I Samuel Daffett of Dedham in the County of Nor- folk and Commonwealth of Massachusetts being a resident citizen of the United States testify and say, that I served as a private in the United States Service in the revolutionary war from May 1775 for eight months in a Company com- manded by Capt John Crane being a Company of Artillery in Genl Greene's brigade - before or about the expiration of that time I was appointed a Second Lieutenant in a company of artillery commanded by Capt Ebenezer Stevens and in the Regiment commanded by on the Continental establishment Col. Henry Knox; that my time of Service commenced on the first of January 1776 although my Commission did not take date as of that day, but as of the twenty third day of the same January, which was done as I understood to determine my rank in said Regiment that I served as Second Lieutenant in said Company & Regiment of Artillery one year from the said first day of January and was then honorably discharged, my time of service having expired by first Service as a private as above mentioned was at Roxbury principally at Lamb's dam near the line of the town of Boston. My years Service as Second Lieutenant commenced at Cambridge from which we marched about the latter part of March 1776 for Canada, and served the residue of the Campaign after our arrival there at and about St Johns, Montreal, Cham- blee, Fort Ann, Lachine on the river Sorel; about Lake Champlain &c. In the autumn of that year being sick with the fever & Ague a furlough was offered me by Genl Horatio Gates then the commanding Officer, which I accepted and re- turned home, continuing sick till my term of Service expired. - I further testify say that afterwards in the year 1778 I served as a Lieutenant in the State Service at Rhode Island six weeks at the time of Genl Sullivan's retreat, - in Coll St  St Lister's Regiment & the Company commanded by Capt Ebenezer Dyer and was honorably discharged in the month of September that year. my time of Service having expired - I further

That in pursuance of the Act of May 1 st 1820 he exhibited a schedule of his whole estate & income and took the oath required before the court on the 17 th day of July 1820, that a copy thereof and of the opinion of the court duly certified was thereupon forwarded to the Secretary of war and in consequence, his name was stricken from the pension list.

And in pursuance of the act of the first of May 1820, I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18 th of March 1818 & that I have not since that time, by gift, sale or in any manner disposed of my property or any part thereof with intent thereby so to diminish it as to bring myself within the provision of an act of Congress entitled "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land & naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary War" passed on the 18 th of March 1818 and that I have not neither has any person in trust for me any property or securities contracts or debts due to me, nor have I any income other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed & by me subscribed & that since the exhibition of my first schedule the following changes have been made in my property.

Schedule of Property exhibited by Samuel Doggett in the preceding statement & not now owned by him and which has been disposed of in the following manner.
   Description of property to whom sold time of sale amount received     Real Estate consisting of small lot of land & buildings thereon out of repair & subject to widows dower John Doggett & Samuel Doggett Jr. to pay them for cash advanced to me annually since 4 th March 1820. 31 st Jan. 1828 $ Cts 2500. 00   Horse & chaise horse 25 years old Betsey Clapp to pay a debt. 31 st Jan. 1828 50. 00   one cow, — killed & the proceeds disposed of in my family several years since 20. 00   two swine killed & used up in my family 1820 — 20. 00   Mechanical tools sundry persons sundry times 40. 00   one note of hand collected & the proceeds spent for necessary support of my family — — — — — — — — 5 00. 00   3180. 00  
Since the 4 th March 1820, my necessities have compelled me to spend the above sum for the necessary support of myself & family; it may be found by computation that about three hundred dollars per annum with interest for eight years annually will amount to a larger sum than the above.

My only Sons John & Samuel on finding that I was stricken off from the pension list in 1820 & that I had no property or income of consequence, but the unproductive real estate abovenmentioned, entered into an agreement at that time to advance to me in equal proportions, whatever money should be necessary for my support. Accordingly they have advanced to me in cash every year for eight years past the sum of two hundred & fifty dollars, which I have expended as beforementioned, and upon settlement with them in the latter part of January last: It was found that I owed them the sum of twenty five hundred dollars.
They had no security from me for these advances but my word of honour, they however looked to my estate for their pay & if I had deceased before I had received the full value of it, it would have descended to them with my daughter as my only heirs at law: but as I have lived to receive & spend the full value of it, I have now conveyed it as in law & duty bound. I had repeatedly promised them that my estate should answer their debt & refused to part with or transfer the same to any body else when solicited.

I Jeremy Stimpson of Dedham in the County of Norfolk & State of Massachusetts Physician upon oath do say that I have been the regular Physician in the family of Mr. Samuel Doggett for eight years last past - that he has always paid me in cash for my services.
From what I know of his family & his personal infirmities I consider it necessary that he should have the attendance of a nurse boy or girl all the time - he has had one or the other all the time for eight years past to my knowledge & the expense of such a attendance in this place must necessarily have cost about $100 per year, including their wages & board & all expenses. —
The amount which he has paid me for my services I will not undertake to state - but he has several receipts from me - I am not related to him nor have I any interest in the event of his application.
Jeremy Stimpson
Norfolk ss. April 22 d 1828.

J. H. Cobb Esq. Affidavit
[Faint, mirrored handwritten text, likely bleed-through from the reverse side of the page]
[Faint, mirrored handwritten text, likely bleed-through from the reverse side of the page]

Jonathan H. Cobb of Dedham in the County of Norfolk & Commonwealth of Massachusetts Counsellor at Law, do testify & say, that I made the conveyance from Lt. Samuel Doggett, of his estate to his sons in January last, that the consideration was twenty five hundred dollars, made up as follows: two hundred & fifty dollars annually advanced in cash by his sons for eight years last past, which amounted as I cast it to twenty four hundred & seventy nine dollars & odd cents, interest annually or compound interest at 6 per cent being reckoned. the balance was made up to him in provisions as stated by him. I believe twenty five hundred dollars to be more than the full value of his estate as it was when he sold it. In fact I should not consider it worth more than $2000. I own an estate adjoining & have lived on it for six or seven years last past & have been acquainted in his family.

To the best of my knowledge & belief he has had no income during the eight years aforesaid, other than some trifling rents for a part of his estate sold as aforesaid & the money advanced by his sons as aforesaid. He has expended to my knowledge during the eight years past, about three hundred dollars a year in the following ratio viz. — for wood fuel — $50. for the assistance of a boy or girl or nurse one or the other all the time, $100. for necessary provisions, clothing doctors bills & taxes $150. — I consider this, with his necessaries a prudent expenditure & In my opinion he is now in such indigent circumstances that he is incapable of supporting himself without the aid of government or except by public or private charity, & is in all respects worthy & entitled to his Country's bounty.

Hon Secy of War.
Sir. I have the honor to enclose to you the affidavits of Ben d Guild Maj r Mason and J. H. Cobb Esq r as further evidence in the case of Samuel Doggett who has recently applied for a pension. The Deponents are all very respectable persons in this Village, and are his nearest neighbors and presume well acquainted with his circumstances.
For many years I have known the Applicant, who has always been considered a worthy and industrious man, formerly was the Gaoler in this County in which capacity he acquired a comfortable support, but owing to ill health and decrepitude was obliged to relinquish the situation, is now very infirm, incapable of performing any business, and must derive his support with his Wife from his affectionate Children, unless he obtains some relief on account of his revolutionary services. I should think him entitled to a pension for the same.
Respectfully Your Humble Servt.

Hon Sec y of War.
Sir
I am again requested, and beg leave to transmit to you the papers of Samuel Doggett an applicant for a pension, with some additional testimony, which he has procured, and such as the nature of his case admits, and which he hopes will prove satisfactory. The additional evidence adduced tends to show the fairness of the transaction between him and his sons, to whom he conveyed his property, by explaining the manner in which the money he received for the same has been for several years appropriated. The new testimony tends to show that the expenditures of the Claimant for the last eight years (since he was stricken from the pension list) have amounted to $3307.37 as follows. viz
Yearly expenses.

3044.00
To which add the amount of his taxes for the last 8 years as per Receipts herewith transmitted 102.97 Also sundry receipts for monies paid for things not mentioned in any affidavit (as per Rec d enclosed) 160.40 making expenditures for last 8 years $3307.37
From this sum it may be proper to deduct for rents received as by the Dep n of Gen Brink 400.00 (not exceeding $50 per) 2907.37
This evidence goes to show the application of the money advanced to him as stated by his sons viz of $250 per annum, also the note of hand of $500 as mentioned in his schedule, which has been collected and expended.
As the Applicant did not expend this money with any view of ever having to give an account of it, it is impossible for him at this time to be so exact as he could wish. He respectfully solicits a re-examination of the evidence in his case, with the further evidence herewith transmitted, and ardently prays for a favourable result.
I am acquainted with Deponents whose testimony is enclosed, they are persons of fair character in this place.
With sentiments of respect I am Your Ob dt Servant

time I believe him to be in such indigent circumstances as to be unable to support himself without the assistance of his Country & that he must be supported either in that way or by public or private charity.

I Eliphalet F Mason of Didham in the County of Norfolk & Common- wealth of Massachusetts Gentleman, on oath declare that I have been acquainted with Mr Samuel Doggett, now an applicant for his pension, for ten or fifteen years past. I own I have lived upon the Estate adjoining that formerly owned by him. Mr Doggett & his Wife are very old and feeble & have had no income for ten years past to my knowledge except that furnished by his Sons & the rent of part of his real Estate now sold. that the necessities of himself & Wife have required for ten years past the sum of three hundred dollars per year. I do not think the Estate lately owned by him to be worth more than two thousand dollars. As that is about all the property he had and as he has spent that, I believe him to be in such indigent circumstances as to require the aid of Government; otherwise he must be supported by public or private charity I am none akin to him or any other way interested for him than as a neighbour;

but from the knowledge I have of his circumstances should believe him justly worthy of a pension. E. F. Mason
