ON this Eighteenth day of July A. D. 1832 personally appeared before the Hon. NATHAN WESTON, Jun'r, a Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court, of said State, Nathaniel Stevens a resident of Guilford in the County of Penobscot and State of Maine, aged Seventy Seven years, who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the Act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832. That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the year 1775 with Captain Moses Merrill and served in Col. Phinney's regiment of the Massachusetts line or troops under the following named officers: viz, Merrill (Capt.) and Phinney Col. That he enlisted in said Company & Regiment as a private in April 1775 for the term of eight months (the first eight months service). This period he fully served out, was honorably but verbally discharged at Cambridge, Mass; the last of December 1775 . That he again enlisted in June 1779 as a private for the period of three months for the Penobscot expedition to take Bangaduce in Capt. Nathan Merrill's company, Col. Mitchell's regiment of the same line or troops. That he served until the entire failure of the expedition & returned home by permission of his officers after he had served about three months.

And to the interrogatories propounded under the instructions of the court, he answered: That he was born at Gloucester, Essex, Mass. in November 1754, I believe his age to be of record in that town. That during the Revolutionary War his home was at New Gloucester (afterwards at Monmouth, Danville, Litchfield & lastly at said Guilford, all in Maine). That during this first service he served at Cambridge. That during the second period he served as he has stated. That he enlisted into the service was not drafted or received as a substitute. That he never received a written discharge from the service. That any of his neighbors will testify to his character for veracity & their belief of his revolutionary services. And he names John Neal Esq. of Litchfield.
18 July He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any agency in any State.

Stevens now on the files of the Department, to which she would refer for a more explicit statement, as from age lapse of memory she cannot be more definite in particular. She further declares that her husband Nathaniel Stevens she was married to Nathaniel Stevens on the 4 th day of May A.D. 1779 that her said husband died on the 20 th day of November 1837 (as will also be seen by reference to the paper accompanying his Pension certificate made out for the purpose of drawing the balance of pension after his decease which are supposed to be on the files of the Department) She was married in New Gloucester Cumberland Co. Maine supposed it was recorded by the Town Clerk but does not know. It was also recorded in our Family Bible, but before the Family left the State of Maine more than 5 years since the old Family Bible being much decayed nearly worn out my Son Daniel Stevens transcribed the Family record into a new Bible which has been since kept as our family Bible.

County of Cuyahoga ss. On this 2 nd day of June 1833 before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace for the said County of Cuyahoga, personally appeared Nathaniel Stephens who, on his Oath, declares that he is the same person who formerly belonged to the Company Commanded by Captain Merrill in the Regiment Commanded by Colonel Dinney in the service of the United States, that his name was placed on the pension roll of the State of Maine, from whence he has lately removed; that he now resides in the State of Ohio, where he intends to remain, and wishes his pension to be there paid all in future. The following are his reasons for removing from the State of Maine to Ohio, (Pittsburg Agency). His children were all coming to Ohio and he wished to come, rather than to left. He thought he could live here with less hardship than in Maine. Also the climate of Ohio may be preferable to him to be more agreeable to him.

Personally appeared before me William Stevens of lawful age who being duly sworn deposes & says that Na- thaniel Stevens served a tour of 8 months in the Mi- litia under Captain Merrill in General Ward's North's Brigade near Boston, that he also ser- ved two months in Capt. Merrill's Company on the Penobscot River that Nathaniel Stevens was married to Mary Francis (now Widow of Dr. Nathaniel Stevens) on the 4th day of May 1779 that the service last performed was due in the summer following - Deponent was about 12 years younger than Dr. Nathaniel Stevens does not recollect the particulars but well re- ollects when his brother Nathaniel left home for Cambridge & when he returned also when he was married to his present Widow also when he went to the Penobscot near Castine when he returned in the summer of 1779 but does not know but he served more than two months, but thinks he served at least that time at least 10 months in the whole - The last tour was performed after he was married to his pres- ent Widow. Deponent is under the impression that Dr. Nathaniel served more than 2 months in the last tour more than 10 months in the whole but supposes his services will be more particu- larly enumerated in his Declaration the proof accompanying it on the files of the department

Dear Sir.
I received by this evening's mail the enclosed letter from Mr. Bassworth of Meigs County. This, which had enclosed within it, the Power of Attorney of Mary Stevens &c, - A part of that Coll. relates to my own private business - I will thank you to give me an answer to so much of it, as respects the business of the Pension Office - He requests me to present the power of Atty at the proper Office for adjustment - Will you be so kind as to inform me what I ought to do with this power?
I am very respectfully & Gerrit F. Smith

Vienna May 60 Ohio Oct 12th 1837
Rev. Edward Ely, Sir, Enclosed are two communications, recently recd, which will I think substantiate the fact of marriage altho they do not in  literally comply with the law. I send them on as they were recd hoping that Geo Parrish who I believe is a comptroller in the treasury de- partment will sustain the official character of Samuel Hoxworth or at any rate give such information as will be satisfactory. It is ex- tremely difficult getting business done at a great distance when there are not known responsible agents. And I fear, if the paper was sent to Cumberland Co. Pa. to obtain a certificate of the block attesting the official character of Hoxworth that another year would elapse before the return would be made. I hope this will be satisfactory — recd. a line from you stating that Mrs Stevens on the proper application would be en- titled to a pension under a law enacted prior to the one under which her application is made more favorable to her. She lives at some distance from

here her being allowed to a pension under her present application would not vitiate her application under another act that would not be more favorable to her if she should live to make it necessary - Please Enclose the Pension certificate if allowed to me if not please inform me as soon as the decision is made
