That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated.
He declares that he enlisted into Capt. Thomas Allen's company, in Col. Greene's Regiment of the state line, early in May 1777, at said Barrington , which company had been previously partly raised for a service of fifteen months, and served there until the 16 th of March 1778, when the time of his enlistment expired as did also the term for which the Regiment had been enlisted, when the declarant was discharged at Bristol, where he had been stationed a considerable part of the term of his enlistment, General Cornell had the command of the army here a part of this time and General Spencer a part of the time - Lawless was lieutenant of Thomas Allen's company and Nathaniel Humphrey was second lieutenant or ensign and John Stephens lieutenant colonel of Greene's Regiment - And the Declarant further avers, that as soon as he was discharged from this service he returned home to Barrington , he there entered the company of militia of Capt. Isaac Allen then in the public service, stationed at Nayatt Point partly and partly at Rumstick Point , both on the shores of Narragansett Bay in Barrington and there served until sometime in November 1779, doing duty as a private soldier half said period by turns, serving at one of these posts for a week or more and then relieved for an equal length of time with his detachment or half of said company, and drawing pay and rations for the same portion of said period - While in this service he was detached with said Capt. Isaac Allen with half said company and marched to Rhode Island to aid the main army there under General Sullivan and was there a part of July & August 1778 and while there this company he thinks was attached to the Regiment commanded by Col.

Dear Sir:
Mrs. Clarissa Smith widow over 90 years of age is a daughter of a Revolutionary soldier Joel Peck of this Town. Is a member of the Bristol Chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution, and recognized by them as an original daughter. Is she not entitled to a pension?
She is a woman of small means, whose health is failing. If she is entitled to a pension, it would add to her comfort and pleasure in these closing days of her long life. If she is entitled to a pension will you kindly inform me what steps are necessary to secure it for her. At the longest she will not be a burden many years on the Nation.
Very respectfully yours,

In reply to your inquiry of August 31, 1904, you are informed that there is no law under which the daughter of a Revolutionary soldier can be pensioned. Such daughters of Revolutionary soldiers as have been pensioned in recent years have been placed on the rolls by special act of Congress in each instance. There is no general law applicable to this class of cases.
Very respectfully,
