In the last war he went out in a privateer, was taken by the English, was a Prisoner in Dartmoor Prison for more than a year and returned home after an absence of more than two years. While he was absent the house in which she lived was consumed by fire and with it her family Bible in which was a record of her marriage and the births of her children. They had twelve children their first child was born in 1794 but that child and their four next children were either born dead or died as soon as born and neither of the five was either dressed alive, or named. Her husband, the said Samuel Marble, was a Pensioner of the United States on account of his services in the Revolutionary War under the Act of 1818, and continued a Pensioner to his death. He lived for many of the last years of his life in Harmony in the State of Maine, on the fourth tenth or eleventh of September 1844, he died in said Harmony at the age of 83 or thereabouts.

I Josiah B Wiggins of Shatham new Hamp- shire aged thirty three years and upwards do hereby and say that I am the Town Clerk of said Shatham to which office I was first elected in March 1843 and have held the office ever since that time. As Clerk I have the custody of the Town records and I have carefully examined the books of records and do not find recorded therein the mar- riage of Samuel Marble and Meheta- bel Wiggins at any period. In one of the books I find recorded the births of Samuel Marble's children, or of some of them, who were born between January 1802 and September 1808 - The names of the children are Mary-Moore, Joshua-Wake, Joseph-Hilton, and Samuel Marble. - I further certify that there is no record of the marriage solemnized by Rev James Millmore who was the Minister of this town from 1786 about twenty years - until the year 1794 The first record of his marriages in the town books is headed in these words
"Marriages solemnized before the Rev James Millmore in the year 1794 &c" and it does not appear that prior to 1794 the marriages in town were recorded by the

Town Clerk although there are several instances in which the marriage of the parents is given as the introduction to the records of the births of their children.

Her father and mine were next door neighbors. I was also acquainted with Samuel Marble, her husband, and both before and after their marriage, and I was present at their marriage which took place at her father's. They were married by Rev James Miltimore who was then the Congregational Minister of this town. There were not many present at the wedding excepting her family and I do not know that any other person who attended the wedding, save Mrs Marble and myself, are now living. They lived in this town several years after they were married and had a number of children. They removed from this town to Portsmouth, and after the last War Mr Marble went down to the State of Maine and as I am informed died in Hampshire in that State last Fall I be- lieve in September. Mrs Marble has never married since the death

of her husband and still remains his widow. I am not able to state in what year they were mar- ried the said Samuel Marble and Nicholas Wiggins (for Mrs. Marble was originally Nicholas Wiggins) were married.

Marble went from this town into the Revolutionary Army when he was very young. He was large at his age - and he served sometimes in the Army and was also sometimes in the Navy at privateering but I can not state the period of his services. He several years ago moved down into the State of Maine and died there last Fall, as I am informed.

Enclosed are papers on which it is asked that a duplicate may issue of warrant for 160 acres, which issued under the act of 1855, to Mehitable Marble, widow of Samuel Marble, for Revolutionary Service . The heirs are not able to furnish you with the No. of the warrant, - but as it was for Revolutionary Service, and as it issued before July 10. 1856, there will not be much difficulty in finding the case in your office. I desire, that after the examination the enclosed copy of the warrantee's will may be returned to me, to accompany the duplicate warrant when sold. I presume that as the warrant was lost in the "Central American", newspaper notice will not be required, though one had been begun.

Sir I take the liberty to enclose to you the papers respecting Samuel Marble of Stratham his application for a pension for Revolutionary Services. You will see by his affidavit and my Certificate that the Application was made in April which Application was sent to the War Department and returned to the Probate Office in Exeter and on the Back wrote inadmissible, No reason being assigned why it is inadmissible, is very unsatisfactory to the Applicant. I now enclose the affidavit of Stephen Farren respecting Marble being in the Army, and a Certificate likewise of his needy Circumstances, and will esteem it a favour if you will call on the Pension department in the War Office and ascertain the difficulty respecting the inadmissibility of the claim, and what further proof is necessary, he says he can procure other proof, if he can find what the difficulty is so as to meet it properly - please to write me as soon as ascertained and direct to be left at Portsmouth Post Office ~ ~ ~

Sir,
In reply to your letter of the 30 th ult o , informing me that before a duplicate can issue of the warrant of Meritable Warble, N o . 15782, for 160 acres, act of March, 1855, a caveat must be duly filed in the General Land Office, I would inform you that I have this day mailed to the Com te . of the General Land Office the proper caveat - so that nothing now remains to be done before the issue of the duplicate.
Respy. Your Ob dt . Subt.
Horatio Woodman.
To the Com te . of Pensions, Washington City.

Boston, Sept. 19, 1859.
Sir,
Enclosed is newspaper proof in case of the application for a duplicate of warrant N o 15782, 160 acres, which issued to Mehitable, widow of Samuel Marble, under the act of 1855. I also enclose the affidavit of the person to whom the warrant was sent. Other papers were sent to your office in my letter of June 23 d 1859, and their receipt acknowledged by you. Proof is on file that the warrant was put into the Sonora's mails, which were taken at the Isthmus by the "Central America" which was lost. The proof is, therefore, complete, - because it is a matter known at the General Post Office that the Central America took the Sonora's mails in regular course, and, it is impossible for the applicant to obtain proof from Panama. In other words, it is the same case as that of a letter mailed at Washington for St. Louis. The only proof is that it was mailed at Washington and failed to reach the person to whom it was addressed at St. Louis. Proof of its passing at intervening places cannot be required.
To the Com r of Pensions.
Your Obed. Serv.

I Hereby Certify, That from an examination of the Books and Documents relating to Military Services in the War of the Revolution, which remain in this Department, it appears that the name of Samuel Marble is found in the following receipt, viz. Nov. 18. 1776 "Received of Benjamin Heywood Pay Master to the 4 th Regt. Two Pounds, in full of our wages for the month of September, as soldiers, in Capt. McFarlands Company. Samuel Marble" and also.
There are several receipts for the service of the said Marble, but no rolls of service, as we have no roll of Continental service in this office for the year 1776.
In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto affixed the Seal of the Commonwealth, the date above written.

January 17 th
1856.
Sir :
The claim of Meehitabel Mearble for bounty land under the act of the 3d March, 1855, No. 118.131 has been examined and suspended.
The revolutionary service of Samuel Mearble the husband of the applicant, does not appear of record in this office.
The 3d section of said act requires a service of "FOURTEEN DAYS" to be established by "RECORD EVIDENCE."
Upon the production of such evidence of service, the claim will be favorably considered.
IT SHOULD BE OBSERVED, that the recorded action of this office, admitting a revolutionary soldier to the list of pensioners upon parole proof, is not considered "record evidence" of service within the meaning of the act aforesaid. In all applications for bounty land under this act, the papers of the soldiers, or their widows, who have applied for or received pensions, as well as the rolls in this office, are carefully examined for record evidence of service, before this circular is issued.
Respectfully,
J. MINOT, Commissioner.

Dear Cousin: I recd Yours of Nov 12th by your course of Mail. — The business which I have done for you has been somewhat delayed in consequence of the absence of Mr. Roberts — I am glad to learn that you have a prospect of obtaining a Pension for your Mother, I really hope you will succeed — I have but just recovered from the most distressing sickness that I ever suffered. — I was confined to my bed 21 days, and from extreme suffering, was reduced to a mere skeleton — I have not yet recovered my strength, but my general health is very good — My family are in good health, we have been blessed with health and prosperity the past year, with the exception of the sickness above alluded to — Father & Mother are well — Uncle George has been quite sick for several months, & is still feeling I think he can continue but a few weeks. — His disease is consumption & asthma — He suffers a great deal of pain & distress. — My Brother Harrison's wife was confined while I was sick, lost her child, has since had the Lung Fever & has been brought very low — She is now slowly recovering — The rest of the connection are in good health. — I am disappointed in not having visited you the past season, & made some arrangement for going into business in the City, providing I thought it advisable: But my business has been such, that I have seemingly had no opportunity that I could consistently leave — It is so late in the season now that I have abandoned the idea of coming up until an other Springs By that time, I hope I shall have made sale of my property in this town — Doct Knowles has ascended, & I am consequently the only Physician here — This being the case, I think my prospect of selling litter as this is a good stand for one Physician. — Business here is about as usual but very little change & but very little done — The Polar Bear in this State, has been a total failure — This is a great

lop to us, as it is an important crop in this State - our crop of wheat is light & also our corn - our crop of hay is tolerably good - I wish you learn what Bed Posts are worth by large lots - I should like to furnish a large lot of Birch & Maple Posts on contract providing I could get a price that would warrant the business - I wish you would inquire at the firm of Hildreth & Co. Commission Merchants - I am acquainted with a gentleman of that firm by the name of Pease - I think he would attend to this business if you would call on him - I should be glad to get an answer in relation to this business by the return of Mr Bartlett the bearer of this.
Dec 5/48 When I commenced writing I expected Mr Roberts would be at Home the next day & that I could get the Affidavit signed & certified, but to my surprise I learned that he was not to return until the first of January. He is in the lumbering business at the Lake. - It would be attended with five or ten Dollars expense to obtain his Affidavit there. The affidavits of Mrs Roberts & Alpheas could be had to the point if they would answer as good a purpose - I have barely time to say this as Mr B. is waiting - Let me know your wishes & I will attend to the same.
Yours Respectfully John Marble Jr.
