The subscriber Mary Coombs, daughter of Mr Samuel Coombs formerly of Brunswick, aged sev- enty-five years, upon oath, do testify — that when I was about fourteen years of age I went to live in Topsham with Mr John Graves who lived within a mile of Mr Samuel Staples. While living in Topsham I was well acquainted with Sibylle Staples the daughter of the said Samuel Staples, who was about my age. I know she was published to Mr William Walker who it was said belonged to Fal- mouth, in the old meeting house in Topsham — And I was present at her marriage to the said William Walker. The marriage was solemnized by the Rev John Miller of Brunswick who I well knew for he had been my mis- -ter. I do not recollect the time ex- -actly when this marriage took place but my impression is that I was about Eighteen years of age — She removed to Falmouth soon after she was married where I have understood they lived several years.

I was invited to their wedding - and went with my sister and Mary Coombs - and they are both now alive. When we arrived at Sybil Staples, we found they were gone over the river to be married by Mr Miller who could not marry them only in Massachusetts - there being no one in Topsham who was authorized to marry - The party that went to the marriage went to the river - a part of them went over with Sybil Staples & Wm Walker & a part stood on the bank on the Topsham side - There on the bank on Topsham side, saw the ceremony performed under a tree, & remained to receive them on the return of the Ferry boat - I have seen the tree many a time where it was said she was married & if there now, can show it. This is what I have heard & have been told. I was at the house of Sybil Staples father Samuel Staples wait- ing for the return of the new married couple - When they arrived, Capt Thomas Berry came with them - and said, well, we have got them married at last - We all went into the house, & we considered William Walker & Sybil Staples as man & wife. They had got one Black Philib, a Nigger fiddler, he fiddled & we all danced until eleven o'clock at night - when we had a supper & a good time & every thing went on merrily - I was not 21 years of age when I went to this wedding - but I think I was in my twenty first year - I cannot be positive - I may have been 21 years of age - I knew Wm Walker & Sybil Staples some years after & they had children. Upon their consideration, I think I was nearly one year married - they were married in

Dear Madam:
You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W.22501 , that William Walker , the son of George Walker, was born March 28, 1754 in Falmouth, Cumberland County, Massachusetts, District of Maine.
While residing in said Falmouth, he enlisted and served as a private with the Massachusetts troops, as follows- from January 1776, one year in Captain William Crocker's company; immediately afterward, three months in Captain Joshua Merrill's company, Colonel Fogg's regiment, this service was as substitute for his father; in the fall of 1777, two months in Captain Abner Lowell's company.
He was allowed pension on his application executed July 16, 1832, then a resident of Peru, Oxford County, Maine.
He died December 1, 1833 in said Peru.
The soldier married September 4, 1783, Sybil Staples of Topsham, Maine. She was the daughter of Samuel Staples. The intention of marriage was published, August 16, 1783 and recorded on the records of the town of Falmouth, Maine.
His widow, Sybil, was allowed pension on her application executed, March 5, 1839, at which time she was living in Peru, Maine, and was aged seventy-four years.
She died August 16, 1849 in Peru, Maine, leaving

the following children- Susanna White, Sarah Hobbs, Charity Kyle, George Walker, William Walker, Nathan Walker, and Samuel Walker.
In 1839, Josiah Hobbs of Livermore, Maine, stated that he married one of the daughters of William and Sybil Walker.
This office has no general genealogical data on file, and Revolutionary War data furnished is obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon military service of soldiers in that war.
In order to identify the record of the soldier, with surname Walker, who you state was the father of Elizabeth, it is essential that you give the full name and as much as possible of the following data in regard to him- approximate dates of birth and death and places of residence at enlistment and after service.
Very truly yours

Chief of Pension Office Washington D.C. Dear Sir:— I wish to find out if you have the record of the service of William Walker of Chelms- ford or near that town Mass. in the war of the revolution or any previous war
He was given a grant of land in Vinton Maine and settled there after the war
I wrote to the Sec. of the Interior

of Mass who wrote me that there was records of several William Walkers in different towns of Mass. but none from Chelseaford the town where I have been told he lived before the war, but I know that this one had the land in Milton Maine given him, as I under- stand, by the U. S. Government - I know that he married Dorothy Asgood but whether before or after the war I do not know -
If you can give me any in- formation I shall be very grateful Mrs. E. M. Stevens

Perhaps this William was the father of Elizabeth Walker. Do you have a pension record for him? Or, George Walker's cousin was Joseph Walker who had 13 Children whose names I do not know. He may have
