REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS.
PENSION OFFICE,
February, 12 th 1856.
Sir :
The claim of Hannah Sombart, for bounty land under the act of the 3d March, 1855, No. 129.655 has been examined and suspended.
The revolutionary service of Thomas Sombart, the husband of the applicant, does not appear of record in this office.
The 3d section of said act requires a service of "FOURTEEN DAYS" to be established by "RECORD EVIDENCE."
Upon the production of such evidence of service, the claim will be favorably considered.
IT SHOULD BE OBSERVED, that the recorded action of this office, admitting a revolutionary soldier to the list of pensioners upon parole proof, is not considered " service record evidence" within the meaning of the act aforesaid. In all applications for bounty land under this act, the papers of the soldiers, or their widows, who have applied for or received pensions, as well as the rolls in this office, are carefully examined for record evidence of service, before this circular is issued.
Respectfully,

Honorable, Albion K. Parris Esq r &c &c
I hereby certify that in the year 1780, a Detachment of Massachussetts militia were raised for the defense of the District of Maine & placed under my command to serve for eight months. Said Detachment was on Continental Pay & Rations & estimated as Continental Troops; they served out their appointed Term, which expired in November or December & were dismissed at the end of said Term without any individual Discharges. The Bearer hereof, Thomas Lombard, says that He was a Soldier in said Detachment & that He belonged to Cap t Andrew's Company. Cap t Andrews I well recollect & the Service that He, with his Company, were appointed to, but the young man (as He then must have been) I have no particular recollection of, tho' I have not the

least doubt of the art from the circum- stances he relates.
I am with great respect, your most obedient serv t .
