I Aaron Arnolds of Smithfield in the County of Providence on solemn oath do declare & say that I served upwards of Six Years in the Army and Navy of the Revolutionary War, and for more than two years of the time was attached to the Frigate Providence, under the command of Abraham Whipple Esq. That in the Autumn of 1777 I entered on board of her then lying in Providence as a Marine & when she had been enlisted her crew for several months. And I the said Aaron do further testify & say that in February following I well remember that Daniel Warner, now resident in Gloucester, entered on board said Frigate as a marine also - In April following 1778 according to my best recollection, We sailed on a voyage bound for France - We arrived in France the latter part of May or first of June, where we remained several months before We sailed for the United States. I also recollect the enlistment of a considerable number of men in France to man our Frigate, After we had enlisted a sufficient number, we sailed for the United States. We first arrived in Portsmouth, and from thence came to Boston where we arrived in November, the latter part of the month. - And I the said Aaron do further testify & say that said Daniel was on board said Frigate from February 1778. to November in the same year and always did his duty faithfully - And I also well remember that he again enlisted for another cruise and was attached to her for some time, but did go in her on account of ill health, all these facts are within my perfect recollection. † Aaron Arnolds

I, John Warner of Coventry in the County of Kent and State of Rhode Island on oath do certify and say That in the month of December 1777. I en- -listed as a Quarter Gunner, on board the Frigate Provi- dence under the Command of Com; Abraham Whipple, and continued on board of her untill she was cap- -tured by the enemy at Charleston (So. Carolina) in May 1780. And I the said Daniel do further testify and say That I will remember Daniel Warner — who was a marine on board said Frigate also; soon after my enlistment in December 77. I was requested by the Commodore to enlist more seamen as we were then short handed. I went home and in the neigh- -borhood enlisted sixteen good hands and came with them to Providence where said Frigate was then lying Among the sixteen was Daniel Warner who was my Brother. I think it was in January 1778, when said Daniel entered on board, but it might have been the first of February following. — According to my best

recollection it did not exceed four weeks from the time I entered which was in December before said Daniel had entered on board. — In April fol- -lowing, We sailed for France and fought our way through The British Fleet Then off Newport Harbour. We arrived in France after a passage of about Thirty Days and after remaining in France about Three months we set sail for The United States, I arrived first in Portsmouth and afterwards in Boston in November 1778. towards The latter end of The month. My Brother Daniel was with us during all The Voyage, had again consented to go another voyage I was attached to The Ship about Three months afterwards, when he was taken sick and discharged. I have a perfect recollection of The said Daniel having served from The latter end of January 1778 or first of February following, untill The end of The voyage to France and back to The United States which was in The latter end of The month of November following, and for Three months afterwards, for I first persuaded him to go, and enlisted him and he being my Brother I cannot be mistaken, said Daniel was attached to The Frigate over a Year before he was discharged, at The time of our enlistment we both lived in Gloucester. — John Warner

I herewith enclose the application of Mrs. Jemima Warner widow of Daniel for the annuity of pension under the act of July 7 1838 -
I am respectfully your obed servant B. Russell
J. L. Edwards Esq

Providence January 12 th 1825
Sir
The claim of Daniel Warner for a pension transmitted by me, has been pending in the pension office several years. The last letter concerning him, I recd from you was dated May 15 th 1822. in this letter you observe, that "his claim has been again examined but it did not satisfactorily appear that he served on board the Providence Nine Months & that his claim would remain suspended untill further evidence was produced" — Mr Warner is a poor man, and, he now works in a cotton factory, as a day labourer, & has not been able to produce further testimony untill lately — I now have the satisfaction to send two more depositions which I think must establish the fact beyond all doubt. Both the witnesses are well known to me and are men of credibility — The testimony of John Warner is very particular, he testifies that

that in January '98 he enlisted. Daniel Warner himself - & that he and the said Daniel went to France in the Frigate & did not arrive at Boston until the latter part of November following & that he con- tinued attached to the Frigate three months afterwards, Knowing as I do the character of this witness his tes- timony cannot be doubted. I would also observe that there are now, or have been three pensioners on the Roll of this State, who have obtained their pen- sions for the same services, precisely , as those of D Warner Their names are John Sept 19 Gonsalves John Harwood and John A Johnson Sept 19 these men received pensions for services on board the Providence during the same voyage to France - and all enlisted about the same time & I must say that Warner will have much reason to complain if he is to be excluded especially as he served longer by 3 months than any of them - He served from the latter part of January to the latter part of November which ten months & then he was again attached to the Frigate 3 months before he was discharged. - John A Johnson is dead but the other two now enjoy their pensions.

and I cannot but hope for that Warner's claim may be again examined and his name placed on the Roll of pensioners —
I am in very respectfully your obed servt
Benja Lowell
J. L. Edwards Esq

Providence April 18 1822
I had the honor of receiving a letter from you some time back wherein you state that the claim of Daniel Warner an applicant for a pension, who had served in Col. Lippitts regiment and also on board the Frigate Providence, had been examined - that his services in Lippitts regiment would not entitle him to a pension and that further testimony of his service on board the Providence would be required before his claim could be admitted - In compliance with that request I herewith enclose the deposition of William Waterman who was a commissioned officer on board said Frigate from '78 to '80 - which I presume will be satisfactory to the Department -
The depositions of John Genselva & John A Johnson which are now in the pension office with said Warner's application, prove that said Daniel enlisted in February 1778, and continued until November

Following when they were discharged and that when they were discharged they left said Warner on board whom they understood had enlisted for another cruise - and in addition to this the deposition of William Waterson proves that said Warner belonged to said Frigate not only during her voyage to France but that he belonged to her afterwards and was only pre- vented by sickness from going on another cruise - The two first prove the commencement of his service and the latter its termination, to wit just before the Frigate sailed which was several months after the arrival from France. These depositions, I think prove more than nine months service -
If agreeable I wish his case may be examined soon as he appears to be a meritorious applicant - N.B. his papers were retained in the pension office when the above mentioned letter was written to me -
I am Sir respectfully your most obt servt

Sir
In answer to your favor rec d a few days since stating in regard to Daniel Warner's application for a pension that if another deposition similar to that of John Warner taken on his behalf could be transmitted, the evidence would be satisfactory. I now enclose the deposition of Aaron Arnold which is very particular and positive as to the time he entered & left the Frigate. This deposition was taken in addition & explanation of his first deposition given in this case, & will be so understood & read on comparison of the two. It was taken, because, after revolving the subject in his mind he was able to state more particularly & positively the time that Daniel Warner entered & left the Frigate and from my knowledge of the deponent I have not the least doubt of its correctness. I do therefore request in his behalf that his pension may be allowed.
I am respectfully your obedient

This may certify that the Subscriber that I am well acquainted with Daniel Warner and his family living near by them for several years and have attended upon them as Physician that in the said Daniel Warner has been very lame and at times almost a cripple ever since I was acquainted with him so that he is unable to do but little for the support of his family his illness is occasioned by the Rheumatism or Gout in his hip that he is possessed of but little property. — That his wife is now and has been for a considerable time in a very poor state of health that he the said Warner has three of his Grand Children that are to support young the oldest perhaps ten or twelve years of age said Children are I believe all fatherless and that he must support them or the Town to which they belong. it is the opinion of the subscriber that his complaint is incurable and does increase upon him that he must and will stand in need of assistance from Charity or the Town to which he belongs if something more favourable should not turn up. —

Deposition of Aaron Arnold.
I Aaron Arnold of Smithfield in the County of Providence, in the State of Rhode Island in oath testify and say in addition to my former deposition given on the application of Daniel Warner, for a pension. — I have known said Daniel ever since the revolutionary War and have a perfect recollection of his having served on board the Frigate Providence under the Command of Com: A Whipple. From my best recollection I am very positive that said Daniel entered on board said Frigate the last of January 1778 or the first of February following, for I recollect that a number of men were enlisted about that time; the Frigate being short-handed said Daniel continued on board until said Frigate went to France and returned to the United States and arrived at Boston on the last of November following — I am confident it was the last of November for I recollect very well the ground was covered with snow and had been for some time. I had a furlough to visit my friends after we got home, and when I left the Frigate for that purpose I left said Daniel on board who had again agreed to go another cruise, but did not go on account of his being taken sick. Upon mature reflection and recollection I am confident in stating that said Daniel was on board said Frigate from the first of February 1778, to the last of November following, and was on board sometime afterwards before he was discharged, all these facts are within my perfect recollection.
