Maine District B
At a Special District Court of the United States for the District of Maine held at Bangor, on the day of July A.D. 1932, personally appeared Joseph Healy, a resident of Hollis in the county of York, in said Maine District aged 73 years who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by act of Congress passed June 7 th 1932. That he served as herein stated.
On this 26 th day of July 1932  1932 personally appeared in said  me at this Court, before said  me at this District Judge Joseph Healy a resident of Hollis in the county of York in said Maine District aged 73 years who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by act of Congress passed June 7 th 1932. That he served as herein stated.
In the summer of 1775 I enlisted for six months in Capt Benj o Hooper's company of Bidddeford and served out the full period of my enlistment, we were stationed principally at Winter Harbour at the mouth of Saco River in Maine, during which time the British attempted to land at said place, and after having killed and wounded some of their men took one of their Boats and its crew were made prisoners, while stationed at this place we once marched to Portland for the defence of that place and once to Cape Porpoise, but we remained at these places but a short time and returned to Winter Harbour, when we were discharged, at the expiration of our time. In January 1776 I enlisted again and was attached to Capt Benj o Hooper's, for the term of one year, and marched to Falmouth now Portland in the state of Maine, where we were served about ten months and were discharged and returned home. In November 1776 I enlisted into Capt. Piken's company in Col. Snets Regiment of Saco I think for five months and marched to Pittsfield in the state of New York, we were stationed at and about West Point, where we were discharged after having served out the full period of  full period of my enlistment, I served longer than the time I enlisted for, I think the whole service was five months and a half. In the year 1777 I enlisted into Capt Grant's company of Berwick in the state of Maine, for three months and marched to Providence in the state of Rhode Island where we were stationed, until the expiration of our service and was then discharged, I think it was some time in June of that year that we returned home.

I was born in Biddeford near Winter Harbour, in Maine in the year 1759 I believe there is a record of my age on the town books of Biddeford I resided in Biddeford when entered the service, I enlisted voluntarily into the service and served as I have stated. Col Mitchell commanded at Portland when I was there, Genl Putnam commanded when I was in the service at West Point. Saml and William Hobson and Ellis B. Usher Esq. reside near me who can state my general character for truth.

Honoured Sir,
Your Letter of date Aug. 6 th to me at West Buxton directed, was duly Rec d , expressive of the claim of Lemina Haley for an increase of Pension, who was and now is the widow of Joseph Haley a Private & Sergeant in the War of the Revolution, who said Lemina has, and by Certificate is, entitled to receive $40.00 per annum. (Your Ans. is that she has but all owed (a stipend) agreeable to a Certificate of Secy of War, and furthermore that it is all that can be granted on the proof now filed = Joseph Haley the Soldier and Sergeant, who performed the service (proved) by the Secretary of War, received during his life $80.00 per annum and further  furthermore alleged service by him, is not by said certificate proved. Yet the stipend allowed by you $40.00 is not in accordance with his allowed claim of $80.00 and Reference (was by me to you made) that in addition to the service proved he served in one Capt n Pike's Company in Regiment commanded by Col. Frost. That such proof cannot now by Secretary of War's charts be now certified to for the good and real'd reason, that there are no Rolls, open open.

= of said Pika Capt. n nor of F r ork Col. o Among the Rolls in the archives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, deposited  but said  to Service of Hales Roll or Rolls containing and expressive of were only in existence, and presumed to be in the War Office of the United States, even to this day and I there referred you for proof of the declaration set forth. The proof of more service than declared and set forth in the Certificate of the Secy of Mass. - I, this day am unable to prove, yet it will at once be obvious, that, to the depositment it formerly had been moved to the satisfaction of the depositant that, that service by him rendered, entitled him to the Amount of $50.00 per Annum his old Bons on file will show this, and I, for the widow and the widow herself claim what by Congress has heretofore done, (and nothing more) in behalf of the surviving Officers and Soldiers of the War of the Revolution. I think you will refer to the file of his old Bons, and from them will adduce such Evidence and proof as will entitle you to give Jerimiah Hales the same sum, as was to Joseph Hales allowed by reason of his services in the War of the Revolution = I hope you are now possessed of proof sufficient to satisfy you, that your official duty requires you to give the Annuity asked. (by this) I refer to the original claim, to the original -

- Proof by said Joseph offered during his lifetime, as heretofore in this Letter and in the application of the widow to you in her behalf made.
I am dear Sir your very obedient and humble Svt.
Hon. J. L. Edwards P. B. Abbott Com. of Pensions
* MB. In answer please direct West Buxton, York County
Maine
P.S. The service of Col Frost's Regt Companies etc, are as you aware of, not to proved by Massachusetts (i.e) by Rolls there deposited, (if burnt at Washington, (if otherwise) destroyed) - or if now in the Secretary's Office at Washington, to me, and to the Secy of Mass, are unknown, to you I leave the whole subject matter to to you if over a person claimed any thing by reason of service performed in the war of the Revolution in Frost's Regiment - I appeal, I appeal to you because you have held the Hon. Office of Com. of Pensions so long -

- That for the most part All Officers (i e) all Revolutionary Officers Names must of of course be familiar with you, and if ever there was a Col. Frost, you can so say, if ever there was an applicant of the Revolution, claiming any thing by Pension - and setting forth by declaration that he served under Col. Frost, you can say so, and by reference to Col. Frost's Rolls you can ascertain whether or not Joseph Hale's name is returned in any company conspicuously said Frost, whether in Pike's Company or any other Capt's Company, - I allege and for good reason one, point in the case, that he served in Pike's Company and Col. Frost's Regiment - (i c) just turn to file of his said Joseph Hale's Pension Papers, and upon the back or inside of his old Certificate you will see inserted that he served in Capt. Pike's Company and Frost's Regiment. - Now nothing is granted by you as his having served in said Company and Regt, but 2 Mo. and 11 days service as Sergeant in Capt. James Frost's Company in Col. Fitzcamb's Regiment and for 8 months & 23 days in Capt. Benjamin Hodges or Hodges Company This is what you have allowed - (but nothing for the whole time in which he was engaged and absolutely employed in the service in Pike's Company and Frost's Regt. = here rests the point - here is the claim - and I submit the (whole for your further consideration, Respectfully Yours &c Philbrick B. Abbot.

Hon d Sir, I this day Rec d the Certificate of Jemima Haley at the rate of $41.07 per annum, = I am, and she is, disappointed in the Amount of Pension  allowed by you = We supposed she would be entitled the same pay as her husband viz. $80.00 per annum = The service at Falmouth I sent. The service at Rhode Island also as expressed in the certificate of J. G. Palfrey Secy of Mass. = The service in Frost's Reg. and in Pike's Company is not in Boston, Massachus. Records to be found = I think you will find it on the War Records, hence I think you have cut short the pay, for it certainly looks as though something is left out - else you would have granted $80. per year. The former pay of Joseph Haley, her husband Received = I wish you to Re-examine her Claim and I think in so doing you will make an addition to her Pension. I would respectfully ask your attention to the subject, and report to me as soon as your convenience will allow. Please state the particulars, so that I can show her why she has not Received what she anticipated = and if you find more service you will increase her Pension = I am dear Sir Yours, Col. J. L.
