“ The following list of Marriages were found in the House of the late Rev. Jonas Merriam after his death, said list being wrote by his own hand but not signed. ”
After a Record of Sunday Marriages I find the following.
“ 1778. Sep r 15 th Thomas Wogle to Elizabeth Fuller both of Newton. ”
“ Entered with the Clerk of the Sessions. ”
I find the above named list of Marriages to bear Sunday dates from Feb. 2. 1776 to Dec 2 o 1779. Soon after the last date it appears from Record that persons were married in Newton by Justices of the Peace, probably on account of the infirmity of Rev. Mr. Merriam who had usually performed this service previous to this time.
“ Rev. Mr. Jonas Merriam died August 13 th 1780. ”

Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
Thomas Bogle, a Revolutionary soldier, received a pension from the government, sometime after 1800, I think. I believe he enlisted from Massachusetts, but I do not know his residence when he applied for the pension, though it must have been one of the New England states. The name is uncommon and probably not duplicated. If you find such an one in your pension records, kindly send me complete details.
Very truly yours,
Alton L. Smith.

Madam:
I have to advise you that from the papers in the pension claim, Widow File 24705, it appears that Thomas Bogle served as a private in the Massachusetts Troops as follows: from Sept. 1775, for four months, names of officers not stated; from March 7, 1777, for three years under Captains John Porter and Noah Allen and Colonels Edward Wigglesworth and Calvin Smith; and from March, or April 1781, to October 1783, under Captains Williams, Abel Holden and Moses Wottles and Colonels Greaton, Smith, and Tupper.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 21, 1818, at which time he was sixty-three years old and a resident of Wardsboro, Windham Co. Vermont. He died August 16, 1826, at said place.
He married September 15, 1778, at Newton, Massachusetts Elizabeth Fuller, both of them were residents of Newton.
