I James Fogg of Limerick in the county of York and state of Maine of lawful age testify and say that in the year eighteen hundred and thirty three I was employed as the Physician of Daniel Lord of said Limerick a soldier of the Revolution - He was sick of a fever called the Typhus Fever and died on the fifteenth day of December of that year. His widow, [with whom he lived until his death], viz Hannah Lord now lives at said Limerick, and has not intermarried since the said Daniel Lord's death. The old Bible leaf which is sealed to the opposite side of this leaf I took a few days this day took from their old family bible which the said widow Hannah Lord delivered me. She told me it was in her husband's own hand writing - I have frequently seen him write and believe it to be his writing. I well know that this leaf contains the names record of the said Daniel & Hannah's children. Sarah Lord is said to have been  was her first child and I have often heard it said that Daniel Lord was in the army when his daughter Sarah was born. It appears from this record, which doubtless is correct I have no doubt is correct, that the

said Sarah Lord was born on the twenty eighth day of July seventeen hundred and eighty two.

I Peter Morrill of Limerick in the county of York and state maine, seventy one years of age do depose testify and say that I was born at Berwick in said county and lived at said Berwick until I was fifty years of age - that I have been from my infancy well acquainted with the widow Han- nah Lord who formerly lived at said Ber- wick within a half a mile of my father's where I then resided - that I well remember the time when it was reported that the said Hannah intermarried with Daniel Lord a soldier of the Revolution in 1781 - Her name before her said intermarriage was Hannah Morrill, but not related to me. And I also well remember that it was the common un- derstanding in the neighbourhood at that time that the said Daniel Lord had been a soldier in the army; And I further well know that after their said intermarriage, the said Dan- iel Lord left the said town of Berwick and was absent for the most of the time until the close of the Revolutionary war. It was then and there the common report and understanding that the said Daniel Lord had gone again

into the army, and that he was there doing the duty of a soldier in said army. During his absence after the said intermarriage his wife the said Hannah lived at her father's in said Berwick; and I very well remember that she visited my father's during her husband's absence in said army, and that she had with her a child which I understood was born during his absence as aforesaid.

I Amos Welch, merchant, at Limerick in the county of York and state of Maine of lawful age do testify depose and say - that I am well acquainted with Hannah Lord of said Limerick, and well know her to be the widow of Daniel Lord a soldier of the Revolution whose name is inserted in the old paper purporting to be the said Lord's affidavit hereto annexed. This old document I found among some old papers which belonged to Nathaniel Leavitt of said Limerick in his lifetime. The said Leavitt was a Lieutenant in the Revolutionary army and received a pen- sion as such as I understood - He lived within about a mile and a half of said Daniel Lord's and died some time in the year 1825 as near as I can recollect. It appears from this doc- ument that the said Daniel Lord was out in the service after his discharge at Fort George in 1777, for several short terms of time before the close of the war. It appears also that this document was written in the year 1822: for according to the records the said Lord was sixty four years of age in that year. I have often seen the said Nathaniel Leavitt write, and have much of his writing in my possession - and I have no reason to doubt.

and do not doubt that the said document was written by the said Nathaniel Leavitt under the direction of the said Daniel Lord.

I was one of the last three years men and was stationed in seventeen hundred and eighty two the most of the time at West Point - during which time I was stationed. I often met with Daniel Lord late of Limerick in said county deceased. He was then and there a soldier in said army; but to what company he belonged I cannot now remember - I well know that he served as a soldier in that year. I was well acquainted with the said Lord before he went into the army - and saw him often after the close of the war until his death in 1833. I have often talked with the said Lord about our services and always understood from him that he staid in said army until peace was declared. James Deshon Wiltrop Robert B Caverly State of Maine 3s.

Jere. Bradbury Clerk Jud. Court York County

Simsbury Maine Nov. 25. 1837. James L. Edwards Esq.
Dear Sir On the 7th of August last I mailed some papers directed to you, proving the claim of Hannah Lord, widow of Daniel Lord to a pension under the Act of Congress July 4. 1836. Since that time I received a letter bearing date Oct. 30. 1837, signed by Geo. W m Cummins Esquire in the following words to wit - "Mrs Hannah Lord's claim is rejected, her husband's service having terminated in 1777, and they were married in 1781. Her papers are placed upon our files."
I now send you additional proof showing that Mr Lord served two terms and was discharged in 1777; that he inter married Nov. 28. 1781; and soon after went again into the army. - that he was about a soldier in the army on the 28 th day of July 1782 when his first child, Sarah Lord was born - that he came home in a few weeks after the said Sarah's birth and afterwards went again into the army. I herewith transmit the deposition of James Deshon who swears that Daniel Lord was a soldier at West Point in 1782 - also the deposition of Peter Morrill who swears that Mrs Lord visited his father's during Daniel Lord's absence in the army in 1782, - that she had with her at the time her first child, Sarah Lord, that was then an infant - and that it was the common talk under -

standing that her husband had gone again into the army - The record of Sarah Lord's birth is also herewith transmitted - I also send you an old paper purporting to be Daniel Lord's deposition, which shows conclusively that he, Daniel Lord was out in the service more than once , after his discharge in 1777.
Mrs Lord's declaration which you now have on file was taken before a justice of the Peace. I have recently learnt that your rules require that widows should declare before a court of Record or a justice of a court of record. Although you made no objections to Mrs Lord's declaration in Mr M c Curry's letter; yet I send you another declaration more explicit than the first which was taken before two justices of the Peace , both aged and highly respectable merchants in this village. Justices of the Peace with us are bound by law to keep a record of their proceedings and papers their transact business almost precisely in the same form as other Courts of Record. We have no judge now residing in this county except Mr Hayes, judge of Probate who resides at South Berwick which is nearly forty miles from this place. Mrs Lord's infirmities are such that she cannot ride that distance; neither is she able to pay judge Hayes for traveling that distance and attending to her business - She hopes however that the testimony in her case will be deemed by you amply sufficient; even if her declarations were

laid entirely out of the case. But if your Honor shall decide differently; you will please inform us as soon as may be, and we will follow your directions so far forth as we are able.
The Court in this county will not be in session until February; by  time which Mrs Lord may be able to attend Court, if her declarations and the proof now before you shall not be deemed conclusive.
Yours Off. Servt.

Sarah Lord was born, which was on the twenty eighth day of July seventeen hundred -

and eighty two: that the said Daniel Lord came home from said army on a furlough when her first child the said Sarah was about five weeks old - He tarried with her but a few days and went again into the army and returned no more until peace was declared. He enlisted the last time during the war; and told her at the time that he should rather enlist during the war than for three years as he had reasons to suppose the war would soon end. - There is a record of the births of all her children in the old family Bible, which record was made by the said Daniel Lord in his own hand writing - She also declares that she saw the said Daniel Lord record the birth of the said Sarah soon after his return from said army upon a leaf of their bible; which leaf is herewith transmitted. To whose company the said Daniel belonged in the last of his service she does not remember - She also declares that there is no old person now living who was in the army with him, or that knows about his services to her knowledge - and that there are no old papers in her possession relating to his services in said army.
And she further declares that her husband the aforesaid Daniel Lord died on the fifteenth day of December eighteen hundred and —

thirty three; that she was a widow on the fourth of July eighteen hundred and thirty six, and still remains a widow as will appear more fully by reference to the proof hereto annexed and other papers now on file in the War Depart- ment.

but might have laboured under a mistake of the opinion, that he served beyond that time, that his service during some of the Revolutionary war was in the Navy & that possibly the latter part of his service in 1781, 1782 & 1783 might have been in the navy, the proof which or if military service she is now unable to obtain; that she was inscribed on the pension roll at rate of $66.66 per annum under act of July 7 1838 & March 3 1843 & continued to receive the same under act of June 17 1844 & that she prays for an increase of pension to eighty dollars per annum under each of said acts of Congress.

Dear Sir
Yours of the 22 nd of April was received in which you state that you "have examined the additional proof in support of the claim of Hannah Lord widow of Daniel Lord deceased and have filed it with her papers" - that "the witnesses in this case are positive that they saw Daniel Lord in the service at West Point in 1782" - that "yet from a careful examination of all the facts presented in the case there cannot be a doubt upon the mind that they are mistaken."
You further say - that "Daniel Lord in his declaration under the act of 18 th March 1818 stated that after his years service in 1777 he performed several short terms in the militia before the close of the war - that there can be no good reason to suppose that the militia of that part of the then state of Massachusetts were drafted and sent to West Point in 1782 - that he was not in the continental service in that year is apparent from his own statement"
You further inform me - that "a number of men were raised in Berwick in the year 1781 for three years and among them was Elisha Lord who enlisted in December of that year; and that this was no doubt the man whom the witnesses have confounded with Daniel Lord who was also of Berwick -"
That "the witnesses do not pretend to have any knowledge of the nature or extent of Mr Lord's service nor of any of the officers under whom he served but merely saw him at West Point"
Your letter also states that "If the names of the militia officers under whom Mr Lord served could be given

his service might possibly be traced on the rolls. That "the claim cannot be allowed on the present proof; nor can the Department be justified in receiving the testimony of any person in support of Mr Lord's service at West Point when it is so evident from all the facts in the case that he was not there" - and "that "it will therefore remain suspended until something more satisfactory is offered" -
In answer to the foregoing letter I have only to say that we have recently used due diligence to find some one living, who served with Mr Lord in the Army and who would be able to inform us where and under what Officers he served after the marriage in 1781; but can obtain but little information on this subject - Mrs Lord however knows as a last resort wishes you to do her the favour to search the rolls for her late husband's name in companies of on Captain Elisha Shapleigh, Captain James  or 20th Goodwin - Captain Derby & Capt. Hunt also the rolls of all the Companies that served under Col. Jackson - It is thought that

Sir, Indeed is the Persian certificate of Hecanal Lord of Kinnerick, whose pension you say was "adjusted by the service of another Dacnal Lord". you say "Her certificate should be returned with such evidence as the records at Boston may afford of the alleged service of 8 months in 1775 under Capt Lakin of Col Lee's Regt. If that be established she is entitled to a pension of 66 66 per per annum -" I have never written to Boston & find he has served three years but by the certificate now in my hands there is no evidence of any service under Capt Lakin - My your letter I infer that you have documentary evidence of 12 months service as that & alleged service under Capt Lakin would make 66 66 . Now the facts will turn out to be (I think because I infer it from the certificate in my hands of most 3 years service) that he served over three years & that no documentary

evidence of saving under Capt Lakin is extant — His order says he saved 7 men & that he saved after morning — I have but little doubt of that but supposing that one could not prove the saving thereby the morning I have put in the claim as under date of July 7 1888 — Having some confidence yet that it can be proved I intend making record personally at Porto next week & shall probably be at Washington during that week — I shall visit the department under an expectation that you will do me the favor that you will to examine this & some other claims presently as further

disloy would be tantamount to a rejection
