BA-J/ILL Peter Warren S. 35702
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter of April 19, 1938, addressed to the Comptroller General, this city, which has been referred to this office for further reply in regard to Peter Warren, who served from Massachusetts in the Revolutionary War.
A search of the Revolutionary War records has been made and only one claim for pension found based upon service of a Peter Warren. The data which follow are found in the papers on file in that claim, S. 35702, and may aid you in your research.
Peter Warren, while a resident of Scarborough, Cumberland County, District of Maine (then Massachusetts), belonged to Captain Samuel Toms' company of militia, was called out in May 1778, in that company, Colonel Tupper's Massachusetts regiment, marched to Fishkill, New York, and continued until the expiration of nine months, re-enlisted under the same officers and served until January 13, 1780, when he was discharged by Captain Lieutenant Clark, who was in command of the company.
The soldier resided about the year 1814, in Kennebec County, Maine District, at which time he had most of his property destroyed by fire; in 1816, he moved from "East Pond settlement" in said Kennebec County, to Zanesville, Muskingum County, Ohio. Peter Warren left six living children in Kennebec County when he went west, no names stated.
Peter Warren was allowed pension on his application executed April 16, 1818, at which time he resided in Zanesville, Ohio. He gave his age then as sixty years, but did not state the date and place of his birth, nor the names of his parents. He stated then that he had no relatives in that part of the country.
11/18/38 Silas Clark Nathan

In January 1828, Peter Warren had returned to Kennebec County, Maine, to reside with his children. The name of the soldier's wife, date of their marriage, and the names of these children are not shown.
In 1828, one Hugh Osbourn, aged sixty years, stated that he had been acquainted with Peter Warren for about twenty years, also, that he had been a pensioner of Ohio when he (Peter Warren) drew his pension there, and that he was living in Kennebec County, Maine, also.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name of person paid, and, possibly, the date of death of this pensioner, you should address the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following:

And, in pursuance of the act of the 1 st of May 1820, I do solemnly swear, that I was a resident citizen of the United States, on the 18 th day of March, 1818, and that I have not since that time, by gift, sale, or in any manner, 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 "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 1818; and that I have not, nor has any person in trust for me any property or se-

No articles of property mentioned - which money I appropriated to the purchase of the N.W. gr. of S. 2, T. 10, R. 12, in the Danville district.

The above mentioned horse, and the ten dollar note. All the balance of the money I have spent in the most economical manner for my support, and am now destitute. (Signed) Peter Warren.

State of Ohio - Ross County Supreme Court 3 rd S er .
On this 11 th day of December 1821 Personally appeared, in open court being a court of Records for the County and State of Ohio, Peter Warren aged sixty three years and upwards, resident in Ross County and State of Ohio aforesaid, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath declare that he served in the revolutionary war as follows: viz, That he served more than eighteen months a soldier in the Revolutionary war, in the company commanded by Captain Samuel Jones, Col d Tiffey's regiment, Gen l Patterson's Brigade of the New England line, and that he was discharged at West Point on the 13 th day of January 1780 by Lieut col Clark then commanding said company belonging to the reg t Brigade & Line aforesaid - And I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18 th day of March 1818: and that I have not since that time, by gift, sale, or in any other manner 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 18 th day of March 1818, and that I have not now 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; So writ

That since he has been placed on the pension list he has purchased the three fourths of a quarter Section of Land in the State of Ohio now in its natural State without any Improvements whatever thereon; which is all the property he owns and is worth one Hundred fifty dollars: that he has applied his former pension to the payment of the purchase money for said Land; hoping thereby to procure for himself a home of which he is now destitute but from one day to another; and although for three months past he has been sick and is now weak and debilitated he is living on the charity of strangers & having no relative in this country that he has no other occupation than a day labourer: that the increasing infirmities of old age together with a total rupture; renders him incapable of earning his living by manual labour and on account of his late sickness is unable by labour or otherwise to pay for his daily subsistence he being now in suffering circumstances, cannot subsist without public or private charity his Land being in a state of nature he can derive no advantage from it: and as Sixty Dollars of the purchase money remains unpaid to Government the Land and money paid thereon must be inevitably forfeited to government and be a public charge to the county of Ross; without a further continuation of his pension. That he was placed on the pension list the 17th day of April 1819 as will appear by certificate No. 9392 which is his sole dependance for a living. That he has no children living with him but in 1816 he left Liv-

children alive in the District of Maine all of whom are in indigent circumstances. That on account of his having served in the Revolutionary war, though the time limited by law to entitle him to a pension together with his real property and distressed situation, I believe, he has a just claim on his country — Signed Peter Warren Sworn to and subscribed in open court Dec r 11 th 1821.

Will you kindly inform me what you find on record of a Capt. Peter only one Warren who was in Col. Mitchell's regt. of Mass. troops? The only information I have about him is contained in the following; in D. A. R. Lineage Rec. Vol. 159, p. 160 a David Warren, (1760-1847) private, in Cpt. Peter Warren's co. Col Mitchell's regt. of Massachusetts troops. (Col. Jonathan Mitchell.) David Warren, b. Gorham, (m?) d. Hartford, Me.
Can you tell me if there is anything on record of this Capt. Peter Warren, of his children, wife, or parentage, or the place and date of his death, etc. In mention of his children, if he had a daughter Lydia who married Thomas Betterley, Jr. of Boston and Worcester, Mass. Or if he had a pension, and if so when was the last payment and where, for we understand that in the obituary of this Lydia Warren Betterley, (1839) it stated that it was wished that the Maine papers would please copy the death notice, but to what purpose, it is not known. It is possible that it was because her children were in Maine, instead of her father, but her parentage is not known, and we are hunting all possible clues. It is thought there might have been two sets of children in Lydia's family and after the father married (2) he might have gone to Maine, etc.
Thanking you for any possible clue that you may find, I am,
Sincerely,
