I advise you that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 12633½, that Daniel Brown served as a private in Captain Carlton's Company in Colonel Nichols' New Hampshire Regiment. He was wounded in the left shoulder, arm and side, at the battle of Bennington and was pensioned for said wounds.
He married at Putney, Vermont, March 16, 1818, Mrs. Dolly Sawtell (her maiden name was Whitney) and she was then a resident of Marlboro, Vermont.
Daniel Brown died at Putney, Vermont, October 4, 1823.
His widow, Dolly, was pensioned by a special act of Congress, approved June 23, 1870.
Dolly afterwards married Winslow Whitney and she died at Edinburgh, Saratoga County, New York, April 2, 1872, aged ninety-eight years.
The names of her children are not stated but reference is made to her grandchildren, George W. Brown and Mrs. Mary B. Haywood .
Respectfully,
Omitted ages given for if correctly stated they could not have been grandchildren of Dolly Brown if she were married in 1818.

Madam:
In response to your letter without date which was received the 17 th ultimo, you are advised that from the papers in the Revolutionary War claim R. File No. 12,633 \frac{1}{2} , it appears that Daniel Brown served in Captain Carlton's company, Colonel Nichols' New Hampshire regiment. He was wounded in the left shoulder, arm and side, at the battle of Bennington, and was pensioned for said wound.
He married at Putney, Vermont, March 16, 1818. Mrs. Dolly Sawtell (her maiden name was Whitney). He died at Putney, Vermont, October 4, 1823. She afterwards married Winslow Whitney and she died at Edinburgh, Saratoga County, New York, April 2, 1872. The names of her children are not stated, but two of her grandchildren are referred to.

Very respectfully,
Commissioner.
I did not attempt to file dates of service as the report from N.H. simply gives all the Daniel Browns on their rolls without establishing identity of soldier. Nor did I say anything about her having applied because she died before claim was allowed.

Report. Case of Dolly Brown.
Dolly Brown is widow of Daniel Brown, who was an invalid prisoner for service wounds received in service as a private in the revolutionary war. She said Daniel Brown served more than six months during that war, but the widow was unable to make proof of that fact according to the rules of the Pension Department. The proof before the Committee seems, however, to establish that fact. The petitioner also alleges that her husband died of the wounds received in the service, but the proof of this is not very clear. Daniel Brown, at the time of his death in 1823, was receiving a pension at the rate of eight dollars a month. The Committee recommends the passage of the accompanying bill.

Report of Seneca Ammeters
1 Horse Barn No 2101

She Annulled no pensions to whom was refused there was No 2101 granting a pension to Dolly Brown report.
That it appears that Dolly Brown is the widow of Daniel Brown a soldier of the Revolution who was wounded at the battle of Bennington in 1779 and who at the time of his death was drawing a pension at the rate of eight dollars per month. She was married again on the 16th of March 1818. He died on the 4th of October 1823. On the 6th of July 1853 she made application for a pension as his widow under the act of February 3, 1853 which provided that the widows of all officers, non- commissioned officers, musicians and privates of the Revolutionary Army who were married subsequent to January 1800 should be entitled to a pension in the same manner as those who were married before that date.
The ground on which her application for a pension was denied is, that Daniel Brown was an enrolled pensioner and therefore his widow was not entitled unless she served as a nurse or seamstress six months during the revolutionary war, which does not satisfactorily appear. But from the evidence before the Committee it is not clear that Brown did not draw for a longer period, and under the circumstances the Committee concurs with the Pension Committee in recommending the passage of the Bill

Sir,
Daniel Brown who is claimed to have been the husband of Dolly Brown who applies for a pension, under the Act of Feb 3 d 1853, was an invalid pensioner, and therefore his widow is not entitled, unless his service had continued 6 months in the revolutionary war. He appears to have been among the New Hampshire Militia who followed General Stark to Bennington, if so, he could not have served that length of time. The rolls of Col. Seth Warner have been carefully examined in the hope that he might have served in the Massachusetts Troops, but his name is not found, or the names of the Officers under whom he claimed, in his application for a pension in 1823, to have served,

At the time he rendered the service certified to by the Secretary of New Hampshire now on file in your office, the State of New Hampshire claimed jurisdiction over the territory in which Brown resided, being included in what was termed "Bumpshire Grants". This may account for his services as certified by both Secretaries.

Genl. J. Minot. } Washington. Decr. 3. 1855. Commr. of Pensions. } Sir.
I have the honor to enclose herewith a letter from your office suspending the claim of Polly Brown widow of Daniel of A. H. (who was an Invalid Pensioner) for the benefit of the Act of Feby. 3. 1853, with an endorsement thereon of a request for me to act as Agent in the case. By your office letter it appears that Brown belonged to the U. Hampshire Militia, and followed General Stark to Bennington. The enclosed Certificate of the Secretary of New Hampshire shows that Brown served in 1775 for 3 months and 16 days in Col. Reeds Regt. and in Col. Morses Ricksols Regt. from 22 July 1777 to the 23 d Sept. 1777, when he was wounded and discharged. He appears to have been paid, or that there was paid on account of his having been wounded a liquidated sum of $ 6. 14. 4 from the Hospital fund, and it is respectfully submitted if the discharge referred to in the Certificate as having taken place at the time he was wounded was not a discharge into the hospital, instead of from the service, and that his actual discharge took place at a subsequent date when he was discharged from the Hospital.
Very Respectfully Yours Ob'tent. L. W. Bennett.

The affidavit of Daniel Brown is now returned with the attestation of the Co. Clerk, seal &c. I hope and trust, Sir, that there will be no further impediment in the way of the poor old man's receiving his certificate - and of course his Pension - which was payable on the 4 th of March last. He is in much need of it - and it will be a great favor to him, if you give the Bank of Burlington, immediate directions to pay it over —————
