Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Captain Peter Pitts of Dighton, Massachusetts, served in Massachusetts militia in 1775, and Job Macomber of Taunton, Massachusetts who served in 1776 at Camp Hill.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land, which have been made to the United States, based upon service in that war. A search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the Revolutionary War service of Peter Pitts.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in pension claim, S. 40961, based upon the service of Job Macomber in the Revolutionary War. This is the record of the only Job Macomber on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
The date and place of birth of Job Macomber are not given. It is stated that his father's name was Job Macomber, name of his mother not shown.
Job Macomber enlisted in Taunton or Boston, Massachusetts, sometime in May, 1777 served as a private in Captain Knapp's company, Colonel Shepard's Massachusetts regiment, was at Saratoga, but was taken sick before the surrender of Burgoyne, and sent to Boston with the "Invalids", did duty on Castle Island, and was
I did not say anything about the suspension of this claim - The discharge is in the claim the A.B. says nothing about being stricken off - Just a side note - if he did not get pension he should have -

discharged, April 14, 1780, from the Corps of Invalids.
The soldier, Job Macomber, was allowed pension on his application executed, September 3, 1824, then a resident of Montpelier, Vermont, and was sixty-five years of age.
He referred in 1824 to his family as follows—wife, Phebe, forty-four years of age; daughter, Polly, eighteen years of age; son, Samuel Smith, eight years old.
In 1842 the soldier was still living in Montpelier; he then referred to his brother who had moved some distance away and had not been heard from for many years, name of brother not given.

Mr. Job Macomber Montpelier, Vermont Sir:
The affidavit of Job Staples which you sent to this Department in your letter of the 25th ultimo has been examined and is found insufficient to remove the suspension of your case. Proof more satisfactory than this must be produced, before you can expect a favorable decision. The testimony of two credible witnesses as your being the identical person who served in Knap's company and Shepherd's regiment, is indispensable.

DANROD BUCK

I Job Staples of Taunton, in Massachusetts, depose and say that Job Macomber enlisted for three years in Capt Knapp's company in col. Shepherd's regiment in the Massachusetts line, in May or June, 1777 - that he belonged to the army that took Burgoyne, but was taken sick before the surrender - was sent to Boston with the invalids - afterwards did duty on Castle Island under a Capt Farland as I think - remained in service eleven or twelve months - and then procured another person to serve out his term - I have seen him often since the war - The last time I saw him was at Taunton about a year ago, at which time he lived, as I understood at Montpelier Vermont - Three or four years ago I saw him myself at Montpelier. About the last of March last, he came to Taunton, as I understood, to procure my deposition, in relation to his service, & also in relation to his being the same person who enlisted and served as above stated. I have no doubt that the Job Macomber, who served in Knapp's company and Shepherd's regiment as above stated, is the same Job Macomber, who three or four years ago resided at Montpelier, whom I saw in Taunton about a year ago, and who as I understand has been on the pension list, and whose pension, as I understand, has been suspended on the charge that he is not the same person who enlisted and served as aforesaid.
When the said Macomber came to Taunton as I understood to procure my deposition, I was

about at sea, and he left a request that when I came into the country, as he was told I would this summer, I would bring or send my deposition in relation to his case.
I do not know positively where Maconber enlisted - It must have been in Taunton or Boston, I believe in Taunton.

Then the said Job Staples made solemn oath that the foregoing deposition contains the truth and nothing but the truth.

Job Macomber

Montpelier Vt. August 11 th 1842.
Sir,
I send you, enclosed, two affidavits in support of my claim to a pension. I have not been able to attend to any business to mention since my pension was stopped, on account of the sickness of myself and family. My youngest son was taken sick about fourteen years ago, and has been sick ever since, and the most part of the time very dangerously so, in so much that it has required more than I could do to take care of him, and my anxiety for him deprived me of any capacity for any business, not immediately connected with him. I have had three fits of sickness myself, very severe and protracted; owing to my sufferings and hardships in the Revolution, I have been afflicted, occasionally, with lameness ever since the war, and, as I advance in old age the lameness increases, so that for the last ten years I have been almost a cripple. The affection is in my knees, and it has drawn them all out of shape, so that I can with difficulty walk about, and my wife has had four or five fits of sickness during this time, besides suffering continual ill health. These sicknesses, together with a blind, deaf and crazy daughter have made my house almost a hospital, and broken us all down with disease and distress.
As soon as my family recovered sufficiently, and my own health would permit, I was desirous to ascertain

where my brother was, who was knowing to my having been out in the revolution and all about it, but who had left our former residence in Massachusetts ma- ny years ago, and I had never received any information from him since, I therefore, got a letter wrote to my former acquaintances in Massachusetts, requesting them if they knew, to inform me of the residence of my bro- ther, and they wrote to me when he lived. I then wrote a letter to him requesting him to forward me his aff- idavit, and about the time, I procured Mr. Martins, wishing to have it ready when my brother's arrived, not doubting but that it would come to hand in due time, but after waiting a great while, and not receiving any answer, I got two more written to him in pro- per succession, but never received any return. I then wrote again to my friends inquiring if they had not misinformed me, and they returned answer, that since writing to me, they had heard that my brother had left the place some years ago, and gone to parts unknown. After endeavoring to hear from him over two years, and being unsuccessful, I was advised by my counsel to procure Mr. Scott's affidavit, and forward them to you, which I have done - hoping that you will consider my situation, and the difficulties of obtaining more positive proof, poor, old and infirm as I am. Considering, also that almost all my com- panions in the revolution are dead, or live in parts unknown to me.

Mr. Dix, who was the cause of stopping my pension was a personal enemy to me, and did it through malignity, and a desire to injure me. He got up the writing and went round and got signers, not one of whom I ever knew or ever knew me until I moved into this state about thirty years ago, and a number of them have told me that they knew nothing about it only what Dix told them, who was as ignorant as they were, and did it merely out of envy and malice.
I know of a number of pensioners, who have told me, that if their pensions were stopped in such a way, they knew not of a person, whose testimony they could get to sustain their claim.
I do not know that I can procure any more testimony, at least without more exertion than I am able to perform, feeble and decrepit as I am and not able to get about.
If this testimony should prove satisfactory I suppose I should be entitled to the arrearages of my pension from the time I last drew it until now, with a continuation of the yearly payment while I live.
By returning me an immediate answer you will very much oblige
Your obedient Servant.

Dear Sir,
I return you the papers of Sol. Mac- culker with an additional declaration stating the reason of his not applying before and the situation of his property on the 18 th March 1818.
I have known him a number of years & always knew him to be a poor man, he lives about six miles from this village & is but seldom down here, has lived sometimes on the edge of Calais. I have procured the affidavit of Mr. Sabou, a man of reputation to testify to to the situation of his property, whose testimony is unquestionably literally true - Macculker is not only a poor man but a very rough ignorant man, & I presume the reason he gives for not applying before is strictly true - Under this clear and evi- dent state of his poverty, I did believe the department would receive this additional declaration to supply the defects of the former, particularly as the main fact of Service is admitted and as the Supreme Court before whom his declaration was made does not sit again

untill august next, holding but one Session a year in a County -
I wish you to urge this claim & to call personally upon the Govt. Secretary, if you can find time, as the applicant is extremely needy & has a deaf & blind daughter upon his hands, which actually call for the Charity of every friend of humanity -
I am Most Respectfully your Obt. Servt.

I knew a Mr. Moses Haskell of Calais a neighbor who drew, he being a Substitute, and my neighbors, who I supposed knew told me it was so - & I knew not to the contrary until last summer, when I shewed my papers to a gentleman who informed me that I could draw. & I applied at the first Session of any Court of record in the County after it - I state that I had on the 18 th of March 1818 no article of property of any value that I can now recollect more than I have
