Madam:
In reply to your letter of the 22 nd instant, you are advised that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 7062, it appears that Zebediah Ninard was born in Montville, New London Co. Conn., date not stated, and he was living there during the Revolution. He stated that he went to Roxbury as a volunteer and there enlisted in May or June 1775, as a private, in Capt. William Coit's Co., Col. Samuel H. Parsons' Regt. served seven months and immediately re-enlisted in Capt. Christopher Darrow's Co., Col. Samuel H. Parsons' Regt. and served one year and that soon after this he again enlisted in Capt. Christopher Darrow's Co., Col. Jedidiah Huntington's Regt. in which he served until the summer of 1780 when he broke his leg while at home on a furlough, that Dr. Philip Turner of the Army at Norwich gave him a certificate stating that he was disqualified for military duty, which he presented to Gen. Jedidiah Huntington who discharged him on Jan. 19, 1781. He was at the battles of Bunker Hill, Flatbush and Monmouth.
He was allowed pension on his application executed Mar. 25, 1818, at which time he was about sixty years old and resided at Montville, Conn., where he died.
Soldier married in May 1783 Anne or Anna Atwell and their children were: Lucretia widow of Amasa Bush, Mary Ann wife of Daniel Wilber, Elmira or Almira born about 1807, wife of Henry H. Shepard, Lydia wife of Roswell Chapell or Chappell, Jemima wife of Ralph Hibbard or Hebard, Martha wife of Chauncey Chapman, Zebediah born about 1805, George, and Francis who signed as Maynard and was fifty-five years old in 1846 when he applied for pension on behalf of the above noted heirs of soldier. Which claim was rejected on the ground that the records showed that soldier had deserted the service on August 1, 1780 and that his pension had been improperly allowed.
Francis Maynard and Mary Ann Wilber stated in 1846 that their father died July, 29, 1825 and that their mother died Nov. 30, 1840 but in 1855 Francis furnished a certified copy of a family record which stated that their father died July 29, 1824 and their mother died Dec. 1, 1837.
Very respectfully,

To the Honourable the Secretary for the Department of War.
The Memorial of the Subscribers inhabitants of the Town of Montville would respectfully represent:
That Zebediah Minard was born in said Town of Montville, & with the exception of his term of service in the Revolutionary War, has been a settled inhabitant therein.
In consequence of his reduced circumstances as he greatly needs and, in our opinion, is eminently deserving the provision contemplated by a late act of Congress for the relief of the war worn Soldiers of the Revolution who now, in his old age, has become poor and destitute.
Zebediah Minard has uniformly, without any exception, sustained the character of an honest man & good citizen; and, though entirely destitute of property, we cannot but esteem him rich in his integrity. He is a man of strict truth & probity; and to any statement he may make, particularly under the solemnity of an oath, full faith & credit are thought to be given.
In testimony of which we have hereunto affixed our names at Montville in the County of New London in the State of Connecticut, in the month of February in the year 1819.

I, Deborah Skinner of the Town of Montville in New London County & State of Connecticut, of lawful age, do depose & say - That in the month of May or June in the year 1775, I enlisted at Roxbury, whither I had gone as a volunteer, for seven months as a private soldier in Capt. Dion Coit's Company in Col. Saml. H. Parsons Regt. Immediately after the expiration of these seven months, I enlisted again at Roxbury as a private soldier in Capt. Christopher Darrow's Company of Colonel Saml. H. Parsons Regt. for the term of one year. Soon after the expiration of this term, I again enlisted in the same company for the period of the war. I continued in this company in the Connecticut Line on the continental establishment until the month of July or August   in the year 1780, when I was ordered as one of the Guard to escort the baggage of General Ebediah Huntington from Redding to Norwich in the State of Connecticut. After the Guard arrived at Norwich, they were all, consisting of a Corporal six men, furloughed for thirty five days. On this furlough I returned home where I had remained but a few days when I had the misfortune to break my leg in so severe a manner as to render it absolutely impracticable for me to return to camp. I however procured a conveyance to Norwich where I saw Doctor Philip Turner of the Army, to whom I showed my broken leg, & who thereupon gave me a certificate that I was wholly disqualified for military duty. On the strength of this certificate which I presented to General Ebediah Huntington,

he gave me an honourable discharge from the Army, as nearly as I can recollect, on the 19 th day of January in the year 1781.
The entire period of my service in the War of the Revolution on the Connecticut Line on the Continental Establishment, was more than five years. My certificates from the Surgeon General of disability, & my discharge from the Army by the General aforesaid, are lost or destroyed by time or accident, so that it is not in my power to produce them.
I was born in the County of New London & State of Connecticut in which, before & since the Revolutionary War, I have steadily resided.
In consequence of my reduced circumstances I extremely need the assistance of my country for support, being entirely destitute, without friends able to assist me, or any other resource whatsoever, save the justice & humanity of my country.
To help me God.

I am knowing to the enlistment of said Deborah Minard into said service at three several times: viz once for the period of seven months, once for the period of twelve months, once for the period of three years or for that of the war I cannot positively & distinctly say which.

Said Minard always sustained the character of a good soldier - was ever prompt & faithful to do his duty, as far as ever came to my knowledge. New London Connecticut February 10 th A.D. 1879.

Washington, Aug. 4 th 1852
Sir:
I am requested by M ch l Pease Esq. to ask a reexamination of the claim of Anna Maynard, widow of Zedediah Maynard dec d for Pension under the Act of 7 th July 1838. Connecticut suspended list.
Her husband received a pension in his life-time, but when the claim of the widow was presented, it was disallowed on the ground that her husband was a deserter. A letter from the Pension Office of October 24 th 1846, states that the fact that her husband was a deserter was not discovered until after his death.
Mr. Pease is under the impression that this charge was brought against Mr. Maynard in his life-time, and that he furnished evidence clearing it up to the satisfaction of the Pension Office.
No notice is taken of any such evidence in the letter of Oct. 24 th 1846, above mentioned. If any such evidence is in fact on file, it was probably overlooked at the time said letter was written - and the widow, or her children, should now have the benefit of it.
I am very respectfully Your obed Servt

Washington City D.C. December, 11 th 1831 Honorable J. E. Heath Sir. Commissioner of Pensions
I respectfully ask a consideration of the case of Anna Maynard, - the widow of Zebediah, who was a revolutionary pensioner under the act 1818, struck off 1819 & reinstated as will appear by letter dated 19 September 1820 sent to G. H. Richards. New London Ct. From the proof on file it appears that said Zebediah served faithfully during the Revolutionary War. Seven Months in Captain William Coits Company Colonel Samuel H. Parsons Regiment was discharged at Roxbury. That he again enlisted for One Year at Roxbury under Captain Christopher Darrow Col Parsons & that he also faithfully performed this term of One Year; making 19 Months honorably performed service and Receipt of the consignment proper discharges. It also appears further from the papers on file as above stated, that the said Zebediah enlisted again for three years and that during this last service he obtained a furlough, & that while enjoying that furlough he had the misfortune to break his leg, which accident totally unfit him for further military service and in consequence thereof he was examined by an Army Surgeon & duly discharged by the proper officer whereas

whereas in this latter service it is averred on the part of the Department, that the rolls of Captain Darrens company show he was a deserter. but even were this admitted to be the case, (it is not very probable as he always remained in the same section of the country) your appli- cants, cannot understand by what law or equity a subsequent failure on his part could in any way militate against his rights and those of heirs touching his prior contracts or engage- ments with the Government, the conditions of which were on his part wholly & fully executed and performed & satisfactorily verified by the discharges granted him.
I am Sir

Sir, I send you the Declaration of Francis Minard or Maynard I find that the same family once pronounced the name Minard although they mostly pronounced the word Maynard at the day of examining the Military rolls at Hartford the name by different writers was spelt both ways & the Children tell me that their father gave an explanation of his services after he made his Declaration which you will find on file as I suppose in the War Department. Deborah Maynard Children think their father was in service after their parents were married although we have no certain means of knowing, & they think he enlisted G. H. & the Declaration would come under the act of 1836 that you have the means of knowing & if so Mr Maynard would on information make a Declaration under act of 36.

The papers in the Case of Anna Maynard widow of Frederick Maynard under the act of 7 July 1838 have been examined and filed with rejected Claims.
The records of the Continental Line in this Office shows that Mr Maynard's husband enlisted in the first Connecticut Regiment under Capt Darrow on the 18 th Feb y 1777 for the War and that he deserted the Service on 1 st August 1780, thereby forfeiting Claims to pay then due and to a pension for himself or his widow afterwards.
Frederick Maynard was improperly allowed a pension under the act of 1838 when it was not known, that reliable evidence to contradict his statement existed,

Mr. G. M. Saltzgaber, Dear sir,
In response to your letter to me dated May 1st and also your letter to Mr. E. L. Howard, Special Pension Examiner, of the same date, who wrote you concerning my request for information, I would say that I would request the Commissioner of Pensions or his representative to select the record of service of Ebenezer H ebbard, Survivor's File No. 15170, Rev. War, and furnish me with Photostat copy of same with authentication.
I would also like the record of Zebediah Maynard, born in 1760 at New London, North Parish, Conn., died July 29, 1825. He was granted a pension in 1819, for three years actual service in the Revolutionary War. He enlisted at Roxbury, Mass. If there is any family data on file in this claim, that would be of value to me.
Would you kindly let me know the cost of making copies of these papers, upon receipt of which I will send you check for same.
I thank you for the information furnished in your letter of May 1st.
Very truly yours,
