He was allowed pension on his application executed July 24, 1832, while a resident of Readfield, Maine.
There are no further family data on file.
The above noted Andrew Mace is the only soldier by that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
Respectfully,
✓ WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.

Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
I Andrew Mace, aged fifty five years, born at Hampton Falls in New Hampshire, a citizen of the United States, now resident in Readfield in the District of Maine, upon oath testify and declare that in June 1776 I enlisted into the continental service of the U. States against the common enemy for the term of six months into the company commanded by Capt Quimby, and regiment commanded by Col. Wingate of the New Hampshire Troops. This period I fully served out and took my discharge at Mount Independence in December 1776, but took no formal written discharge. On the first of July 1777 I again enlisted as a private soldier for three months into the company commanded by Capt Ways and regiment commanded by Col. Drake of the New Hampshire Troops. This period I fully served out and two months over and was in the battle at Bennington under Genl Stark, and in both the general battles at the taking of Burgoyne. I was from this campaign discharged at Newburgh New York in December 1777 but took no formal written discharge. In July 1780 I again enlisted into the service as a private soldier against the common enemy for eight months, into the company commanded by Capt Eastman, and regiment commanded by Col Remick of the New Hampshire line. Under this enlistment I did garrison duty at West Point during my whole eight months, and was there March 1781 discharged at West Point, but took no formal written discharge. In July 1781 I again enlisted as a sergeant soldier for three months in the service, in the company commanded by Capt Webster and regiment commanded by Col. Remick of the New Hampshire line. This last period I fully served out and took my final and honorable discharge from the army at Charlestown New Hampshire as a sergeant in October 1781. I took no formal written discharge. I am indigent, have eight in family, have one son of 22 years old a cripple, who never did and never can do a days work, have lost both my hands which were shot away and the stumps amputated, and am in need of the bounty of the government. And I do hereby relinquish all my claim to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the U. States. I request that I may be put upon the pension list for the District of Maine.

Chief Justice of Court Common Pleas, Second Eastern Circuit.

Augusta, Me. Augt. 13 th 1834.
Sir,
Your letter of the 6 th inst. for Andrew Mace, directed to my care, & requesting him to return his pension certificate for correction, was duly received. In compliance with that request, I now transmit Mr. Mace's certificate.
This case was admitted on the 12 th of March 1833, & in your letter to me of that date, you state, that the claim of Andrew Mace has been admitted for twelve months, sixteen days as private, and three months as sergeant. Instead of serving five months in 1777, it appears by the rolls of Col. Drake's regiment that he served but 3 months 8 days - and instead of 8 months in 1780, it appears by the rolls of Capt. Eastman's company, that he served only a like period of 3 m 8 days. &c. That his pension was not computed according to the foregoing statement, I never noticed until the receipt of your letter of the 6 th inst. Mr. Mace has

has frequently complained that he was not allowed for all his service. Always insisting that he served five months in Col. Drake's regiment, & 8 months in 1780. as a Sergeant, in Capt. Eastman's company. And not long since left his certificate with me to be transmitted to you, for a re-examination of his case. I would therefore request that the rolls of the last above mentioned services, may be examined further, particularly that of Capt. Eastman's Coy. touching the capacity in which Mr. Mace served.
I am, Sir,
very respectfully,

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Andrew Mace which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so? IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? V. * Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service; and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled? grades not all stated VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? no - The Judge has IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal?

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? no
XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it? none
XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had? no
XIV. † If the applicant has produced a witness or witnesses as to his service, has the magistrate who administered the oath certified that he, she, or they are persons of credibility? none produced
Has the official character and signature of the magistrate been certified by the proper officer under his seal of office?
XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service?
XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct?
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered?
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
“Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades: For _____ year _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____. For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension.”

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which the applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable.
QUERE XIV.  Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
QUERE XVI.  Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticated the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the end of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
