That on the 16 th Mar AD 1779 I was commissioned an Ensign in the Seventh Connecticut Regiment in the Army of the United States, & did duty as such untill by a new Commission dated the 6 th of Septem- ber AD 1780 I was commissioned a Lieut- enant in the same Regiment & continued to perform Duty as such in the same Regiment, till the close of the revolution- ary war & was then honourably discharged during all which period said Reg t was commanded by Col H.

To Mrs W. L. Ellsworth
New Haven July 26 th 1843 -
Dear Madam
On a former occasion you gave me permission to address you - Also to take advantage of your respected husband's situation & have my letter franked
After you left town I concluded to go on with the subscription, to procure Dr Parkers bedding without farther information, & succeeded beyond expectations, & so much to the satisfaction of Mrs Parker that she expressed her thanks by saying "if every other comfort was denied she should have an abundance of bed linen to last her her whole voyage" - - I little thought that at that time, I should present a petition in my own behalf - But circumstances are such, that Mrs Taylor (who was in this morning) begged me to address you immediately and ask the favor of yourself & husband's assistance in ascertaining whither My Dear Fathers Recollections are in the war office & what they contain - Also, how we must proceed to procure the last six months pay - On the 13 th of July 1842 he had a slight paralysis which affected his left side without impairing his mind - But was unable to use his hand or foot to walk - from that time until Sunday the 9 th inst I have dressed & undressed & lifting him into bed like a child -
He was taken with an Influenza which continued during 10 days, when on Thursday morning - at 3 o'clock "his spirit returned to God who gave it" - During that period, he suffered, only, with a slight cough & weakness - Our Pastor Dr Bacon visited him & on the subject of religion was always calm & collected expressing no fears of death - conversed with us desperately on Wednesday morning - & then added he had nothing to do but to die - At the hour the mail arrived which brought

the information that Deacon Brien had received his armen he was probably struck with death - For his mind seemed to wander back to scenes in former days - He imagined there was an attack of the enemy - he ordered the windows closed, the shutters also - & tried to rally the troops - saying if the music not was to be found if some one would whistle the troops would go forward, "Oh!" he exclaimed if we had only Putnam for our leader, we should be sure of success. Mr Bacon came in at the time we were trying to compose him, & I feared he would not be able to converse, but as soon as Mr Bacon spoke, he expressed the same joy to see him, & to speak with the same clearness he had on former occasions - Mr Bacon was peculiarly struck as he lay on his sick chair with his staff in his hand, he would not be satisfied until we brought it - for said he, "I have to march so many miles that I cannot go without it" He laid it aside while conversing & during the prayer it again called for it. It was the last time he con- versed, he gradually declined until 3 o'clock on Thursday morning then left us without a struggle or a groan. And now respected Friends My Dear Mother, is 79 years old, & has walked with crutches almost 13 years. We have depended almost entirely on what My departed father received from Government & I ask the favour of your husband - Will he look and see if My father's papers can be found? He said Mr Calhoun deposited them in the War office When the Officers first received their pensions My Father petitioned with them & the others came on & My father was left back He wrote to know the reason and the answer was, he signed his name Henry Daggett As Esopus Daggett was then living & his hand writing was so much superior to the others that they thought him an impostor - Mr Calhoun who I think he said was Vice President at the time recollected him & his store opposite College & did all to get him his pension

He entered the army in the Spring of 1777 was in Col Swift's Regiment. also an inmate of his family - his secretary until October of the same year - When the first Quarters were taken Master & Col Swift gave it him - he retained the station until the Army was disbanded when two regiments were united & the Quarters master of the other regiment sent his petition to retain his situation. Col Swift gave my Father his choice - he said he be extinguished it to the other officer as it was a very laborious office & took a Lieutenant's commission and remained until the close of the war when he had that of a Capt. I again ask the favor (if those papers are not to be found) that you would write what course we can pursue (with the least expense) & what testimony is necessary to gain what my Father was entitled to in the Act of 1832 - a Quarters master pension & whether we can find it if his papers was burnt in the Office, for Mr Bacon says that afraid the mere - At this late hour it is almost impossible (giving) procure testimony Deacon Beers knows he had the commission but he not in the same regiment & therefore never saw him act. Dr Mouson will probably testify as far too knowledge and belief but was not - I believe Surgeon in another regiment. They were very anxious that my Father should apply at the time Deacon Beers did, but Judge Baldwin who came to draw the writings found his papers were in Washington said it had better be postponed until Deacon Beers came for if he obtained his, he was entitled to the same. Dr Mouson said life was so uncertain he wished to have it finished. But it was left until it was too late for my Departed father to do more - If you should think Henry Baldwin could be of any service I should make no hesitation to write him on the subject. I think there are few families who have given more their service to their

country at that time My Grandfather who was the first Theological professor of Yale College died of a wound received by the enemy - My Father's second Brother who, was with the Marquis La Fayette died at the siege of York town & he my Father served thro' the whole of the war

The application for a pension about which I asked a question or two last evening, was that of Henry Daggitt late of New Haven, a lieut. in the army of the Revolution. The proofs were furnished by Judge Bristol, and, as he told me, were returned not entirely satisfactory. The further proof required was transmitted him which nothing had been, when I left New Haven, heard from the War Department. Judge Bristol desired me to see the Secretary on the subject as my affidavit accompanied the papers. Will you have the goodness to let me know if a decision has yet been had on the claim, or, if any further explanations from me would be of use? I have the honor to be with great respect your old. serv t . David Daggitt

Will Col Edward do Mr. Baldwin the favor to let him know whether there is any thing due, either in money or land to the heirs of the late Lt Henry Dappett of New Haven on account of his Revolutionary services. Mr. Dappett died a few years since, in New Haven, at an advanced age, being a pensioner at the time of his death. Of course the particulars of his service will appear on his declaration & proof.

I Horace Daggett of the City and County of New Haven and State of Connecticut, now forty two years of age, being duly sworn, depose and say that I have often heard my father Henry Daggett, now deceased, speak of having been a Quarter Master in the revolutionary army; and I further say that the papers to which this "attached" were among the papers by him left at the time of his death; and further the deponent saith not. —

I have been well acquainted with Henry Daggett Esq., a distant relative of mine, for more than thirty years. He served, as I have been informed & firmly believe, in the army of the Revolution thro' the whole war with fidelity & at its termination held the office of Lieutenant. He has a large & expensive family and is in my judgment, merits the aid of his country. I cannot speak particularly of his pecuniary condition but have entire confidence in him as a gentleman of truth & integrity.

the war; since Daggett has once been considered as a highly meri- torious officer of the Revolution; and His character for honor and veracity stands as high as any in the community, and his decla- rations are eminently entitled to cred- it; He is now about sixty two years of age has a large and expensive family, has sustained very consid- able losses, and I do not consider his income adequate to his decent and comfortable support;

Sir:
Mr. Henry Daggett Junr. an officer of the Revolution, and a highly respectable fellow citizen of mine, has made an application, for back pay and for a pension under the act of the late session of congress. An application from Capt. Miles which went on at the same time, has been attended to, but Mr. Daggett has as yet received no answer, and he is apprehensive that there may have been some informality or mistake in the papers which he forwarded.
It has occurred to him, that perhaps the addition of "junior" to his name may be different from his name in his commission. As however there are three gentlemen in this city of the same name, he has for many years been known as Henry Daggett Junr.: though his signature when in the army was "Henry Daggett," merely without the Junr.!

Should there be any difficulty of this sort in the way of his application, you may rely on the facts being as I have herein stated: or should there be any other difficulty, it can be set right if you will either notify either him or me.
I know him to be a most worthy and deserving man, and feel on that account an interest in his success.
With great respect & regard
I am your obedt. servant W. L. Gingersoll
