In the case of Deborah Babbitt I enclose the certificate of Sec'y of State. It seems to prove more service by a month or more than the original application stated & I suppose the widow can have the benefit of it - I hope it. The fact that the military cost was paid in December proves that the 8 months service was running at that time.

Pension Office, April 26 th 1845.
Sir,
The claim of Deborah Bartlett, under the Act of 7 th July, 1838, is barred by the Act of 30 th April 1844, her husband Daniel Bartlett having received a pension for the five years to which that Act was limited.
If her claim under the Acts of 1843 and 17 th June 1844, be urged the alleged service of her husband must be established by the certificate of the Secretary of State of Mass. He says he enlisted on the 10 th April 1775, from Hadley, under Capt. E. Smith, Col. Nathan M c Lean and served to the 1 st January following, in 1777 (Sept 22) under Capt. Moses Kellog, Col. Elisha Folsom, and served twenty four days.
The date of the marriage is satisfactory.
I am, Very respectfully, Your Ob st Serv t . J. L. Edwards.
