I Roberts Hunkins of Sanbornton in the County of Strafford in the State of New Hampshire formerly of Haverhill in the State of Massachusetts aged seventy three years, depose and say, that I enlisted as a Soldier into the Company, commanded by Captain John Peabody in Colonel Francis Regiment on the Militsia establishment in the Massachusetts line sometime in the month of August 1776, for the term of four months, and did well and faithfully serve in said the Revolutionary War the said term of four months and then was discharged at Dorchester Heights in Massachusetts —

Sir The Pension paper herewith enclosed has been rejected at the 3 rd Auditor's office for the reasons stated therein - It has been differently understood here - it has been thought that when the children of a deceased pensioner personally appear before the judge of Probate and relinquished all their right title and interest to the pension of their father and a certificate to that effect was made thereby by the judge it would be sufficient to pass their interest in the pension to the person of the administrator or any other person without a particular assignment in writing. If it could be legally done it would save a vast deal of trouble. It is now almost impossible to have the requisition of the 3 rd Auditor complied with in this and several

other similar cases. Will you be so kind as to give me your views on the subject
I am Sir with great respect your most obedient servant

East Barrington N. H. Aug. 7. 1896. Pension Office Washington D. C.
B + H
Daniel  Buzzell of Barrington N. H. served in the Revolution and drew a pension until his death. Does the pension office know anything of his birth and parentage? I would also like his death date. His wife Molly or Mary drew a pension until her death. When did it occur and how old was she? In her application for pension does the date of her birth and marriage occur?
Nah Russell who died in Haverhill N. H. had his thigh broken at the Battle of Bunker Hill. Does the pension office know the dates of his birth and death?
His widow died in Manlius N. Y. very aged. Does the Office know the date of her death?
John Hughes of Rockingham Co. N. H. (perhaps from Epping or Windham) was also in Battle of Bunker Hill. Does the Office know of his birth & death and whether his widow drew a pension or not?
Very Truly
