I John White of Leicester in the County of Lenox & State of Massachusetts, being sixty four years of age, do hereby declare that I am a citizen of the United States and present in said Leicester - It was about the 10th of April or May 1775 I enlisted as a private soldier into the revolutionary war in Capt. Jacob Hinds Company of Col. James Reed's Re- giment of John Sullivan's Brigade in the New Hamp- shire line, for the term of eight months, but when Gen. Washington joined the army at Cambridge, in order to have time to enlist a new army of the United States that the eight months men should engage for one month longer so I accordingly enlisted so to do, & served nine months, when I was regularly discharged, but have lost my said discharge. And I do further testify & declare that some time in February 1776 as I think I enlisted again as a private soldier in the war of the revolution on the continental establishment for the term of one year in Capt. Daniel Cook's Com- pany of Col. M'Call's Regiment & General Reed's Brigade in the New Hampshire line, & I marched to Trenton in said Regiment & we besieged the City

of Iuka, but failing of taking it we lay there till the river opened & then retreated to Second rings & I then served out the year, and at the close of said year I was honorably discharged from the Army, which discharge I have since lost. And I am now debilitated in all parts of my body and have nearly lost the use of all my limbs, of my knees in par- ticular, and am very indigent in reduced circumstances, and stand in great need of the assist- ance of my country for support. Affidavit of M.P. And I further testify that I have further evidence now in my power of the said services - and I hereby relinquish all claims to every pension hereafter afforded me by the Govt of the United States of any kind or nature, as allowed by all the above services were against the common enemy -

H. in January, 1774 in Capt Dan Bartlett's Company, in Col. Folsom's Regiment of the New Hampshire line for one year; — Unit was Detached, & Isaac Butterfield Major, of said Regt. I marched in said Company & Regiment from thence to Canada, and joined the Army after Montgomery's defeat. Our Regiment was then divided, & the Company to which I belonged was detached to guard some Mills, where we remained all winter, & the ensuing Spring we retreated to Montreal, & from thence to Sackett's Harbor, where we were stationed at Mount Independence till the ensuing January, of 1777, when I was generally discharged, & my Discharge, if I ever had one is lost. The date of my original application is April 22. 1818. which was rejected and returned, my name not being found on the rolls, as I was informed.

In answer to that part of the enclosed letter from Mr. Clark concerning Bedel's regiment. I have to inform you, that at no period of the War, except in the year 1776, was that regiment on the continental establishment.
I am, respectfully, Your obedt. Servt.. J. L. Edwards

Wisasset, August 31 st 1823.
Dear John to Bathurst
Sir
Enclosed is John White
Declaration & Schedule to enable him to obtain his Pension, His original application & the necessary dispositions were forwarded to your Department some time since, When I received a communication from Mr. Edwards, stating that the case could not be acted upon till the Declaration & Schedule were filed. You will perceive that Mr. White is a peculiar case; His original application was in April 1818 at which time it was returned with information, that Bedel's Regiment was not on the Continental establishment and all hope of obtaining the Pension given up. Mr. White still however maintaining, that when he enlisted, he was told it was on the Continental establishment, & thro' his importunity I was induced to write Mr. Hill on the subject during the last Session of Congress, who forwarded me a letter from Mr. Edwards stating, that Bedel's Regiment was on the Continental Establishment in 1776.
So it appears that Mr. White's first application was good, & but for the mistake at Head Quarters, would doubtless have been allowed, as his proof could as easily have been obtained then as now ; He therefore hopes that his case will be duly considered & he allowed his arrears. He is very poor & infirm, & is in hope that his unfortunate case will be so far considered that his Ticket will be made payable

the 4 th of the ensuing month; it is his only dependence & has been, his subsistence for some time past.
With sentiments of high consideration
I am Sir your Obedt Servt

I herewith transmit the papers of Mrs Nancy White, widow of John White claiming a pension under the Act of July 7. 1838. I respectfully request you to transmit me for her a certificate if the papers are satisfactory. I have been acquainted with the applicant for several years & know her to be the same person who received as the widow of John White the pension from the last payment made to him, to the day of his death. The record of the intention of marriage is the best evidence she is able to present in support of her claim  that fact , this together with the affidavit of Lady Dearborn it is hoped will be deemed sufficient to establish her claim to the benefits of the law under which she claims a pension.
I am very respectfully

Sir,
I herewith have the honor to enclose you the Petition of John White a Revolutionary Soldier, which came back rejected in 1818. because "Beadele's Regiment was not on the Continental establishment" — and the Petitioner, name "not to be found on the Rolls" —
The Petitioner now thinks both these difficulties can be explained. —
With much respect your most
Obedient Servant
Levi Bailey
Hon. Secretary of War

Member of Congress Washington.

Wiscasset Feb 22 nd 1823
Hon M. I. Hill
Dear Sir Enclosed is a letter to the Pension Office (War Department), containing the original application of necessary proof, to enable Mr John White of this Town to obtain his Pension - you will perceive that the application was made as far back as April 21 1818, and returned. The reason of its being rejected you will perceive endorsed on the back of it, & Mr White consequently considered his case as hopeless, as he there saw he was "not on the Rolls and Beardly Regiment not on the Continental establishments." Not long since he was informed by way of New Hampshire, that Beardly Reg t  recognized as  was in the Continental service a certain part of the Revolutionary War, I requested me to address you on the subject; I accordingly did & received from you the enclosed letter from Mr Edwards, stating that in 1776 Beardly Reg t was on the Continental establishments, & very luckily for Mr W. it happens to be the very year he served in it, as will appear by his documents. It therefore appears, that there was a mistake as to this Regiment when Mr White first applied, and that mistake was made at the Pension Office, otherwise he doubtless would have obtained his Pension among others who applied at that time, as the necessary proof could, as easily have been obtained then as now , neither of the Defendants (you will perceive) living.

more than Fifty miles from this Place. Mr White therefore hopes that he will not be deprived of the benefit which others have received who were similarly situated as to proof of service; namely, in receiving his arrear, as it is apparent, that the mistake did not originate on his part.
He is very poor, & has been, for a long time. I hope if possible that his arrear may be made payable the 4 th of the ensuing Month. Your early attention to the same is respectfully requested & any exertions on your part to expedite the business will be most thankfully received.
With considerations of esteem
Your hum ble Serv t & Friend Nathan Clarke Jr
N.B. If you can conveniently, it is desired that you would call at the War Office & make such representation of this case as you think proper & necessary.
