Sir
Timothy Toulmin, or Tumblin was a pensioner of the United States. He claimed to have entered the service of the United States in April 1775 in the provincial troops of Massachu- setts by enlisting for eight months in Capt - John Leland's Company - Lieutenant's name was Barbeek Col. Doolittle's Regt. Lieut. Col's name was Holden, Major's name was Moore - that he went down in the above of the battle of Bunker Hill - and enlisted a few days after war'd The Toulmin further said in his declaration that he was in the battle of Bunker Hill during this Campaign & that his Captain Leland was cowardly and immediately after the battle resigned his Commission to avoid being broke for cowardice? - The above is an extract from Timothy Toulmin's declaration made in 1832 - His widow applied for a pension & was directed to the Secretary of State of Massachusetts for Record proof
The Certificate of the Secretary of State says "not upon Roll of Capt John Leland for 1775"
The Commission of Pension says that this Certificate discredits her husband's

alleged service in 1775 under Col. Leland"
Will you be so good as to inform me if your records show at what time Col. John Leland left the service. Mr. Tumblin alleges that he resigned after the battle of Bunker Hill, but does not say who was promoted to his place. He says that Major Moore was in command of the Regt.
This is a matter of some consequence to the widow. If Col. Leland was in command of his company from April 1775 to December 1775, 8 months. Then Mr. Tumblin was greatly mistaken in his

Sir
I send herewith the Certificate of the Leg y of Massachusetts showing the recorded services of Timothy Tambelin, for whom his widow has an claim a pension. It appears that he claimed to have served in 1775, 8 months, that he entered the service in Capt John Leland's company & that Capt Leland resigned the day following the battle of Bunker Hill. The Leg y says "not upon Roll of Capt John Leland for 1775" I refer the Commission to the history which the St d has in 1832 upon of this service & have no doubt that he will be allowed of its truth - The 2 d period of service detected by the St d - commenced in March 1776 under Capt Seagrave with whom he served 3 months & was transferred to Capt John Shuttuck's Company Col. Brewer's Reg t Artillery & served 9 months. The Leg y says that there is "no Roll of Capt Seagrave or Capt Shuttuck" - The 3 d period of service was as a volunteer in the Connecticut Militia from the town of New Britain & came in the Spring of 1777 & served 6 weeks Officers Capt Payne Maj t Ripley - The 4 th & last term of service came in August 1777 under Capt Lamb, Col. Cushing & the time claimed was a little more than 2 months - The Leg y finds his name in Capt

Mason's 6) Cal. bushing Rept f 34 23 days commencing Aug. 16. endg Nov. 20. 1877 The Records do not contradict the old man but only show that his name appears in Mason's Comp y instead of Hamble's. It seems that after his enlistment, he with others volunteered under Col. Brown, under whom he fought at the Battle of Gettysburg. This may account for his giving the name of Hank as his Cwt. So far as the records go Mr. Tassablin served less than 4 months. Can any one read his declaration & believe it? - I knew the old man well, he was an honest man and his memory appeared very good. It seemed to me that Congress intended by the law of last May to exempt all such cases as Mr. Tassablin's from the burden of obtaining proof of the services rendered. If I understand the law, it can only be required when upon the examination of the testimony upon which the husband was pensioned the Com te is satisfied that the Pension was improperly granted. Can the Com te doubt but that Tassablin was properly pensioned and entitled to it under the law and rules then existing. If the testimony was sufficient at the time he was pensioned under the then existing rules to authorize a pension

to be issued to him, it appears to me, that the late Law forbids any further requirements, that in a case of this kind the only require- ment allowed is, was the husband properly pensioned according to the testimony & other rules at the time. With this view of the Law I do not see how a pension of the same amount that her husband drew can be withheld from Mrs. Farnham.

In your letter of the 4 th Sept. last you say "The Certificate of the Secretary of Massachussetts in the case of Sabaana Tarnbling widow of Timothy Tarnbling, discredits her husbands alleged service in 1775 under Captain Seland and that Claim to have been rendered as artificer not being verified by the Military records of that State nor established by satisfactory testimony cannot be admitted, as it is now known that there were no organized Corps of Artificers, until after 1776" I was well acquainted with Timothy Tarnbling and knew him to be an intelligent man and an honest man and have therefore believed the history of his services mainly correct - This induced me to copy that part of the old man's declaration which described his 8 mo's service in 1775 & ask the Secretary of Massachussetts to ascertain how far it compared with the record - By the return of the Secretary sent herewith you will perceive that the 8 mo's service was performed by the said Tarnbling & that the Lieutenant Burhark named by the old man was his lieutenant - The period of service recd in 1777 under Capt Loomis described by the old man as about 3 months, appears to have been 3 Mo. 23 days - There is now record evidence showing that the first

24th Dec 1876 4 fourth terms of service claimed in the original declaration were performed - The 3 rd term of 1 Mo. 15 days under Capt. Paine was a Volunteer service rendered from Roxbury Conn. & in Conn. troops. I have not written for evidence of that service, but most of you are of opinion it cannot be allowed without the only remaining service alleged in the original declaration is disallowed because as you say "there were no organized Corps of Artillery until after 1776". I beg your attention to the declaration of Mr. Tammelin. He says that he enlisted in March 1776 for one year under Capt. Edward Seagraves. Lieuts. Pike & Reed & Ensign Murray, Col. George Reed's 13 Massachusetts Regt. He enlisted as a private - that after serving three months in this Regt he was transferred to Capt. John Shattuck's Company of Artificers Col. Drown's Regt. - He continues says that there were no organized Corps of Artillery until after 1776 - there is evidently some mistake somewhere - perhaps the old man was mistaken in the date. Has the Department the rolls of Col. Drown's Regt from March 1776. I pray that they may be examined & compare with the aforesaid statement. In conclusion I beg leave to remark, that so far as records exist in Boston so far the old man's statement is proved to be true.

that the fair inference is that the whole statement is true, consequently Mrs. Tumble's ought to be allowed the same amount of annual pension that her husband received.
It appears to me, therefore that upon an examination of the proofs furnished the Commission will be satisfied that the claim of Mrs. Tumble was properly allowed.

Your letter of the 22 inst in the case of Mrs. Scambling is before me. Mrs. Scambling accepts the offer of a full pension as private assuming the right of asking for an increase whenever she shall be able to prove the right to her husband as an Artificer. I agree in your opinion that as he has enlisted as a private, his being detailed for other duty under it gave him additional pay did not entitle him to a pension above private. Mr. Scambling solemnly declared that he did receive the pay of an Artificer, for the duration of part of his enlistment.

Dear Sir: Did Timothy Tamblin or his wife receive a pension for his services rendered either in the Revolutionary War or the War of 1812 . (1) He served during the Rev. War as a private in Capt. Able Mason's Company in Col. Job. Cushing's Reg. Enlisted Aug. 16, 1777 discharged Nov. 30, 1777 Muster Rolls dated Sturbridge.
About 1808 he took up a farm and settled in Rutland N. Y.
(2) Timothy Tamblin was Capt. of a Company of about 49 men formed in Rutland, called the "Silver Greys" in 1812. Majority of these men are said to have been pioneers of the Rev. War
The company marched to Sacketts Harbor, where they remained 3 weeks and built Fort Thompson.
On Mch. 4, 1817 he was appointed an Ensign in the 76 th Reg. of N. Y. Militia from Jefferson Co.
Thought if his widow drew a pension you could give me date of his death, with perhaps some other

other information which will be interesting.
Very respectfully,
