You will perceive that Nathaniel Peck's Statement of Service is sustained so far as the Public records afford proof at all. There are no rolls of Captain Farber's company for Service in 1781 on file in which case the applicant must depend upon the proofs originally filed in your Office.

Sir: I herewith enclose you a declaration of Widow Peck in order to obtain an Increase of Pension under the act of July 1st, 1848. The widow is now a Pensioner of $20 per year, but her husband Nathaniel Peck was also a Pensioner of (as she thinks) $32 per year under the act of June 7, 1832, consequently under that Resolution she is entitled to an Increase of Pension with the arrears.
Her husband died on the 25th day of June 1839, and under the Resolution of 23rd Janry. 1845, she is entitled to the amount of pay from March 4th, 1836. In her

application for pension she only received $20. per annum from the time of her husband's death and she therefore applies for the sum to which she is entitled under the Resolution of 1846, not having received the benefits of that Resolution.

NATHANIEL PECK W. 18749 BA-J/MLB Am
My dear Senator:
Reference is made to your letter of June 13, in behalf of L. Z. Peck, 1415 N. W. Third Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, whose letter you enclosed. Mr. Peck requests to know whether or not Elijah Peck, born September 3, 1761, Joel Peck, born March 4, 1764, and Nathaniel Peck, born July 5, 1734, received pension from the United States based upon service in the Revolutionary War. He states, further, that this family moved from Newtown, Connecticut, to a place about fifteen miles from Montpelier, Vermont, probably near Hinesburg in that state.
There is no claim for pension on file based upon service of an Elijah Peck in the Revolutionary War, nor for service of the Joel and Nathaniel cited above. The record follows of a Nathaniel Peck who resided at one time in Vermont, which may aid Mr. Peck in his research. The data are found in the claims for pension based upon his service in the Revolutionary War. Those claims are on file under W. 18749.
Nathaniel Peck was born August 6, 1761, in the Town of Barrington, Bristol County, Rhode Island, where he lived until ten years of age, then moved with his parents to Amherst, Hampshire County, Massachusetts. The names of his parents were not given.
While residing in Amherst, Massachusetts, Nathaniel Peck enlisted in July or August, 1779, acted as quartermaster sergeant under Colonel Porter in the Massachusetts troops one month; volunteered in July, 1780, and served three months as private in Captains Eli Parker's and Alvord's companies, Colonel Murray's Massachusetts regiment. He served three months from June or July, 1781, as minuteman in Captain Eli Parker's company.
