Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W.17145, it appears that Samuel  Millington was born, October 5, 1743, in Bolton, Connecticut.
He enlisted, early in the Revolution, and served four months in the Connecticut Militia, no officers stated.
He enlisted in 1777, and served three years as a private in Captain Amos Walbridge's Company, Colonels Charles Webb's and Isaac Sherman's Connecticut Regiment and was at the taking of Fort Montgomery and battles of White Marsh and Monmouth.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 4, 1818, at which time he was living at Johnsburgh, Warren County, New York. He died, July 8, 1826.
The soldier married, April 20, 1769, at Stafford, Connecticut, Christina or Chastina Thomas. She died,

September 26, 1836, in Warren County, New York, leaving the following children:
Samuel Millington, who died in July, 1848; Chastina, who was born, November 15, 1771 and married ----Smith; Polly Reilley; Sylvia Raymond; Ira Millington, all residing in Warren County, New York; Elizabeth Olmsted, who at one time resided in Pittsford, New York, but who died prior to 1848 in Ohio, and Mrs. Abi Harnden or Hammond residing in Canada West.
The above named children were allowed the pension due their mother.
The soldier's son, David Millington, died October 10, 1836, leaving a widow Charity; their son, Levi, testified in the case in 1847.
A granddaughter, Azubba Nobles, was thirteen years old in 1880.
The above noted Samuel Millington is the only soldier of that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.
Respectfully,
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner.

Dear Sir:
Can you tell me whether Samuel Millington's pension was paid to him or to his wife?
The Adjutant General of Vermont gives me his record as follows:
Samuel Millington served as private in Capt. Walbridge's Co. in the 2nd Regt. "Connecticut line" commanded by Col. Charles Webb. He enlisted Jan. 25, 1777 and was discharged Jan. 25, 1780. The Regt. was raised early in 1777 for the new army or "Continental line"; ordered to assemble at Hanbury in April preparatory to taking the field and soon after went into camp at Peekskill, served during the summer and fall of 1777 along the Hudson under Putnam; ordered Nov. 14, to join Washington's army at Pennsylvania, and on Dec. 8 engaged in sharp action at White Marsh when it lost a number of officers and men, killed and wounded. Wintered at Valley Forge, 1777-8 and present July 28 following, at battle of Monmouth. Assigned to Second Conn. Brigade, Huntington's, at Camp White Plains. Wintered, 1778-79, with the division at Redding. Served on East side of Hudson in Gen. Heath's wing during operations of '79.

The Adjutant General of Vermont says that the Revolutionary War records of Conn. says that he was a pensioner under the Act of 1818 and was residing in N. Y. State, town not given.
The Millington Family Records say that Samuel Millington died while the army was encamped at White Plains N.Y. of small pox or fever.
Therefore, I question whether or not this war record is my Samuel Millington. If you can tell me to whom his pension was paid it may help me verify the record.
My Samuel Millington was probably born in Shaftsbury Vt. Anyway he lived there, and married Phebe Beeman of Bennington whose family later moved to North Fairfax Vt. Samuel Millington's son Samuel lived in Lawrenceville, St. Lawrence Co. N.Y.
I hope your records are complete enough to help me straighten out these conflicting statements.
Yours very truly
(Mrs. D. H.)

Sir
I have the honor to inform you that the papers in support of the Claim to a pension upon the act of 7 July 1838 in the case of Hannah Curtis dec d Mrs of Solomon Curtis have been examined and filed.
The declaration in this case is signed by Wilson Gray, who states that he has "no interest whatever in the Claim" and that "he makes this Application at the request of the Agent" such a declaration is unprecedented and is not admissible. Mr Joy who drew it up and who is well acquainted with the rules of this Office, must have known it was highly unusual and improper to present such a paper  as a legal proof before we can take any further action in the case to make a satisfactory explanation for the cause he has pursued in relation to the presentation of this Claim.
The children should each for themselves make their declaration in open Court. They should also have made Application over oath to the Secretary of Massachusetts for his Certificate as to the Service of Solomon Curtis. Clear and satisfactory evidence identifying Mrs Curtis husband with the Soldier from Berkshire County bearing

his name, also proof or documentary proof public, or private of every manner prior to 1794, is required The evidence furnished upon those points are not at all satisfactory.
The Certificate in the case of Christine Millington and, widow of Samuel Millington, is herewith returned. This Certifi- cate was issued to the Chancery therein named upon the Certificate of the Court furnished by the parties themselves - We have no satis- fying evidence that there is any error in the Certificate is not We cannot therefore make any alterations in it.

Sir,
I have the honor to inform you that the evidence in the case of Christina Millington, deceased, widow of Samuel Millington, is satisfactory to establish the date of their marriage and also her husband's service. But the alleged date of Mrs. M's death, approximating the passage of the Act of 4th July, 1836, and as her claim turns exclusively upon the fact of her being alive at the passage of that Act, the particular day on which she died should be clearly shown by recital or documentary proof, if attainable; or by affidavit of the Coffin Maker, sexton and minister who officiated at her funeral. If such testimony cannot be procured, the "diary" of Walter Modeley, upon which her affidavit is based, should be submitted to the inspection of this Office as a copy of a private paper cannot be admitted as evidence so long as the Original is known to exist. The book may be returned to her again after it has been examined.
