Sir, I am not in the habit of troubling the department with Remarks or Solicitations upon the applications by me transmitted but in this instance permit me Sir to observe that the applicant to my own knowledge as respects his pecuniary circumstances & health is all that he has represented himself in his declaration — He is frail & entirely dependent. He has been so since he came to this Country — surely he is such would come within its provision as was contemplated by the makers of the Law, —
With Regard to the deed made to the purchase of his farm it could only be corroborating evidence of the sale I attended with so much trouble to procure that I am induced to believe it will not be required by the Department —
Respectfully Sir
Your obedient Servt.

To the Hon Secy of War
According to the directions of Mr. Curtice I have sent to Vermont and have procured the Deed which I gave to David Dewey and the affidavits respecting the Mortgage Deed given to James Frieser which you will see which Mr. Curtice said was all that was wanting to our petitions respecting the affidavits of my creditors which would almost be impossible as it was to count the stars of Heaven. here I am between 7 and 8 hundred miles from them without money on anything else for to perform such a Journey now in old age and I fear that that I am unable to do anything towards my support and to send there where I have nothing that will will take the trouble to hunt up all my Creditors without a compensation which I cannot pay How here I am old weak and infirm without any source to look to for my support but to the mercy of the People My best days are spent and they are spent to go for the Service of my Country never have I enjoyed the health since I left the Service that I did before I went South for me to undertake to tell all the hardships that I endured would require more of a penman than I am you nor no other Person knows excepting those who fought and bled the same war with me where we gained the Independence of America Now here I am poor and unable to perform what you might trust the board of my just right and due or your mercy will not refuse deny me. If you should be so good as to grant me this request.

It can't be but but a few more years according to the course of nature and the debility of my present situation before I shall be done calling on my country  for any boddice for any thing. But a decent set grave and grave clothing which I must cannot be long at farthest I think that if you will take it into a serious considera- tion that you will grant me the small sum of $96 per year. I think if you could only see my situation you would not deny me or at any rate you would give me enough to clothe my self from the cold winter which is fast approaching I shall right now one but shall leave it to your honor to grant me my request

What you have already furnished concerning Gideon Daggett, assure me he is the one I wish to hear about. Undoubtedly, Hon. Rollin M. Daggett, may have been slightly in error regarding his receiving the wound at York-Town. For the Daggett family I am using every effort to trace. Were originally from Attleborough. Your information renders me sanguine of success in tracing a common lineage. Between Gideon & John, mentioned as pensioners. Accept my sincere thanks please for your kind response to my several enquiries. & if it will not cause you too much trouble I would be greatly pleased to receive also Gideon Daggett's History, as there written. Daggett being an uncommon cognomen. I feel certain every one mentioned there are in some way related to the main line of the family, as I find but few

Madam,
Feby 14. 1889
In accordance with your request of the 7th inst for information of John Daggett of Conn and Gideon Daggett - no residence given - both of whom served in the war of the Revolution, the latter wounded at Yorktown (1781), you will receive herewith endorsed, a statement, on separate sheets of so much history of John Daggett, as is contained in his application for pension -
A Gideon Daggett has been found inscribed on the pension roll who enlisted at Sutton Worcester Co Mass & was discharged in Feby 1780, but did not state that he was in Service thereafter, or that he was wounded. He complained of a pain in his breast which prevented hard farm labor. After this was he lived in Poultney, Rutland Co Vt, then in Ohio, & St Lawrence Co NY and died in Ohio Augt 27. 1838. He had a wife Elizabeth who was dead before leaving Vt about 1823
The applicant was allowed his pension under the act of March 18 1818 the first law passed for Service in said war, which required 9 months in one enlistment on the Continental establishment & the soldiers did not usually specify other service than was necessary to establish their "title" to pension - As far as known, only the Continental soldiers from the north of Pen na were present at Yorktown Vt in 1781
Under these circumstances the pensioner Gideon Daggett could not be identified as the one of your enquiry, but as he might later be found in some you should be able to identify him with the above, Service & residence of the pensioner was the one whose history his history is desired & will be furnished - For your

during the war to be Several of information it is stated that the Daggett family in Mass s appear located in Bristol County which adjoins Worcester County, & some born in Attleborough Bristol Mass s were Subsequently distinguished citizens of Conn t
This Bureau is unable to give the address information of Hon. Rollin
St. Daggett but he having been a minister to the Sandwich Island it is suggested that you might obtain it from the State Dept and as regards Albert Daggett late member of Congress from Brooklyn his whereabouts may be learned by application to Felix Campbell who v may be the next Congress is the present member from that place in next Congress
