Sir
I enclose to you the renewed application of Abigail Amwood Widow of a Revolutionary Pensioner. This is the case, which I had the opportunity of a personal interview with some of the Clerks of the Department. I believe, that by a blunder in the Office, by the former Commissioner, who himself, made a mistake of ten years in the age of the widow & some other supposed admissions of a Mr Fuller, who acted for the widow, in filing her case. Some distrust was created in the Department as to the justice & honesty of this case - But I assure the Department that I believe the case to be just & honest & that the facts herein stated are still true, in all material points. I think the character of the witness is good & reputable. I am desirous that this case should be considered, before I leave Washington.

if possible - I will call at the Department, before I leave the city
I am respectfully

Sir
I recd your favor of April 12 th notifying me, that that a certificate issued on the 18 th of March, to Abigail Norwood of Eastport, Maine, Widow of Moses Norwood deceased, late a Pensioner of the U.S. & the same was delivered to J. B. Barrett, who filed in the Pension office, the evidence, as late as the 28 th of December last — of her marriage — I have written to Mr. Bradley an Atty at Law of Eastport, with whom I am personally acquainted, & who resides in the same Town with the widow, & knows her well, & her friends, & says that she or her sons do not know of any such Agent or person as Mr J. B. Barrett & that no other testimony has been taken than such as was filed by me in the Pension office as late as in February last while I was in Washington before the adjournment of Congress. So that, there must either have been made a mistake or else

Some fraud must have been perpetrated upon the office — Mr Norwood has not been advised of any certificate being granted and is entirely ignorant of what has been done by Mr Barrett
I hope the Department will institute an immediate enquiry, & write me, who Mr Barrett is, the names of the witness, & the charter of the testimony, how, Steford whom, the same was verified —
I had a long interview with one the clerks in the office super vising letters on file in the applications
I am very respectfully

Sir
Some time since I forwarded to your Department, through my father, J. C. Talbot Judge of Probate - the claim of Abigail B. Norwood of Eastport for a pension as widow of Moses Norwood late a Pensioner and lately have received yours of the 10 th inst. directed to said J. C. Talbot - The papers "apparently prepared by" me as Justice, were so actually & bona fide prepared by me, and are genuine, and although I was at the time surprised to learn that her application was so long delayed still I think it can be satisfactorily explained and shall be slow to believe that the witnesses or the Applicant herself have wilfully & intentionally testified falsely - If they have not done so I see no reason why her claim should not be allowed -
I am in favor of having this matter fully investigated and am willing to disclose or have disclosed by others my whole course in this matter - and if my own character is not a sufficient answer to any imputations of attempts to violate the act of March 23 1823. I know at least that the character of my father is above reproach

For my own satisfaction I shall fully investigate the matter & see if I, as well as you, have been deceived - and in order to aid me in this investigation will you please inform me what is the evidence which you have in your office that Miss Merwood was born in 1787 & consequently but 3 years old in 1790.

I have carefully examined all the records in my possession and can find no record of the birth and marriage of Moses Norwood, but I do find a record of the birth of several of the children of Moses Norwood and Abigail Root. By the record it appears that their first child was born on the ninth day of April A.D. 1796. The entry on the records is in the following words "Abraham Norwood born April 9th 1796, died July 1797". The town of Eastport was incorporated in 1798.

1 I Moses Norwood of Eastport do declare & say that I am the same person, who, having been placed on the Pension list as a Soldier in the Army of the Revolution, made an application on the second day of March 1824 to be restored to the Pension List under the act of the first of March 1823. - In that application I stated the disposition of my property & the charges made in it. I have now so far as it was in my power procured the testimony of the several persons to whom the proceeds of my estate were paid & the items of the several charges against me. & I do further declare that I have now the same family that I had on the second of March 1824, except that two of my sons, James Norwood & Simon Norwood have since been bound out, as servants to two of my neighbors. And I do further declare that that the difference in the amount of monies stated in my said declaration as paid by my son Moses Norwood Junr for me & that contained in his declaration & the affidavits which accompany this, was accidental, my declaration being made at Court where I had not all the vouchers with me. And I do further declare that after I received Notice that further evidence was required relative to the debts & the origin of the debts paid by the sale of my property, I collected the evidence, very similar to that which accompanied this, which I supposed to have been duly forwarded. - after having waited for the result a long time I applied, through the Hon. Jeremiah O'Brien & from the information received from him I believe that they were lost or mislaid, which is the reason so long a delay has occurred. - and I do further declare that nine dollars & fifty one cents part of the forty dollars stated to have been paid to Stephen Jones, was paid to him on account of the firm of Stephen Jones & Co. of which firm he was then a partner, the remainder was paid to him for his account against me, which was for goods I had from his store & that said Jones has removed from this place so that I am unable to obtain his evidence.

I John Kendal of Eastport do declare & say that I have lived a near neighbor to Moses Norwood of Eastport about thirty years. About four years ago he had become embarrassed with debts, & in the summer of the year 1823 conveyed his real estate to his son Moses Norwood Junr. who undertook to pay his debts. The sale to his son was I believe a fair & bona fide one & not done with any view to diminish his property or put it out of his hands, so as to be restored to the Pension list, but solely to discharge his debts & save the costs of suits. He had but very little personal property if any, which was not exempted by law from attachment. I would not have given him more than four hundred fifty dollars for his land. He is old, infirm & needs assistance to help support himself & family.

Said Norwood was poor & unable to pay me and on the ninth of November 1825 his son Moses Norwood Junr. paid me the amount due me being sixty dollars.

I Ethel Olmstead of Perry do testify & declare that I was a partner of the late firm of D. & H. Olmstead of Eastport which firm consisted of my Brother Darius Olmstead, now deceased, & myself. That said firm kept a store at Eastport for several years & also carried on the Blacksmith business. That during the years 1821, 1822 & 1823, Moses Norwood of Eastport had sundry articles from their store & Blacksmith work, which I will believe were applied exclusively to the use, support & maintenance of said Norwood & his family, that on the twenty eighth day of February 1824, the said Norwood owed the said firm Eighteen dollars, & forty nine cents for which Moses Norwood then gave us his note & which he afterwards paid. I further say that I have removed from Eastport to Perry where the books of accounts are, which is the reason I cannot state the items of said account, but the sum for which said Moses Norwood then gave his note & the time when, I now ascertain by his producing the original receipt which was given him at the time by said Firm.

18 I Moses Norwood Junr. of Eastport, do certify & declare that in the summer of the year 1823 my father, Moses Norwood of Eastport, was much involved in debt, & several suits were commenced against him. He had little or no personal property but what was exempted by law from attachment & execution, & only his real estate to pay his debts with. I then engaged to pay his debts for him & he gave me two deeds one dated June 23 1823 & the other August 25 1823 of all his real estate for the consideration of Four Hundred fifty dollars. The conveyances to me were made bona fide & for the fair value of the land & solely for the purpose of enabling me to pay his debts. I paid debts for him, in consequence of said conveyances, to a much larger amount, than the value of the land of which debts I have added hereto a schedule, amounting to Six hundred five dollars & twenty eight cents. I have seen & examined his statement of the disposition of his property made sworn to in Court March session 1824, which I believe is correct both with regard to his real and personal property, except that I paid more than is therein stated to have been paid by me for him. I live near to my father, the said Moses Norwood & know that a great part of the articles charged in the several accounts against him, were applied to the use & for the support of himself & family. He is now very poor & inferior upwards of seventy years old & unable to support himself & family without the assistance of others. I further declare that in the fall of the year 1825 I paid to Dr. Robert Mowe, sixty dollars, for his bill for medicine and medical attendance on my father & his family, which is not included in the above mentioned schedule.

State of Maine Washington ss: June 23 1827 Then personally appeared the within named Moses Norwood Jr. & made oath to the truth of the foregoing affidavit & schedule by him subscribed Before me Jonathon D. Pease

I Aaron Hayden one of the partners of the late firm of Hayden & Killy do testify & declare that the annexed account is a true copy of the account of Moses Norwood taken from the books of said Firm. The first charge in it fifty three & 44/100 dollars, the balance of account settled with him October 16 1820, was taken from a former account which was for articles generally similar to those contained in this account, they were delivered to said Moses Norwood & as I verily believe applied to the support & maintenance of himself & family - On the thirteenth of August 1822 said Norwood gave me a mortgage of his place in Eastport to secure the payment of one hundred thirty four dollars part of said account on which he paid a small part & on the month of August 1823 Moses Norwood paid me one hundred twenty eight dollars & 84/100 being the balance due on said mortgage & I then discharged the same - On or about the seventeenth of June 1823 said Moses Norwood further paid me one hundred dollars being the balance due on said account - I have been well acquainted with said Moses Norwood for about twenty eight years & believe that the encumbrances of his real estate to Moses Norwood Junr were fair & bona fide to enable him through his son to discharge his debts & not to diminish his property or to enable him to have his pension continued to him. Said Moses Norwood is upwards of seventy years old, is very poor & infirm & unable to support himself & family without the aid & assistance of others.

I Jonathan D. Weston of Eastport do declare that on or about the fifteenth of October 1821, I sold to Moses Norwood of Eastport, a bow, for eighteen or twenty dollars, I also did some unking & transacted some other business for him, for which he gave me his note, which remained unpaid till sometime in the summer of 1823, when his son Moses Norwood Junr. paid me twenty seven dollars & fifty one cents the amount of said note & interest. In the summer of 1823 said Moses Norwood was embarrassed with debts & several suits were commenced against him, he had but very little personal property & no means of paying his debts but by selling his real estate which he did do to his son Moses Norwood Junr. for the purpose of discharging them. I wrote the two deeds dated June 28 th 1823 & August 25 th 1823, to his son Moses Norwood Junr. & he paid me the note above mentioned. I assisted him in the settlement of some of the accounts & believe that the sales were fair & bona fide & the sums mentioned in the deeds, four hundred fifty dollars, about the real value of the land. I have been well acquainted with said Moses Norwood for twenty three or four years & from my knowledge of his circumstances & the facts attending the sales I do not think that he intended to diminish his property thereby, or did it with a view to being restored to the pension list, but solely to discharge his debts & save the costs, which would accrue by having his property taken on execution. He is upwards of seventy years old, is very poor & infirm & cannot support himself & family without the assistance & aid of others. I do further declare that on the seventh day of January 1824, Moses Norwood paid twenty dollars & sixty cents for his father Moses Norwood on account of the debt due to Benjamin King, the money passed through my hands.
