He does not recollect the names of the other officers in the Compa- ny; - the Colonel's name was Waton. That he entered into actual service, in the Revolutionary war, in said company on the 19th of April 1775 - The company march- ed from Franklin, then Hrentham, to Roxbury - and the enemy being expected, the soldiers were ordered to load and be prepared for action. The said company in which he was a soldier - continued at and about Roxbury till the day of the battle of Bunker Hill Bunker Hill - on that day after the battle was commenced, they were commanded a march to Cambridge  Bunker Hill - where they arrived on the evening of the same day; - they continued there two days - thence marched back to Roxbury; - and after a few days were ordered to Dorchester neck where they remained till the last of July or the first of August - then had orders to go

commenced were two days - thence marched to Roxbury; - and after a few days were ordered to Dorchester neck, where they remained till the last of July or the first of August; - then had orders to go to Cambridge fort No. 2. - and remained at and in the vicinity of Cambridge till the next Jan. and the time for which the soldiers had been enlisted, hav- ing expired, they were released and returned home. He has not and never had any written discharge. At this time he was in the service of the Revolutionary war eight months; - and for proof of the correctness of his statement he refers to the first part of the affidavit of Deacon Abijah Hearnes which is herewith submitted.
In the Spring of 1776 - he enlisted for seven months in the company commanded by Capt. Aaron Gile of Dedham Mass; - Then Lieut. of Franklin of which was Lieutenant, and Timothy Mooreman Ensign. Among the superior officers were Col. Whit- ney and Adjutant Hovey. Marched from Frank- lin to Boston; - staid there a few weeks; - then
A regiment was ordered to Nantasket; - to drive off the British vessels that then laid in Nantasket Road so called - at the head of Long Island. The British vessels of war were accordingly driven off; and the regiment took several vessels laden with provisions. The regiment remained there till December - the time expired for which he enlisted; - and he was discharged and returned home to Franklin. For proof of this seven months' service he refers to the affidavits of Deacon Abijah Hovey.

his regiment remained there till the time the time expired for which he enlisted; - and he was discharged and returned home to Franklin. For proof of this seven months' service he refers to the affidavits of Lieut. Abijah Haws, and Mr. Jason Ware which are herewith submitted.
• In 1777 - May - he enlisted for two months in the company commanded by Capt. Samuel Fisher of Wren- tham aforesaid, for the purpose of guarding Rhode Island. Marched from Franklin to Providence - thence to East Greenwich. He remained at the last mentioned place till the time for which he enlisted had expired; at which time he was sick of the small pox in the hospital. He is unable to offer any proof - besides his own declaration, of this service of two months - not knowing where there is any one living, who was in said company with him.
• In 1778 - some time in June - he enlisted for six months in the company commanded by Capt. Haskins - as the name was pronounced. He does not know how it was spelt - he believes the Capt. was from Quincy - joined the regiment at Providence; - thence marched to Diviston in the state of Rhode Island; - next day went on to the Island on which Newport is sit- uated. The British retreated about nine miles into the town of Newport. Staid there about two weeks when Gen. Sullivan made preparations to lay siege to the town; he formed in three divisions & marched
in this order about eight or nine miles to the town. They besieged the town about a fortnight - when the French fleet arrived being about at Boston. and the British coming in, they were obliged to re-

in this order about eight or nine miles to the town. They besieged the town about a fortnight - when, the French fleet were obliged being about at Boston, and the British coming in, they were obliged to retreat. They retreated in the night to the other end of the Island - The British & Hessians pursued & the next day in the forenoon a battle was commenced - which was fought without interruption for five or six hours. The next night they retreated from the Island. The regiment was sent to Little  East Compton; thence to Fredericton to winter quarters - staid there till the six months had expired which was about the middle or latter part of December - and the said Mitchell was then dismissed; & again went home.
In 1779 - he enlisted for six months in the Company commanded by Capt. Havel of Boston Mass. in Col. Dyer's regiment; - marched to Pownal & joined the regiment; - was engaged in making cartridge boxes for some time - and then went to Little - Compton  Little - Barrington (pronounced) - in Rhode Island - and was there employed with six or eight others in making shoes for the soldiers, till the six months had expired.
In 1780 - he enlisted for three months in Capt. Nathan Thayer of Medway - Samuel Mitchell of Franklin aforesaid was Lieutenant; - marched to Springfield - thence to Great Barrington Mass. staid there about a fortnight; - thence marched for Hudson River - West Point. Staid there a few days - and then

of Franklin of course was Sentinon; - marched to Springfield - thence to Great Barrington Mass. staid there about a fortnight; - thence marched for Hudson River - West Point. staid there a few days - and then was sent with others about ten miles to guard prisoners at Fishkill so called. At this time the exposures to which he was subjected a heat and
and cold produced an inflammation in one of his eyes, which deprived him of the use of it; and with the  the in time from that time, the sight of his other eye failed him, in consequence of his exposure in this campaign, as he believes, and it has now been more than forty years since he has seen any human being. He is unable to produce any evidence of his services in the Revolutionary war of course besides his own declaration and the affidavits herewith submitted.
After the expiration of the last term of service he returned to Franklin; where he remained till 1821 - excepting three years in which he lived in Medway. In 1821 he removed to Appleton in the County of Waldo & State of Maine - where he has lived ever ever since. He refers to Doct. Elisha Harding and Nathaniel Robbins Esq of Union, who now live about six seven miles from him; and who have for a long time been acquainted with him; and who can state their opinion of the ac- curacy & trust of his declaration - and his reputa- tion as a soldier of the Revolution. And so the said Metcalfe says that he was in the service of the Rev- olutionary war for six several terms amounting to two years and eight months

He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State

REGULATIONS UNDER THE ACT OF JUNE 7, 1832.
The following regulations have been adopted:
This law has been construed to extend, as well to the line, as to every branch of the Staff of the Army, and to include under the terms "Continental Line," "State troops," "militia," and "volunteers," all persons enlisted, drafted, or who volunteered and who were bound to military service, but not those who were occasionally employed with the army upon civil contracts, such as Clerks to Commissaries and to Store Keepers, &c. Teamsters, Boatmen, &c. Persons who served on board of Private Armed Vessels are also excluded from the benefits of the law, as well as persons who turned out as patrols, or were engaged in guarding particular places at night, and were not recognized as being in actual military service.
Four general classes of cases are embraced in this law:
 1. The Regular Troops.  2. The State Troops, Militia, and Volunteers.  3. Persons employed in the Naval service.  4. Indian Spies. 
As rolls of the regular troops in the Revolutionary War exist in this Department, all persons, claiming the benefit of this law as officers, non-commissioned officers, musicians or privates, will in the first instance, make application by transmitting the following declaration, which will be made before a Court of Record of the County where such applicant resides. And every Court having by law a seal and Clerk is considered a Court of Record.

[This form is to be varied so as to apply to the cases of officers and persons who belonged to the militia, volunteers, navy, &c.]
He hereby relinquishes every claim (f) whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any Agency in any State, or (if any) only on that of the Agency in the State of _____
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
A. B.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion (g) that the above named applicant was a revolutionary soldier, and served as he states.
I _____ of the Court of _____ do hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of the application of _____ for a pension.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this _____ day of _____ &c.
If, on examination of the proper record the names of applicants, making such declaration, cannot be found, they will produce such proof as the rule given in note (j) points out.
Every applicant who claims a pension by virtue of service in the State Troops, Volunteers or Militia, except those who belonged to the New Hampshire Militia and State Troops of Virginia, will make and subscribe a declaration similar to the foregoing, with the following additions, viz:
(k) We, A. B., a Clergyman, residing in the _____ and C. D. residing in (the same) _____ hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with _____, who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be _____ years of age; that he is reputed and believed, in the neighborhood where he resides, to have been a soldier of the Revolution, and that we concur in that opinion.
Sworn and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, that the above named applicant was a Revolutionary Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A. B. who has signed the preceding certificate, is a clergyman, resident in the _____ and that C. D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the _____ and is a credible person, and that their statement is entitled to credit.
I, _____ Clerk of the Court of _____ do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the application of _____ for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office, this _____ day of _____ &c.
Every applicant will produce the best proof in his power. This is the original discharge or commission; but if neither of these can be obtained, the party will so state under oath, and will then procure, if possible, the testimony of at least one credible witness, stating in detail his personal knowledge of the services of the applicant, and such circumstances connected therewith, as may have a tendency to throw light upon the transaction.
If such surviving witness cannot be found, the applicant will so state in his declaration (l) and he will also, whether he produce such evidence or not, proceed to relate all the material facts, which can be useful in the investigation of his claim, and in the comparison of his narrative with the events of the period of his alleged service, as they are known at the Department. A very full account of the services of each person

will be indispensable to a favorable action upon his case. The facts stated will afford one of the principal means of corroborating the declaration of the applicant, if true, or of detecting the imposition, if one be attempted; and unless, therefore, these are amply and clearly set forth, no favorable decision can be expected. All applicants will appear before some Court of Record in the County, in which they reside, and there subscribe and be sworn to, one of the declarations above provided, according to the nature of his case.
The Court will propound the following (m) interrogatories to all applicants for a pension, on account of service in the Militia, State troops, or Volunteers, except the Militia of New Hampshire and the State troops of Virginia.
 1. Where and in what year were you born?  2. Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?  3. Where were you living when called into service; where have you lived since the Revolutionary war, and where do you now live?  4. How were you called into service; were you drafted, did you volunteer, or were you a substitute? And if a substitute, for whom?  5. State the names of some of the Regular Officers, who were with the troops, where you served; such Continental and Militia Regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your services.  6. { To a Soldier. } Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it given and what has become of it? { To an Officer. } Did you ever receive a commission, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what has become of it? 
7. State the names of persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood, and who can testify as to your character for veracity, and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution.
The Court will see that he answers to these questions are embodied in the declaration, and they are requested to annex their opinions of the truth of the statement of the applicant.
The applicant will further produce in Court, if the same can be done, in the opinion of the Court, without too much expense and inconvenience to him, two respectable persons -one of whom should be the nearest clergyman, if one lives in the immediate vicinity of such applicant, who can testify, from their acquaintance with him, that they believe he is of the age he represents, and that he is reputed and believed in the neighborhood to have been a Revolutionary soldier, and that they concur in that opinion. If one of these persons is a Clergyman, the Court will so certify, and they will also certify, to the character and standing of other persons, giving such certificates.
The traditional evidence of service is deemed very important, in the absence of any direct proof, except the declaration of the party. And the Courts are requested to be very particular in the enquiry whether the belief is general, and whether any doubts have ever existed upon the subject.
Applicants unable to appear in Court by reason of bodily infirmity, may make the declaration before required, and submit to the examination, before a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record of the proper county, and the Judge or Justice will execute the duties, which the Court is herein requested to perform, and will also certify that the applicant cannot, from bodily infirmity, attend the Court.
Whenever any official act is required to be done by a Judge or Justice of the peace, the certificate of the Secretary of State or Territory, or of the proper Clerk of the Court or County, under his seal of office, will be annexed, stating that such person is a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or a Justice of the Peace, and that the signature annexed is his genuine signature.
No payments can be made on account of the services of any person, who may have died before the taking effect of the act of June 7, 1832; and in case of death subsequent thereto, and before the declaration herein required is made, the parties interested will transmit such evidence as they can procure, taken and authenticated before a Court of Record, showing the services of the deceased, the period of his death, the opinion of the neighborhood respecting such services, the title of the claimant, and the opinion of the Court upon the whole matter.
[a] The declarant must appear in open Court, unless prevented from doing so by reason of bodily infirmity; in which case the declarant will follow the rule laid down for his guidance.
[b] The declarant must make his declaration in the county where he resides. If he should fail to do so, he must assign a sufficient reason for not conforming to the rule.
[c] The age of the claimant must invariably be mentioned.
[d] The declarant must mention the period or periods of the war when he served.
[e] Every continental officer or soldier must give the name of the Colonel under whom he served; otherwise a satisfactory examination of the claim cannot be had. Every claimant must state, with precision, the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the Department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service; but, according to the best of his recollection, he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades:—For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."
It is important, in all cases, to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about  three or four months , is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state that they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours, the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must, in every case, be clearly shown under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
[f] The law makes the relinquishment indispensable.
[g] The opinion of the Court is always required.
[h] The Clerk must give his certificate in every case.
[i] The Clerk must affix his seal, and if it has no device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal, or if he has no public seal of office, the certificate of a Member of Congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other papers authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
Proof of Service.
[j] In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimant's entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
[k] The notes from [a] to [e] are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops. The proof required by rule in note [j] applies to continental troops only.
[l] This traditional evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
[t] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
[m] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

Dear Sir - I herewith return the application of Titus Mowatt with the other papers - the objection named in your brief I believe is now entirely obviated. I did not think it important to send the affidavits to the Clerk of Lincoln County again - as I believe they are already authenticated as the rules of the Department require - the Clerk having certified on the same piece of paper as well as on a separate one.
You will confer a particular favor by transmitting the certificate of pension - if granted - as soon as practicable - directing it to me at Union Lincoln County - Maine -

Sir,
In the case of Mrs Rebecca Metcalf, who claims a pension as the widow of Titus Metcalf, a revolutionary pensioner, record evidence of her marriage is required before a certificate can issue, if any exist, if not that fact must be satisfactorily shown. The witness whose affidavit is filed and who swears he married them, is not shown to have been a Magistrate at the time, nor is his credibility certified. Additional evidence is also required identifying the claimant in this case as the present widow of the pensioner named in her declaration, and as the same person who, in the name of Rebecca Mungent is alleged to have been married to Titus Metcalf, on the 20 th December 1835,
