Mr Allen Dr Sir
I herewith send the extract from the town records which you desired. I have made diligent inquiries for the records of Wm Gorham Esq & have been unable to obtain them from any person in this town. I also wrote to Mr Genish of Portland who settled a considerable part of his business. In answer he says he is unable to find them in his possession & does not know where they are. If by any means I can obtain them I will send you the extract required. In the extract from the town records, you will observe the clerk has put down the birth of the children. This he said was usually required where the marriage could not be found. I thought at most it could do no harm & therefore had it put down.
Yours truly Chas Danforth
The dollar you sent has been sufficient to pay all bills so far

Pliny of the Massachusetts troops. This period I fully served out, and then Jan 7. 1. 1776 immediately reenlisted as a private into the same company, regiment, and service for the term of one year. This last period I also fully served out, and was verbally discharged from the army at Dorchester in January 1777 honorably.

Ebenezer Francis of the Massachusetts line. Under this last enlistment, I served until Dec r 30 th 1779, when I took my final and honorable discharge from the army as a Sergeant, at West Point. My discharge is not to my knowledge now in existence. I was appointed a sergeant May 1. 1779. My sergeant's warrant, the certificate upon which I obtained my discharge, and the certificate of Lieut Silas Chadbourne are herewith annexed. I was in both the battles at the taking of Burgoyne, and in the battle of Monmouth. From my reduced circumstances, I am in need of assistance from my country for support. And I do hereby relinquish all my claim to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the U. States, if any; but I am not to my knowledge borne on any pension list whatever. I request that I may be placed upon the pension list for the District of Maine. South, Nathaniel Lumbord
