can you give me any instruction as to how to find out? I am interested in the Daughters of the Revolution and want documentary evidence of my ancestry. I know this man was in the war but by

my father having heard it from his grandmother.
Also another man Capt Warner whose given name was Thomas I think. Capt Warner was with Washington in his retreat across New Jersey and the battle of Long Island. His home was Ashfield, Massachusetts. I want to be sure of Capt. Warner's given name, if it was Thomas or whatever it was.
Pennybaker was my great, great grandfather on my father's side; Capt. Warner was my great-great-grandfather on my mother's side.
For any information concerning either or both men I will be very much obliged
Respectfully [Miss] Blanche Howe Athens, Athens Co., Ohio.
