I went as one of the detachment under Benedict Arnold on the expedition to Quebec as far as Fort Westport on the river Kennebec, but was prevented by sickness from going further, I then returned to Winter Hill and served out my time, and then re-enlisted as a private soldier into the continental service of the United States against the common enemy into the company commanded by Capt Curtis, and regiment commanded by Col. Larned of the Massachusetts line for the term of twelve months this period I served out from Jan 7 1776 to Jan 7 1777 I then took my honorable discharge from the army at Poughkeepsie New York. My discharge I have since lost. I was at the battle at Harlem heights and in various skirmishes. I am indigent, and in need of the bounty of the government and I do hereby relinquish all my claim to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the U. States, if any; but I am not to my knowledge borne on any pension list whatever. I request to be put upon the pension list for the District of Maine.

To my knowledge the said Daniel is a very infirm man and has been for many years past, he sustains the character of a man of truth, and I have no doubt he is now poor and destitute of property — and I have no doubt, had it not have been from assistance derived from his son, the old man must have been — town charge before this. I am also acquainted with William Wyman, son of said Daniel

- who is a man of small property, not exceeding five or at most six hundred dollars, and I have been credibly informed that said William, is much embarrassed with debts & that he owes as much as three hundred dollars.
I further testify that I have no reason to believe there is any contract or obligation in writing between the said Daniel Wymen and his son William for the support of the old man, or that there ever was any written obligation between them - William lived with his father for many years while he resided in Chester, and had the principal charge of the business of the farm & I have no doubt he was to have his pay out of the proceeds of said farm when the farm was disposed of -

Dear Sirs,
In tracing my ancestry back to Revolutionary times, I am writing to you to ask your help in obtaining authentic information which might assist me in establishing my eligibility to membership in the D.A.P.
In the archives of the War Department, in their pension or service records, can you give me any information regarding a Captain Daniel Wyman of Winthrop (now Readfield) Maine. This Daniel Wyman was born about 1753, at Winthrop, married August 24, 1778 to Ruth Wing. As near as I know, he served in the war in 1775-76.
Any facts or figures which this department might give me would be greatly appreciated. If there is a charge for this service, let me know; I would be glad to pay a moderate fee.
Very truly yours,
Eda Wing Schneider (Mrs. R.T.)

Hon. J. H. Baker
Commissioner of Pensions
Sir I wrote to Hon. B. F. Butler Member of Congress on the 12th January 1873 in regard to three different claims of Pension; but he handed my letter into your Office for a report On January 23-73 You reported no name given of the Soldier who was pensioned under the law of 18 March 1818 and dropped May 1st 1820.
My letter reads differently; it reads thus "The Father Daniel Weyman (the soldier who was pensioned under the law of 1818 and who was dropped 1820) owned a little wild land back from the town in which he lived worth four or five hundred dollars and he was suspended on the assu[m]e that he had too much property to comply with the law."

Richard Wyman; the son of Daniel Wyman, owned a little farm back from Bangor in the State of Maine and he took his Father Daniel Wyman into his family and supported him until he died which took place in March 1832.
Said Richard Wyman has been laid up with the Rheumatism 6 years and is 83 years old and lives with his son who is poor
A little over 3 years, said Richard Wyman gave me a Power to request the Commissioner of Pensions to give me a copy of his Father's Discharge; but the Commissioner reported that Congress passed a law in 1862 cutting off children from drawing the Pension which belonged to the Father; consequently it was no use to send the discharge but I have not learned that Congress intended to cut off those old Soldiers of the Revolution from the little stipend which was granted to them to make them comfortable

in the down hill of life.
It is still my request that You send the Discharge of Daniel Weyman who was placed on the Pension Roll under the law of 10 March 1818 and cut off in 1820. It appeared by your report to Mr Butler that I was not particular in giving names, so that the Commissioner could make a satisfactory report.
About 6 weeks since I wrote more particularly about the case, but I have not heard any thing about since.
Please answer the above enquiries
Very respectfully Your Obedient Servant
Samuel P. Anderson

Daniel Wyman, of Chester

I Caleb Page, a ged sixty years, upon oath testify and declare, that being myself a soldier at the time, and most of the time his com- -mate, I know that Daniel Wyman now of Christville in the District of Maine, served as a soldier, in the war of the revolution, all the year 1776 in Col. Learned's regiment of the Massachusetts line; and that he was honorable but verbally discharged at Pockskill Jan 7. 1777.

I Daniel Wymen now living in Fairfield County of Somerset State of Massachusetts, of lawfull age, do depose and say, that in the revolution- ary war, I was well acquainted with Daniel Wymen now of Chesterville in the County, Penobscot That in the year 1776 I well knew him in Capt Curtiss Company in Col Learned's regiment to which I then belonged, in the Massachusetts line in the Continental service - That he enlisted at Roxbury for one year as I understood, that afterwards we marched to the state of New York - and at the expiration of his term of service he was honourably discharged at the Dukesville in said State - That for as much as nine months we were mess mates together, and that I have a full knowledge that said Wymen was in the war more than nine months continued service - Daniel Wymen

To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, in Congress assembled.
The petition of the undersigned respectfully represents,
That on the 3 d . day of April, 1818, in pursuance of the law of Congress of 18. March, 1818, he made declaration of his services in the war of the revolution, before the Hon. Nathan Weston, Jr. Chief Justice of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas for the County of Kennebec, State of Massachusetts, that he enlisted for the term of one year in the Regiment commanded by Col. Learned, of the Massachusetts troops, on the continental establishment, at the expiration of which term he received an honorable discharge. In pursuance of his declaration he transmitted his papers to the War Department, and received from thence a certificate entitling him to a pension at the rate of eight dollars per month, which he continued to received, until by the law of Congress of 1. May 1820, he was required to exhibit a schedule of his real and personal estate, which he did. By said schedule it will appear that his real and personal property amounted to the sum of $1,093. and his debts to $700. leaving an excess of property over and above a sufficiency to pay his debts of $303. The Dept t . not being satisfied with this exhibit, directed your petitioner's name to be stricken from the roll. Under the law of 1. March, 1823, he exhibited a second schedule of his whole estate and income, by which it appears that his whole property had been absorbed in the payment of his debts: this schedule was also considered unsatisfactory. Under the order of the War Department of December, 1828, issued by the Secretary of War, he furnished a third and further schedule of his whole estate and income, by which it appears that his entire property in his profession did not exceed fifteen dollars: which schedule was not received and acted upon by the War Department until said order had been suspended by the then Secretary of War.
Your petitioner is now upwards of 76 years old, very infirm, and very poor; and destitute of any real or personal estate since the 30 th . Oct. 1820, at which time he made a settlement with his creditors. He now prays that his name may be restored to the Pension Roll of the State of Maine, from the date of its being stricken therefrom; And as in duty bound will ever pray.

Sir,
Old Mr. Daniel Wymaw, has again called upon me concerning his pension. He resides about 60. Miles from this place in new settlement. He has made oaths to his poverty & also that no written obligations whatever, ever existed between him & his son - That he is poor and in need of assistance in his country I have not the least doubt on my mind and I do hope you will now reconsider his claim & give a pension for the few remaining days which may be allotted him - I am your friend & oft. servt

————— Read, and ordered to be printed. —————
Mr. SPRAGUE made the following
REPORT:
The Committee on Pensions, to whom was referred the petition of Daniel Wyman, report:
That the petitioner served one year upon the continental establishment, as a soldier of the revolution. Under the pension act of 1818, his name was placed upon the roll of revolutionary pensioners; and stricken off under the act of 1820. His first declaration exhibited property to the amount of $1,093, and debts $700, leaving his balance of $303. His second declaration showed that his whole property had been absorbed by the payment of debts. A third schedule was presented to the War Department on the 13th day of February, A. D. 1829; by which, and the judgment of the court thereon, it appeared that his property did not exceed the sum of twenty dollars. The committee are of opinion that his name ought to have been restored to the pension roll from the time his last schedule was presented; and report a bill for his relief.
