Sir
I have the honor to inform you that Ephraim Dusen asserted a claim under the act of 7 June 32 for an alleged service of 12 or 15 mo at Martha's Vineyard in 76-7 under Capt Nathan Smith. This claim was rejected because his name was not found in any one of the several pay rolls of Capt. Smith during that 12 mo service except one from 1 June to 1 Sept. on which he is credited for 29 days only. The witness Bapst who is borne upon all the rolls is mistaken as to the length of Dusen's service in this company of guards at the place of their residence. Dusen has but very lately set forth a claim to a pension. His petition & papers enclosed in yours of 21 inst and also his papers under the act of 7 June 32 are herewith forwarded

Sir
Shaw examined the rolls of Capt. Nathan Smith's company stationed at Martha's Vineyard from Dec 1775 to Dec 1776. In which Ephraim Dyer asserts that he performed something like a year's service, and paid his name but once on said rolls. He was 29 days in the summer of 1776.
Nathan Bepett, a witness in case, states that he served in said company. His name appears upon the rolls as he has stated.
The declaration of Dyer, and the proof offered being discredited by the rolls, his claim is disallowed. The papers placed upon the file.
