Wm. John C. Spencer Secretary at War:
Sir Sir,
Israel Wing, a Revolutionary Pensioner, whose certificate is recorded in Book F. Vol. 2, page 81, was placed upon the pension list many years ago; & when a restricted construction was given by your Department to the Pension Laws, early in Gen. Jackson's administration, Mr. Wing was among the number who was stricken from that list. It was something more than two years, he says, before his pension was restored to him, & thereafter then he has only drawn pay from the time of his restoration.
He thinks he is entitled now to the amount which would have been paid to him, during that period of two years & upwards, if he had not been stricken from the roll. Will you do me the favor

favor to inform, whether or not he is entitled to the Allowance, which he claims, by the existing laws, & the construction now given to them by your Department.
With great respect,

he delivered to S. C. Perkins Esq. of said Lynn , to forward to the Pension Office, with an application for a new certificate, inasmuch as the old certificate by much use had become defaced, torn and otherwise injured. which said last named certificate the said Perkins informs me he only forwarded to the Pension Office & that it is now on the files of said office. Sworn and subscribed to, before me, the day and year aforesaid. E. Estlin Jus. Peace Israel Wing
NOTES.—The last four blanks are left for the applicant to set forth the time, place, and manner of the loss or destruction of the original certificate.
The oath to be taken before a duly qualified magistrate, whose official character and signature must be properly authenticated.
□ If the pensioner has never received a formal certificate, but has drawn his pension on a mere notification, as was the case in a few instances many years ago, he should leave out the above words in italics , and insert, in lieu thereof, " but has never received a formal certificate, and now wishes to obtain one. "
The pensioner's oath must be supported by the evidence of another person as to identity. The person must swear that he well knows him to be the same person described in the above affidavit. The magistrate must certify that the deponent is a person of veracity. This oath must also be authenticated by the certificate of the proper officer, under his seal of office, setting forth that the officer before whom the affidavit may be made is a Justice of the Peace, Judge, or Notary Public, as the case may be.
When a person acting as an Agent or Attorney for a Pensioner, loses the certificate, the affidavit of that person is also required, which must be authenticated as above.
□ In every case where the Clerk of the Court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of Congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should be sent with the papers.
□ Mode of authenticating papers.—In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or small ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.

State of Maine
Wernick County ss:
On this twenty first day of December, 1821. personally appeared Israel Wing aged sixty four years, resident in Fayette in the County of Wernick, within said Circuit, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath declare, that he served in the Revolutionary War as follows, viz, in the Company commanded, by Captain Moody Austin and Regiment commanded by Lieut Colonel Dearborn of the line of the State of New Hampshire upon the Continental establishment, for the period of three years, that his original declaration was made before Judge Weston on the eighteenth day of April 1818; that he is now on the Maine Roll, and that his pension certificate is numbered 6121. — and I, the said Israel Wing do further solemnly swear, that I was a resident citizen of the United States, on the eighteenth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and eighteen; and that I have not, since that time, by gift, sale, or in any manner whatever, disposed of my property, or any part thereof, with intent thereby so to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an act of Congress, entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States, in the Revolutionary War," passed on the eighteenth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and eighteen; and that I have not, nor has any person in trust for me, any property or securities, contracts or debts, due to me; nor have I any income, other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed, and by me subscribed. —
Israel Wing
The following is a schedule of my whole estate and income, necessary clothing and bedding excepted viz: "No real estate. one cow of the value of twelve dollars, one sheep of the value of one dollar and fifty cents, one swine of the value of four dollars. Old house hold stuff (besides bedding) of the value of five dollars, one stove and one sythe, one axe & sickle — three dollars. I have no debts due me, and owe upward, of one hundred dollars. I have no trade, am a laborer by occupation, but from old age and the Rheumatism I am able to do but little labor; my family consists of myself, my wife Lydia aged sixty seven years rheumatic and unable to labor; and my daughter Patty aged twenty six years, who by reason of fits is deprived of her reason, and is thereby wholly unable to take care of herself. I am poor and needy have frequently been committed to Gaol, during the last five years, and have
been —

been liberated by taking the poor debtors oath, the last time I swore out of Gaol was December the 7 th 1820. I have also received assistance from the Town of Fayette, where I live; as a pauper, before I received my pension from Government. The lease mentioned in my schedule of the 31 st of May 1820 was altogether a mistake as mentioned by me, I was then, and am now only a tenant on said place, subject to paying rent and taxes, but the same is now of no income or advantage to me whatever. — Except the above and my clothing and bedding I have no estate or income. —
