I Aaron P.

At the time of our said removal to Spring- field, Thomas Marble resided in said Springfield within one mile of the place where we moved to, and I lived within mile of the said Marble up to the time of his death which took place I think in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and twenty five, I watched with the Corpse of the said Marble through the night after his death, and attended his funeral and acted as conductor on the occasion. The said Marble as I heard him say and believe was more than sixty years of age I heard him speak upon that subject some time before his death - I often heard the said Marble talk about having been out in the Revolutionary War. My father was a Lieutenant in Morgan's regiment, and my father and the said Marble frequently met and talked over the scenes in the Revolutionary War through which they had passed. The said Marble was generally known and reported to be a Revolutionary Soldier. At his decease he left a widow Jane Marble, who has ever since resided in said Springfield, and ever

since the death of the said Thomas, has been and still is a widow. I have often heard the said Thomas Markle say that he came from Cohasset, in the State of Massachusetts

Hon. L. P. Waldo.
Dear Sir -
H. H. Spafford Esq has shown me your letter to him dated Jany 24. 1854, in relation to the application of Jane Marble for a pension. It occurs from your letter that the examiner of Mrs. Marble's application supposed she claimed that her husband had performed public sea service . I drew the application for Mrs. Marble from her statements to me. I did not understand her that her husband performed any public sea service , but merely that her husband resided in Cohasset "excepting when he was absent at sea, or in the Revolutionary War" that is, sometimes he was absent at sea, and sometimes he was absent in the Revolutionary War. Mrs. Marble said that although her husband was once taken prisoner by the British at sea, he was not then in the service of his country, and was never in the public service at sea .
Respectfully Yours
Wm W. Pingree

Know all Men by these Presents, that I, Jane Marble of Springfield in the County of Windham and State of Vermont and the widow of Thomas Marble deceased who was a Revolutionary Soldier, do hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Henry H. Spafford of Weatherfield in the County of Windham and State of Vermont my true and lawful attorney, for me and in my name to examine into and prosecute any claim for a pension &c., against the general Government, which may be due me by virtue of my deceased husband's service in the Revolutionary war, and the several acts of Congress, relative thereto, and to receive the certificate of pension, &c., when issued by the Department. I hereby confirm whatsoever my said attorney may do or cause to be legally done, either in person or by substitute, in the prosecution of said claim, except drawing money in my favor. I hereby revoke any other authority I may have given to any other person or persons, in the premises whatsoever.

Dr Sir
If you will please - examine the application of Jane Marble wid- -ow of Thomas Marble, which you write has been filed under the act of July 7 th 1838. you will find that the said Marble does not claim Pen-Service, on the part of her deceased husband, for said Service, rendered by Whitney, in the Revolutionary War. I find no refer- ring to a duplicate copy kept by me, that Jane Marble states that she was acquainted with her husband from her earliest recollection except when he was absent at sea, or in the Revolutionary War. There were two di- -stinct periods. The certificate of Service does not state that he was a resident of Hull, but that the rolls were kept at Hull. Now Hull & Cohasset are little towns embracing the little peninsula of Nantasket - which are five miles apart & situated on Nantasket Bay which forms the South East side of Boston Harbor. There was a that is at least Fort in the time of the Revolution which was garrisoned by minute men; this will account for the rolls being dated at Hull. Please repara- -mised as I have stated.
