Dr Sir
I have been in the habit of collecting the pension of Mrs. Eunice Stockwell, the widow of Solomon Stockwell, And as usual made out her papers for the 4th of March payment, & when present at the agents office in Albany was refused payment, the agent saying that "her pension had been increased under act of July 7. 1838 - & 3rd March 1843. & June 17. 1844. Also her husbands pension had been increased under act of June 7. 1832, And that the widow must wait till she got her Certificate" - These old widows have but little patience and I make this statement, supposing it possible that her certificate had been misdirected, or that whatever difficulty there might be in the way that it might be removed in due time & much oblige all concerned - If you wish to make any enquiries respecting myself, I refer you to Hon. Mr. Carpenter member of Congress. Whatever you may have to communicate on this subject you will please direct to me & much oblige.

I enclose Secy. of Mays Co. Ky of Service of Solomon Stockwell, & it tallies with the Service of the late husband of Eunice Stockwell to whom you granted a pension of $70 per year, I think she is not entitled to an increase of pay & also to an increase of pay on account of her late husband not having recd the $70. I plan notice some of the Service is as a Corporal. I only wish justice done, & if she has already recd her just due quite sure I am, I want no more for her but I apprehend there is more due to her than I have recd.

To J. L. Edwards Esq Com. of Pensions
Sir
Enclosed are two affidavits by the person of which you will see that the pension Certificate of Eunice Stockwell has been lost. What has become of it no one can tell. Annin Gned- Ray has drawn her money since she has been a pensioner and must have had her certificate After abandoning the search here I write to a pensioner by the name of Wade who did the bus- iness for her when her pension was increased I thought he might possibly give some infor- mation on the subject. He states that after the increase the papers were sent to her and he presumes Mr. Gnedly has them. Mr. Gnedly is dead and nothing can be found of the law- and probably never will be. I hope and trust you will forward one direct to her on me as your custom is in such cases as soon as may be as considerable delay has already taken place since she was entitled to her money owing to Mr. Wade's not answering my letter as soon as I expected. Please remit your letter to Clinton P. Office as we shall get our letters here more readily than direct to Newkirk
Yours Respectfully

I Stephen Burns of Windsor in this county of Berkshire aged seventy eight years being duly sworn, deposed and says, that he is well acquainted with Solomon Stockwell of the town Pittsfield county of Oneida and State of New York - and was so acquainted with him in the Revolutionary War That this deponent served with said Solomon Stockwell in Capt. Stephen Daggett's company in the year 1775, in Col. Learned's Regiment - That the time of our service was according to this deponent's best recollection about eight months. That said Solomon Stockwell enlisted at Sutton Worcester county Mass. and that there was no other man by that name, who served in that company.
That he also knows of the said Solomon Stockwell's service in the army of the United States in the years 1776 1777 and these services were as follows to the best of this deponent's recollection and belief.
In the year 1776 said Stockwell was in the army at Paterick and several times in the State of Massachusetts from six to eight months but am unable to say under what officers he served In 1777 I was in Capt. Woodbury's Company with said Stockwell in the vicinity of Lake George we enlisted for four months if I recollect I was wounded and left the army but have no doubt but said Stockwell served for the term for which he enlisted In 1778 I was knowing to said Stockwell enlistment and marching to Rhode Island but how long he served and under what officers I am unable to state I was bro't up and lived a neighbor to said Stockwell in Sutton in the State of Massachusetts until 1781 and have

no doubt but said Stockwell and have no doubt  that Stockwell served in the Revolutionary war two and a half or three years at least

Dear Sir,
I have the honor to enclose you the papers of Solomon Stockwell. The affidavit of Stephen Adams identifies Stockwell as the soldier who served - and Mr. Stockwell's explanation as to the death of Capt. Daggett shows why his service was stated in Mr. Dungs certificate as 3 mo. & 8 days service. That being the time that he did some previous to Capt. Daggett's death - or about that time. I trust the afft. of Adams & the enclosed statement will be entirely satisfactory. Mr. Stockwell desires his pension to be made payable at - Atlanta.

Coary Esq r of Kirkland was so to undertake to get it for me I consented & paid him his fees he made many mistakes in making out my declaration I told him of it & he took great offense & that not been thoroughly  fully in the business the first return of the War Department was that I was not then in the the second was that Stephen Harnes affidavit was not right then  then  the Coary sent a letter to D r Harnes & that was not right the next return was that the Sec'y of Massachussetts must give his Certificate of my services for Coary wrote to the Sec'y Mr Bangs & had a return that he was could not attend upon it himself but but there were two men appointed to do the business but they must have been the two men are Henry White & Eleazar Homer if I mistake not these A. C. Coary who left me & done no more for me - Col. Johnson of Hame has undertaken to assist me as it is in his hands now it seems there is some doubt of my services but I served 4 years it does not vary not 3 months from the truth I could safely take an oath to my tribunal Mr Bangs writes the records to me & to Coary the records are very imperfect I find it so Col. Johnson has got Stephen Harnes Affidavit now I will tell when & where D r Harnes served in the Army with me the first was at Roxbury 1775 8 months in Col. Leonard Reg t Some stayed  longer but I did not. Homer might Sect y says only 6 months it must be more incorrect the next was in the winter 76 2 or 3 months under Capt. Jonathan C. Coary Col.

Jonathan Warner Brigade there was a detachment called for out of Warner Brigade to go upon an Expedition D r Harnes went to Lake George we was divided into two Parties I went to Lake while Hall so called now under Capt. Mason Harnes under Col. Brown & there was wounded

I then returned to Schuylkill to my Capt & Company and Regt and joined Gen. Gates Army & stayed there until Gen. Burgoyne capitulated then went to Albany from there to White Plains or there about not far from Kings bridge not many miles Gen. Putnam Putnam commanded there stayed until our time was out & discharged the Scty says Mr Bangs I was in Col Bushings Regt I dont cant account for that unless Col Drury left the Army my next enlistment was in 78 some time in June under Capt Hammond Col.

Paterson was Col. in 75 I well know them both Col Brainerd was Adjutant the first 8 months in Larnad Regt Col Sprague was Major in the 2 Months I believe I knew them all in the year so the Scty says that I was six Months but in year so I appeared that I was on guard I was about the time that Capt Reding left the Army Prikya guard for three or four days then joined the Regt again now Sir Mr Edwards if Aaron Gurnell Paul Tadd & Tarr as Tadd and two Hazleton was in Capt Reding's company I am the very identical Solomon Stockwell that makes application the year in the same company & Regt with me now Sir I think I have made out what the law requires A.

Sol. Stockwell

State of New York Onondaga County
On the 17th day of July 1834 before me personally appeared Solomon Stockwell of Kirkland in Saratoga County who being first duly sworn, doth on his oath declare that he is the identical person named in the Certificate of Mr. Paine Secretary of Massachusetts sent to the War Department and that he served in the Revolutionary Army as follows viz
That about the 10th of May 1775 this deponent enlisted at Sutton , Worcester Co. Mass. for the term of Eight months under Capt. Arthur Daggett in Col. Warner's Regiment - marched immediately to Roxbury and was stationed there the whole term of Eight months according to the deponent's belief in which he has no doubt - Sometime in the month of August Capt. Daggett died - and this will account for the fact that the certificate of Mr. Paine's only includes three months  Eight days under Capt. Daggett - After his death, the Company was commanded by Lieut. Jonathan Gannett - and Ensign John Gannett also belonged to the Company. Stephen Humes whose affidavit is here to be annexed belonged to same company and his verification agrees with mine that service was Eight months .
In the winter of 1776 enlisted in month of January or February under Capt. Gannett at Sutton and served in the winter of 1776

Private 2 months 1775
and marches to Dorchester Heights and served there for the term of two months  certainly and I cannot positively state whether it was longer tho' my impression is strong that it was three months .
1776 1818 1 1/2 months a year Private
In May or June 1776 enlisted under Capt Bullings in Col Dyke Regiment and were stationed again at Dorchester Hill and served there certainly and I believe for five months . Though I have a strong impression it was six months - and such is the opinion of Stephen Hume as will be seen by his affidavit annexed.
1776 2 months Private
In the fall of 1776 and after the termination of the above service I was out in service under Col John Putnam and served with him the full term of two months - commencing in Nov I believe according to my diary, thereafter but it may not have commenced until Dec.
1777 3 months a year Sergeant
In Jan or Feb 1777 Enlisted the Service as a Sergeant under Capt Burbank and in Col Brewster's and marches to Rhode Island - and the Company to which I belonged was stationed opposite New York Island and remained there during the winter and the whole service was three months certainly and I believe some more.
1777 3 months a year Private
In April 1777 Enlisted the Service under Captain Bartholomew Woodbury Col Lee's Drover's Regt Genl Mainer's Brigade and marched to the State of New York and was present at the taking of Kingston and served the full term of three months and then

Some over — Hume , whose affair in America was with me the first of this Service.
1778 1 more Company
In June 1778 again enlisted for Six Months , as a Corporal under Capt Hammond and Col Fish and served at Greenwich . Rhode Island until August — then moved to Piverton crossed the ferry to New York — and afterwards returned to Greenwich January to Warwick where I remained until discharged — having served 387 Months .
