APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATE OF REVOLUTIONARY SERVICES, MADE BY THE Widow OF THE PARTY WHO RENDERED THE SERVICE.
The Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is hereby requested to furnish evidence from the Rolls in his office, of the service of my late Husband Thomas Hatch in the war of the Revolution.
He was a native of the Town of Pembroke in the County of Plymouth and State of Massachusetts . He enlisted from the Town of Pembroke in the County of Plymouth and State of Massachusetts in the year 1776 as a Private in the Company commanded by Captain William Weston in Regiment and he served
as follows, viz:— Six months on the Gurnet a fort at the entrance of Plymouth harbor— and also two months in 1777 as a substitute for William Hatch, on the Gurnet under Captain Andrew Sampson — He enlisted again to serve in the Continental Army the first of June 1780 and marched to Springfield, where he passed muster and then to West Point where he served six months. It is believed he served in the tenth Massachusetts Regiment but under what under what capt she does not know
I have empowered Anthony Collamore of Pembroke in the County of Plymouth to act in the premises as my Attorney.

I have received the pension certificate of Mrs. Deborah Hatch for $26.67 pr. annum. Mrs. Hatch informs me, that her husband was out in all, 14 months; to wit: 6 months in Plymouth in 1776 under Capt. Norton; 2 months in 1777 under Capt. Sampson at the same place; and 6 months in 1780 at Westpoint when Major Andre was taken.
From the am t of the pension granted I infer the Department were not satisfied with the evidence of more than eight months service. In the last period of service above mentioned, Mr. Hatch enlisted at Pembroke & went to Spring-field & thence to Westpoint, and was appointed a wailer to Major Nath l - Winslow. Will you be so good as to inform me wherein the evidence of the above mentioned service was defective, and I will endeavor to corroborate it for the further benefit of the widow - Very Respectfully yours of the serv ce Hon.

Pembroke, Mass. March 26. 1846.
Sir,
Since the receipt of your letter of Dec. 10. 1845 I have been endeavoring to investigate the Revolutionary services of Harris Hatch, formerly a native of this Town, for the purpose of obtaining an increase of Pension for his widow Deborah Hatch. As the claimant's husband died before the Pension Act of June 7. 1832 she had to rely upon the recollection of herself and others to make out the statement of her husband's services, and it is not strange that some mistakes were made as to the years, when they were performed. I would therefore request your candid consideration of the following statements. I think it very probable that she was mistaken as to the service rendered in 1776 under Capt. Weston on the Gurnet; for the first enlistment there was for 6 months from July 1 to Dec 31. 1776 inclusive, and the fact that Mr. Hatch served 17 days in Capt. John Turner's Company in Rhode Island in Dec. 1776 is conclusive that he was not on the Gurnet at that time. You conclude your letter by saying, "If it be shown by record or documentary evidence, that claimant's husband

"performed as much as two months service in 1777 under Capt. Andrew Sampson, on in lieu of seventeen days in 1776 under Capt. Turner, Col. Cushing, may possibly be allowed." The widow is now allowed as I learn a pension of $26.67 3/4 per ann, that is for 6 mo service in 1780 and 2 mo. under Capt. Sampson in 1777. But I think there is no doubt that the service of six months claimed to have been rendered under Capt. Weston in 1776 was performed under Capt. Sampson in 1777. For the only Roll of Capt. Sampson in the Secretary's of- fice in Mass. is dated May 20. 1777 and contains the names of Harris Hatch & Israel Sampson and 43 others, (I state from memory and refer you to the Secy's certificates in the case of the widows of both furnished in 1845) and append- ed to the same is the certificate of another officer for ar- ticles furnished for 45 men on the Gurnet correspond- ing to the number in the foregoing Roll, and this is dated Sept. 30. 1777. Thus proving that Harris Hatch served at least from May 20. to Sept 30 1777 four months and 10 days, and how much longer does not appear; but it is probable some time longer; as it would appear if Mr. Hatch had been alive to make his own statement. For Israel Sampson I am informed by your letter of May 8. 1845 claimed to have served twelve months in 1777 under Capt Sampson at the Gurnet, and there is no Roll or paper as I am informed in the Secy's office in Mass. to prove that

one served more than the other, at the Gurnet in 1777, but the same for both. - Having thus referred you to records and documentary evidence that Harris Hatch served at least four months and ten days on the Gurnet in 1777, and no doubt he served longer than that, I can confidently claim for the widow an allowance of two months & 10 days at least on the Gurnet & of the 17 days at R.I. under Col t Turner, making 2 months & 27 days for an increase of pension.
Respectfully submitted by Your Atty. S t At Anthony Collamore Jr.

I Joshua Magoon of Pembroke in the County of Plymouth, and State of Massachusetts, a Revolutionary soldier, aged seventy six years, depose and say that I enlisted in the service in the Revolutionary war in the year 1780 and served six months in the state of New York, and among those who enlisted at the same time with me was Harris Hatch, then of Pembroke; we enlisted and marched to Springfield, Mass. where we passed muster, and then marched to West Point; after we arrived there, I was taken by Baron Stuben, and put into a company of Light Infantry under the command of Capt. George Webb in Col. Shepherd's Regiment, but I do not know in what company Harris Hatch was placed in, but I recollect I was told at the time that he was a waiter to Major Nathaniel Winslow, I know that he enlisted for six months and marched with myself & others who were enlisted in Pembroke to Springfield and West Point, but I know nothing of his service while there, as I did not belong to the main body of the army - Joshua Magoon

I Josiah Barker, of Charlestown, in the County of Middlesex, and State of Massachusetts, aged 74 years, depose and say that in the year 1777 I served as a soldier on the Gurnet in Capt. Andrew Sampson's Company about eight months, and I served as a substitute for John Hunt, and I will recollect that William Hatch of Pembroke was a soldier in said company, and

I should think, that about two months before his term of service expired, William Hatch enlisted on board of a merchant vessel and went to sea, and his brother Harris Hatch of Pembroke, came and served as his substitute. The remainder of his term, which according to the best of my recollection was about two months. I further testify that I am well acquainted with Deborah Hatch the widow of Harris Hatch, and that she has never married since his decease.
