Sir,
The claim of Mrs Lois Holloway, widow of David Holloway has been examined & her papers placed upon our files.
It is alleged that her late husband performed a 9 months service in 1780, from Marlborough, Mass. Upon turning to the account made up by the Selectmen of the town for the services of the soldiers furnished by said town, I find that Mr Holloway, with the others, marched July 9. 1780. He was discharged and paid up to November 3 rd having been in actual service 3 mos & 25 days only. Mrs Holloway's claim is therefore disallowed.
I am, respectfully,
your ob t serv t .

L. Edwards Commissioner of Pensions, dated May 25- 1839. She has good reason to believe from documents now in the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth =wealth of Massachusetts, that her late husband the said David Hollowell then of Marlborough entered the service of the Revolutionary War at Rhode Island January second, seventeen hundred and seventy eight, and remained in said service two months and twenty Days, and that this service was performed in Captain Benjamin Munroe's Company and Colonel Sprout's Regiment.
In testimony whereof the said Lois Hollowell does hereunto set her hand.

I Jacob Belcher of Framingham in the County of Middlesex & Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a Revolutionary Pensioner aged seventy seven years, do testify and declare that I was one of a Party raised in Framingham in 1780, called the New Levies , or Six Months Levies . We marched in July to Springfield where we were mustered. We were marched from thence under command of a Captain Hancock of Brooklyne (Mass.) to Fishkill, I think. I joined Col. Nixon's Regiment, and remained in it during this service in New York State and the Jerseys, excepting a part of the time, in which I was detailed to form a Light Infantry Company under Captain Golden. During this service of six months I frequently saw David Holloway, (or Holloway) who was a Levy from Marlboro- ugh, Mass. and I think he was in Colonel Greaton's Regiment and Captain -- Sumner's Company, although I am not very positive as to the Captain. I perfectly recollect said Holloway, though not in the same Regiment with myself, he being a particularly eccentric fellow, and much noticed on account of his eccentricity; and further I say not
