Respectfully represents, Thomas Putney of Henniker in the county of Merrimack and State of New Hamp- shire, that on the first of April A.D. 1776, he enlisted under Lieut. Fifield in Capt. Timothy Clement's company and Col. Nicholas Gilman's Regt. in the New Hampshire line of continental troops in the Army of the Revolution, for the term of nine months, and served the same out until hon- orably discharged, having served said term on Great Island near Portsmouth N.H. and at Mount Independence. While at Mount Independence he served in Capt. Stillson's Company and Col. Wymans Regiment. He further states that by his industry and economy, he has, until within a few years been able to sustain himself with a comfortable support; but by reason of old age and other infirmities, he has now become poor and unable to get a living by his own means. — He therefore prays that Congress would consider his hard case and grant him some of that relief, which it has so liberally dealt out and continues to afford to others in like circumstances. — He prays that he may be placed on the pension list roll, and in duty bound will pray — Thomas Putney November 6. 1827 —

Commissioners of Pensions Washington, D.C.
Dear sir,
Will you kindly furnish me with the military record of Thomas Putney, who served in the Revolution from New Hampshire, service being credited to the town of Henniker? His name appears on the pension rolls of Merrimack Co. as placed there May 28. 1820. The note is added "died March 4. 1830." I especially wish all family data filed with his application as I lack the date and place of his birth.
May I also ask whether your lists of soldiers from N.H. contain the name of "Paskey" Pressey (as spelled) as pensioned? He served from Warner as a sergt. Have proof from the Rev. Rolls of N.H. or have you the name at all? The family came into New York state later - and he possibly died in this state. The name is spelled also Paskey - probably corruption of the name Paschal. He was born in 1742 - married 1762

February 7th, 24
Commissioner of Pensions Washington, D.C.- Dear Sir-
Will you kindly send me the military record of Thomas Putney, who was a pensioner of Merrimack Co., New Hamp., in 1828, and who died, according to note after his name in the published list, on March 4, 1830?

I am especially  anxious to obtain all the family data filed with his application, - and shall appreciate very  much any information which you can give me -
