Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Bathsheba Beals, a pensioner in 1840, "and paid to Ezra Beals in Columbus Township, Warren County, Pennsylvania".
The data furnished herein are obtained from the papers on file in the Revolutionary War claim for pension, W.6811, based upon the military service of Azariah Beals, the husband of Bathsheba Beals, in that war.
Azariah Beals was born December 15, 1753, place not stated.
During the Revolutionary War, he was a resident of Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts; he enlisted and served as a private with the Massachusetts Troops as follows: in 1775, six months in Captain Orr's Company; in 1776, one and one-half months in Captain Orr's Company; in 1776 and 1777, four months in Captain Truant's Company; in 1777, three months in Captain Washburn's Company, Colonel Sprout's Regiment; in 1778, one and one-half months on Rhode Island under Colonel Carpenter.
After the Revolution, he resided in Plainfield, Hampshire County, state not given, where he died February 25, 1831.
The soldier married August 8, 1776, at Bridgewater, Massachusetts, Bathsheba Bisbee, who was born April 29, 1753. Both were then of said Bridgewater.
Soldier's widow, Bathsheba, was allowed pension on her application executed January 12, 1837, while residing in Preston, Chenango County, New York. In 1841, she was living with her son in Columbus Township, Warren County, Pennsylvania, name of the son not given.
I did not use any state report as there were two vols. of that name so used Nidorn's statement & his brother Jonathan Beals!

She died March 22, 1844, at Pine Valley, Pennsylvania.
The following appears on the family records:
David Beals born May 31, 1778. Ezra Beals " February 20, 1781, in 1855, residing in Pine Valley, Pennsylvania. Roxana Beals " May 12, 1785, married ----- Andrews, and in 1837, residing in Preston, New York. Clarisa Beals " May 7, 1787, died September 18, 178- (illegible) Levi Beals " May 18, 1789. Patty Beals " July 4, 1792. Catherine Beals " ---- --, ---- died December 30, 1833.
Morell Beals " September 18, 1822. Patty M. Beals " August 25, 1826. Austin M. Beals " September 22, 1828. Charles J.S. or T.Beals" " July 12, 1832.
In 1855, the only surviving children were Ezra and Levi Beals.
In 1836, soldier's brother, Jonathan, was a resident of Charlemont, Franklin County, Massachusetts, and stated that he served two tours with his brother, Azariah Beals, in the Revolutionary War.
In 1841, Lucena Beals was a resident of Warren County, Pennsylvania, and in 1855, one Leroy Beals was a resident of Pine Valley, Warren County, Pennsylvania; no relationship of either of the two last named persons with surname Beals to the family shown.

In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto affixed the Seal of the Commonwealth, the date above written.

Panama Chautauqua County N.Y. May 17-56-
Dear Sir- Feb-
In 1855- I obtained your certificate in support of the claim of Bathsheba Beals- widow of Azari- ah Beals- and on the 12- July 1855- the claim was rejected - as follows- "The service under Trufant was claimed by Azariah Beals of Red Bank Norfolk Mass- directly after the passage of the act of 1852- The certificate of the Secretary of Mass- was furnished to sustain the claim and it was allowed etc "
When I was at Washington a few days ago- I exam- ined the original declaration of Azariah Beals- which here insert for your consideration-
Azariah Beals
"being duly sworn states- that he was born in Weymouth- Norfolk Co- Mass- that he resided at Weymouth when he entered the service in April 1775- that he was a volunteer in the company under capt- Trufant - and served till Aug 1776 His 2 nd service was as follows- "That he was a volunteer from Weymouth- entered the service in August 1776- under capt- James Endicott- & Col- Ephraim Wheelock- marched from Weymouth to Charles- town New Hampshire- thence to Lake Umbagog- thence to Simon's  Brook "

Thence back to Barning to the Ft. & Northampton home - Feb - 1799 3 rd - That he was in service from May 1799 to July - 99 Vol - under Capt. Joseph Porter & Col. Burbank - marched from Weymouth to Castle Island - and (there discharged in July - 99.)
Norwood Mark.
He only claimed that he served under Capt. Infant. for some time from April - 95 - to Aug - 96 - His 2 nd and 3 rd services were under Capt. Gardicott and Porter - His witnesses to prove his service were Robert Bates of Weymouth and Jonathan Cushing of Hingham -
Thus far for Azariah Beals of Weymouth -
Now for the service of Azariah Beals - the husband of Bathsheba Beals - He was born in Bridgewater - Plymouth Co - Mass - and died in Plainfield Hampshire Co - Mass - in 1811 -
His Widow Bathsheba Beals claimed in her original dec- laration - that her husband was in service in 1776 - and served 6 months at Roxbury under Capt. Otis - 2 nd that in - 76 - or - 77 - he served 4 mo. at Nantasket - under Capt. Infant. 3 rd that in - 77 - he served 3 mo. under

Capt Washburn Col Sprouts R.I. at North Kingston R.I. 4 th that in 1778 - he served one month and a half in R.I. under Col Carpenter -
His wife's name was Jonathan Beals a Brother of Azariah Beals - (his husband) -
He swore - that (he and his Bro Azariah Beals served 4 months under Capt Grafton on Nantucket. 2 nd that Azariah Beals served 3 months under Capt Washburn Col Sprouts at North Kingston R.I. 3 rd that Azariah Beals served 6 weeks in Rhode Island under Gen (Col Powell)
You will thus perceive that there were two Men by the name of Azariah Beals - the one from Weymouth - the other from Bridge water - and it appears they both served in Capt Grafton's Co.
You will also bear in mind - that Azariah Beals of Weymouth - did not offer - but one service under Capt Grafton that is 2 nd service was under Capt Grafton and his 3 rd service was under Capt Porter -
I now request - that you will carefully examine the Documents on file in your Office -

so as to plainly designate the two men - also their different places of residence - and should you find that both served at the same time under Capt. Gambant - you will please note that fact.
Allow me here to suggest that our present Court of Pensions is a very critical part of a Man - and unless your best evidence is explicit - he will again reject our Bathsheba Beals claim.
Enclosed please find one dollar -
Very truly yours,
Francis W. Huggins
Attorney etc.

Theobaldine - Bathsheba Beals. Heirs of -

1856-
Panama. N.Y. May 17-
Dear Sir-
Enclosed please find new proof in support of the claim of heirs of Gathsheba Beals-widow of Azariah Beals-deceased.
She was pensioned under the Act of 4-March 1836- at $28-33 per annum- and I filed the declaration of her heirs for an increase and for the arrearage in July 1855- in support of which claim, I also filed the Family Record and certificate of the Secretary of Mass- dated 2-Feb-1855-
This claim was rejected (see your letter to me, dated July 12-1855) - on the ground that the service under Infant was claimed by Azariah Beals of Norfolk Mass- directly after the passage of the act of 1832.
In the letter above alluded to - a very important fact was overlooked entirely viz- that there were two Men by the name of Azariah Beals both in service at the same time - both from Mass but from different Counties - In support of this assertion I refer you to the declaration of Azariah Beals of Weymouth in the County of Norfolk - on file - in which he declared that he resided at Weymouth when he entered the service in Aug 1776 and served under Capt James Coodicott Col. Ehrainat's Regt - that he served at Bunker Hill & Lake Champlain.

and returned through Bennington Vt and near discharged in Feb-1869
I also refer you to the affidavit of Jonathan Beals - a Brother of our Agasi- ah Beals which is on file in support of the claim of Gattsheba Beals - who proves that Agasian Beals (his Bro) lived in Bridgewater - Plymouth Co - when he entered the service -
I also refer you to the enclosed Certificate of the Secretary of War - dated May 13 th 1856 - which proves that Agasian Beals served in Capt. Grafton's Comp - from 22 nd May 1876 to Jan 1 st 1877 as a private from Bridgewater - service at Hull - 7 months + 9 days. You will please note the fact that while Agasian Beals of Weymouth was in service at Lake Champlain and Ticonderoga under Capt. Endicott - Agasian Beals of Bridgewater was also in service at Hull under Capt. Grafton.
Thus far as to the facts that there were two men by the name of Agasian Beals - both in service at the same time - one under Endicott - the other under Grafton - the one at Ticonderoga - the other at Hull .
I flatter myself that I have set forth the facts sufficiently clear -

The following is the different periods of service of Azariah Beals the husband of Bathsheba for which no credit or pension has ever been rendered or allowed -
 1 st On roll of Capt Thomas Wash Col Forces Reg - from March 4 th 1776 to take possession of Litchfield 4 days  2 nd on the same roll - from 10 March 1776 - as private 8 "  3 rd On roll of Capt Mark at Hull in Aug 1777 3 "  4 th On pay roll of Capt Nathan Holden from July 30 to Aug 9 1777 80 - as Corporal 10 "  5 th On roll of Capt Nathan Peabody from Jan 25 1778, 1 mo 16 for proof see Sec. stamp 2-13 1 st Certificate Feb 2 1855 on file - 2 months & 13 days 
Also see his 2 nd Certificate May 13 1856 now enclosed for his service under Grant from 22 May 1776 to January 1 st 1777 Yrs 9 days Yrs 9
9 22
I therefore claim an increase of the pension of Bathsheba Beals for 9 months and 22 days service - from the date thereof - viz 4 th March 1831 to the 22 nd March 1844 - when she died - See her Family Record and proof on file -

Rev. claim of dec d - Bathsheba Beals. Widow of Azariah.

Panama N.Y. July 28/56
Dear Sir-
I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 18 th inst. in relation to the claim of Bathsheba Beals of Pa. in which you say-
"It is certain that "Azariah Beal of Norfolk Mass. was re- "sioned for the identical service which you "now claim was rendered by Bathsheba "Beals husband."
Sir - if you will care- fully examine the case - I think you will readily see your error-
1 st Az Beal of Weymouth Norfolk Co. in his  acc.  on  file . stated that he "was in the U.S. service from Weymouth "from the month of April 1775- to Aug. "1776. and served under Capt. Grafton This is all he claimed under Capt. Grafton. His 2 nd service was un- der Capt. Conlicott. His 3 rd under Capt. Potter.
Now Sir - mark , if you please. The certificate of the Sec. of Boston of May 13-1856. on which we rely in part says-
"Azariah Beal is borne on a payroll "of Capt. Joseph Grafton's Com. Col. "Josiah Whitney's Reg. from May 22 nd . "1776. to Jan'y. 1 st 1777. 7 mos - 9 days.

"as private from Bridgewater - service at Hull ?"
He also says-
"There appears also in Capt. Infant Co. Agariah Beal from Norfolk . but different service."
It is therefore clearly evident that both Men were under Infant from May 22 - to Aug - 1776 - when Beal of Weymouth left Infant Co - and joined Endicott Co - (and Beal of Bridgewater (our Man) continued under Infant till 1 st Jan y - 1777 - 7 mo - 9 days -
Beal of Wey- mouth states in his dec. (which see) that he served from Aug - 1776 - to Feb - 1777 - under Capt. Endicott - and served at Siconderoga - just the time our Man was serving at " Hull " under Infant .
We therefore confidently claim that we have established the following periods of service of Ag- ariah Beal of Bridgewater . The hus- band of Bathsheba Beal of Ba-
1 st On roll of Capt. March from the  2 nd days March 1776 - from 0 - 4 2. On the same roll - 18 th Mar - 76 - - 8 3 rd On Infant roll - from 22 nd mo May 1776 to 1 st Jan - 1777 - at " Hull " 7 - 9 - 4. On roll of Capt. March - in Aug. 1777 - at Hull - 3 7 - 24

med- clas  5 th On roll of Capt Nathan 7- 24 Packard Jan-25-1778- 1- 15. 6 th On roll of Capt. Alden from July 30- to Aug-9-1780 as Corporel - 11
 \begin{array}{r} 9 \quad 20 \\ 14 \quad 15 \\ \hline 14 \quad 5 \end{array} 
Mr Edwards allowed the Widow of Beals 4 1/2 months service under Capt Washburn - see his letter on file and dated July 25-1834-
In support of this amount of service I refer to the two certificates of the Sec- of War - to the letter of Mr Edwards (above alluded to) - and to supported by son - Beals his Brother who served with him - (Ag) at North Kingston R.I. under Washburn -
If however it should be found that Ag-Beal of Norfolk was pensioned for a portion of the "identical" service which Ag- Beals of Bridgewater (Bathsheba's husband) performed - it was an error of Mr Edwards and for which we are not responsible - and by which we ought not to suffer -
Ag- Beal of Norfolk claimed that he served 2 yrs - & 2 mos His service was proved by Robert Bates of Weymouth, and Jonathan Cushing of Hingham - also by Sec- of War - It is evident that he, even - did not receive

the amount of pension to which he was entitled -

Sir,
The papers of Bathsheba Beals, widow of Azariah Beals, have been examined and filed. It is alleged by the claimant that her husband served six months in Capt. Orr's company in 1775, and six weeks in 1776. The only roll of the company which has been found, embraces a term of seven days only, in 1775; the name of Azariah Beal is not borne thereon. Therefore no part of the service above mentioned can be allowed without farther proof. There appears to be no objection to the term of four months under Captain Grant; and the two terms amounting to 4½ months under Capt. Washburn.
I am, respectfully, your ob st serv t . J. L. Edwards
