I Timothy Cunningham of Edgecumbe in the County of Lincoln of Lincoln State of Maine aged seventy seven years, on oath before me, that I am acquainted with Joseph Bedle of Boothbay in said County, & believe him to be seventy one years old. I was a soldier in the expedition to Penob- -scot, called the Bangobean expedition, in the year 1779, he then lived at a distance from me & I have no particular re- -collection of him, & in fact I can now remember but a very few of my comrades, but from one circumstance he has told me, I have not the least doubt but he was there - he re- -lated to me the case of a man who had his thigh taken off by a nine pound ball & some other particulars, which I am confident could not have been told by a person who was not there, for I was next to the man who lost his thigh, we were on the height of ground dig-
-ging a trench —

Madam:
I have to advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S. 19230, it appears that Joseph Carlisle was born in 1761 at York, Massachusetts (later Maine).
While residing at Boothbay, Lincoln County, Maine, he served as a private in the Massachusetts Troops, as follows-
From June 1779, three months in Captain Joseph Reed's Company; later in 1779, three months in Cap- tain Benjamin Plummer's Company, and went on the Bagaduce Expedition; soon after this, two weeks in Captain McAllister's Company, and helped to build the Fort at Boothbay; in 1781, three months in Cap- tain Tebbetts's Company, Colonel Emerson's Regiment, guarding the coast.
He was allowed pension on his application

executed September 13, 1832, while a resident of Boothbay, Maine.
There is no data as to family  John Carlisle's family.
The above noted Joseph Carlisle (all spellings of that name searched) is the only soldier of that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
The War of 1812 records of this Bureau fail to afford any data in regard to pension having been claimed on account of the services of any Joseph and William Carlisle, or to a John Joseph Carlisle as described by you.
That portion of your letter, relative to Jason Carlisle's service in the Civil War, has been for- warded to the proper Division for reply.
Respectfully
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
