New Hampshire is hereby requested to furnish a certificate of proof from the Revolutionary Records in his office of the Revolutionary service of our father John Phillips. That he resided Kingston in the County of Rockingham and State of New Hampshire. That he first served nine months as substitute for his cousin Daniel Colcord, that after said nine months service he served another term of nine months, and again a short term at the taking of Burgoyne in the fall of 1777, that he afterwards in Wilt in the County of Cheshire and State of New Hampshire and went there to reside soon after the commencement of the war and without doubt served, so far from said Wilt, that they are not able to give the names of the officers that their father served under, but think it probable that he served some under his Uncle who was a Captain in said service by the name of John, that their father related of being when in service at the Hill, White Hill & Bunker Hill, which was the first service as it seems as he did believe the most at Fort Edward, Fort Ann, & Fishkill and of going at the taking of Burgoyne and of seeing General Gates and Burgoyne walking together the next day after the Battle, they request that they may receive a certificate for all the service which may be credited to their father the said Thomas Phillips who was generally called Phillips & others.

Madam;
I have to advise you that in the pension claim, R. 5417, it is alleged that Thomas P. or Philbrick Huntoon, while residing in Kingston, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, served during the Revolutionary War about seventeen months, at one time probably under Captain Ladd and was out in service just after the surrender of Burgoyne.
It also appears in said claim that soldier married at Charleston, Cheshire County, New Hampshire, August 9, 1777, Elizabeth Huntoon. He died in Concord, Lake County, Ohio, January 2, 1831, aged seventy eight years and she died in Concord, Lake County, Ohio, October 3, 1847, aged eighty eight years, leaving the following children- Scribner Huntoon; Corbin Huntoon;

Betsey, wife of Jonathan Whipple; Mahala, wife of John Prentiss; all living in Lake County, Ohio.
They applied for pension, June 25, 1853, that might have been due on account of the services of their father, but the claim was not allowed, owing to lack of satisfactory proof of service.

Sir,
I have examined the affidavits of the children of Elizabeth Hunter, do who was the widow of Thomas Phillbrick Hunter, in the event of the death of July 4, 1836. The proof of marriage on the 9 th of August 1817, is satisfactory. But there is not the slightest oral testimony among the papers which would identify the husband of the said Eliza- beth with either Thomas P. Hunter, Phillbrick Hunter on a Thomas Phillbrick Hunter who, according to the census of the Society of the State of New Hampshire, resided some in the town of Rindlesboro. Indeed the fact that the ancestors of some in the description an, of course, predicted upon that certificate, has created great distrust.

of the validity of the claim, and it will not be admitted unless Elizabeth Hunter's late husband is identified as the soldier credited with service in the next reassuring manner. Among other proofs to that effect, it should be shown that all the credits to the party who is claimed to have been Elizabeth's husband were given to a soldier from Virginia, and that there was but one man of her husband's name residing in New York during the war  Rebellion , who was liable to be called out to perform military duty.
