I Daniel Bridges of York in the County of York and State of Maine, aged eighty one years, depose and say, that I was a soldier in the war of the revolution, having served several years in the Regiment commanded by Col. Jon a Cilley in the New-hampshire line. In the first of the year 1783, being Stationed about six miles back of Albany, in the State of New York, a fatigue party detached from several Regiments were ordered to construct a Bridge or causeway over a sunken Swamp, and being myself employed in constructing said Bridge, I became acquainted with Lieutenant George Darrow, who was at that time, according to the best of my recollection, a Lieutenant in Col. Jackson's Regiment in the Massachusetts line, and was an officer of the detached party engaged in the construction of the Bridge. I have no recollection of having seen said Darrow till that time. After the close of the war, said Darrow came to Maine and married Abigail Littlefield, daughter of Capt. Peter Littlefield of York and removed to Eastine Maine, at which place I next saw said Darrow and recognized him as the identical Lieutenant George Darrow, which was engaged in the service of the United States in the war of the Revolution. I cannot tell how long said Darrow served in the army of the Revolution, never having seen him, that I recollect, till near the close of the war.

Sir -
Yours of the 24 th relating to the Case of Abigail Darrow is rec d . - The evidence of the husband's death, it appears, is not quite satisfactory - I have known the widow, of George Darrow Darrow by acquaintance some 10 or 12 years - personally known her for about three years - She gained a settlement in the town of Eastine, where I reside, by virtue of her residence there in March 1821 & that town has since, occasionally, & for the last two or three years, continually contributed to her support, as a pauper - It is generally understood & believed there that her husband died as stated in the papers in this case - I never heard it questioned - The facts in this case, as to the husband's death, are such as

would enable her to obtain letters of administration on his estate, in that State, were it necessary -

Sir:
Replying to your request for the military record of George Darrow, a soldier of the Revolutionary war, you are advised that his widow, Abigail, made an application for pension in December, 1844, at which time she was a resident of Belfast, Me., and seventy-nine years of age, and in her declaration for pension she made the following statement concerning her husband's services:
"That she is the widow of George Darrow who was a sergeant, also lieutenant and captain, in the army of the Revolution seven years, according to the best of her recollection and belief, he having entered and served as a sergeant in Capt. Stephen Pearl's company of Col. Woodbridge's Regt.; commenced the first day of May, 1775, he then residing at New Canaan, and continued in said service as sergeant eight months; also according to the best of her knowledge and belief he afterwards, in the year 1776 or '77, was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Continental line and served in that capacity and as captain till the close of the war; was with the army at the capture of the British forces under Gen. Burgoyne; that she has seen her husband's

commissions in his possession many years ago, that said commissions have never been in her possession since his death and she has no doubt they are lost or destroyed."
One of the witnesses in the case stated that during the war he saw George Darrow at Albany, N. Y., and that he was serving at that time as a lieutenant in Col. Cobb's Mass. regiment; another witness stated that he saw Darrow in the year 1783 near Albany, N. Y., and that he was then serving as a lieutenant in Col. Jackson's Mass. regiment. There is also on file with the papers a certificate from the Comptroller's Office, State of New York, stating that one George Darrow was paid, in September, 1781, for his services as a private in the companies commanded by Captains Elihu Marshall and Silas Gray, Col. Marinus Willett's New York regiment, but neither the duration of such service nor the dates of his enlistment and discharge are mentioned. No other details of his services are given.
The soldier married Abigail Littlefield, at York, Me., on August 24, 1787. It is supposed that he died somewhere in the State of New York, about the year 1816, as he went to Albany on business at that time and was never heard from thereafter.
