Sir
Jonathan Records of this place, lately made application to your office, for an increase of pension, on account of service as a captain, a fact not noticed in granting his pension, under the act of June 7. 1832. - In your reply of Oct. 8. in part, you say "But the alleged service under Capt. M c Kinley, at the Grafton, in 1776, is not sustained by any roll or other satisfactory evidence. If you should be able to establish that term, still your allowance will be reduced."
We herewith forward evidence to establish the term at the Grafton, which we hope will be sufficient. You will be good enough to return the old certificate or a new one for such a sum as you may find justified by the evidence, to your Servt.

I, Samuel Parris of Hebron in the county of Oxford and State of Maine aged seventy six years on oath declare and depose that I was a Soldier in the Revolutionary army in the year 1777 and at several other times. - In 1777 about the first of July I enlisted into the company of Infantry commanded by Capt. Joseph Cook in the Regiment commanded by Col. John Robinson, and served in said company as orderly sergeant until the end of the year. - About the same time that I enlisted into said company, I engaged Jonathan Record to serve therein as a corporal for the term of six months , and the said Record signed the enlistments in my presence binding himself to serve accordingly - He thereupon joined the company and continued to perform duty therein until his term of enlistments, viz six months , had expired which was about the last of December 1777. - I was well acquainted with said Record from a boy, having been born and brought up near where he was, and I now reside in the town adjoining the one where he lives, and I well know that the Jonathan Record of Buckfield who makes application for a pension under the late law is the same person who performed six months service in the Revolutionary war as a corporal in Capt. Cook's company. - The service was performed principally in the State of Rhode Island. - Sam l Parris

To the Hon. J. W. Foster,
Secretary of War of the United States.
Jonathan Records of Buckfield, in the County of Oxford, State of Maine, respectfully states that he is a Pensioner of the United States, under the Act of Congress of the 7th June, 1832, as appears by his Certificate No. 18,576. which is herewith surrendered That in the proceedings by which that pension was granted to him, either by his own neglect to present the fact, or by an oversight in some agency through whom the business was consummated (& which he cannot now tell) an error was made in the amount of his pension, it having been granted entirely for services as a private, when in fact it ought to have been for services in part, as a noncommissioned officer. For evidence of this service, he refers to the depositions of Samuel Davis & Josiah Davis, herewith presented and to the records on file in the Pension office; on examination of which, if you should find him entitled to a higher pension, he prays you to issue to him a new Certificate, for such a pension as he is legally entitled to receive and for all arrearages as may be justly his due.

I Simon Reed of Buckfield, in the County of Oxford & State of Maine, aged 86 years being a person of the United States under the act of June 7. 1832, testify & say that Jonathan Reed of said Buckfield is my brother, and that I am well knowing to the fact that my said brother was a soldier in the Revolutionary war. My brother was at no time in the same com- pany with myself yet I know of his being gone with the army & returning from it several times. I saw him in 1777 at Rhode Island; and in 1778, I was on the point, in Plymouth harbor, when my said brother Jonathan was a soldier, then doing duty in the company commanded by Capt. Weston. I went this time from Pembroke on purpose to see my brother & other soldiers, and I tarried with him three nights. I think my brother served at that time under Capt. Weston six months, but am not so confident as to that particular —
