I hereby empower you to examine any papers upon the files of the Pension office, relative to a claim for a pension, made by my father, Peter Labory, sometimes called Peter Peter Labree, for the purpose of ascertaining what proof may be necessary to complete his claim for a Pension - My Father lived in Brentwood N.

of Brentwood N.H.

I Peter Labbese of Brentwood in the County of Rockingham and State of New Hampshire testify and declare, that I was born in George Town State of Maine and there lived untill I was Twelve years of age and then moved to Mount Desert, (so called) and lived there untill the Revolutionary War began. When the War began I went in a Sloop Schooner Commanded by Morgan Crabtree, and took an Old Sloop bound from Annapolis to Halifax worth about Three hundred Dollars from thence I went to Salem and entered a Continental Vessel Commanded by Daniel Waters of Eight Guns four pounders I was in said Vessel for the Term of Eleven months, just at time off Cape Ann we took a Wood Cutter bound to Boston which was then occupied by the British also took a Schooner of Sixty Tons, bound to the West Indies from Annapolis Isle and the remainder we were on a cruise for the Jamaica Fleet.
I was in the Brig called the Trinidade Commanded by Jonathan Haddock of Salem Massachusetts in the Year 1781. untill peace was declared and in Company with a sister Brig Commanded by Capt Fish. We being Two Brigs of Fourteen Guns Six pounders and on a Cruise off the Grand Banks we took a Copper Bottomed Brig and put a prize master on board and ordered her to Salem but she was retaken and we then sailed towards the British Channel and on our cruise we took after a running action of Three hours and a half a Vessel of superior Metal to ours and they had Two of their officers killed, we had no one killed from there we cruised in the English Channel off Cape Clear on the North side Ireland side, and there we took a Vessel we called a Snow which the invoice of her Cargo, was Twenty five thousand pounds sterling. Also we took a Brig with Sixty Officers and Three Women on board bound to Quebec. Also we took a Brig loaded with provisions and Salt bound to Newfoundland. Also we took off the Channel Three other Vessels making Seven which arrived home safe a Seventy four Gun Ship gave us chase and drove us into France I was out in this Vessel from Fifteen to Eighteen Months you will find my name on the ship's books prior to this Cruise I was out a Privateering and was taken prisoner and carried into New York and there kept a little better than a year, when I returned home I have lived in Brentwood not far from Sixty five years but have been occasionally to Sea. My Sea service including the Revolutionary War services has been not far from Forty Years I have been a Sea Captain about Twenty years I am Ninety years old

at the breaking out of the Revolutionary War I entered the service as a Volunteer but after a service of Eleven Months I thought I should get more by entering a Privateer which I did until I was taken prisoner and suffered so much at New York. I then thought if I was in the State service I should be exchanged soon and it would be better for me and accordingly entered the State of Massachusetts service in 1781. and served Fifteen months. I was honorably discharged which discharge is lost, but you will find my name on the payrolls of the Frigates. during all of which time I served in the capacity of an able bodied Seaman, and he therefore prays that the Court be take order herein to entitle him to a Pension agreeably to an act of Congress passed June 7. 1832. he being entitled to the provisions therein contained to a Pension for five years service.

Dear Madam:
You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 6069 , that Peter Labree, the name also appears as Laborey, Labberce and Labouy, was born in Georgetown, District of Maine, date not given.
He stated that he was a "Canadian Frenchman" and when he came among the English people, they pronounced and spelt his name in many ways, and that he spelt it in various ways himself.
He lived in Georgetown until about twelve years of age, when he moved to Mount Desert and lived there until the Revolutionary War began.
He applied for pension, March 19, 1845, then a resident of Brentwood, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, and aged ninety years, and alleged that early in the Revolution, he went in a small schooner, commanded by Agran Crabtree, to Salem, and entered on board a privateer, commanded by Daniel Waters, captured many prizes, was taken prisoner and carried to New York and held on the Jersey prison ship for about one year; and in 1781 entered on board the "Tyrannicide", commanded by Captain Jonathan Haraden, cruised off the Grand Banks, and to the English Channel, captured seven vessels, length of this service, fifteen months.
The claim was not allowed as he failed to furnish, as required by the pension laws, proof of six months ser-

vice.
The soldier died April 8, 1851
His son, Lawrence L. or S. Labree, was a resident of Brentwood, New Hampshire, in 1851; and aged

Sir,
In relation to the claim for pension in virtue of the revolutionary services of Peter Labaree, you are respectfully informed that the papers on file, have been several times examined, and They do not warrant an allowance, to for the reasons assigned in a letter addressed to George C. Ames, Esqr. the former attorney, under date of July 26. 1851, a copy of which I herewith enclose. No evidence has been produced since the date of this letter. I also enclose the memorandum left at this office by you.

Dear Sir
Enclosed you will please find the declaration of Peter Labree or Labbee, for service alleged to have been rendered on board the Tyranicida, a Vessel belonging to the State of Massachusetts. Applicant has now on file some papers I understand in support of his claim to which reference will of course be had when this application comes up for action
Very Respectfully Yours obedt Servt Geo. L. Dunc,

Pension Office July 26, 1851
G. C. Ames, Esq. Present - Sir:
On a review of the case of Peter Labree, it appears that he claimed to have served under Captain Waters and subsequently on the "Tyrannicide!" His claim is supported by no witness and only by an entry found in the Massachusetts a archives, showing Peter Labowry to have served in the latter five months and six days. If this man were conceded to be the same, with the claimant, the service is not sufficient to entitle him to a pension. As to that asserted under Waters, we have no evidence that the latter was in service himself and the probability is that he was a privateer.

Dr Sir -
Can I ask of you to grant a favor as to examine the list of pensioners for the purpose of ascertaining if there be such a name on the Revolutionary pension list as - Peter Sabree ; and if so, be kind enough to inform me by letter directed to Boston, Mass, what time application was made for pension, (it was 3 or 4 years since, I believe), how much back pay he received, and what amount he is now receiving monthly?
The old gentleman, now living in N.H. 96 years of age, was commissioned as captain of a privateer, of which he was owner. At one time taken prisoner (losing his vessel) and confined on board the Jersey Prison Ship, from which he escaped; - besides, I think, actively engaged in same capacity during the last war.
Why I seek information, is that I am informed he was induced three or four years since, by a farmer in Epping, N.H. by the name of Dole , or Dole , to apply for a pension, and through this man succeeded, who paid him, cash $100! as back pension, and said he would receive regularly hereafter, $8 per month. Here something must be wrong; and as I visit the old gentleman next week, I ask a letter confirming or denying the above, in order that, if there be a wrong, I can have it set right.
(over)

If the said Labree has not applied, What are the proper steps to take? how much back pension would he be entitled to? and on what rates? It is doubtful there are any persons are now living who sailed with him, or could identify him, - therefore what other proof is necessary? He sailed mostly from Ports= mouth, N. H. and occasionally from Boston.
Excuse me, Sir, for the trouble this must necessarily put you to, but if there has been a wrong done, I wish it corrected.
Please direct an answer to this a word early as possible, to Boston, Mass.
Yours Most Respectfully

Sir,
I have the honor to inform you that the Certificate of the Secretary of State of Massachusetts forwarded by you in the case of Peter Labaree, showing that Peter Labaree served on board the Tyranicida 5 mo 16 days, this, if it be admitted that is the rendered by applicant, is not sufficient to entitle him to a pension. Claimant alleges service on board on board two other vessels, under Capt: Brattle and Waters, but the duration of that service is not stated, and no evidence whatever to sustain this allegation has been furnished , nor is it shown that these officers commanded public vessels. This service will not be allowed unless the Relevant and most satisfactory proof be produced.

Sir,
In reply to your letter relative to the claim of Peter Labree, you are informed that it has not been admitted, for the want of evidence that he rendered as much as six months, service in the Revolutionary War. The accompanying copy of a letter addressed to the Hon. Mr. Norris, of the House of Representatives, on the 17 th day of January 1846, will show you the last action of this office on the claim.

Sir,
I have the honor to inform you that the certificate of the Secretary of the State of Massachusetts, forwarded by you in the case of Peter Sabau, showing that Peter Sabau served on board of the Tyranicide, 5 months, 16 days has been received and filed. This service, inasmuch as it was admitted that it was rendered by applicant, is not sufficient to entitle him to a pension.
Claimant alleges service on board of two other vessels, commanded by Captain Brabtree and Waters; But the duration of the service has not been stated, and no evidence whatever has been produced to sustain it, - or that the officers named commanded public vessels. This service cannot, therefore, be allowed unless substantiated by satisfactory proof. Dear Mr. Norris, Very Respectfully &c H. G. Raper. (Signed) J. L. Edwards
