Dear Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 37636, it appears that Butler Lombard was born in Barnstable, Massachusetts, date not given.
He enlisted in 1775 and served eight months in Captain Williams' Company in Colonel Phinney's Massachusetts Regiment. He enlisted at Gorham, Maine District, in December 1776 or January 1777 and served in Captain Richard Mayberry's Company in Colonel Tupper's Massachusetts Regiment, was at the capture of Burgoyne and at the battle of Monmouth, and was discharged December 31, 1779.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 16, 1819, at which time he was sixty-three years of age and was a resident of Canaan, Somerset County, Maine District.
In 1821 he stated that his wife had been dead for sixteen years and made reference to his children but did not give their names.
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.

• Buttle Lombard

To all whom it may concern.
This may certify that whereas Butler Lumbard was a revolutioner Soldier and has drawn pay about Eleven Months, but being supposed to have property was excluded from the Pension List, but in paying his Debts he has become poor & needy as he is so infirm that he cannot do any thing for his Support, nor yet get those things necessary to make him comfortable in his infirmities: We therefore pray your honours, that as our Honourable betters have provided for such as have served for their country and have become poor and needy to have something to support them, that he might be admitted and registered upon the Pension List again, Otherwise he must be supported by this Town
NB Mr Butler Lumbard's Complaint is of the Asthmatic kind, as has been upon him for about five and twenty years, and of late it has been so bad, as has to deprive him of almost every branch of business.
