In the year 1777, at Southborough, Mass. engaged and served the two months of May and June under Capt.

In July of the same year turned out and went to Bennington as a volunteer without any enlistment, was in the battle of Bennington August 16. 1777, and was one full month in service at that time to the best of his recollections. In 1778 in the month of April engaged and served 3 months at Roxbury, Mass. under Capt. Newton, and Col. Stearns (as I believe) — served there several periods in the Massachusetts militia or volunteers, as as amounting to six months in the whole — afterwards engaged for eight months to guard the British prisoners at Rutland, Mass. but actually served only about two weeks and then hired a substitute to serve out the remainder of this term — Never had any written Discharges — and knows of no person whose testimony can at this time be procured to testify to his services — except Stephen Johnson whose affidavit he herewith transmits to the War Department.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State.
To the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, he answers, upon his said oath, as follows:
 1. Was born at Southborough, Mass, in the year 1761.  2. Has a private record in his father's family bible, which states that he was born July the 17th 1761.  3. Lived at Southborough, Mass, when he entered the service, in every instance — Removed to Vernon, then Hinsdale in 1783, and have lived there since, with these exceptions, that I have lived about one year and a half in Barnardston, Mass. and about eight or nine years in that part of the old town of Greenfield, Mass. which is now called Gill —  4. Enlisted voluntarily, in every instance of service —  5. Does not recollect the names of any regular officers serving at the same times and places with himself, except the name of Gen.

Dear Sir
Dinah Johnson of the Town of Newkirk in the County of Oswego and State of New York has a pension certificate dated October the 14 th 1842 4 certifying that she is entitled to a pension of one year under the act of March 3. 1843 and of four years under the act of June 17. 1844 at the rate of $21.67 per annum commencing on the 4 th of March 1843. You very kindly sent me a copy of the act of 3. March 1843 but the other was not then published. You however wrote me that Congress had not then made appropriations for paying the pensions under the act of June 17. 1844. As the pension was so small the widow thought she would not be at the expense of applying for payment of her pension until one installment under the act of June 17. 1844 should become due & therefore has not drawn any thing under her certificate. Will you have the goodness to send me a copy of the act of June 17. 1844 with any instructions which may be necessary and also inform me whether Congress has made any appropriation for paying the pension under said last mentioned act and in so doing very much oblige Your
