I Nathaniel Webb of NewCastle in the County of Lincoln and State of Massachusetts, aged sixty six years, a resident citizen of the United States, desiring to obtain the provision made by a law 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" and to be placed on the pension list for the District of Maine, do on oath testify and declare: That at Woolwich, in Maine, about the first of May, 1775, I enlisted as a private soldier for eight or nine months. I am impressed it was for eight, in the company of Capt. Samuel McCobb, Col. John Nixon's regiment, in the Massachusetts troops or line, on the Continental establishment in the war of the revolution, and served out my term. I received a discharge, whether written or verbal, I am not certain: if written it is long since lost. Afterward, at said Woolwich, I enlisted as a corporal into the year's service of 1776, in the company of Capt. John Lane in the same Nixon's regiment, in the same line and on the same establishment, faithfully served out my time, and received an honorable discharge. A number of years ago I put the discharge into the hands of Joseph Boyd,

in hope that it might enable him to receive some arrearage of pay, and I have never since seen it nor do I know that it is in existence. I next enlisted into the three years' service as a corporal at said Woosick, in Capt. James Bancroft company, Col. Michael Jackson's regiment; in the same line on the same establishment, and served out my term, according to my recollection, within about three months; when I enlisted during the war, in Capt. Seward's company, Col. Grant's regiment, in which I served to the  almost to the end of the war, and received a discharge at Springfield in Massachusetts, having been above a year an invalid, though I have never received a pension. My discharge is long since lost. My disability arose from a lameness in my leg, which began at the battle of Princeton, I presume from the wound of a ball. It has never recovered, and now, and for fourteen years past have been, in pain from the same, and unfit for business. By reason of my reduced circumstances in life I am of need of assistance from my country for support. With small the

Dr. Sir.
I herewith return you the Acceleration papers in the Webb Pension case. They are now I trust and hope in our form. Living as I do at 130 miles from the Claimant it was attended with much trouble and cost however I hope it will soon be in your power to fully examine the case and I doubt not as it is so plain a case, it will meet with a favorable result. Since that time I wrote you sometime since that there appeared to be a mistake in the certificate you granted in the case of Lydia Hilton. The certificate is only for forty dollars per year for five years when according to the pension allowed her Husband Morrill Hilton it should have been eighty dollars per year for 5 years. I think you will on a moment's reflection or examination discover the error which I pray may be rectified by you as soon as the duty of your Office will permit. as the Certificate of $40 per year is six in my hands and I have not called for the payment of the same as I did not know but that when you found

out the mistake a new certificate would be forwarded for the full amount due and the one I now hold to be returned to you, but if it can be done agreeable to the rules of your Department, will you grant Mrs. Lydia Hittun a certificate for the balance due which you will see is $40 pr. year for 5 years. The Widow is very poor and I wish to obtain it for her as soon as I can get said certif- icate. —
Very Respectfully Yours
