Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Secretary's Office, July 9 th 1834.
I hereby Certify, That, from an examination of the Books and Documents, relating to Military Services in the War of the Revolution, which remain in this Department, it appears that the name of John "Pettee" is borne on "a roll for the travel of Capt. Timothy Eaton's company, in Col. Edward Wigglesworth's Regt. 1776," where he is allowed two hundred and twenty Miles travel.
John Pattee claims for six Months services under Capt. Timothy Eaton, stationed at Ticonderoga, in 1776, - but the roll he describes is not found in this Office, except the above mentioned, on the back of which, is, "Capt Eaton's Milage roll from Ticonderoga, in Col. Wigglesworth's Regt."

He was born in Greenhill aforesaid in the year in the year 1753, where there

is a record of his age if any other. He entered the service as a volunteer. Since the revolutionary war he has resided in said Brattlehill ten or fifteen years and in New Salem, Brookfield and Ruggles Remont and New Stoneham the rest of the time. He has no documentary evidence except the certificate of the secre- tary of state of Massachusetts and does not know of any testimony which he could produce to the fact of the service of which He resides so far from the place of holding court and in a foreign Government is the reason he cannot without burden some expense procure the attendance of a Chuzymon.
