I, Nathan iel Wing, of Wilton in the County of Kennebec, and District of Maine, aged fifty three years, a resident citizen of the United States, desiring to obtain the provi- sion made by the Law of Congress entitled "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States, in the revolution- ary war," and to be placed on the pension list for the District of Maine, do on oath testify and de- clare: That at Gorham in Maine, in April, if I rightly recollect, in the year 1782, I enlisted for three years , as a pri- vate soldier, in Capt. Holbrook's company, in Col. Sheppard's regiment, on the continental establishment in the Massachusetts line, in the war of the revolution, and served until June, or about that time, in the year 1784, being more than two years; when the war being ended I was honourably discharged at Constitution Island near West Point. My discharge was many years ago delivered to a Doctor Boorman of Gorham in Maine, who is since dead, and I know not that the same is now in existence. By reason of my reduced circumstances in life I am in need of assistance from my country for support.

I know of no person in this County who can testify to my services, and it is not now in my power, by reason of distance and uncertainty, to procure further evidence: Nathan Wing

I Jacob Chandler, of Wilton, in Maine, on oath testify and declare: That I am a near neighbour to Nathan Wing the signer of the annexed affi- davit: That I know him to be an industrious man, but seduced in property and in debt: he has an expensive family and stands in need of assistance from his country for sup- port.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the Seal of the said Court to be hereunto affixed, this 27 th day of July in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighteen.

We the subscribers selectmen of the town of Farmington in the County of Kennebec and State of Maine on oath declare that the following statement relative to the Property and family of Nathan Wing of Farmington aforesaid is true in every part
The said Nathan until within a few years owned a small farm in the town of Wilton from which he was able to obtain a comfortable living for himself and family he was induced by his son Joshua Wing to become surety for him for the sum of fifteen hundred Dollars which the said Joshua immediately on his receiving left this part of the country and Nathan his father has had to pay the whole of said sum that he was able to pay. His farm has been taken from him and all his stock of cattle He now lives as a tenant on a small farm in Farmington and last season the greater part of his proportion of its products was taken from him by authority of law to pay his debts & we think he is not now entirely clear of debts and has no real estate excepting a small piece of land lying in Chesterville containing about six acres which is unimprovable and of but very little or no value as income when
Said Wing has a family of six persons to wit wife and five children now with him four of his children are incapable of taking care of themselves - two of them are rendered incapable by infirmity and two from their age are so The other which is his oldest son that lives with him has been so feeble for the year past as to render him incapable of doing very little more than earn a living His wife also is said to be a very feeble woman and unable to labor very little

Farmington March 24, 1825
Sir, the subscriber, of Farmington in the County of Kennebec, State of Maine was stricken from the pension roll about 3 years since under an act of Congress directing the Secretary of War in that case. Application was thereafter made to be reinstated and the required evidence forwarded to the War office duly attested in legal form. Upon examining which your predecessor in office is said to have observed that I was wrongfully stricken off. From that declaration I was led to believe that the pension would again be granted me as the military service in the revolutionary war had previously been fully proved. For some reason (to the subscriber unknown) or forgetfulness or the pressure of business of office his name has never been restored, and he yet toils in poverty the result of an avoidable misfortune while many of his Fellow Soldiers are enjoying the bounty of the Government of that Country for whose Liberty & Independence he fought and suffered with them. The subscriber has taken the liberty of making this communication in the hope and belief that immediate attention will be given to his case and that the Hon Secretary of War will give him an immediate answer that he may know the cause of the delay before mentioned.

Sir,
I received your letter of the 22 d May last relative to the claim of Nathan Wing. This claim I particularly mentioned to you when in your City in the winter of 1822, and you observed that from your knowledge of the case there could be no doubt of Wing's being reinstated - The amount of property in first schedule was only 122.00 and he at that time owed more than one thousand dollars on account of his being surety for his son Dr. Joshua Wing, who I think you told me you recollected at Washington in 1819, he was then with Col. Sewell & Col. Hopkins and went with the latter to Mobile - The amount of property in the second schedule is only $23.00 - from his services (3 years) and having lost all his property and incumbered with debts he must upon a reexamination of his case be restored to his pension; if long services & extreme poverty are taken into consideration - I now enclose you the deposition of William Morigidge which will shew you the situation of the six acres of land, as well as to the poverty of the said Wing - I hope you will again consider this case and notify me with the result.

Deposition W m Morgridge in the case of Nathan Weing. vs Maine Roll N o 8060.
R. C. Vose, agent

I William Morgridge of Chesterville, Kennebec County, & State of Maine, of lawful age as testify, I say that I am well acquainted with Nathan Wing, a Revolutionary pensioner, who now resides in Farmington, Maine. — about five years since the said Wing, with three other persons bargained with me for about six acres of land in said Chesterville, the land was only valuable for the timber which was standing upon it and now the timber is taken off, the land is of little or no value, no deed was ever given by me of the land to the said Wing, nor have I ever been applied to for one, owing to the trifling value of the land since it has been stripped of the timber — and I further depose I say that the said Wing is a very poor man, and lost all his property by being surety for his son Dr. Asahel Wing, who absconded from this part of the country about five or six years since, leaving his Father accountable to pay debts for him to more than his Father was worth, and in consequence of said liability all of said Nathan Wing's property was taken before the year 1820, to pay his sons debts and the said Nathan owes at this time by reason of his sons failure debts to a considerable amount which he is wholly unable to pay. — W m Morgridge
