Rev. of Pension Newbury

1 I, Joseph Noyes of Haverhill in the County of Essex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Gentleman, do hereby certify and declare, that I served in the Army of the United States of America in the war of the Revolution, and on the Continental Establishment, nearly seven years. I first served as a Minute man and as a private soldier in Capt. Rogers Company, in Colonel Samuel Gerrish's Regiment, in which Company I served eight months. Afterwards, in 1776, I enlisted in Col. Badlam's Company, in Colonel Scammon's Detached Regiment, and in General Glazier's Brigade, and General Heath's division, in which I served as a sergeant one year. After which, I was appointed a Lieutenant, and received a Commission in Captain Samuel Coombs Company, Colonel James Wesson's Regiment, in which I served, nearly five years, and there remained under pay as a recruiting Officer until the close of the war.
My Commission, by some means or other, has been lost, and I have not been able to find it for several years. My house was burnt, a number of years since, and all my papers, excepting my commission, which I think was not lost, at that time, but afterwards.

JOSEPH NOYES S. 33165 BA-J/MLB
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Joseph Noyes and Joel Whitney who served from Massachusetts, and of Abraham Reiss, of Pennsylvania.
Because of the large number of requests for Revolutionary War data, and the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such information, it is impossible to comply in full with each request which requires so much time and research. The record of Joseph Noyes is furnished you herein as found in the papers on file in pension claim, S. 33165, based upon service in the Revolutionary War and upon disability incurred during that service.
The date and place of birth and names of the parents of Joseph Noyes are not shown.

He entered the service early in 1776, served as sergeant in Captain Badlam's company, Colonel Loammi Baldwin's Massachusetts regiment; after serving one year was commissioned Lieutenant in Captain Samuel Carr's company, Colonel James Wesson's Massachusetts regiment and was discharged in 1783 when peace was declared. He stated that he served in all nearly seven years.
On account of disability incurred during his service in the Revolutionary War, Joseph Noyes was pensioned from January 28, 1809, while a resident of Essex County, Massachusetts. He applied April 1, 1818, for pension based upon his service in the Revolution, at which time he relinquished his invalid pension for the benefits of the Act of March 18, 1818. At that time he was aged seventy-three years and living in Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts. The claim was allowed. In 1820 he was still a resident of Newbury, Massachusetts. He died June 28, 1824.

No family data are shown in the claim.
In order to obtain date of last payment of pension and name of the person paid, you should write to the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data: Joseph Noyes, certificate #11740, issued June 9, 1819, rate $20 per month, commenced April 1, 1818, Act 18th of March, 1818, Massachusetts Agency.

Hon. William W. Wilson,
House of Representatives.
My dear Mr. Wilson:
In response to your letter dated the 16th instant, received yesterday, requesting to be advised as to whether or not there is any back pay, travel pay, pension or other emoluments due Joseph Noyes and Thomas Swan for service in the War of the Revolution and Frederick Swan for service in the War of 1812, and as to any bounty land granted to either  any one of said soldiers, your request being made at the instance of Mr. E. Swan Worth, 3717 West 62nd Place, Chicago, Illinois, whose letters and that of the Adjutant General are herewith returned, I have the honor to inform you that the matter of back pay and travel pay is under the jurisdiction of the Auditor for the War Department.
It is shown by the records of this Bureau that one Joseph Noyes, Lieutenant and Captain in Col. Wes-son's Regiment, Massachusetts Militia, Revolutionary War, was a pensioner on account of said service, and that

Hon. William W. Wilson--2.
Frederick Swan, private, Captain M. R. Magruder's Co., D. C. Militia, War of 1812, received a bounty land warrant, No. 9911, for 160 acres, under the act of March 3, 1855, in full satisfaction for his service.
There is no record of any claim for pension or bounty land under the name of Thomas Swan based on service in the Revolutionary War.
There is no provision of law extending a pensionable status to Mrs. Worth, either on account of the service of her grandfather in the Revolutionary War or of her father in the War of 1812, nor title to bounty land on account of the service of the former, and as her father received bounty land in full satisfaction for his service, she has no title to any additional issue.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.
