Said John Warren is a very poor & infirm man, has been supported as a pauper by the town of Vinalboro' many years, & altho' poor is entitled to full credit.

I send you herewith the declaration of Rebecca Warren widow of Jn s Warren, under the act of July 7. 1838. Mrs. Warren deceased in March last, & Amos Stickney, Esq. it will appear, was duly appointed her Administrator. I believe that she never had any children. The case was delayed after the declaration was first taken, for evidence of the marriage, which it was difficult to prove by any record, as the town where she was married was not then incorporated. A copy of the publication was however obtained from Vassalboro'. It is believed that the evidence is now complete, altho' the proceedings in the Probate Court were delayed, in consequence of my inattention to the business.
The pension certificate may be sent to me.

In testimony whereof I hereunto subscribe my name, & affix the seal of said Court of Probate, the day & year first above written.
Geo. Robinson,
Reg. of Probate,

Augusta, Me., Nov. 23 d 1837.
Sir,
Some years ago John Warren of Vassalboro' in this County, made a declaration under the Act of Congress of June 7, 1832, which I believe was supported by the Certificate of the Secy. of Massachusetts, but my impression is that in consequence of being obliged to wait for a session of the court, the certificate of Mr Bangs was procured before the declaration was made, & consequently evidence was required by your Department. Knowing as I do that the rolls were examined from Mr Warren's previous statement, I believe that the rolls should be conclusive, & that you would so consider it, if you were satisfied of the fact. Mr Warren being old & supported by the Mrs, & the Officer whose duty it would be to see & his claim, relying upon Mr Rose for his services, & Mr Rose's health being so bad as to prevent his saying always what he intended to, or as to be fully understood, the case has been neglected. Mr Warren is not entitled to a pension under the act of July 1836, & the poor woman needs what is justly due her. I am fully satisfied that the claim is just for all that part of the declaration supported by the rolls. I have made an affidavit which I

believe you will be satisfied with. & as it regards service not proved, no allowance need be made for it. The papers are now on file in your department. I trust that they will now be found satisfactory.
I cannot believe but what my statement in this case made upon oath, will have some weight with you.

Mr Mozart Jr Augusta Me

I William Woart, Jr., of Augusta, Kennebec county, Maine, on oath testify & say, that I well knew John Warren late of Vassalboro' in the same county, deceased, who was an applicant for a pension under the Act of Congress of June 7 th , 1832; that in the Spring of 1834, (eighteen hundred thirty four,) I was passing through said town of Vassalboro', with the late Robert B. Vose, Esq., deceased, the having business at the Alm's house in said town, we stopped there, & while there saw said John Warren, who was an old & infirm man, very ignorant & forgetful: that he complained that he was a poor pauper, when, as he stated, he ought to be in the receipt of a pension from the United States for his Revolutionary services. I thereupon questioned him particularly as to his services, & with the assistance of his aged wife, he related them in part, of which I then made a memorandum. I distinctly recollect that he said he served six months in or near Boston Harbour, in Col. Marshall's regt. that he afterwards performed other service, & in 1780, the year of "the dark day," (he recollected the year from that fact,) he served six months more in Col. Sprouts or Bradfords regiment, but which I am now unable to say, & am not positive that he recollected which, but do know that he stated where the service
was

was performed where the Colonel lived, & why he happened to serve under him. The said Warren & his wife were extremely anxious about their rights, but had no idea what course to take in order to obtain them. Mr Rose promised him assistance, and I know that said Warren afterwards made a declaration in open court, but for what service or how it was proved, I cannot fully state. My impression is that it was supported by the certificate of the Secretary of State of Massachusetts, & the evidence of Richard Warren a brother of said John. Said Richard Warren is entitled to full credit. John Warren deceased at said Nashboro'; I was at the time a poor pauper. I make this statement on behalf of the widow, being requested by one of the Selectmen to aid in procuring what is justly her due. As it regards the precise time when I was at said Alms house in the spring of 1834, I can say that from the date of some papers I have access to, which were executed on that day in the same town, I can say with some confidence, that it was on the 30 th day of April 1834,
