I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W.19671, it appears that Thomas Hazel-tine, while residing in Lunenburg, Worcester County, Massachusetts, enlisted in 1775, served eight months as a private in Captain John Fuller's Company, Colonel Whitcomb's Massachusetts Regiment and was in the battle of Bunker Hill.
It is also stated that he served in 1776 and 1777, and was out at the time of the battle of Bennington, no definite dates of service given nor names of officers mentioned.
He died June 11, 1820, in Strafford, Orange County, Vermont.
The soldier married June 11, 1788, in Westmoreland, New Hampshire, Sarah George.
She was allowed pension on her application executed May 19, 1845, at which time she was a resident of Strafford, Vermont, and aged eighty-three years.

Westmoreland June 4. 1845
Dear Sir I can not find in the marriage Records of this town, any record of the marriage of Thomas Harl- -ton - These old records are imperfect & quite deficient - As you did not request my affidavit as Town Clerk duly authenticated for use at the Pension Office, unless I should find the record, I have not done it. I suppose however that if the marriage was solemnized in this town as may appear by the Declaration that the Department will require such affidavit of the Clerk, that it is not on Record, before receiving the testimony of other witnesses to the marriage.
Should you wish I can forward it to your order - Yours Respectfully
