100554 00555 The Deposition of Jonathan Beard to be used in substantiating the Claims of the Widow of David Merrill Junior to a pension on account of his services during the Revolutionary War, agreeable to the Act of Congress of the 7th of July 1838.
I Jonathan Beard of Harvard in the County of Worcester and Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Aged Eighty three years, a pensioner of the United States, on account of services rendered during the Revolutionary War, do testify and say that I well knew David Merrill Junior of Topsbury in the County of Middlesex and Commonwealth aforesaid, from his earliest youth that during his minority, I lived a near neighbor to him in the same town, that in 1775 he served with myself in the Company of Capt Benjamin Walker of Chelmsford, in the Regiment commanded by Coln. Ebenezer Bridge of Billerica. The whole of the Company were enlisted for eight Months, Most of the Men served longer. Question by the Magistrate. In what capacity did the said Merrill serve in the Army? Ans. as a Common Soldier. Question. Do you know that he served through the whole term of his eight Months enlistment? Ans. I think he did so, I have no reason to doubt it. I distinctly recollect that the said Merrill was with us at Cambridge, the week after Thanksgiving in November 1775. from the following circumstance. We quarters at the Colleges in Cambridge. On Thanksgiving day I was sick with the Mumps and unable to do any duty. The first time after this illness that I did any duty was the week following Thanksgiving.

When I and others were ordered on fatigue duty in throwing up a breastwork on Cobble Hill Charlestown, since called Barnell's Hill, and said Merrill was of our number on this duty. I distinctly recollect this, from a joke that General Putnam, who superintended the works, put upon said Merrill about his nice preparations to eat his dinner which caused me never to forget it. Question. Do you know whether said Merrill was at either the Battle of Concord and Lexington on the 19th of April 1775, or at the Battle of Bunkerhill on the 17th of June following? Answer. I have a strong impression on my mind that he was at both of them, but cannot swear positively. Further your deponent saith not. Witness, Abel Whitney Giles H. Whitney Jonathan Beard
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Worcester ss. On this sixteenth Day of October in the Year of our Lord One thousand Eight hundred and thirty eight, the aforesaid Deponent personally appeared before me, the Subscriber, a Justice of the Peace within and for the County of Worcester and Commonwealth aforesaid, and was examined and cautioned and sworn according to Law, to the Deposition aforesaid, by him subscribed, taken at the request of the Widow and heirs of the above named David Merrill Junior, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the Act of Congress passed July 7th 1838.
Abel Whitney, Justice of the Peace.

I, the said Justice would further add, that I have long been acquainted with the aforesaid Deponent, that he sustains a most unexceptionable moral character both as a man and a Christian and that he retains his mental powers to an uncommon degree, for one of his advanced age.
