Concord, Monday
District of Maine
On this 2 a day of July 1844 personally appeared before Ashur Ware judge of the United States for the District of Maine Samuel Moody a resident of Portland in said State of Maine aged seventy seven years who being first duly sworn doth upon his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832 -
That he entered the service of the United States in the month of May 1780 and served nearly eight months in the Company of Capt Joseph Pridie in Col. Purne's Regiment and was rated as a waiter.
That in the month of May 1781 he enlisted into Capt Reed's Company in Col. Mc Cobb's Regiment and served during that summer 8 months & was stationed at Pattana.
This declarant says that he has never heretofore made application for the benefit of the act of 1832 as he has been in such circumstances as to property as not to need the aid of a pension. He further says that he did not know till recently that there was in existence any record proof of his services in the revolutionary war. He therefore claims the benefit of the

Act aforesaid and requests that a pension may be granted to him for the service as provost by him in 1780 & 1781.

I Enoch Moody of Portland in the District of Maine fifty seven years of age testify & say that this book nowhere between herewith is an orderly book of Colonel's Orders concerning Col. Joseph Prince Regiment & commencing about 25 th 1780 & ending Nov 30 1780 under which date there is entered an order that the pay roll of Col. Prince's company & two other companies be made up according to & including the 6 th day of December next following. In this orderly book is the roll of Captain Prince's company George Burns first lieutenant & John McLellan 2 d lieutenant & William Moody Sergeant & on which roll is the name of Lemuel Moody. On the third page of the book is this entry "William Moody received this book the 21 st of May 1780." & the whole of the book is in the handwriting of William Moody after the date of May 21 except on short orders under the date of Nov 3. William Moody was my father who died in February 1821. Since that time this book has been in my possession, & I have known the book to be in possession of my father since I was a child & I know it to be in his handwriting.

I certify that the book named in the above deposition was before me when the deposition was taken & that the book is an ancient book, & has all the external appearance of being a genuine orderly book kept at the time when it purports to have been written. And from

instructions of it I now feel no doubt that it took in practice.
The delinquent is here usually known to me as a person of reliable character & whose testimony I believe to be above suspicion.

I served in the Company of Capt Joseph Pridie in 1780 eight months Samuel Moody now of Portland belonged to that company and did duty therein for the same term of time that I did.

I have been well acquainted with said Samuel Moody from his boyhood and I know that the person who served with me in Capt Pridie's Company in 1780 is the identical person who makes application for a pension. I was born and brought up in Falmouth now Portland, and was in the service in 1780 in Capt Pridie's Company in that year as a substitute for my brother Jeremiah Vearie in 1781 in Capt Reed's Company. Samuel Moody served in Capt John Reed's Company in 1781.

Referred to the Committee on Revolutionary Pensions
1845 Feb. 15 - Bill 620
Mr. Doolap

To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled.
The undersigned Samuel Moody a resident of Portland in the county of Cumberland respectfully represents.
That in the year 1780 he entered the service as a sea coast guard in the company commanded by Capt Joseph Prince in Col Joseph Prince's Regiment and was stationed at Falmouth where he then resided and performed the duty of a soldier that year from about the twenty fifth of April till the sixth day of December. This service was called an eight months service and I believe the most of the soldiers enlisted for eight months. During the year 1780 there were about three hundred soldiers stationed at Falmouth and was a part of the command of General Mawdsworth whose head quarters were at Camden or Thomaston. Lieut Col Prince had command of that portion of the troops stationed in Falmouth and he was in command that year from about the 25 th of March to the middle of Dec r or Thereabouts.
In the year 1781 Capt John Reed commanded a company for eight months that year under the command of Col. Samuel Mc Cobb whose Head Quarters were to the East of Portland then Falmouth. I enlisted into that company in the spring of the year and served until the company was discharged which was about the first of December.

of that year. His service was also an eight months service and the enlistment was for eight months.
The undersigned made application to the Commission of Pensions for the benefit of the act of 1832 and his application has been rejected. He now presents his claim to Congress and adds thereto the affidavits of two of his fellow soldiers who were with him in 1780 proving his service for that year. The undersigned has produced the evidence of the Secretary of State Massachusetts for a part of his service in 1781 & by the testimony of witnesses who served with him as to the length of that service which was eight months. The undersigned served at least fifteen months in the years 1780 & 1781. and prays Congress to pass a bill authorizing and directing the Commission of Pensions to place his name upon the roll agreeably to the evidence herewith submitted.

I Thomas Pride of Cumberland in the County of Cumberland on oath depose and say that I am seventy nine years of age and served in the Company of my father Joseph Pride in Col Prime in the year 1780 eight months. Samuel Moody who now resides in Portland served in said Company with me for said eight months. This service commenced the latter part of April and continued into the month of December of that year. I am positive that Moody served in the capacity of a soldier the whole of the said eight months was subject to the roll call as other soldiers in the Company during the season. I have known Samuel Moody from since the service aforesaid and he now resides in Portland. I draw a pension for my service in the Company aforesaid of $26.66 per annum.

The Orderly Book and the list of names therein appears ancient and genuine.
The name of Lemuel Moody of Falmouth is also on a payroll of Capt. John Reed's Company. Col. Samuel M c Cobb's Regt. from July 24. 1781. 4 months 8 days.
