Sir,
Yours of Date the 16 th respecting the Claims of Mrs Lydia Heston has been duly received, and In answer I have to state that I was not aware I had attempted to presume an examination for service not expressed in her Supplemental Declaration of Date the 28 th of June last, or of Date July 28 th int. or very near those dates, - possible I may have been mistaken in directing your attention to one or more of the services,
Yours of Date July 20 th allows service established. 8 months 14 days. Soon after that was received, evidence was forwarded in support of 6 months service in left John Minots lo- cal Dikes Regt. and another service set forth in her Supplemental of 3 months under left John Newtwell Co. Col. Dikes Regt. Evidence from the Secretarys Office, making an increase of 9 months to the 8 months 14 days as appears would be 17 months 14 days. (The 3 months in left Andrewes Co not included.) Yours of date Augt- 7 th gave an increase of service established. 6 months in left John Newtwell Co in 1776 and 1777. also refers to another list of those men that did duty to March 1 st 1779. (which I presume should be to March 1777.)

and no increase of service is mentioned in left John Minots L. I now propose to you to make a further, and fair examination of her claims, and hereafter a Pension certificate for all that Mrs Weston can justly be entitled to receive agreeable to all the evidence exhibited

Pierce, and in October 1779, he again engaged and rendered near three months service at Claverick in the State of New York in the company of Capt. Walker in the Regiment of Col. Danna, and in June 1780, he again engaged rendered three months service on Brattle Hill in the State of Rhode Island, in the company of Capt. Andrew in the Regiment of Col. Lipson Howe, and it is her impression that she rendered other services as a Substituta for some persons which she does not at this time recollect, as she firmly believes she was in the service of this country nearly half the time after she became enabled in the company in the aforesaid town of Lincoln, to near the close of the Revolution, She further declares that she was married to the said Daniel Weston in the year seventeen hundred and ninety three, that the ceremony was performed by the Reverend Charles Stearns, that her husband the aforesaid Daniel Weston died in the month of September eighteen hundred and twenty two, that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the first day of January seventeen hundred and ninety four, at the time stated in her first declaration.

Dear Sir, Yours from the Commissioner of Pensions of State Augt-7 th int. respecting the claims of Mrs Lydia Weston has been received, and enclosed with Mrs Bates Wheelers a communication respecting the same which has not been answered, and has probably been lost. I here with wish to state that Daniel Weston served as more recently appears evident, 6 months in 1 st John Minot's Co- in 1776, - immediately after 3 months in 1 st John Newtack's Co making 9 months service which should be added to the established service of 8 months - and 14 days, as stated July 20 th int- making 17 months and 14 days, it appears evident from two witnesses, who have testified, and another that can testify, that the said Daniel Weston was in the service on Battle Hill in 1780. But if his name is not on 1 st Androscoggin Roll in that service, it's possible that he served for some person, or was an officer there, which I am not able clearly to ascertain, therefore if Mrs Weston can have a Pension Certificate for 17 months and 14 days if no more is found, it will be accepted Very Respectfully Yours &c Elijah Platts

Secretary's Office, June 30 th 1841.
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 Daniel Weston is borne on a "Muster Roll of Captain Daniel Harrington's Company in the Service of the United States, Commanded by Colonel Jonathan Reed taken June the 1 st 1778, engaged for 3 Months from the 1 st of April." It further appears that Daniel Weston with fifty eight others signed a list and receipt thereby acknowledging the amount to have been paid him in full for his Continental Services - for three months. In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto affixed the Seal of the Commonwealth, the date above written.
