A reference to any records in your office confirming this information, and any other facts that may bear upon the revolutionary services of pelatiah Warren will be much appreciated.
Thanking you in advance for your attention, I am,

Secretary's Office, Feb 18 1853
I hereby Certify, That, from an examination of the Books and Documents, relating to Military Services in the War of the Revolution, which remain in this Department, it appears that the name of Nathaniel Warren of North Yarmouth, is found in the return of Capt John Lane's company from July 29 to Dec 31, 1775, in Col. Stark's Regiment.
There are no rolls of Capt Lane or Stark's in this office

And I further Certify, That, before search made for evidence of said facts, the application hereto annexed was filed in this Office, in the form in which the same now appears; that the search was made by myself and my clerks alone: and that said application and the certificate above set forth, contain all the facts and circumstances which tend to satisfy me of the identity of the party described in the application with the individual who rendered the service.
In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto affixed the Seal of the Commonwealth, the date above written.
Jno A Dolee
Secretary of the Commonwealth.

Pension Office.
May 24 th 1843.
The declaration of Lydia Fuller, unaccompanied by any evidence whatever as to the material facts, except a family register, which is too recently made to be availing, has been examined and placed on our files to await the receipt of the necessary compliance with the rules in relation to evidence.
In the case of Elizabeth Dunlap whose husband was allowed a pension under the act of 18 th March 1828, for twelve months service in 1776 in the Company commanded by Captain Rice, and afterwards by Captain York of Colonel Phinney's Regiment it is shown by the rolls of that Company and Regiment recently obtained, that he enlisted on 21 st February and deserted 22 nd August 1776. She is therefore not entitled.
Peletiah Warren
The claim of Sarah Warren, dec d is also disallowed. Her husband asserted that he served under Captain Lane of Colonel Phinney's Regiment from July to 31 st December 1775, reenlisted 1 st January 1776 in the same Company and Regiment for one year, was transferred to Captain Swaney's Company of Colonel Glovas Regiment 1 st May 1776 and served to the last of November of that year.
The rolls of Phinney's Regiment have been thoroughly examined

for the whole year of 1776 and there was no enlistment corresponding with the name of her husband, and no officer of any grade bearing the name of Lane.
The proof of the alleged date of the marriage in the case of Judith Warren is not sufficient; and it should be remarked that the members of a claimant's family should never be introduced to prove any fact which can be established by other testimony.
I am very respectfully, Your obedient servant, J L Edwards
