This Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his services and a careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account of the services of Pardon Brown.

The application of Dorothy Kinney, widow of Samuel, for bounty land, under the act of the 3 d of March last, has been examined.
The only record evidence of the service alleged is a list of persons who served in Capt Palmer's Company in Col.

Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress Passed June 7 th 1832
State of Connecticut } ss County of New London } ss.
On this 29 th day of March A.D. 1836 Personally appeared in open Court before the Probate Court for the District of North Stonington in said County now sitting Samuel Hinne a resident of the Town of Griswold in the County of New London and State of Connecticut, aged 83 years 13 th day of August who being first duly sworn according to Law, doth on his oath make the following amendment to his former Declaration — in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832, That he entered the service of the United States under the following named Officers, and Served as herein stated.
1 st That according to the best of My present recollection I volunteered in 1775 as a Corporal in Capt Joseph Palmer Company of Militia. — This was in what is called, "the Lexington Alarm ". That as near as I can recollect I joined the Company of Conn. Militia under the Command of Capt Joseph Palmer On or about the 19 th or 20 th of April of said year and Marched to Killingly where we joined the Regiment under Col Douglas, Officers in said Company were Samuel Robins Lt Nathanil Morgan Eny Sergeants, — Randall, — Huston, — & Hopkins. Lt Robins did not stay with us but a short time — we marched from Killingly Conn. in said Regiment to Roxbury Mass. near Boston where I remained in service about Ten days when Maj Gordon received Enlisting order and I enlisted under him for the term of Seven Months, and joined the Company of Enlisted Troops under Capt Waterman Cleft, — Edmund was a Lt. and Nathanil Morgan was Ensign, Ensign Morgan enlisted out of the same Company that I did & I think at the same time I did. Daniel Hopkins was also one who enlisted into the same Company I did. I remained in service at said Roxbury and in that vicinity from the time that I arrived there in Capt Palmers Comp. of Militia until on or about the first day of August of said year when I was taken Sick & My Father engaged a man by the name of Nathan

Denison to take my place as a substitute for which duties he gave him a premium in cash, That I was (from best of my recollection) in service as a Corporal at least 3 Months and Ten Days.
That in my former declaration it was set forth that I enlisted during the war which thing I did not state but I stated that I believed my substitute enlisted afterwards during the war. That the name of my substitute was written in my former declaration Amos Denison when it should have been written Nathan Denison . On mature reflection I think that I was mistaken in the name of my capt. that his name was as stated in this amendment instead of being Spicer . At any rate I am very positive that my Ensign was Nathaniel Morgan for him I had done Military duty under before I went to Roxbury — In proof of this I can refer to former testimony & to affidavit of H. B. Johnson Esq. who wrote my former declaration & to deposition of Capt Jonathan Stanton who first took the statement of my services on paper.
2 d Tour — That on or about the 10 th of June 1776 I was drafted to do a tour of duty at R.R. for 2 months and on or about the 15 th of June I joined the comp. of St. Militia, as a Corporal under the command of Capt Joseph Palmer at Watertown and marched to Providence R.I. and after a few days were marched down to Boston Neck R.I. and there and in that vicinity remained until on or about the 15 th day of August 1776 in keeping guard at said place when having served my time out was honorably verbally discharged by Capt Palmer and came home — making at least 2 months that I actually served in this tour. Daniel Hopkins & Moses Wylie I think were Sergeants during this tour St. & Ensign I do not now recollect — I do not now recollect that there was any field officer stationed with us during this tour. — I did not set forth this tour of duty in my former declaration & the reasons were that my Attorney said it would not be best to set forth any more service than I could prove & I did not know that Mr. Jedediah Austin was alive who was at said place at the time I was where

I became acquainted with him.
In proof of this tour I refer to the affidavit of Leducd Austin, J B Johnson Esq & Capt Jonathan Stanton. Deposit herunto annexed
3 d Tour My Tour at Westchester in fall of 1776 and the General Statement of my service in that Tour I refer to my former Declaration which will accompany this amendment to the War Department
4 th Tour That according to the best of my recollection on or about the the 19 th day of September 1780 I was drafted to do a Tour of duty at Groton Bank Ct for 3 months That I joined the Company of Drafted Militia as Corporal the command of Capt Joseph Palm - Ensign Not recollect
Col Ledyard had command of the Troops in Garrison The Commanding officer of the Militia at that Place & under whom our Company was, I think was Col Huntington
That I was actually engaged in keeping guard at said Place until on or about the 19 th of day of Dec. 1780. When I was honorably verbally discharged and came home (making 3 months in this Tour of duty).
In Proof of this Tour I refer to the affidavit of J. Austin. J B Johnson Esq. & of Capt Jonathan Stanton.
To my general Character I refer to the Depositions & Certificates of Mason Burdick, Col Samuel Button and Hon. Welcome A Browning & Hon. Alexander Stewart
Samuel Haines
Sworn and subscribed the day and year first aforesaid mentioned before the Probate Court for the district of North Stonington aforesaid -
Elias Hewitt Judge of Probate for the District of North Stonington

I, Menediah Austin of Stonington county of New London and State of Connecticut aged 74 years and upwards a Revolutionary Soldier and a pensioner of the United States after being duly sworn do Testify and say that in the year 1776 I lived in the Town of Westerly in the State of Rhode Island and was drafted to do a term of duty at Boston Neck R.I. for 3 months. That I joined a company of R.I. Militia at said Boston Neck under the command of Capt George Babcock, A. Burdick we were engaged at said place in keeping guard there was a company of Ct. Militia at said Boston Neck a part of the the aforesaid time - That from the best of my recollection I joined said company on or about the first of May 1776 I was dismissed on or about the first of August of said year -
That while at this place aforesaid I became acquainted with a man by the name of Samuel Hinne of Voluntown Ct. who belonged to the company of Connecticut Militia which was then there station during the latter part of my service in this town - according to the best of my recollection the company was then from Connecticut about one & a half months before my time was out - How long the said Hinne served I cannot positively state
That in 1780 - I was at Stonington Connecticut on a visit to my Brother in Law Andrew Stafford & he was drafted to do a term of duty at New London Ct & he hired me to do his duty for him - for which he gave me a 4 years old Mare - That I joined the company commanded by Capt J. Swan A. Avery Ensign Benj. Hewitt at Groton Bank as near as I can recollect about the 18 th or 20 th Sept. and remained there about one week & then was taken across the river to New London side and was quartered in the fort and engaged in keeping guard & repairing the fort. Sometimes sent down on guard by the Light House & so round the shore - I was here engaged at least 3 months in this town -

That while I was there on this tour of duty I will recollect that Samuel Kinne of Voluntown Ct. was there in a company of Ct Militia a doing the duty of a guard I do not recollect what capt. commanded the company he was in. Said Kinne was not station with me all of the time he was some times on Groton Bank and some times on New London side. I frequently saw him during the time I served there. Said Kinne served the full term of 3 months
I became acquainted with said Kinne at Boston Neck Rd in 1776 while I was there on a tour of duty with him. I have frequently seen said Kinne in former years when he has been to Pawcatuck Bridge on business I lived at S. Pawcatuck Bridge for a number of years after the Revolutionary war & have lived near there ever since until this time.
That I have seen said Samuel Kinne this day and conversed with him and know that he is the same & identical Samuel Kinne whom I became acquainted with at Boston neck Rd in 1776 & who I saw at Groton & New London in the year 1780 — as aforesaid stated
And I believe the said Samuel Kinne to be upwards of 80 years of age —

Johnson Esq. of Plainfield Attorney for Applicants to obtain Pensions in this Vicinity under the Act passed 7 th June 1832 to take the statement of several of the Applicants for Pensions. I accordingly did and among other took the statement of Samuel Kimm of Griswold in relation to his services in the Revolutionary War as he told them to me at the time and I do further testify & say, that the written statement is the same identical statement written by me on this piece of paper at the aforesaid time in 1833 as above named. (as to the officers he then said that he did not recollect many of them distinctly, for it was something that he had not thought of in a great while. Said Kimm did at the time name a number of soldiers who served with him but said he believed they were dead & gone except those within named he said that he would not be certain as to Abel Wilkinson being with him. But rather thought he was at New London a part of the time with him - Jonathan Stanton

I Francis B. Johnson of Plainfield in the County of Windham in the State of Connecticut, a Magistrate within and for said County of Windham, do hereby certify and declare that some time in the month of October 1833. I wrote the declaration of Samuel Rinne of Griswold in the County of New London for a pension, and from an examination of his old papers, which contain a statement of his services, which was made before I wrote his declaration, I am entirely satisfied that I misapprehended the applicant in relation to the part of enlistment. I stated in his declaration that he enlisted during the war, He says he told me that his substitute afterwards enlisted during the war, and I am fully of the opinion that he so said, from the fact, that when he made a statement of his services previous to my writing his declaration, which was to another and not to me, he did say, his substitute, afterwards enlisted during the war. The mistake therefore arose from his saying that his substitute afterwards enlisted during the war, which I misapprehended for a statement that he then at Rosebury Mass. in 1775. enlisted during the war. The mistake was mine, and not his, and I further certify & state, that at the time I wrote his declaration, he stated other tours of duty, than those stated in his declaration, but he then knew of no proof, other than his own oath. I therefore advised him not to state them in his declaration.
