Nathaniel Littlefield W. 20485 Thomas Andros, S. 5247 BA-J/MCS
Mrs. Jessie L. Richardson 632 Fenelon Place Dubuque Iowa
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for the Revolutionary War records of Nathaniel Littlefield and Thomas Andros.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, W. 20485, based upon the military service of Nathaniel Littlefield.
He was born September 11, 1752, in Stoughton, Massachusetts. The names of his parents were not given.
While living in Stoughton, he enlisted June 5, 1778, and served five months and nine days as private in Captain Benjamin Beal's company in Colonel Gerrish's Massachusetts regiment. He enlisted May 19, 1779, and served one month and sixteen days as private in Captain Job Cushing's company in Colonel Pierce's Massachusetts regiment. He enlisted August 11, 1779, and served one month and three days as private with the Massachusetts troops under Captains Joseph Richards and Samuel Fisher. He enlisted June 25, 1780, and served six months and sixteen days as private in Captain Jackson's company in Colonel Crane's regiment of artillery.
He was allowed pension on his application executed August 18, 1832, at which time he was living in Stoughton, Massachusetts.
He died there January 29, 1833.
This soldier married April 22, 1790, in Stoughton, Massachusetts, Rebecca Tucker.

As the widow of Nathaniel Littlefield, said Rebecca was allowed pension on her application executed August 10, 1838, at which time she was seventy-three years of age and was living in Stoughton, Massachusetts.
Darius, a son of Nathaniel and Rebecca Littlefield, was living in Stoughton in 1838.
The papers in this pension claim contain no further data relative to the soldier's family. *****
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in pension claim, S. 5247, based upon the military service of Thomas Andros.
He was born May 1, 1759, in Norwich, New London County, Connecticut. His father, whose name was not given, died when he was a young child.
While a resident of Plainfield, Windham County, Connecticut, he enlisted in December, 1775, as private in Captain Christopher Ely's company in Colonel Samuel H. Parsons' Connecticut regiment; after the promotion of Colonel Parsons, Colonel John Tyler had command of the regiment and Thomas Andros served until sometime in January, 1777. Between the commencement of 1777 and the time of the capture of Fort Griswold he served three tours of one month each and one tour of two months with the Connecticut troops under Captains Bacon and Cutler and Colonels Ledyard and Smith and was in General Spencer's Rhode Island expedition and in the battle of Rhode Island during General Sullivan's expedition to that place; one of these tours was as substitute for Abel Andros, his eldest brother, who was dead in 1832. In October, 1780, he entered the service at New London, Connecticut, as mariner on board the privateer schooner, Young Cromwell, Captain Hilliard, and served about one month. About the first of August, 1781, he again entered the service at New London, Connecticut, as mariner on board the privateer brig, Fair American, Captain Samuel Champlin; when out about two weeks said vessel captured a British brig and Thomas Andros, along with others, was placed on board the prize and ordered to carry her to New London; soon after

the prize left the privateer, she was captured by the British frigate, Sole Bay, and carried into New York and Thomas Andros was placed on the prison ship, Jersey, but he made his escape about the middle of October, 1781, having been held on said ship since about the middle of August.
He was allowed pension on his application executed June 12, 1818, at which time he was living in Berkley, Bristol County, Massachusetts, having moved there about 1787.
In 1829 Thomas Andros referred to his wife, Sophia, as being in her fiftieth year and also referred to the following children: Abigail, aged forty years; Lydia, aged thirty-five years; Sarah, aged twenty years; Leander, aged fourteen years; Richard L.L., aged eleven years; Milton, aged six years.
This is the history of the only Thomas Andros of Massachusetts that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Nathaniel Sittler which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides ? Yes II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides ? Yes III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so ? _____ IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served ? Yes V. * Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled ? Yes VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations ? Yes VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832 ? Yes VIII. Has the Court given their opinion ? Yes IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate ? Yes X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed ? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal ? Yes

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? 2 Citizens
XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it? _____
XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had?
Documentary Evidence
XIV. † If the applicant has produced a witness or witnesses as to his service, has the magistrate who administered the oath certified that he, she, or they are persons of credibility? Yes
Has the official character and signature of the magistrate been certified by the proper officer under his seal of office?
So
XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service? Yes
XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? Yes
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? 7.
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
“Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades: For _____ year _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____. For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension.”

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which the applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable.
† QUERE XIV.  Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
‡ QUERE XVI.  Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticated the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the end of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
