BA-J/ILL Thomas Crawford S. 30969 William Crawford W. 5256
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Thomas Crawford and William Crawford, father and son, who served in the Massachusetts Artillery, William having died in Gardiner, Maine, at the age of eighty-three years. You cite a Thomas Crawford who died in 1773, aged fifty-six years, and is buried in Boston, Massachusetts.
The records have been found of a Thomas Crawford and a William Crawford, not father and son, who served in the Massachusetts Artillery in the Revolutionary War. Their records follow as found in the claims for pension based upon their service in the Revolutionary War. This office has no record of the Thomas Crawford who died prior to the Revolutionary War.
THOMAS CRAWFORD S. 30969
Thomas Crawford was born August 23, 1756 in Boston, Massachusetts; the names of his parents are not shown.
While a resident of Georgetown (the part which was later Bath), Lincoln County, District of Maine, then in Massachusetts, Thomas Crawford enlisted in January 1776, served as private in Captain Silas Wild's company, Colonel Phinney's Massachusetts regiment, assisted in driving the British from Boston, afterwards went to Ticonderoga, was in many skirmishes on Lake Champlain and continued until about March 1777, when he was discharged. He enlisted in April 1777, and served four months in Captain Edes' company of Artillery, during which he was at Providence, Rhode Island. After returning to Boston, he entered the sea service on board the armed Brig, "Boston"; no further details of this later service were given.
Thomas Crawford was allowed pension on his application executed

April 27, 1818, at which time he resided in Bath, Lincoln County, District of Maine; he had continued to reside there ever since the Revolutionary War. His name was dropped from the pension roll under the Act of May 1, 1820, because he owned too much property to draw pension under that Act. His name was restored to the pension roll under the Act of June 7, 1832, at which time he resided in Bath, Maine.
In 1820, the soldier's wife, Frances, was aged sixty-seven years; her maiden name and the date and place of their marriage were not given. Two daughters, Frances, aged thirty-two years, and Mary, aged twenty-six years, were living at home in 1820.
The soldier died April 17, 1837.
In 1832, William Crawford, aged seventy-three years, resided in Gardiner, Maine; he lived in Georgetown, Massachusetts, when Thomas Crawford entered service in the Revolutionary War and served in the same company with him in 1777. No relationship between these two was stated.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, and name of person paid, you should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, this city, and cite the following:
Thomas Crawford Certificate #18238 Issued August 2, 1833 Rate $83.33 per annum Commenced March 4, 1831 Act of June 7, 1832 Maine Agency.
WILLIAM CRAWFORD-W. 5256.
William Crawford was born in Boston, Massachusetts; the date of his birth and the names of his parents are not shown.
He enlisted in September 1777, and served six months in Captain Jonathan Edes' company, Colonel Thomas Crafts' regiment of Massachusetts

Artillery, a part of the time at Providence, Rhode Island; he re-enlisted in March 1778, served as bombardier or gunner in that same company, was in the battle of Rhode Island and was discharged in December 1780, at Boston. In May 1781, he entered as a marine on board the Galley, "Chester" or "Concord", Captain Jonathan Nicholson, served three months and was discharged at Baltimore, Maryland; he went immediately to Philadelphia, shipped as a marine on a Brig of twelve guns (name not given), Captain Jonathan Nicholson, and while off Cape Henry, said Brig was lost; he was discharged in April or May 1782, at Cape Henry.
In 1818, William Crawford resided in Litchfield, Lincoln County, Maine District; he moved after September 1820, to Gardiner, Maine.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 9, 1832, at which time he was aged seventy-two years; he resided in Gardiner, Kennebec County, Maine. He lived there until his death on October 3, 1841.
William Crawford married September 3, 1820, Miss Martha or Patty Niles, of Bowdoin; they were married by a Minister in Litchfield, Maine District, where the soldier resided then.
Martha, or Patty Crawford, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed August 22, 1853, at which time she resided in Gardiner Maine. She was aged then seventy-six years; the date and place of her birth and the names of her parents are not shown.
No reference was made to children of William Crawford and his wife, Martha or Patty.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name of person paid, and, possibly, the date of death of this pensioner, you should address The Comptroller General, this city, and cite the following:
Martha Crawford, widow of William Crawford, Certificate #2461, issued October 15, 1853 Rate $100 per annum, commenced February 3, 1853 Act of February 3, 1853. Maine Agency.

Sir,
I herewith return to you the papers of Thomas Crawford, which have been examined.
He has not stated the lengths of the two last periods of his service with sufficient precision. It is necessary, in order to determine the amount of pension to which he may be entitled, that he should specify them with the most accurate distinctness. His papers are not attached properly. One sheet should not be wafered to another, but they should be connected by a piece of tape, or narrow ribbon, passing under the seal of the officer who makes the certificate authenticating the papers.
I am respectfully
Your Obet. Servt.
J. B. Edwards
This applicant, has caused his application to be amended - He states his term of service on land to be nineteen months. The testimony of William Crawford proves that his name is found on the muster roll of Col. Deamer Sewall, which was made out when this applicant went into the service, and is herewith annexed.

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Thomas and William Crawford of Georgetown, (Bath) Maine, both applicants for pension.
The records of these two soldiers are furnished you herein as found in pension claims, based upon their service in the Revolutionary War.
THOMAS CRAWFORD-S. 30969.
Thomas Crawford was born August 23, 1756 in Boston, Massachusetts; the names of his parents were not given.
While a resident of Georgetown (the part which was later called Bath), Lincoln County, District of Maine (then in Massachusetts), he enlisted in January 1776, served as private in Captain Silas Wild's company, Colonel Phinney's Massachusetts regiment, assisted in driving the British from Boston, afterwards went to Ticonderoga, was in many skirmishes and continued until about March 1777, when he was discharged.

After returning to Boston, he entered the sea service on board the armed Brig, "Boston"; no further details of this later service given.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 27, 1818, at which time he resided in Bath, Lincoln County, Maine District, where he had resided ever since the declaration of peace in 1783.

In 1818, William Crawford resided in Litchfield, Lincoln County, Maine District; he moved sometime after September 1820, to Gardiner, Kennebec County, Maine.
William Crawford was allowed pension on his application executed May 9, 1832, at which time he was aged seventy-two years. He lived in Gardiner, Maine, until his death, October 3, 1841.
