Gentlemen:
Will you kindly send me an abstract of the genealogical record of one Job Poole of Falmouth, Maine? The Department granted him a pension for services in the Revolutionary War, on April 20, 1818. I see he was 71 years in 1835, so he must have been born in 1764. I wish the record in order to join the Sons of the American Revolution.
An early reply will be greatly appreciated.
Would you have his death as well as other records? I thought perhaps when the pension ceased you would have some record of it.
Yours sincerely,
William Lincoln Palmer

Sir
Enclosed is the certificate of Joseph Colley, Clerk of the Town of Dartmouth—that the marriage of Job Pool & Mary Dunbar, was not to be found on the records of said Town—As to the Bible Record, it only contains the births & ages of the children, and is not therefore to the point in question. We now wholly rely on the collateral testimony already transmitted as as there is no record of their marriage on the books of the County, which I have also examined.

Hon. J. L. Edwards, Commissioner of Pensions, Sir,
Your Letter of September 2 nd 1843, in reply to my communication, of the twenty sixth of August, touching the claim of Mary the widow of Job Pool, for a Pension - Requires transcripts to be proved, the first of marriage, before the first of January 1794 - In relation to the marriage of Job Pool and Mary Deanbee, her Declaration deposed that she was married to the said Job Pool on the thirteenth day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty Eight - which was six years prior, to the required period.
The above I presume to be on the files of your Office. By the next document, the publication appears on the 26 th of April 1788 which leaves sixteen days intervening their publication and marriage - this agrees with the Customs of Maine - The next document contains the Declaration of one of the Selectmen Dan Merrill who is our Representative.
The next that of Joseph Colley Town Clerk Then follows the deposition of David Lunt and Sarah Williams

In deficiency of Records of any kind kind, thus far have we complied with the second article of the regulations, recited with your letter of Sept r - 2 d Viz. for want of the desirable records we feel that we have pretty clear- ly proved the marriage collaterally not only by one or two, but by several of our best and most responsible citizens -
As to the services of the late Job Pool - he died a Pensioner and They are all with you, as well as the original certificate of the schedule of the property of said Job Pool - which recently transmitted to your office, for the greater facility of search and fuller proof of the claim of Mary Pool, the present widow of the said Job Pool - And for your further satisfaction, we are compelled to refer your Honor, to the Records of the Pension Office. My last was dated September 27 th since which all has been silent. And the widow anxious for the fate of her claim, solicits Your Honor, to have the

goodness to afford the required information as soon as the multiplicity of your cares will allow - and will you have the goodness to state any apparent deficiency in my agency.
I am Sir with
High assurances of Respect.

Will your Honor, answer this communication and instruct me if the evidence, transmitted, is sufficient or what further evidence is necessary. And every such instruction will receive, all due attention.

Falmouth
September 27 th . 1843.
Sir,
From page 8 of my Notarial records I observe the Transcript of the Declaration of Elizabeth Lord, resident in Portland, Maine, aged Eighty seven years. I saw her yesterday, she is still living, and threatened with poor house & prison, by a Landlord, who happened to be then present. I transmitted to your Honor, an undoubted and indisputable, testimony of the last end of her Husband's Service of Eight months, at Rhode Island, attested by two of his fellow Soldiers, viz. James Blake of Falmouth, West-brook, in said County of Cumberland & and Samuel Swift of Gray in said County, my last certificate Aug. 15 - 1843. The service absolutely attested was four months with the anticipated service of his four months, when they became acquainted with him, at Rhode Island.
I believe my question with the communication, was if his first four months could be admitted, without further search.
There does not appear to be any question of Simon Lord's having served Eight months, if not longer, but I anticipate, that we must prove his first four months, more definitely.
I shall therefore go to Eliot, next week, for that purpose. This communication is

made, to ascertain, if her papers, transmitted, about the time of Mrs. Mary Cook, widow, were duly received and are on file.
Hon. J. L. Edwards.                      With Respect I am Commissioner of Pensions.              Sir, y r Ob t Serv t . Josiah Batchelder,
P.S. Will your Honor cause us an early notice, if said papers are on file and any further information, necessary to the W d . Lord claim.

Hon. J. L. Edwards,
Commissioner of Pensions, City of Washington, D.C.

Falmouth September 27 th 1843 -
Sir,
Yours of the second, in answer to my communication, of the 26 th ultimo, brings Mr. Mary Pool's Widow of the late Job Pool, of Falmouth, Deceased, within the provision of the Pension Act; as by the strongest possible collateral testimony presented, she was married to him, after he came out of the service and before the year, seventeen hundred and ninety four, the discrepancy between the arrangement of the dates, of the documentary papers, was impossible to be avoided, made necessary by the neglect of the Reverend Mr. Williams, as to making a due return, of his records of marriages, to the Down Clerk's Office, and their after destruction, by fire and carelessness. As to the marriage of Job Pool and Mary Dunbar, there is not any question here; we have three Selectmen, Mr. Daniel Merrill, who is one of our Selectmen, and also, the Representative of the Town of Falmouth, has signed an important document, the other two, were at the other end of the Town, five or six miles distant, I did not therefore consult them, as the accumulating testimony of the marriage in question, rendered the very question, risible, in this neighborhood.

In case the widow Pool, should receive a warrant, for a Pension, under the act of July 7 th 1838 - for a five years pension under from the fourth of March - 1836 - will you have the goodness to forward to me, such blanks as may be necessary to her future application, for the one years pension, from the fourth day of March, 1843, agreeable to the a mandatory act of August 23 d 1842 and a resolution approved, the sixteenth day of August, 1842 and such further instructions, as your Honor, may judge expedient.
In case of such future application, would any further proof of the services of Job Pool, their marriage or her identity as his widow, be necessary? Is it necessary in such case, for the widow to make another formal declaration and a new recital of her testimony, or will a transcript of the whole or a part, certified from my notarial records suffice?
I am Sir, Hon. J. L. Edwards Commissioner of Pensions. With High Respect Your Ob t Serv t
Josiah Batchelder, S.P. & P.
P.S. Will your Honor have the goodness, to answer soon, as the widow, is destitute and anxious.

September 28 th 1833,
Sir
Since (subscribed) the opposite page.
The idea crossed my mind that the widows Declaration, should have been to obtain the benefits of the acts of Congress passed July 7 1838 and the 23 d of August 1842, granting pensions to the widows of persons who served during the Revolutionary war &c — Of the widow's pool, the claim shall require such a formality as you will have the goodness to send me a sheet blank to facilitate my proceedings —
As to the collateral testimony of the marriage & its necessity arises from the facts, that there is not any regular either family, town, or ministerial record to be found of their marriage & there is a family record of the children — but as the marriage was not inserted, I have not paid any attention to it. Of the claim, I have not any doubt, and the evi- dences of proof military services are all on your records by his returned pension warrant & papers.
P.S. The Town Clerk's certificate that there is not any record of the marriage on the Town books, can be had if necessary — but I thought that his other certificates, would amount to the same point.
