Wauseon, Ohio.
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter relative to Moses Dibble, a Revolutionary War pensioner.
The data furnished herein are obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 27931, based upon the service of Moses Dibol in that war.
Moses Dibol, the name also appears Dibble, was born in Granby, Hartford County, Connecticut; the date of his birth and names of his parents are not given.
He enlisted in May, 1776, in Granby, Connecticut, served one year as private in Captain Noah Phelps' Company, Colonel Andrew Ward's Connecticut Regiment and was in the battles of White Plains and Trenton; shortly after, he served about nine weeks in Captain Adonijah Burr's Company, Colonel Mead's Connecticut Regiment; he enlisted in October, 1777, served three weeks at Saratoga and was at the taking of Burgoyne, officers names not stated; soon after, he served ten days as a guard to Albany; he enlisted in the summer, 1778, served two months in Captain William Judd's Connecticut Company, this service as substitute for his brother, Dan Dibble.
Pension was allowed on his application executed August 3, 1832, at which time he was a resident of Granby, Hartford County, Connecticut, and aged seventy-five years.
He died November 6, 1832 in said Granby, Connecticut.
The soldier married March 10, 1784 in Granby, Connecticut, Elisabeth Hoskins.
His widow, Elisabeth Dibble, was allowed pension on her application executed August 20, 1838, at which time she was a resident of Granby, Connecticut, aged about seventy-three years. She was living there in 1848.

In 1838, Jerusha S. Dibble was a resident of Granby, Connecticut, no relationship to the soldier stated.
see In 1838, Lurana Dibble was a resident of Granby, Connecticut, aged seventy-five years and a widow, and stated at that time that Moses Dibble, the soldier, was her husband's brother. She did not give the name of her husband.
The above history is that of the only soldier named Moses Dibel, under any spelling of that surname, found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Assistant to Administrator.

Hanson, Ohio, Feb. 6, 1932
Pension Bureau Washington D. C. Dear Sirs:
Comm. Men in Rev., p 471, states Sergt. Moses only Dibble arrived in N.Y. Aug. 18; dis. Sept 6; was in Capt. Buttolph's Co. On p 657, I found Moses Dibble, pensioner residing in Hartford Co.
For several years I have had this information, but I thought no pensions were granted until 1833, so the pensioner Moses Dibble in all probability was the son of my gr gr grandfather Moses Dibble b 1730 in Simsbury Conn. In 1790 Moses Dibble lived in Granby Conn. as also no doubt did Moses Dibble Jr. b 1757.

Do your pension records indicate which Moses served in the Rev.? If it was Moses Sr. I should be glad of his official record with any family history you may have.
Sincerely Yours

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Dibah Eliza Dibble which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? yes II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? yes III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so? IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? yes V. * Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled? yes VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? yes VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? yes VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? yes IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? yes X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal? yes

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? yes XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it? XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had? XIV. † If the applicant's name is not found on the rolls of military service, has he produced a witness or witnesses as to his service? If he has produced direct proof as to service, has the magistrate who administered the oath, certified to the credibility of the witness or witnesses? yes  no Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the regulations direct? yes  no XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service? yes XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? yes XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered?
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____ For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
† QUERE XIV.  Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
‡ QUERE XVI.  Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
¶ In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

I Elyah Holcomb of Southwick in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts being duly sworn do testify and say that I am well acquainted with Mose Dibble of Granby in Hartford County and State of Connecticut and know that he served in the army of the American Revolution. We enlisted together in the month of May 1776 and served until May 1777 when we were discharged. We both enlisted in the company commanded by Broah Phelps in the Regiment commanded by Andrew Ward. We were both in the Battle of White Plains and also at Trenton. We were discharged in Chatham near Morristown. No man sustains a better character for truth and honesty than the said Dibble.
