State of Vermont County Orange Town of West Fairlee
The Secretary of the Commonwealth of the State of Massachusetts is hereby requested to furnish evidence from the Rolls in his office of the Service of Joseph Dazgett, in the war of the Revolution. He enlisted from the town of Rehoboth in the County of Bristol in the State of Mass- achusetts and served in all about three years, as I have been informed and verily believe but I do not know the names of his officers. I have understood that he first entered the service as a waiter to an officer & was subsequently a private. The said Dazgett would now be about 82 years old if now living.
I am unable to give any further particulars than above stated to aid in the search And do hereby constitute & appoint Stephen Thomas of West Fairlee in the State of Vermont my attorney in the premises.

Before Me Abiah Bean Justice of Peace

Pension Office, September 12th 1848.
Sir,
In the case of Mercy Wall, deceased, formerly widow of Joseph Daggett, some evidence more certain than that now introduced identifying her with the soldier bearing her name credited with service from the Town of Rehoboth and also showing that they were married prior to 1794 should be furnished.
It should be made to appear that Mrs Wall's first husband belonged to Rehoboth during the Revolutionary War - that he was recognized by his neighbors and acquaintances as a Revolutionary soldier, and that when she was married to her last husband her name was Daggett. The marriage should be established by a family record or documentary proof if attainable.
If evidence of this grade cannot be procured the witnesses who testify should show by some well remembered fact associated with that event by which they have been enabled to retain the date thereof to this

late period.
I am, very respectfully, Oliver A. D. Smith. J. S. Camard By H. S. Evans
