He afterwards received a pension which was continued up to the day of his death. I have repeatedly heard the said Warren Brigham state that the pension he received last, was not so much as he ought to have, that there was a two months service, he never made a claim for, as he was not knowing at the time, that it would make much of any addition to the amount of his pension, and as he was not able by bodily infirmity, he made no exertions to obtain an increase in the last part of his life. Lucy Brigham the lawful widow of the aforesaid Warren Brigham is now living in this town at the former residence of Warren Brigham and is a person of full confidence. Barnabas Brigham
