That the month of June, he with the company was ordered to Cambridge, Massachusetts, and that they encamped there when the battle of Bunker Hill was fought - that he soon after arrived in Cambridge and the said company was attached to the Regiment commanded by Col. Putnam - that he served all of the campaign in said company and Regiment and was regularly discharged on the last day of December at Cambridge - when he served, and from thence returned home: He doth further declare that in the month of November, seventeen hundred and seventy six he again entered the Revolutionary war and served therein three months when, in a company of militia of the Massachusetts line, commanded by Col. Nathaniel Haskell of said New Gloucester - that he volunteered into said company as a substitute for Peter Merrill of said New Gloucester , deceased, who was drafted for said three months service - that said company was ordered to a place called Terrytown in the State of New York - that on the third day of December, 1776, with said company started from said New Gloucester for said Terrytown - that they proceeded by the way of Boston, Massachusetts, when he & the company remained several days - that he arrived at said Terrytown in about a fortnight after he left New Gloucester , when he with the company was attached to the Regiment commanded by Col.

That in the first part of his service he was near Kings Bridge but that shortly after, he was at Fort Clinton when he was several weeks at Red Bank - that he was the longest at Fort Montgomery of any one place during the campaign - that he served all this three months and was regularly discharged but had no written discharge - that he was born in Gloucester, Cumberland, Massachusetts in the year seventeen hundred & fifty three, - that he has a record of his age at his house and thinks there is a record of his age at said Gloucester , - that he removed from said Gloucester , when he was about thirteen years old, to New Gloucester aforesaid, when he lived when he entered the service at both of the times afore said, and when his home has been ever since he removed here from said Gloucester , - that he entered said Gloucester militia company as a volunteer & private, and the said Nathaniel Haskell 's company as a substitute as above declared - that Gen.

Johnson make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the acts of Congress passed July 7 th 1838 March 3 d 1843 & June 17. 1844.
And this declarant states that his father was a soldier of the revolution and he be- lieves that his father served in Capt. Moore Merrill's Company in the Regt of Col. Phil- -ney in 1775 8 months and was stationed during said time in Cambridge.
In the year 1776 he believes that he served in Falmouth in Capt. Hooper's Company about 10 months and in the year 1777 that he was in Capt. Haskell's Company three months and was at Peshkill dur- ing that Campaign. and that in the whole he served nearly twenty one months

He further states that his father was a pensioner of the U. S. under the act of 1832 and received under said act the sum of $36 66 per annum.

And he further states that his mother Sarah Ingersoll received the benefit of the acts before named but did not receive so much pension as was allowed to his father.

Portland April 22 d 1846
Sir
Your official letter of the 18 th inst announcing the rejection of the claim made by the children of the late Nath l Ingersoll was duly received. In In letter I have handed to N. L. Ingersoll Esq the declarant who has instructed me to reply.
The pension as granted to the widow of Nathaniel Ingersoll did not conform to the amount of service as claimed and established by the husband, nor did it conform to any one or two terms of service as established by the records in Massachusetts, as will appear by the Certificate filed by the son in his late application for an increase of pension. Hence the application of the son for a Certificate of his father's service in the war of the Revolution, and also for an increase of pension after he had obtained that Certificate.
A careful consideration of this case will show that you have made a mistake in the computation of the widow's pension, for you will find upon an examination that you did allow the widow for nine months service of her husband, and to make that nine months, you must have allowed only a part of the 8 months service in 1775 under Capt Merrill & the 3 months service in 1777 under Capt Haskell;

or the term for which the pension was computed, must have been taken wholly from the service in 1876. If computed either way, there was an error in the amount allowed.
The ground advanced and substantiated in this case by the declarant is, that the pension granted to Nathl Ingersoll under the Act of 1832, was properly allowed for 8 months service in 1875 & for 3 months service in 1877; that being the amount of service inserted in the original declaration; and that there was an omission by the declarant in the original declaration to claim the service in 1876. Mr Ingersoll who claims this increase states the fact, that his father claimed to have served a longer time than he received pay for, and it is believed that the father is fully sustained in that allegation by the proof from the rolls.
Mr Ingersoll who makes this application is a gentleman highly respectable in character & would not prefer or urge a claim without a full belief in its equity and justice, & as to his standing in the community he would refer to the Hon Geo Evans U.S. Senator with whom he is personally acquainted. If a claim of this character is not entitled to any consideration at your Department still it will continue to be respectfully urged until it shall have received a careful and dispassionate examination.
I am Very Respectfully Your obed Servt

Pension Office December 3. 1850.
Sir.
I have the honor to transmit the papers (numbering from 1 to 10) in the case of Nathaniel H. Ingersoll, on which Dickens and Coombs appeal, accompanied with a brief of the evidence.
This is the case of an application of the son for an increased allowance to his father, — Nathaniel Ingersoll deceased, and to his mother, Sarah Ingersoll deceased. The father was allowed a pension for his services as claimed by him in his declaration, viz; $36. 66. It was found that said Nathaniel Ingersoll deceased, was improperly allowed for service under Captain Haskell, which being contradicted by the Rolls was disallowed to Sarah Ingersoll in the adjustment of her claim.
Nathaniel H. Ingersoll, in behalf of himself and the other children of Nathaniel and Sarah Ingersoll, applies for an

increased pension to his father and mother. After the real objects of the laws have received the whole amount claimed by them and have departed this life, a claim set up for a new term of continuous service equal in duration to all the service originally claim- ed by them, has been deemed inadmissi- ble by my predecessor.
