In 1820 he referred to his wife, aged sixty-eight years, name not stated, and a daughter, Martha, aged forty-six years. In 1824 a son, Sebre, was a resident of Willington, Connecticut. There are no further data on file relative to his family.

A few articles of household furniture, and kitchen furniture, utensils &c.

States that his land was deeded to David Lillibridge and Selra Weaver for debt. The cows and heifer were consumed in his family. See paper B.
The issues in this case are 1 st whether he has fairly disposed of his property. and 2 d whether the decision respecting his revolutionary service should be reversed.
Evidence as to the 1 st point
A copy of a mortgage is exhibited to David Lillibridge Junior for 60 acres of land to secure the payment of 4 notes of hand of $50 each of concurrent date with the mortgage payable in 1, 2, 3 & 4 years - mortgage executed and recorded Sept 1820.
After this the claimant sold the above land to his son Selra Weaver for the purpose of paying all his debts.
The deed to Selra exhibited. Dated 24 th Feby 1821. Rec d for record 3 d March 1823 - Consideration - $500.
Annexed to the paper B.

But on
$ 23. 00
Amos Littlebridge lent money in 1822. paid by the Son in 1823 12 00

Clark Littlebridge, administrator of David Littlebridge Junior Deceased, states that he holds 4 notes of hand unpaid against the claimant each of $ 50, secured by a mortgage on his land 200. 00
no evidence to show that the son has paid any part of this sum, or bound himself for that purpose.
Selra Meara exhibits a claim against his father for labor performed in the years 1817-18-19-20 151. 00 acknowledges that he has become obligated to pay his fathers debts to the amount of $560 For the foregoing see paper C. $ 505 00
Remarks.
The origin of the notes to Littlebridge Jr is not stated.
Written contract between the father and son not produced.
of the $155. paid by the son about $ 50 was contracted prior to March 18. 1818.
Evidence as to the 2 d point.
A caveat is filed with the papers, dated 28 th June 1824. by John Johnson who swears that the applicant was never in the continental service. And Asa Benton, and Solomon Pease swear that Johnson is a man of truth and veracity. For their affidavit see D.

M c Rice also swears that Elias Main, (a witness for the claimant originally) told him that he (Main) had sworn falsely, for the purpose of assisting the claimant to obtain a pension.
— The other side —
Elias Main denies the charge under oath.
Aaron Dakefs swears that Johnson is not reputed a man of truth.
West states on oath, that Johnson has not for many years and does not, now , sustain a fair character for veracity: That there has been a serious quarrel between him and the applicant, and that he is maliciously endeavoring to prevent his re-obtaining a pension.
all of which will be found among the papers marked C.
Remark. The evidence of service on which the claim was originally admitted is filed with the printed envelope marked H.
A letter has been received from the Hon. C. Wittie enclosing the certificate of sundry selectmen of the town of Willington whom he states to be entitled to full credit. These Selectmen state, that the claimant is now destitute of the means of support that they have examined the debts paid by the son for the father and are satisfied that he has paid the full amount of the farm, and that the transfer was without fraud.
See paper F.
The paper G contains correspondence not material to the case.
I certify that I have examined this case, and am of the opinion that according to the principles which have governed in previous decisions the claim ought not to be admitted, and for the following reasons. viz
1 st Because it does not appear that the son has complied with the alleged terms of the agreement, in consideration of which he took a title to his father's land.

2 nd There is no evidence that he is personally bound for the debt due to the estate of David Littlebridge, or for any part thereof. The same being yet unpaid.
3 rd The origin of that debt has not been stated.
4 th The sons claim for labor is inadmissible, no written contract having been offered in support of it, as required by the regulations of this Department.
J. L. Edwards May 1. 1826
5 th Because the evidence taken together, contradicts the opinion expressed expressed by the Selectmen of Wellington in their Certificate.

Dear Sir I take the liberty of enclosing to you some three pension applications, Gen. Elijah Chapman of this town and Thomas Weaver, of Wellington - Will you be so good as to lend your assistance at the War office in getting them granted - Gen. Chapman's in particular is a very hard case - he is really in a distressed situation - I wish if possible they might be acted on immediately so that if granted they may draw the 4 th of March - I wish also you would enquire after two other applications forwarded last fall from which I have heard nothing - Joseph Snell, and Nathan Root, - March 1819 Very Respectfully Your Obedient Servant Elisha Stevens PS The War office may direct to me on the subject of the enclosed applications E.

Sir, I forward you the applications of Gen. Elisha Chapman & Thomas Weaver to be restored to the pension list, with the communication of Elisha Stearns Esq. lately received by mail. The want of any personal knowledge of the merits of those two cases, prevents me from rendering any particular assistance. I think, I was formerly acquainted with Gen. Chapman, and have heard it remarked within a year past that he was very poor, but he and Mr. Weaver both live some twenty miles from me - Elisha Stearns Esq. is a person in whom great confidence may be placed, and I have no doubt from the representation he makes in his communication of Gen. Chapman's case, that he is a meritorious applicant of the other application I have no means of knowledge. I wish, Sir, as far as practicable, your would, act speedily on these cases agreeable to the request of Esq. Stearns, and give notice of the result.
I am, Sir, very respectfully Yrs. obedt Servt Eben D. D. D.

Hon John Calhoun, Solland, Conn July 24 1824 Secretary of War, Sir, I mentioned in my last letter that there was some doubt whether Thomas Weaver, applicant for a pension, was ever in the United States, & in the revolutionary war. I had my information from John Johnson, of a neighboring town, and whose deposition is inclosed. I supposed him to be entitled to credit, his veracity however is impeached as will be seen by the depositions of other witnesses. Elias Maine is one of the witnesses who originally swore to the services performed by Weaver. I requested to receive & forward all the evidence that the whole might be in possession of the department. Inclosed also are affidavits proving Weaver's debts.
I believe, on the application of Elijah Chapman, the Justice who took the depositions lately forwarded to prove his debts & the disposi- tion of his property omitted to testify as to the credibility of the witnesses. I have obtained & now inclosed a certificate to that effect as to all the witnesses, except the Justice testifying (Jonathan Durner Esq), and he being a Justice as appears from documents before sent; in this case I thought it unnecessary to obtain a certificate of his credibility. He is also State Atty for this County. If any thing further is wanted in this case, very Respectfully please inform me Yours Truly Elisha Stearns

a certificate of Gen a Barnes, his letter, filed with Elijah
P.S. In the case of Gen. Elijah Chapman some time has elapsed since the depositions were forwarded proving his debt & possibly it has been because his own affidavit of the origin of the mortgage debt was not sent. It was not supposed to be necessary as the debt to Sol o L. Fuller was due from the son of Gen. Chapman - the debt to Pleasants Pinney originated from an indorsement at the Bank and Joseph Boker, was of many years standing & much of it for work & labor. But I will obtain & forward his affidavit as soon as I can see him - E. Chapman
