Commonwealth of Massachusetts
County of Worcester ss. On this thirteenth day of July in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and thirty nine, personally appeared before the Court of Probate for said County of Worcester, (the same being a Court of record,) 1 Elizabeth Battell a resident of North Brookfield in said County, aged sixty five years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on her oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the Act of Con- gress passed July 7. 1838, entitled "an act granting half-pay and pension to certain widows."
That she is the widow of Lyman or Lyman Battell late of said North Brookfield deceased, who was a private

once Sargent in the army of the re- -volution, and serves as nearly as she can state as follows; At the time of the Revolu- tion she lived in the town of Northfield in this State, and she did not know her husband till after the war, who went into the service from said town of Northfield. She has been told by her said husband and she widely believes that he first went out as a minute man in the Company of Capt. Joseph Gallet, com- by an original paper with arms, and marked B. and which the defendant found with other old papers left by her said husband, she believes he was trans- ferred to the Company of Capt. Peter Hawson, and that he left the service in a little more than a month from the time he entered it.
2 The next service of her said husband of which she has heard him speak, is

of which she has been able to obtain any evidence, was at the testimony of Henryyer in the Company of Capt. John Hannister, and this service the bilious was about three months and is verified not only by the depositions annexed, but also by an old roll which she found a- mongst her husband's papers as a service which is hereto annexed and marked
B.
3. The third time he went out was in the year 1781, and for the evidence of it she refers to the deposition of John Glass. It appears that the service was in the Company of Capt. Adair Bailey in Col. Sproats, Regiment, and this defendant confesses he went into the three years service, but she cannot state as to that; nor can she state whether he was transferred to the Company of Capt. Drew, or whether he enlisted anew under him, but she

would believe he was in this service more than two years, and a part of the time as a sergeant. She answered here to another old paper marked C. which she thinks is a sort of a general discharge as he was coming home out of the army service. She has no other old papers throwing any light upon her case & she must rely upon the rolls & the proof, answered.
She further declares that she was married to the said Lyman Bartlett on the twenty ninth day of May in the year 18 seventeen hundred and ninety one, in North Woodsville or as it was then called Woodsville. That her husband the aforesaid Lyman Bartlett died on the third day of April eighteen hundred & fifteen, and that she has not been married since. That she was not married to him for reasons of his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the first day of May, seventeen hundred and ninety five, which at the time was the stated.
Subscribed & sworn to the day & year first above written, the word "eighteen" being first erased. Before me Albion Nathan Judge of the Court of Probate for said County of Litchfield.

On this 18th day of July A.D. 1851, personally appeared before the subscriber a Justice of the peace in and for the county aforesaid Elias Bartlett a resident of North-Brookfield in the county and State aforesaid aged 43 years who upon oath makes the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the acts of Congress passed July 7, 1838, March 3 d 1843, & 17 th June 1844.
And this declarant states that he is one of the children of Elizabeth Bartlett late of Stark, Brookfield deceased. He states that his said Mother was the widow of Wymen Bartlett deceased. The said Wymen Bartlett was a resident of Brookfield in the time of the Revolutionary War, that the said Wymen was a soldier in Capt. Starwood's Company for a short time in the 8 mos service, that he was at the taking of Burgoyne in 1777 and was in the 3 years service in Capt. Adam's Bradley's Company as he believes. His said father Wymen Bartlett died on the 3 d day of April 1815 and his mother the said Elizabeth Bartlett survived him and was never afterwards married.

and died on the 15. February 1848. This declarant states that his mother the said Elizabeth Bartlett made application for a pension in her life time and he believes that she adduced proof as to the date of her marriage and also as to the time of his father's death. He therefore refers to said declaration and to the proof therein contained. He further states that the children and only surviving children of the said Elizabeth Bartlett are Elias Bartlett, Susanna Smith Nancy Tyler Sarah Williston Thomas Bartlett and William Bartlett. He claims the pension that was due his mother in behalf of the surviving children. Elias Bartlett

J. L. Edmunds Esq. Sir
In the case of Nathaniel Bent vs. a former under the Act of July 1838, I am advised that no further supplementary evidence can be furnished, than that is herewith enclosed. That the name of her husband, by name Bartlee, should not appear on the rolls of the Company from which he received a regular discharge, is wholly inexplicable on the part of the Applicant, and the respectfully asks a careful re-examination of the rolls to see if there be not some mistake about the matter. The evidence of three years service, is as full as it can be, except that results from the deposition of the Clerk of the town of Brookfield. It is not unusual that the names of three three years men are not found upon our town records. The service was as particularly set forth in the declaration as it was possible for the Applicant to do, and she is obliged to rest her case upon its inherent justice, the evi- dence furnished, and the rolls in your office. Further Admrs or the Certificate may be returned to me.
Very Respectfully Wm. H. Norton
