To the Honorable the Secretary of the Department of War of the United States.
I the subscriber, being a Judge of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas, for the Second Eastern Circuit of Massachusetts, comprising the Counties of Lincoln, Kennebec and Somerset, do hereby certify to your Honor, that Daniel Plummer , a citizen of the United States, now resident in Conitield , in the said County of Lincoln , in the District of Maine, on the sixteenth day of May , A.

D. 1818, which declaration, and the other  is  now produced by said applicant  are hereunto annexed.
And I do further certify to your Honor, that after a full examination of the said applicant, and a careful consideration of the evidence in the case, it appears to me that the said applicant did serve as a private soldier in the war of the revolution, against the common enemy, upon the continental establishment, for more than nine months, as stated in his declaration aforesaid; and that from his reduced circumstances he needs the assistance of his country for his support.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the Seal of the said Court to be hereunto affixed, this sixteenth day of May , in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighteen.

I Daniel Plummer of Whitfield in the County of Lincoln and State of Massachusetts, aged sixty five years, a resident citizen of the United States, desiring to obtain the provision of a law of Congress entitled "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war," and to be placed on the pension list for the District of Maine, do on oath testify and declare: That in May or the first of June, 1775, at Alba, then Pownalborough, in Maine, I enlisted under Nathan Smith, who appeared as a recruiting officer, and marched to Cambridge: as Smith did not arrive  appear we were in about a week or ten days enlisted into the company of a Captain from North Yarmouth, whose name I think was called Lothier , Col. name forgotten, and served to the end of the year 1775 - I then enlisted into the service for a year, as a private soldier, in Capt. Winship's company, Col. Nixon's regiment, in the Massachusetts line, and served on the continental establishment, to the end of the year, which was

The year 1776, and volunteered a few weeks longer, I should think as much as a month; when we were at Morristown in the Jerseys voluntarily discharged, and directed to Hartford in Connecticut to receive our pay, which was there accordingly re- ceived by me and others who were with me. I was on Governor's Island when the British took Long Island, and was in the retreat from Long Governor's Island. I was stationed below Kingsbridge when New York was taken by the British. I was detached as a boat man to ferry across North River, and after the battle of White Plains assisted in carrying over the American Army under Gen. Lee, to the Jersey side. By reason of my reduced circumstances in life I am in need of as- sistance from my country for support. I do not at present know of any further evidence of my services in my power.

PENSION OFFICE,

SIR,
You are hereby informed that the Secretary of War does not, on account of the amount of your property, consider you entitled to a Pension under the Acts of the 18th March, 1818, and 1st May, 1820; and has, therefore, directed your name to be stricken from the Pension List.
I am, respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

Daniel Hammer, Whitefield Maine

I Pitt Dillingham, of Augusta Kennebec County Maine, do hereby certify that I have been acquainted with Daniel Plummer, of Whitefield Lincoln County for twenty years last, he is a very infirm lame old man, has lost the thumb of his left hand and has no property to my knowledge except the lot of land mentioned in his schedule, I have seen the said lot and should think that one hundred dollars is as much as said land is worth, it is unproductive property and cannot produce to him but very little as the said Plummer is in my opinion unable to labor for his support - If the said Plummer is deprived of his pension he must in my opinion depend upon public or private charity for support -

Daniel Plummer

I Samuel Carlton, of Whitfield, depose and say: That Daniel Plummer served in the Continental army as a private, seven months in 1775, and the residue of the year's service in 1776, in Col. Nixon's regiment. I often saw him as I was then in the ser- vice in the same regiment at the same time, but not in the same company. I am also impressed that he volunteered about two months in 1777, after his year was expired; but of this I am not so perfectly certain. He was a faithful soldier and did his duty with honour. Samuel Carlton

On the fourth day of May, A.D. 1819, Samuel Carlton aforesaid, personally known to me, a disinterested and credible witness, personally ap-

I Joel R Ellis, of Augusta in the State of Maine, trader, do upon oath declare that Daniel Plummer of Whitefield a pensioner under the laws of Congress of March 18. 1818, became indebted to me for supplies in provision & clothing furnished for his support from March 1820 to October 10. 1823 in the sum of One hundred Eighty Six Dollars and ten cents including a charge of Eighteen Dollars & twelve cents for interest on the sum advanced by me to him up to the last mentioned period. I then took his note to me with a mortgage of a poor piece of land in Palermo for security for what he owed me, the land is not worth over the sum of one hundred dollars & the said Plummer has no means to my knowledge of paying me what he owes. I made the advances to him the said Plummer from an expectation that he would be again restored to the pension list, being well acquainted with his circumstances & knowing he had little or no property I could have no fear of his being eventually stricken from the pension roll, for what he did not possess he is to my knowledge a poor man and now upwards of seventy three years of age — Joel R Ellis
