Friend
I wish you would furnish me a certificate of the services of my former husband Nathan Lovell (deceased) in the war of the Revolution which may appear on the rolls of your office.
He was a resident of the Town of Holden in the county of Worcester & State of Massachusetts during the time of his service.
He served, I believe under Capt. Belknap & I think it very probable that he served under my father Ebenezer Dugdale of Shrewsbury who was a captain in the Revolutionary war & resided about two miles from him. I recollect of my said husband saying he was at Bunker's Hill, but whether in the engagement at that place I do not recollect.
He was a private I believe during the whole time while in the service. My memory is very much impaired; being now in the ninety-first year of my age. And from the long period of time which has elapsed since the decease of my said husband who died in the year 1812, I cannot bring to my recollection any other facts he used to mention about his service which would probably be material.
We were married in April 1781. He performed no service afterwards.

And I further Certify, That, before search made for evidence of said facts, the application hereto annexed was filed in this Office, in the form in which the same now appears; that the search was made by myself and my clerks alone; and that said application, and the certificate above set forth, contain all the facts and circumstances within my knowledge, pertaining to the case.

Madam:--
Replying to your request for information concerning James Walker, and Nathan Lovell, soldiers of the Revolutionary war, you are advised that James Walker made an application for pension on May 1, 1818, at which time he was 63 years of age and residing at Leydon, N. Y., and his pension was allowed for three years' actual service as a private in the Conn. troops, Revolutionary war; a part of the time he served under Capt. Knowlton and Col. Wylllys. Place of his enlistment not stated.
Anna Ingalls, former widow of Nathan Lovell, made an application for pension on December 28, 1848, at which time she was 90 years of age and residing at Manchester, N. Y., and her pension was allowed for the actual service of her husband as a private in the Mass. troops, Revolutionary war, for a period of eight months; a part of the time he served under Capt. Belknap and Col. Wade. Place of his enlistment not stated.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.

Hon. James L. Edwards, Com. of Pensions,
Sir, Sir,
Mrs. Ingham, the widow of Nathan Loomis, deceased, has requested me to assist her in obtaining a pension on account of the services of the said Loomis, her first husband in the war of the revolution, & I send you her declaration made in Dec. last, before Justice Brager. The delay in sending the declaration has been in consequence of endeavoring to obtain other evidence of service in addition to that contained in the Secretary's certificate, none however has been obtained.
I deem it also proper to state, as the reason why she has not made an application before that some after the law was passed allowing pensions to certain widows, she applied to a Mr. Horton to assist her, & was informed by him that by reason of her second marriage she was not therefore entitled, & was not otherwise informed until last summer.
On receiving the Secretary's certificate, I called on Mrs. Ingham about the services of her husband Nathan Loomis in the war after their marriage in Philadelphia. She recollected of having borrowed money from her husband, and of going to Worcester to trade, but could not recollect any thing particular about the service.
Her memory appears to be, as well as her

health, very poor, but from what her brother Aaron Ingalls of Hartford N.Y. has written me, I think her husband Silas, must have been the person described in the Secretary's certificate, as having received bounty money to send for the widow of Silas.
Her son-in-law James Farnworth is a person whose statements may be relied on in any case, & whose affidavit is hereto annexed with the affidavit of his late wife Laura Farnworth, now deceased, and I have obtained from the Pastor & Clerk of the Baptist Church in this place, certificates of their standing, & which accompany these papers.
I am Very Respectfully Your Obt. Servt - Peter Mitchell

Will you kindly and in record of James Walker who lived at Bicket, Wisc. and later at Byron, N.Y. and who was a Soldier in the Rev. War and is on the list of Pensioners Conn. men in Revolution. Also the name and record of the husband of

Who was also a soldier in the Revolution—
