In the case of Abigail Storer applicant for the 5 per. pension, the name of Isaac Storer is not on the Roll of the 8 Mo. service in Capt Sawyer company at Cambridg.
From the last letter received from the Department, I am informed that no pension would be allowed for that service unless his name was then on the Roll. Tho' it was said that it never was the case that the substitute answered to the call of the name of the person enlisting in Revolutionary times, no one here who is acquainted with Gullfatrich, would doubt a fact which he states, to have been within his own knowledge. Storer also was a beacon of the Church, during a long life, and his perfect integrity beyond all question — I suppose his claim at the time was established by two witnesses — While he was alive, I could have proved his service also by at least ten witnesses. But, with him, they are gone — It would seem to be a hard case now, that a doubt should be cast upon his probity, by a decision, that he did not perform the service to which he made oath, and for

which he received the pension — However, if the Department considers that such a "ruling" is ne- cessary I cheerfully submit, being assured that though it may do injustice to the applicant, as I can well say, & it will, it is made from no other motive, than a de- sire, faithfully to discharge the duties in- cident to the office of Commissioner of Pensions.
I suppose it will appear by last Jan- uary Rolls, that the 76 service was 13 1/2 Mo. Very respectfully —
