Declaration
In order to obtain the benefit of the third section of the act of Congress of the 11th of July 1836.
State of New Hampshire } Sullivan ss.
On the 7th day of February 1837 personally appeared before Eleazer Jackson one of the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas for the County of Sullivan Eunice Cutler, a resident of Plainfield in the County of Sullivan State of New Hampshire aged 82 years, who being first duly sworn according to law doth on her oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress passed July 11. 1836. that she is the Widow of William Cutler, who according to her best knowledge and belief served in the war of the Revolution as follows: In the month of April 1776 he enlisted into Captain Osgood's Company of Col. Beedles N.H. Regiment for the term of one year, wherein he served accordingly as a Sergeant is not confident that she can now name all the places wherein he served out this year's engagement but believes he was at the west and northward; for some portion of the time at Tienderaga and also at a place called the Cedars where he was taken prisoner. He afterwards in the early part of the Winter of 1779 again engaged in a volunteer company commanded as she was told and as she believes by Captain Daniel Putnam of Cornish. This company was raised and officered as she understands by the authority of the State of New Hampshire and was filled up by enlistment or voluntary engagement of individuals from the several towns of Cornish, Plainfield & what was then called New Grantham to guard the frontier of New Hampshire and Vermont and was stationed mainly at said Cornish and Plainfield on the Connecticut River, wherein the said William Cutler was actively engaged as a Sergeant from the winter of 1779 to the autumn of 1780. She is not confident that she can name all the places to which he was called or ordered during this period of service but well recollects Cavendish Newbury & Houghton Vermont. He went to the latter place with a part or the whole of the company and

was then engaged for a while at the time the Indians burnt Roy- alton in October 1780, which she believes was the last or last but one tour of service that he performed; Is not sure but he was called to Newbury in November following, and there closed his service. She further declares that she was married to the said William Butler on the 30th day of December in the year Seventeen hundred seventy nine; that her husband the aforesaid William Butler died on the 10th day of February eighteen hundred and two; and that she has remained a widow ever since that period as will more fully appear by reference to the proof hereto annexed or ac- companying this declaration

I Hodges Cutler of Plainfield in the County of Sullivan and State of New Hampshire one of the New Hampshire surviving soldiers of the Army of the Revolution, aged 93 years, dispose and say that the declaration this day made by Isaac C. Sargent as administrator of the estate and rights of Eunice Cutler, who was the widow of William Cutler late deceased before George Bryant Esq in order in the right of said widow deceased to an increase of the Pension that was granted her in her life time has been read in my hearing and is well understood by me and believe to be true - William Cutler the husband of said Eunice Cutler deceased was as brother of mine and lived near by me through the whole period of the Revolutionary War and rendered as I have no doubt the several tours of service for which an allowance is now claimed by said Administrator in her right - I know that he first engaged for one year under Captain James Osgood of Col. Bedel's Regiment in the spring of the year and as I now think in the month of April 1776, but the length of that service I am unable to state - He was during its performance made a prisoner as was stated by him at the time and for some length of time held as such and finally exchanged - I know that he was again called into service at Saratoga in the month of September 1777 being then a Sergeant in Col. Chase's Regiment of N. H. Militia and that he started off with others just after my own return from a tour of service, his said tour at that time being for one month or upwards, of this I am confident - And as respects the next tour of his service for which an

allowance is renewedly claimed in her right by said Administrator, to wit the tour of volunteer service in Captain Daniel Putnam's Company of which John Stevens was at the time Lieutenant, commenced in the winter of 1779 and continued till the fall of 1780. I know that he rendered the same for I was myself at that time a private in said Company and engaged during that tour of service with him which was for the space of eighteen months or upwards during which time the said William Cutler was a Sergeant together with one Thomas West who as my recollection yet is was an other Sergeant of said Company and further this deponent saith not.

Increase of Pension State of New Hampshire } Sullivan County ss. }
On this 8 th day of October A.D. 1851 before the subscriber a Justice of the Peace within and for said County of Sullivan personally appeared Isaac C. Sargent a resident of Plainfield in said County aged upwards of 60 years who first being duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order in the right of Eunice Cutler deceased, to obtain the benefit of the Act of the 4 th of July 1836, and an increase of Pension under said Act - That Eunice Cutler who was the widow of William Cutler was at the time of her death a New Hampshire Pensioner of the United States under the Act of the 4 th of July 1836 at the rate of Thirty One Dollars and Eleven Cents per annum - That she died on the 23 d day of June 1842 - That on the 19 th day of October 1842 this declarant was duly appointed Administrator of the estate of said Eunice Cutler and as such he has never been discharged and is now acting in that capacity and as such feels in duty bound to assert what he believes to have been the right of said Eunice Cutler, that is to an allowance for all the service of her husband for which she claimed and as this declarant believes made proof to wit one year from the time of his engagement under Capt Osgood of Col. Bedel's New Hampshire Regiment in the spring of 1776 including the time that he was held a prisoner by the enemy, having fallen into their hands in an engagement at a place called the Cedars - And subsequently as a volunteer from the winter of 1779 to the Fall of the year 1780 in a Company of Volunteers commanded as this declarant has always understood by Captain Daniel Putnam then of Cornish N.H. a period of upwards of Eighteen months as a private and Sergeant, which tour of service together with a short tour at Royalton in the fall of 1780 this declarant believes from the repeated statements made by the said widow in her life time to have been faithfully performed, and so believing, he in the capacity of Administrator as aforesaid claims an increase to the Pension that was granted her as above stated under the Act of the 4 th of July 1836 praying a reexamination of the original declaration of said deceased and the proofs, by him supposed to be on file, to wit the depositions of St. John Stevens deceased and of Hodges Cutler - That as respects the tour of service under

Captain Osgood this declarant would further state that the length of the same has always been called and understood to have been a year and that one other, Charles Scott dec d , who was at the same time engaged with him claimed for and was allowed for a years service under the same Captain Osgood of Col. Bedels Regiment. The said Charles Scott was a N. H. Pensioner under the Act of the 18th of March 1818 and that his widow, Mary Scott was admitted to the N. H. Pension List at the rate of Forty Dollars per annum for the service of her husband under said Captain Osgood as this declarant has been told and does verily believe.
That the declarant claims an allowance for one tour of service of the said William Butler over and above that described as aforesaid which he has reason to believe was not known to his widow or was miscollected by her at the time of making her original declaration, to wit, one month or thereabouts as a Sergeant in Colonel Jonathan Chase's Regiment of N. H. Militia in the Autumn of 1777 - which last named tour of service he expects to be enabled to establish by one or more witnesses and by the Rolls at Concord -
That conformably to the Rules and regulations adopted by the Pension Office on the 18th of April 1851 - he lastly states on oath that he in the capacity of Administrator as aforesaid is directly interested in the claim above asserted to an increase of Pension.

I Eunice Butler of Plainfield in the County of Sullivan and state of New Hampshire widow of William Butler a Soldier of the Revolution late of said Plainfield deceased depose and say that in the month of February last before the Hon Eleazar Jackson Jr as the said Widow made a declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed July 4th 1836. the particular wording of which I cannot now repeat but in said declaration set forth substantially, that my late husband the said William Butler according to my best knowledge and belief did serve in the War of the Revolution for the space of one year from April 1776 as a Sergeant in Capt Osgood's Company - that he afterwards in the winter of 1779 engaged in a company under the command of Captain Putnam wherein he continued to serve as a Sergeant till the fall of the year 1780. I also further declared that I was married to the said William Butler previous to the last period of his service to wit on the 30th day of Dec r 1779 and that he died on the 10th day of February 1802 - I now feel satisfied that said declaration was true - And I do now further depose and say that I have of late caused a thorough search of the records of marriages of this town to be made but have found no record evidence of my marriage aforesaid - I well recollect that there were many persons present at the time of my marriage. two of whom are surviving witnesses to wit Hodge Butler of this town and Mary Chase now of Cornish - I further depose and say that I have not as yet since the investigation of my claim at the Pension Department been able to procure any further proof of my late husband's services -

Hodges butter & Affair

I, Hodge Butler of Painfield in the County of Sullivan and State of New Hampshire a soldier of the Revolution depose and say that I have seen the affidavit this day made by the Widow Eunice Butler before John Bryant Esq. a Notary Public for the State of New- Hampshire in reference to her declaration before the Hon. Hodge Dickson in February 1837 wherein she has set forth substantially the services of William Butler her late husband deceased, to wit, that in the month of April 1776 he enlisted into Capt. Osgood's Company for the term of one year, & his engaging in the service as a sergeant I am knowing, and I once saw him while performing the same at Bycanderoga - This at the time was called a year's service and might possibly have been commenced at an earlier period than that na- med by her, I know that he was previously engaged in en- listing men but for what length of time I cannot now state, - I also know that he afterwards engaged as by her stated at about the time she has named in a company then commanded by Captain Daniel Put- nam, wherein he continued to be an active member for nearly two years, ending in November 1780. - and the reason why I am not mistaken about this last named service is that I previously enlisted into the same company in December 1778 and continued a private therein till June 1780, when I was detached therefrom to go to West Point under the command of Capt. Stevens. She said Eunice declares that she was married to the said William Butler on the 30th day of

December 1779 and that Wills Reinball, she that is now Mary Shaw and myself were present. She also de- clares to be true, and that she has correctly stated the time of said marriage for I was myself married on the 18th day of February 1779. My first child was born on the 22 d of December 1779 and was a week old when the said William & Eunice were mar- ried. As respects the commencement of the service of said William Butler I further say that to my certain knowledge he had orders and was engaged in enlistment as a Sergeant for some length of time previous to his marching for the northwest in April 1776. While enlisting men he was stationed in this town (Plainfield N.H.) and was called a recruiting officer and as such went into a number of the neighboring towns. So that I am in- clined to the opinion, although I cannot state positively, that he was engaged in the manner above stated for the term of one year or thereabouts commencing in the winter of 1776 in the recruiting service and ending at the time of his return which was in January 1777. I know that he started from this town for the west or northwest with six re- cruits in the month of April 1776 for I went with him as far as Windsor in the state of Vermont. — Hodys Butler

Hand this paper to me when you have read them D. H. Hays
H. H. Hubbard B.R.

Eunice Butler of Plainfield in the County of Sullivan and State of New Hampshire, Widow of William Butler late of said Plainfield, a soldier of the Revolution, deceased depose and say that I now have at the War Department a pending claim under the act of the 4th of July 1836. that I made my declaration before the Hon. Eleazar Jackson some time in the month of February last wherein I set for- th in substance, that, according to my best knowledge and belief the said William Butler in the month of April 1776 enlisted into Captain Osgood's Company for the term of one year wherein he served accordingly as a Sergeant. That he afterwards in the early part of the winter of 1779 en- gaged in a Volunteer company commanded by Capt. Dan- iel Putnam of Cornish of which he was an active member till the autumn of 1780 being a period of one year and ten months or thereabouts in addition to his first service in Captain Osgood's company. - I further state in said declaration and which I now declare on oath to be true that I was married to the said William Butler on the 30th of December 1779 and that he died on the 10th day of February 1802. - I further depose and say that no pains have been spared in searching for records evidence of my said marriage but to no purpose. Nothing can be found in the office of the town Clerk of Plainfield nor in the office of the Town Clerk of Lebanon, the place of res- idence of the Rev. Mr. Potter, by whom I was married. Nor among the papers left by said Potter. We kept no family records and nothing can be proved by the ages of my children for I never had any. So that for the proof of my marriage which I am confident took place on the 30th December 1779 as before stated, I have to rely on Mills Kimball, Mary Chase and Hodge Butler, witnesses, who, have testified that they were present at my marriage and think I have correctly stated

the time. Hodge Butler is confident that I am correct about the time as he has the means of fixing it beyond doubt. I can at present add no further particulars in reference to my claim. —

Hon. H. Hubbard Senator N.S.

I Eunice Butler of Plainfield in the State of New Hampshire depose and say that on the 30 th day of December 1779 I was married to William Butler late of said Plainfield deceased who was a Soldier of the Revolution both before and after my marriage to him - that my husband the said William Butler died on the 10 th day of February 1802 - that after pass- age of the Act of July 4. 1836 I in the month of February 1837 made a declaration before the Hon. Elazar Jackson in order to obtain the benefit of said Act and my claim is still pending at the War Department In the declaration made as aforesaid I set forth what I did then and do still believe to be true in every particular I at that time in substance represented that my late husband commenced actual Service in the War of the Revolution as I always understood in the month of April 1776 and closed the same in the fall of the year 1780 - that he first engaged as I had been informed in one Capt Osgood's Company for one year as a Sergeant and afterwards in the fore part of the winter and I should think in the month of January 1779 in a Company commanded by one Capt Daniel Putnam It was then and is now my belief that under the first engagement he rendered actual service for the space of one year including the time that he spent in enlisting men for said years Service and that under the second abovenamed from January 1779 to November 1780 Of both periods of the above named I can obtain proof To the first by Hodges Butler to the latter by Capt John Stevens who was a Lieutenant under Capt Putnam and by said Hodges Butler they being the only survi- ving actors & witnesses to me known - Besides the above named -

portions of Service and over and above the same I believe in the years 1777 & 1778 my late husband the said William was frequently employed by the town of Plainfield with Daniel Kimball and others in scouting parties for which service for which service I suppose he was paid by said town of Plainfield As it so appears by records of said town of Plainfield

I John Stevens now residing at Grantham New Hampshire depose and say that I have long been acquainted with and have known the character of the widow Eunice Butler the maker of the foregoing affidavit before Judge Jackson on the fifteenth of September Inst and confidently believe the same to be wholly true, and indeed I know the same to be so, so far as relates to her husband's services from the 1 st of Jan y 1779 to the autumn of 1780 commenced under capt Daniel Putnam for I was myself at the same time a lieutenant of S d company; the origin of which was as follows. Sometime in the year 1778 as I now think when orders came for raising more men a company was formed by voluntary enlistment of men from the towns of Cornish Plainfield and New Grantham of which the following officers were appointed and duly commissioned by the then existing authority of the State of New Hampshire to wit Daniel Putnam of Cornish Captain, John Stevens of Plainfield (the deponent) Lieutenant and Robert Scott of said New Grantham Ensign. This Company after being duly organized and equipped performed actual service doing guard and other duties along the frontiers of New Hampshire and Vermont and the valley of the Connecticut River from the time of its formation or shortly after to the close of the war a period of about three years the services of S d company were not regarded as town or private services nor were its officers or men, to my knowledge ever allowed the least compensation by either of the towns

above named. The services I performed in said company I considered public service as much as the service I had previously rendered the Country as an officer at Goshen and vicinity in 1777.
Goodys Butler, I well recollect, was a member of S d company till detached therefrom to go to West Point in the summer of 1780 and I know of no other surviving members of S d company either officers or privates besides S d Goodys and myself

I further certify that I am satisfied from an other circumstance that the service of William Butler for which his widow the said Eunice claims allowance from the first of January 1779 to the 1 st Nov. 1780 was of a public character and that he was not employed or paid by the town of Plainfield, for having carefully examined the ancient records of said town from 1775 to 1781 I find no vote allowing soldiers pay for services after the 8 th of Nov. 1778 except as additional pay to such as should enlist into the service of the United States for the term of three years

I, Hodges Cutler, of Plainfield in the County of Sullivan and State of New Hampshire do hereby depose and say that I was in his life time well acquainted with William Cutler a Soldier of the Revolution. He was a brother of mine, & of course knew him before and through the War. I was also acquainted with his wife, formerly Eunice Adams, both previously and after her marriage, and up to the present time. I was present and saw them joined in Marriage by the Rev. Mr. Potter on the 30th day of December 1779. The said W m Cutler died the 10th February 1802. Since which time the said Eunice has never been married. I have seen the Declaration she the said Eunice made as the Widow of said William Cutler before the Hon. Eleazar Jackson on the 9th day of February 1837 in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of July 15th. 1836 which I fully believe to be true. I know that he enlisted in the manner set forth by her in Captain Osgood's company then of Concord, N. H. and that he went into service and served out as I always understood his time. I saw him while in service at P'keepsie in the State of New York. I also know that he engaged and served in the manner by her set forth in Captain Putnam's company for I was at the same time a member of said company till detached therefrom and ordered to West Point in the summer of 1780 and when I returned from West Point I found that the said William had gone to Royalton in the State of Vermont being the time that that place was burnt by the Indians. He was also afterwards engaged for some length of time at Newbury or Haverhill when Col. Johnson was taken by the Indians. I further depose and say, that I well recollect that when the said William Cutler first enlisted he enlisted as a Sergeant and that his bounties were given him for enlisting a certain number of soldiers.

I Will Kimball of Lebanon in the county of Grafton and state of New Hampshire a soldier of the Revolution formerly of Plainfield in the County of Sullivan aged 77 depose and say that I have seen the Declaration made by the Widow Eunice Butler of said Plainfield before the Hon Eleazer Dackson on the 7th day of February 1837 in order to obtain the benefit of the act of July 4th 1836 wherein she sets forth that she was married to William Butler on the 30th day of Dec r 1779 in which I think she is correct as to time. I was present and saw them married by the Rev Mr Potter. Her name while single was Eunice Adams. We at the time lived as neighbors in said Plainfield - As to the services of said William Butler as named in her declaration I well recollect the same or rather of hearing about said services at the time and have no doubt that he served in the manner stated by the said Eunice as a Sergeant. I did not happen to be personally engaged with him till ordered to Royalton in October 1780 being the time the Indians came in and burnt the town - We were immediately afterwards ordered and went to Newbury in the state of Vermont under the command of the late Maj Joseph Smith where we served for a short period - I do further depose and say that according to my

Joseph Kinyon's Affidavit, in support of Widow Eunice Gullerblaine

I, Joseph Kingon, now of Cornish in the County of Sullivan, and State of New Hampshire, depose and say that in the month of March 1780 I removed from Coventry in the State of Rhode Island to the town of Plainfield in the State of New Hampshire, and there soon afterwards became acquainted with William Cutter, late of said Plainfield deceased, who, as I understood, had been previously engaged in the Country's service, and who to my certain knowledge was afterwards so engaged; that is, soon after my first acquaintance with him. In the Month of Oct. 1780, at the time the Indians burnt Royalton in the State of Vermont, men were called for to repair forthwith to that place. The said William Cutter and myself were of the number who immediately marched to said Royalton, and were commanded by one Lieutenant Joseph Smith. After remaining there in service a few days, we were ordered to Newbury, Vt. where we also performed a short tour of service under the same Lieutenant Smith. The precise length of time we were engaged at each of said places, I am unable to state, but should think not exceeding 20 days in the whole. The above named is the only service of the said William Cutter, to which I was personally knowing, and that, I am confident he performed, for I served with him as a private, and he, at the same time, did the duty of a serjeant. I further depose and say, that Lieutenant Smith, under whose command we served, as above stated, has since deceased, and that I now think of no

one living, who was at the time a member of the company excepting myself. Witnesses (Hear. y) H. Hargrave Joseph his  marks Winyon John Bryant

Lieutenant John Stevens Affidavit in proof William Butler services from January 1779 to Nov r 1780

John Stevens at present a resident of Sharon in the County of Windsor and State of Vermont an officer of the Revolution de- pose and say that I have seen the affidavit of the Widow Eunice Cutter of Plainfield N.H. made before John Bryant Esq. a Notary Public for the State of New Hampshire on the 18th day of July instant, wherein reference is had to the Revolutionary services of William Cutter her husband late of said Plainfield deceased, to a part of which I am knowing, to wit, that portion thereof, as by her named, which was performed in Captain Daniel Patnams Company of Volunteers. That Company was raised by the authority of the State of New Hampshire for the service, and was officered and commissioned according -ly. and was filled up either by enlistment or voluntary engage- ment. I was myself a Lieutenant of said Company. and the said William Cutter and Hodge Cutter were both at the same time active members thereof. The said William rendered actual service therein as I now believe, for the term of time specified by said Eunice. that is from the winter of 1779 to the autumn of 1780. John Stevens

War Department, Pension Office, May 5. 1837.
Sir,
I have received the additional evidence in the cases of Hannah Kimball and Eunice Butler, of Plainfield; - the former I have admitted, and will forward to your care her certificate of pension, in a few days. The papers of Mrs Butler remain upon our files.
Twelve months' service is claimed, in the year 1776, under Captain Osgood. This service terminated in December 1776; and as Mr Butler did not enter until April, he could have served but 9 months. This may be allowed as private.
No trace of the service alleged to have been rendered under Captain David Putnam, can be found upon the New Hampshire rolls; nor does it appear that it was any thing other than an occasional and voluntary service, rendered by the members of a company of local militia. The service upon the alarm of Royalton in 1780, is proved by the testimony of Woodges (Butler). It was, however, but of a few days continuance; not exceeding 10, or 12 days.
As some further explanation may be made in relation to the service of Captain Putnam, before any definite action be had on the case,

I will suggest to you, whether the date of Mrs Butler's marriage may not be more satisfactorily established by the production of the family record; or proof as to the ages of her children.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obt servt J. L. Edwards

Sir,
Having reason to suspect that Mrs Eunice Butler late a New Hampshire Pensioner of the United States under the Act of July 4. 1836, was not allowed for all the services her husband William Butler performed. I as Administrator of the Estate of said Eunice Butler have to request a reexamination of the papers in her case together with such others as may be presented under the Agency of H. H. Sylvester Esq in order to a further allowance if found to be due.
Very respectfully, Isaac Sargent

Eunice Butler dec d , has N.H. claimant to increase of Pension - Act 4 th July 1836
Proofs of service and identity

In order to the support of a claim to an increase of the Pension that was on the 6 th day of December 1839 granted to Eunice Cutter late of Plainfield in the County of Sullivan and State of New Hampshire deceased who was the widow of William Cutter the subscriber as administrator of the Estate of said Eunice Cutter would hereby respectfully request.
The Secretary of the State of New Hampshire to furnish evidence from the rolls in his office of the service and all the service of said William Cutter in the War of the Revolution both as a private and Sergeant which the Subscriber has always understood to have been somewhat as follows.
In the spring of the year 1776 the said William Cutter together with Charles Scott enlisted into the company of a Captain Osgood of Col. Bails Regiment for one year as a sergeant which tour of service is believed to have been fully performed by said Cutter according to his engagement a part of which it is believed was rendered at or near Montreal and a place called the Cedars where he was made a prisoner and for some length of time held as such and it was a full year from the time he entered the service till the time of his return. His next tour as has always been understood by this applicant was for the space of one month or upwards as a sergeant in the latter part of the year 1777 in Col. Chases Regiment.
His next engagement as has been represented to this applicant was in the fore part of the year 1779 as a volunteer in a company commanded

by a Captain Putnam under whom he was engaged as a sergeant in scouting and guard service till the fall season of 1780 including service at the time of the Royalton Alarm in the month of October 1780.

State of New Hampshire. Secretary of State's Office.
I do hereby certify, that from an examination of the Books and Documents relating to military services in the war of the Revolution, which remain in this office, it appears that the name of William Butler is borne upon "A part of a Pay Roll of Capt. James O'Good Company in Col. Bedel's Regiment" as follows: —
"We the subscribers as soldiers do acknowledge that we have received of Israel Morey Esq. for the hands of Ensign Charles Hill (as one of the Paymasters of said Regiment) the several sums prefixed to our names, including one penny for mile computed to Head Quarters Oxford". — "William Butler Private, Time of engagement, April 10. 1776; Age 28; Rate per month 40/; Wages. 2. 0. 0.; Bounties 2. 0. 0.; Blankets 15/; Towns names, Plainfield; Miles traveled 28; Billeting 0. 2. 4; Sum Total 4, 17. 4; (William Butler". On the same Roll is borne the name of Charles Scott of Lymantham — Time of engagement &c. the same as said Butler's.
Army Rolls Vol. 8. Page 161.

And upon "A list of Capt. James Osgood's company in Col. Timothy Bedel's Regiment ledars", is borne the names of William Cutler and Charles Scott. And on the same page is the following:—
"Isole Aux Noix June 24th. 1776.
This is to certify that all the men mustered at Montreal were all equipt with arms, and received their bounty one months pay and a blanket each. The reason of this certificate is that the muster Rolls with other papers during Col. Bedel's absence were left with me at the Cedars, and during the time of the siege, to secure them from falling into the enemies hands, I deposited them said papers with some of my own behind the ceiling of the room I live in, but the fort being taken I never had any opportunity to get them, being within the enemies lines, so imagine they remain there to this day, all which I declare upon honour.

To whom it may concern."
Vol. 8 Page 239.
And upon a "Pay Roll of Col. Jonathan Chase's Regiment of Militia which marched from Cornish in the State of New Hampshire Sept. 1777 and joined the Continental Army

under General Gage near Saratoga" is borne the name of William Cutler, Sergeant; Entry Sept. 23.; Discharge Oct. 23.; Time in service, 1 mo. 1 day.; Rate pr. month 5.1. 8.; Amount wages 115; Travel to Saratoga 3 pr. mile out & D. home, 2.17.11; Whole amount 7.9.2".
(Vol. 2 Page 43.
As to the length of time the said William Cutler was engaged in service under Capt. James Osgood, I am unable to determine the same, there being no record of the time of his discharge.
I further certify that I am satisfied that there was considerable N. H. service performed in the war of the Revolution of which no evidence appears in this office; and that I find no Roll of Capt. Putnam's company, to which reference is had in the application herunto attached.
Given under my hand and the seal of the State this tenth day of October 1857.
