Commonwealth of Massachusetts County of Worcester, ss.
In this ninth day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty eight, personally appeared before me Nathan Judge of the Court of Probate for said County of Worcester, Eleanor M'Clintock a resident of Wadsworth in said County of Worcester, a- ged eighty four years, who being first duly sworn according to law did on her oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the Act of Congress of July 4. 1836.
That she is the widow of James M'Clintock late of Palma in the County of Hamp- shire in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts who was a private soldier in the Army of the Revolution. He went into the service from the town of Upton in the County of Hampshire but adjoining some towns of Pal- mer and Wadsworth, and served as the only

libels in Roxbury, Dorchester, and in other towns in the vicinity of Boston, for the term of eight or nine months. This libel the libel was in the handwriting of Ch. Davis Widow and company of Capt. Jonathan Davis well and proceedings of it she refers to two old depositions taken by her said husband in his lifetime for the purpose of obtaining a pension, the one of Doctor Elias Hovey of Bethlehem and the other of Elias Hovey of the same Bethlehem, both of whom are now dead. She also refers in this dis- cussion to the skeleton of a declaration made by her said husband but which it appears to never executed for a pension under the law of Congress of 1820. These several papers are marked (A.) (B.) (C.)
This widow was before her marriage to her said husband, but as she lives in the residence with him, and has at that time particularly acquaintance with him, she mentions perfectly the services, though she could not as of her own knowledge state who his officers were. She further

declares that after this service, to wit in the year seventeen hundred and seventy seven her said husband again went in- to the service and went up to the taking of Burgoyne, and was gone in this service about six weeks but she does not know and has as yet found no means of as- certaining the his affairs are.
She further declares that in the latter part of the war her said husband again went into the service she thinks in the year seventeen hundred and eighty two. She knows it was pretty early in the spring of the year and he returned the next win- ter. He went south in this service. She has heard her husband speak of being in York, Philadelphia, Tishkill and other places, but she does not know the his affairs are: on account of this service her said husband made an application for a pension under the law of 1818 which was was not allowed, for the reason

as she represents that there was not enough time for it. The papers were returned to the Hon John Hooker upon which they had been originally taken the soon after discovery, and they have remained in the hands of his legal representatives in Springfield till within a few weeks past, she not knowing where they were. This old declaration of her knowledge marked (E) is hereby annexed, and also the dep- ositions of Thomas Blackmer, John Spear and Guelph Grew which accompany the same. Then these last depositions are marked (E) (P) (G). All these dep- ositions she has reason to believe are true except Grew, and she is not ordering all since whether he is living or not. She has no other documentary evidence throw- ing any light upon her case, and she trusts that this evidence, with the notes in the War Department will make out her case, as she knows it exists in reality as in fact —
She further declares, that her intention

name was Eleanor Cummings; that she was married to the said James M'Clintock at said home by the Rev. Mr. Tike on the tenth day of March in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy  sixteen seventeen hundred and seventy six; That her husband the aforesaid James M'Clintock died at said Palence on the twenty-sixth day of December in the year eighteen hundred and ninety four, and that she has survived him till now, as will more fully appear by the proof hereto annexed.
I am to certify that in the daytime year Eleanor } M'Clintock probate estate mark

I Hannah McClintock of Ware in the County of Hampshire & State of Massachusetts of lawful age testify and say that I am well acquainted with Mrs. Eleanor McClintock of Brookfield in the County of Worcester the widow of James McClintock late of Palmer in the County of Hampshire & State aforesaid deceased & was well acquainted with said James McClintock previous to his decease. The said Eleanor was my sister, & we married Brothers. I was present at the marriage of said Eleanor to the said James McClintock and saw the ceremony performed by a Clergyman in said Ware, at the House which previously to that time belonged to the Rev. Mr. Thayer the pastor of the Church in that place who deceased just the time of said marriage. I think the marriage was solemnized by the Rev. Mr. Fisk who was then a minister in Brookfield. The time when it took place was the tenth day of March in the year after the Battle of Bunker Hill; I think it was March 1776. I will remember that said James McClintock was absent in the year 1775 & was said to be a soldier in the Revolutionary Army at Roxbury near Boston in Massachussetts. They (the said Eleanor & James) were married the March following. The said James McClintock died about thirteen years ago at Palmer. I did not attend the funeral on account of ill health but my son & daughter attended it. He was sick for more than a year previous to his death. The said Eleanor McClintock still remains unmarried & the widow of said James McClintock. She is about two years

older than I am, & I shall be

I Thomas Brown of Limerick in the County of Limerick and state of Massachusetts, being seventy six years of age next June, do upon oath say, That since I formerly was called upon to give my deposition in the case of Eleanor M c Clintock for a pension, I have thought much of it, and it has occurred to me, and I am now fully satisfied that at the time her husband James M c Clintock was out at the taking of Burgoyne he was in the Regiment of Col. Brewer . I cannot state positively what the name of his Captain was, but I am confident he was in the same Company, of which his father in law James  Abraham Cummings was a Lieutenant. What makes me think so is, that Lieutenant Cummings was out in that service, and sent from here, the same town to which M c Clintock belongs. It also bears strong on my mind, that Capt. Blocher of the adjoining town of Greenfield, was the Captain of that Company. But of this I am not certain. I believe I formerly stated, and I now state that I know M c Clintock was in the service at the taking of Burgoyne. his Thomas D. Brown mark

Sir,
I have just received, by way of the Hon. Mr. Calhoun, your communication to him of the 21st inst. in relation to the pension case of James McClinton, under the Act of July '36. It appears that Capt. Brubaker was in service in Va. in Augt. 1777. was not Abraham Cummings the Lieut. in that Company. nor is not the name of James McClinton. Affidavits evidence, on the roll there of? The testimony of the fact, that McClinton was in a short service at the north base in the year 1777, induces those respective enquiries.
Yours very Respectfully
Wm. Norton
P.S. I have delayed forwarding this letter to enable the friends of Mrs. McClinton to make

some further enquiries in her case. These enquiries confirm the impression that Abigail Cummings was attached to the Regiment in the Massachusetts line commanded by Col. Brewer, in the Company of which Abigail Cummings was Lieutenant. Please inform me whether the name of Abigail Cummings is to be found on the roll of Officers of that Regiment.

Sir,
Your letter of the 24th ult. to the Hon. Lee Lincoln, has been transmitted to me. In reference to the case of Hannor M'Clintock an applicant for a pension under the Act of 1836, you have had the goodness to examine the rolls of the Company of Capt. Hooke in the Regiment of Col. Woodbridge, on which you do not find the name of Hannor M'Clintock the applicant's husband. Will you please to inform me whether Lieutenant Cummings was the Lieutenant in the Company of that Capt. Hooke? and was there not a Capt. Hooke in the Regiment of Col. Browning of Brimfield, where Regiment, I believe, was at the taking of Bunkerhill. It is not surprising that there should be some confusion in the minds of the Disputant as to the Regiment in which the alleged service was performed, but

I think there can be no doubt but that it was performed in the Company of Capt. Hecker, and of which Cummings was the Lutteur

Thomas Brown of Antrim in the county of Antrim do hereby certify that I am in the seventy sixth year of my age, and my wife is sister of Eleanor McClintock who I understand is an appli- cant for a pension from the United States. I was born in the town of Bane, since in the year 1777 my father moved into the adjoining town of Palmer. My father lived within about a mile of the father of James McClintock the husband of said Eleanor, and I knew of his the said James McClin- tock going into the Revolutionary eight months service at the commencement of the war. Afterwards, the year my father moved to Palmer said James McClintock went again into the service up Northfield at the taking of Burgoyne. I recollect that he went out the latter part of Summer or the first part of fall of that year and returned after the taking of Burgoyne. I cannot state the

Since then he has gone in this war but I believe he must have been gone six weeks or two months. He went in the Company commanded by some officer in that neighborhood, but I cannot remember his name, but I know it was the same Company of which Abraham Cummings of here was the Lieutenant. I know that fact, because our lives were his daughters, and I have heard the fact stated at great many times.
In the latter part of the war, before they took Cornwallis, he went out again to the South as a teamster under Capt. John Densmore of Hardwick, and he has gone out in this service nine months. Elmer Gouge I recollect went out with them, and I remember that they got home late in the fall or early in the winter after they started. I always understood that they went out on an engagement of nine months. But I cannot state any fur-

the particulars of this kind. Mr. Mc Intosh married the same Eleanor Cum- mins, my wife's mother, sometime during the war. He died about fifteen years ago and she is now his widow & has never been married since his death.

Calvin Davis Deposition

I Calvin Davis of Brookfield in the County of Worcester and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being now fiftyfive years of age, do testify and say that I have been well acquainted with James M c Clentick and Eleanor M c Clentick his wife for forty years past (as to her with him) as I married their Daughter - said James M c Clentick died in Palmer in the County of Hampshire December 26 th 1824 I attended his funeral, Eleanor M c Clentick his widow is now a widow and has remained a widow ever since said James died she lives now in my family, and has resided in my family the principal part of the time since the death of the said James -
The Depositions produced as proof relating to said James M c Clenticks services in the last Campaign were lodged in the hands of the Honourable Judge Stockes in his life time, and have remained among said Stockes papers until within a few weeks, when I wrote for them and obtained them for said Eleanor - Mr M c Clentick was poor and sick for some years before his death and unable at that time to answer for any further evidence, (therefore the papers have since lay silent) The Depositions relating to said James M c Clenticks services in the first Campaign were left in the Widows hands, where they have remained ever since, I have lately ascertained by writing to the Postmaster that Gideon Grafton of Palmer in the County of Hampshire, one of the witnesses, is dead, has been dead about two years, and John Shaw of Otis in the County of Berkshire, another of the witnesses has been dead several years, and the others I know were dead before -
I was not born until about the close of the war of the Revolution, therefore I know nothing about said James services in the war, but he has often times told about his services in the war, he told me from circumstance of his going out one night with others for a skirmish to obtain some of the enemys property on Governor's Island near Boston, and they were fired upon by the enemy and one of our men killed - and further say the not

Sir,
Yours of the 27th inst. is received. Agreeably to the information contained in my last communication to you, I now forward to you the declaration of Emma of Emma M. Taylor for a prologue within the Act of July 1838, for the right and the divorce before the marriage, which is already verified. Her friends are all entirely confident, that she is entitled under the Act of 1836. But as their present means of information in her case, are extraneous, they conclude to take the course above indicated, compelling in the justice of the department and of the government, if further evidence should hereafter be discovered.
I am very Respectfully Yours J. M. H. Morton
