Mrs. May Kimball Darby 83 Fremont Avenue Grant City, Staten Island, N.Y.
Dear Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W.12040, it appears that Abner Kimball was born in Haverhill, Essex County, Massachusetts, date not given.
As widow stated he served 3 yrs & as it is shown that he was the only Abner Kimball of Manchester, Mass. I used state report
While residing in Haverhill, Massachusetts, he enlisted February 12, 1777, served as a private in Captain Carr's Company, Colonel Wesson's Massachusetts Regiment, and was discharged February 12, 1780. It is stated that he was injured in his right side and had his collar bone broken by a wheel passing over him while in the service.
He died March 11, 1817, at his residence in Sanbornton, New Hampshire.
The soldier's first wife, who was a native of Bradford, Essex County, Massachusetts, died in the spring of 1803. Her name and the date of this marriage are not given. He married July 10, 1803, in Sanbornton, New Hampshire, Mrs Marcy Colby or Colbey, widow of Anthony Colby or Colbey. Her maiden name was Marcy Judkins.
She was allowed pension on her application executed April 1, 1853, at which time she was aged eighty-five years and resided in Sanbornton, Belknap County, New Hampshire.
Hannah Hersey, a daughter of Abner Kimball by his first wife, was aged sixty-eight years in 1853, and resided in Sanbornton, New Hampshire. Moses Kimball, a son by the first wife, was dead in 1853. There is no further reference to children.
In claim not located, widow gave date of her marriage as July 14, 1803, but as town clerk had given date of marriage as July 10, 1803, I used that date.

The following was furnished by the town clerk of Haverhill, Essex County, Massachusetts, as a copy of the records of said Haverhill.
"Abner Kimball &           } Married March 28" 1734. Dinah Barnett            }
Abner Kimball the husband died Aug. 1st 1752.
Abner Kimball Son of Abraham Kimball & Hannah Haseltine, born April 10, 1755".
There is no statement on file by which to determine whether the last named Abner Kimball was the soldier.
Very truly yours.
