Dear Sir, The melona Application of Sedidiah Blanchard has been twice presented to the War- Department - The last Objection as you will see from the paper was that he required more proof of Service - The Old Man is very poor and infirm and has not the means of looking up evidence - It appears to me that he proves enough and to deny him any larger will amount to depriving him of it from - he has as you will see found an Witness who is entitled to be credible -
I hope the department will not compel him to go through the form of swearing in Court - He is so poor that I doubt whether he can raise the means - You will do a deed of Charity by urging his Name to be placed on the roll -
In haste Your friend

Comptrollers Office, October 30 th 1833
I Elisha Phelps, Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Connecticut, do certify that the Council of Safety, on the 2 nd day of August 1779 "resolved that a force of four thousand men "full commissioned & Staff officers exclusively be "kept up for defence of the sea coast of this State "the present campaign. That in order therefor a "draft of 2363 men be made & properly officered "from the several brigades of militia in this "State in proportion to the number of effective men "viz from the 1 st brigade 351 from the 2 nd 454 - from "the 3 rd 378 from the 4 th 426 - from the 5 th 370 - & from "the 6 th 284 men & to be at the places of their destination "the 20 th of instant August, or such time as the Capt n . General "General shall direct & continue in service two "months from the time of their arrival and that a "like draft be made of an equal number for an "equal term of service to commence on the 16 th of "October next or such time as the Capt n . General "shall direct so as to relieve the first draft. That "said force be stationed 1500 men properly officered "at New London & other parts East of Connecticut

11 river, 1250 at New Haven & other posts between 11 Connecticut and Stratford rivers & 1250 at the different 11 posts west of Stratford river subject to such other disposition 11 & movements as circumstances & emergencies shall 11 require & the Capt. Gen d , or other of the General Officers 11 commanding said force or detachments thereof shall 11 from time to time order & direct.
There is no evidence by which it can be determined whether Capt. Granger was detached and served under the above order or not. The names of captains who were detached, do not always appear on the books, as the expense of of the corps is sometimes charged in gross.
It appears by the books that Capt. Samuel Granger was in service in the year 1780, & the pay roll of his Company charged to the United States in Col. Wells Regt a part of which served at New Haven. There is no roll of his company in this campaign to be found.
(It appears by the State records that the General Assembly of this State at three sessions in in January 1782 ordered a corps to be raised, and to serve until the first of March one year, and appointed Samuel Canfield Lt. Col. & Elijah Humphreys Major thereof. Samuel Granger

was appointed one of the Captains & Abiel Wilson & John Bulkley (Ensigns.)
By the journal of the Council of Safety it appears that Abner Granger was appointed Captain vice Samuel Granger on the 11 th day of April 1782; & on the 5 th of March 1782 Ensign Wilson was promoted to a 2 d vice — Root resigned; & on the 29 th of March 1782 Joseph Cutler was appointed Ensign vice Ens. Wilson promoted in the Reg t at Horseneck.
No roll of Capt. Grangers company has been found; or any other evidence of their term of service than has been stated.
On the books of the Pay Table, under date April 29 th 1783, there is charged to the United States, viz, "To amount Capt. Abner Granger account pay roll Canfield's Reg t £3185, 3, 0. "

Jedidiah S. Blancher, " "
Geo. Park Agent. Binghamton N. York.

No 10774
BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims , of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Isaac Blanchet. which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides?
Yes.
II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides?
Yes.
III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so?
IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served?
No.
V. * Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled?
No.
VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations?
Yes.
VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832?
Yes.
VIII. Has the Court given their opinion?
Yes.
IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate?
Yes.
X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal?
Yes.

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? 
XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it? 
XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had?
As his name is not found on Willets' regt. he is required to establish his service by two credible witnesses
XIV. † If the applicant has produced a witness or witnesses as to his service, has the magistrate who administered the oath certified that he, she, or they are persons of credibility? No.
Has the official character and signature of the magistrate been certified by the proper officer under his seal of office?
Yes.
XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service?
Yes.
XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct?
Yes.
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? 
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
“Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeh and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades: For _____ year _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____. For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension.”
X His enlistment in Swifts regt bears date 1 July 80 & discharge 13 Nov 82

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which the applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable.
† QUERE XIV.  Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
‡ QUERE XVI.  Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticated the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the end of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
The applicant claims no pension for services in Willets Regt. Geo. Park agent for applicant

Sir,
I send enclosed additional testimony to substantiate the Claims of Frederick Blanchard for a pension - In his original declaration he claims for 12 Mo. service in the Continental Army & for a like term in the state troops of N. York - "By the Rules of the first you say (in yours of Apr 15 1833) it is established that he served only 5 Mo and 13 days which necessarily discredits the fidelity of his memory, it could not therefore be received in relation to his service in the state troops unless supported by satisfactory proof" - Mr Blanchard still thinks he served 12 Mo. in the Con. Army but due allowance should be made to a memory much impaired by the infirmities of age He is happy to have it in his power to forward the affid t of James Stoddard Esq. late a Capt. in the Revolutionary war as to the full period claimed in the State troops
Very Respectfully
