ON THIS seventeenth day of October A. D. 1832, personally appeared in open Court, before the Buckland Court of Common Pleas of the Probate said Commonwealth, now sitting at Greenfield within and for the said County of Franklin, by adjournment  Amos Wood a resident of Buckland in the County and Commonwealth aforesaid, aged Seventy four years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of an act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated.
On the 19 th of April 1775, hearing of the battle at Lexington, and having been previously enrolled in a Company of Minutemen, being then Seventeen years old, he marched with the Company, then commanded by Capt. Amos Wood , to Cambridge in the State, and served as a drummer till the first of May 1775, two weeks, he then enlisted as a drummer for eight months in Capt. David Backe's Company, Col. Joseph Reed's Regt. and served in that office the whole term & was stationed at Roxbury near Boston. In the winter 1776 he entered the service again in Capt. Benjamin Farrar's Company in Col. Nathan Tyler's Regiment for six weeks, was appointed by Col. Tyler to the office of drum major and marched to Providence in Rhode Island. In the next winter 1777, he again went into the service for three months, in Capt. Craggins Company in Col. Sproat's Regt. and was appointed to the office of drum major by Col. Sproat, and served in that office the whole term of three months. In the winter of 1780 he entered the service at Newtown in the State of Rhode Island. In the winter of 1780 he entered the service as a Substitute for Stephen Saddler for three months in a company commanded by Capt. Lamb. St. Ebenezer Mattson served in the same company at Warwick in Rhode Island the whole term & was appointed a corporal in the Company. The same year I believe in the month of July I entered the service for four weeks in Capt. Thomas Baker's company in Col. Tyler's Regt. and was stationed at Tiverton in Rhode Island. In the year 1778. I enlisted in a company commanded by Capt. Martin in Col.

Dr. Sir: I am requested by Mr. Amos Wood of Dorchester, Mass. on Revolutionary pensions, under the Act of 9 th of June 1832, to enquire of you, whether he is intitled to a pension under the Act of 18 th March 1818. He says he served as a private in Col. Michael Jackson's Regt. nine months under our con- tinentals during the year after the surrender of Burgoyne, and that he proved this service in obtaining his present pension. If his statements be correct, I suppose he might make a new declaration under the Act of 1818, and be placed on the list under that Act. If he is lawfully intitled to a pension under the Act of 1818, I presume you would readily ap- point him such information as will enable him to sub- stantiate his claim. If you will take the trouble to examine the papers on file in his case, and inform me whether he can obtain a pension & pension under the Act of 1818. I shall esteem it as great kindness to the old soldiers as well as to your humble servant,

Sir,
At your request I have examined Amos Wood's case. He is not entitled to a pension under the act of March 18. 1818, not having served nine months in the continental army. A man of that name was in Jackson's reg t but he did not serve so long as nine months.

Sir
Your letter of the 6 th inst. to the Hon. Geo. Grennell Jr. States - "I have received the affidavit of Saml. Brackett in support of the claim of Amos Wood i d " &c. "The alleged service in the companies of Capt. Lamb and Capt. Baker in 1780- yet remain to be established by proof."
Your letter addressed to me, of the 12 th of last July - States - "The result is" (i.e. the examination of the rolls) "proofs of nine months 29 days by the rolls, viz, eight months drummer, Capt. Bachelor in 1775; - One month 14 days drummer, Capt. Farrar in 1776; - 15 days drummer Capt. T. H. Baker in 1780; - to which may be added 21 days under Capt. Martin" &c.
"His name is not found on Capt. Sam l Graggins roll for service in 1776 in R. Island, nor on that of Capt. Lamb in 1780" &c. "The service which may be allowed in the present state of the proof is ten months and 20 days."
Then in a subsequent letter addressed to me under date of the first day of August last, it is said, "Upon further examination of the rolls in the case of Amos Wood, it appears that Stephen Sadler, of whom he alleges he was a substitute is credited on the rolls for the whole of the term of the service under Capt. Lamb , and as claimants name is not found on Capt. Graggins roll, that term can not be allowed unless established by" proof &c.
(over)

The affidavit of Saml. Brackett was furnished to prove the service under Capt. Caggin, which was the only remaining service to be proved, as I had supposed, except two weeks under Capt. Ezra Wood in 1775-
It would appear by the above correspondence that 13 months and 20 days service was allowed. Sir-
  8 months  under  Capt. Buel  in 1775-    1 "  -14 days  " - Capt. Faxon  in 1776    0 -  21 days  " Capt. Morton  in    0 -  15 days  " Capt. Baker  in 1780    3 -  0 -  " Capt. Lomb sub. for Stephen Sadler  in 1780       13 -  20  "  "  
To be proved 3 months under Capt. Saml. Caggin and 2 weeks under Capt. Ezra Wood. We have no proof of the 2 weeks under Capt. Wood, unless the rolls show it.
The deposition of Saml. Brackett was procured to prove the service under Capt. Caggin, as before stated, and it is hoped it will be satisfactory to the Department - and the claimant allowed his pension according to his rank.
It is desirable that a decision in Mr. Wood's case should be made as soon as any way convenient for he is in want of his pension.
Yours very respectfully

Hon. Geo. Grennell Jr. Mt. 6 Washington D.C.

Greenfield Nov 30 th 1837
Brother Gremeth
Enclosed is Amos Woods Pen. Certif. They do not allow time enough. His old pension certificate was for $60.82 per year - and the time declared for in his first declaration was 17 months & 21 days - to wit
2 weeks under Capt. Ezra Wood Sumner in 1775 - 8 months under Capt. David Bachelor do in 1775 - 6 weeks under Capt. Honor Snow Maj. 7 in 1776 3 months under Capt. Saml. Craggin in 1777. (Def. says 2/1/78 or 9 months) 3 months under Capt. Saml. Lamb substitute for Stephen Sadler in 1780 4 weeks under Capt. Thos. Baker in 1780 3 weeks under Capt. Isaac Martin in 1778- or 80 2 17- 21 days -
Mr Edwards says in his letter under date of 12 th July last "The result is" (i.e. the examination of the rolls) "proof of nine months & 29 days by the rolls, Sir,"
"8 months drum? Capt. Bachelor in 1775 -
1 " 14 days drum? Capt. Honor in 1776 -
0 - 15 days drum? Capt. T. M. Baker in 1780. to which may be added
0 - 21 days under Capt. Martin of whose Company there is no roll for that period"
"His name is not found on Capt. Saml. Craggin's roll for service in 1776 in R. Island, nor on that of Capt. Lamb in 1780. The service which may be allowed in the present state of the proof is ten months and twenty days"
Then in his letter under date of Aug 1 st last, he says
"Upon further examination of the rolls in the case of Amos Wood it appears that Stephen Sadler, of whom he alleges he was a substitute, is credited on the rolls for the whole term of service under Capt. Lamb" "And as, claimant's name is not found on Capt. Craggin's roll that term can not be allowed unless established by two credible witnesses" &c.
(over)

Then under date of 6 th of Aug. last he writes. "The affidavit of Saml. Brackett in support of the claim of Amos Wood 2 nd is received & placed on file with his papers." "The alleged service in the companies of Capt. Lamb about Baker in 1780- yet remains to be established by proof."
Whereupon I wrote him under date of Oct 27- last stating to him the result of his former correspondence, to wit-
m - d 8 - 0 under Capt. Bachelor in 1775- 1 - 14 under Capt. Fossar in 1776 0 - 15 under Capt. Baker in 1780 0 - 21 under Capt. Horton no roll se. 3 - 0 under Capt Lamb sub. for S. Saddle- 13 - 20
I also stated to him that the affidavit was furnished to prove the 3 mo. service under Capt. Braggins, which was the only remaining service to be proved, according to his previous admissions. And hope that the S d affidavit would be satisfactory for the 3 mo. under Capt. Braggins, and requested which would make 16- 20 d service - and requested a decision of Mr. Wood's case -
The answer to my letter was the enclosed certificate for $48.77-. They could not have allowed the 16- 20 d - Mr. Wood wants his case reviewed, more time allowed and a new certificate granted.
You will see by the enclosed depositions of E. Bachelor & D. Fish that there are two witnesses to the service under Capt. Braggins, 3 months - tho' the service is stated to have been in 1778 & 9- by Ensign Bachelor Wood states that it was in 1777 (see first page)
You will also see that by Mr. Bachelor's dep. the service under Capt. Baker is increased 6 days.

Mr. Wood is very anxious to get his money, he says he wants it. That he stands in need of it, and wants you, to attend to his business as soon as you can -
Will you enquire about old Mrs. Eunice Deon's case?
Mr. Ball thinks that his mother's husband served as a Serjt., wants you to see to it - see. Will you look to Mrs. Hathaway's case also?
Yours &c A. Mainard

In your letter of 12 th inst. respecting the claim of Mr. Amos Wood, it is stated, that "His name is not found on Capt Samuel Braggins roll for service in 1776 in R. Island; nor on that of Capt Lamb for either 1778 or 1779." etc.
Mr. Wood desires me to state to the Department that he served 3 months in 1776 at Newtown R.I under Capt Saml. Braggins as a drum Major. And that if his name is not borne on the company roll of Capt. Braggins; his name will probably be found on the Staff Roll of the Regt. He being considered as an officer of the Col's Right Staff; He says that Capt Braggins company was in Col. Sprout's Regt. And that Nathan Tyler was the Lieut. Col. thereof. For proof of this service. (see Benja. Brackett's dep. on file.
He desires me to state further, that he served 3 months in 1777 or 1778 under Capt Samuel Lamb in R.I. on Warick Neck. as a substitute for one Stephen Sadler . That he served the 3 months as a corporal. And that Ebenezer Mattson was his lieutenant, who was present and knew of his service. The fact, that Mr. Wood served as a substitute, the 3 months aforesaid, may now have been

overlooked in the investigation. or may be a reason, why his own name is not found upon the rolls, or that Stephen Sadler's name takes the place of Amos Woods upon the rolls. He states further, that on reflection, he thinks that he is mistaken in the year, and that it was in the year 1778 instead 1777 that he served under Capt. Lamb. That it was in the year that Gen. Sullivan had an engagement with the enemy. in R.I. He states further, that during the 3 mo. service in 1776 aforesaid, he went with others to South Kingston (Called Little Rest) R.I. to guard the Court, there sitting, against interruption from the Tories.
He begs the Department to make further investigation. of the facts above stated. and offers as an apology for troubling them further, that the above six months service was actually performed by him, and that he is justly entitled to the benefit thereof.
Yours very respectfully Almon Brainard

The foregoing letter signed by Almon Brainerd Esq was written in my presence & by my direction & I have carefully attended to the reading of it, & I state on oath the facts therein mentioned are true.
