Strabford County p. 3
On this sixteenth day of August in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred & thirty two, personally appeared in open Court before Hon. Daniel C. Atkinson Judge of Probate in & for said County, at a Court duly holden by him at Sanbornton Bridge in & for said County. Nathaniel Morrill of Sanbornton in said County of Strabford, aged seventy years if living next November, who being first duly sworn according to Law, doth on his oath make the following declara- tion in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832 That I was born at Hawke in the County of Rockingham now in the State of New Hampshire on the first day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and sixty two.

agreeably to a record of my age left to me by my Father in his bible, and resided there untill the war commenced and during the Revolutionary war - Except when on actual duty - I enlisted for the first time into a company of Militia, in the year of our Lord 1779 - ordered out by the State for the defence of Portsmouth, being a resident of said Hamble I enlisted in the month of August the precise day I don't recall into a company commanded by Nathan Brown then of Poplin in the County of Rockingham and State - I served two months when we were discharged being in October of the same year - I was stationed at Portsmouth in said State at what was called the sea war house on Governor's Island - The names of the other Officers in in my company were Walter Emerson Lieut. captain of Hampstead N.H. and Mr. Leach of

Chas. A. H. was Ensign and the name of the first sergeant was Darling - I enlisted & performed the aforesaid service, as a substitute for Joseph Lowell of Hawke. I received my pay from the Town of Hawke for my services. I don't recollect of any soldier, who is now alive, who performed service with me or of any person who knows that I did fair service. I never had any written discharge, nor have I any docu- mentary testimony of any kind, that will illustrate the part of my case I have resided in Sanbornton in the County of Strafford for many years past. Said Brown was the highest in command at Portsmouth. On the and then  fourth  the only  fourth day of July in the Year of our Lord 1780 I again enlisted into the service of my Country & served therein faithfully.

for the term of six Months, Oliver Dill, a resident of Hawke I joined the Third New Hampshire Regiment of the Conti- nental Troops, commanded by Col. Alex- ander Scamwell; the Station at West point - Henry Dearborn was our Lt. Col. and I think a major by the name of Harvey was our Major - Boynton our Adjutant - My captain's name was Purri- -man - After being stationed at West point for a short time, we marched under Gen La Fayette down the river to Kings ferry, and then passed the Hudson River into New Jersey, and remained at Hackensack, and in that region, until after Maj Andre was taken & executed when we again marched to the neighborhood of West point, on the

opposite side of the river, and then we quartered at a place called New Hampshire Village in New York State , where on one of the last days of December I was discharged, as will appear from the original
discharge now in in my possession and which is herunto annexed, and a copy of which is here exhibi- ted in words and figures following viz. "Nathaniel Morrill of Hawk in the in the State of N. Hampshire & a Soldier in the 3 d N. Hampshire Regiment enlisted for six Months from the forth of July last has faithfully served as a Soldier, and agreeably to genl. orders is discharged the Service, and has liberty to return to said State
"N. Hampshire Signed H. Dearborn Lt. Colo." Village - Decem ber 21

On which discharge is the following endorsement, as near as I can ascertain it verbatim. "All issuing Comrs. are directed to deliver provision to the within Nathaniel Morrill till the 29 instant H. Dearborn St. Col."
I know of no record of my age other than the one referred to in my preceding statement - I know of no Surrogate Soldier, who served with me, nor have I any evidence besides the discharge afore- said, except that of the clergyman in my vicinity Eliza Bangs in Cawley etc.
I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension, or annuity except the present, and declare, that my name is not on the Pension Roll of the Agency of any State

BA-J/EEL Nathaniel Morrill-W.9210
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Dirk Hagadorn, born 1733, wife Rebecca Great; and Nathaniel Morrill, born 1762, died 1844, wife, Elizabeth or Sally.
There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon the military service in the Revolutionary War of a Dirk Hagadorn under any spelling of the surname.
It is suggested that as a possible means of obtaining information in regard to the military service of that soldier, you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, this city, who is custodian of military records.
The record of Nathaniel Morrill is furnished you herein, the data for which were obtained from the papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, W.9210, based upon the military service in that war of said Nathaniel Morrill.
Nathaniel Morrill was born November 1, 1762, at Hawks' Rockingham County, New Hampshire. The names of his parents are not shown.
While residing in said Hawks, Nathaniel Morrill enlisted in August, 1779, for the defence of Portsmouth, served as a private in Captain Nathan Brown's New Hampshire Company, and was stationed on Governor's Island at what was called the "Red warehouse"; length of service, two months. He enlisted July 4, 1780, served as a private in Captain Penniman's Company, Colonel Alexander Scamell's 3 d New Hampshire Regiment, and was discharged late in December, 1780, having served six months, discharge signed by H. Dearborn, Lieutenant Colonel.
Identified all officers

Nathaniel Merrill was allowed pension on his application executed August 16, 1832, while residing in Sanbornton, Strafford County, New Hampshire.
He died at said Sanbornton, January 20, 1844, as shown on an official paper in the claim for pension of February 22, 1844, as stated by his widow.
The soldier married May 26, 1842, in Franklin, New Hampshire, Miss Sally Flanders, date and place of her birth and names of her parents not shown. He was then of Sanbornton and she of Meredith, New Hampshire. There is no reference to a former marriage of the soldier, and no reference was made to children.
Soldier's widow, Sally, was allowed pension on her application executed May 14, 1855, at which time she was aged sixty-four years and resided in Sanbornton, New Hampshire.
On same date, Sally Merrill applied for the bounty land which was due on account of the service of her husband, Nathaniel Merrill, in the Revolutionary War. She was granted one hundred sixty acres of bounty land on Warrant No. 28544, under the Act of March 3, 1855.
In order to obtain information in regard to the location of the land cited above, you should address The Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, and furnish that official the number of the warrant, the acreage and the act under which said warrant was issued.
In order to obtain information in regard to the last payment of pension, the name and address of person paid and possibly the date of death of the Revolutionary War pensioner, Sally Merrill, widow of Nathaniel Merrill (W. 9210), you should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:

Commissioner of Pensions Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir...
Your esteemed reply to my request for a statement of the military service of my great-grandfather, Nathaniel Morrill, is at hand.
It appears that you have given me a statement of another Nathaniel Morrill, also of N.H.
The one to whom I refer was born Nov. 1, 1762 in Hawke, (now Danville) N.H. Served in the Rev. War while quite young which fact is noted in a town history. He married Elizabeth Eastman in June, 1783, and came to Sanbornton, N.H. in 1801-2, where he settled and remained until his death and was there buried. His first wife died in 1841, and he married Mrs. Sally (Johnson) Flanders May 24, 1842. He died Jan 20, 1844.
His widow drew a pension and

possibly he did before his death.
I have found from a history that Major William Scott of Exeter, N.H., mentions, June 22, 1780, among his recruits one, Nathaniel Morrill of Kennebec county of Pockinham, N.H., aged 18. Eighteen deducted from the date when the recruit was mentioned would give the date of the birth of my great-grandfather. Hence this fact would seem to establish his identity in a measure.
Few days later, July 2, 1780, Capt. Josiah Bartlett reports Nathaniel Morrill of Kennebec mustered at Kingston, N.H. by him, from July 2, 1780 to Dec. 1780.
This Josiah Bartlett was the second to sign the Declaration of Independence and the first Gov. of N.H. under its first constitution. He was at one time a Colonel in the Rev. Army.
Born 1729, died 1795.
Perhaps with the additional data you may be able to locate the right

man.
I herewith return the statement sent by you which may be of use for reference. I would esteem it a favor if it were returned to me.
Thanking you for the investigation thus far, I am.
Yours truly,
Robert W. Wright.
