Ebenezer Kellogg Bays of Settlers in Grafton County N.H. draws a small pension of 22.00 per year for two terms in Mass Militia in 1776 & 1777 of many months each - he acted as orderly sergeant during both terms received pay as sergeant & he supposes he was put down for certificate of pension private by mistake - He wishes the mistake if it is one corrected so that he can draw as sergeant to pay instead of as private pay for the time he served
It will much oblige him - an answer to us will be in favor of his pay
