Madam:
I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S. 31146 it appears that Jonathan Hubbard , while living with his father Captain Philip Hubbard in Berwick, York County, Massachusetts, enlisted in March 1776 and served six months as waiter to his father, a Captain in Colonel Scammon's Massachusetts Regiment.
Jonathan Hubbard was allowed pension on his application executed September 3, 1832 while a resident of Acton, York County, Maine aged about seventy-one years. There is no data on file as to his family except the reference to his father.
This Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his services, and a careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account of the services of said Captain Philip
according to his pension file - he was in 1758 or 1761

Hubbard.
The Philip Hubbard, on account of whose services pension was allowed, was a resident of Berwick, Massachusetts during the Revolution and served as a private in Captain Philip Hubbard's Company in Colonel Scammon's Massachusetts Regiment. Relationship to Captain Philip Hubbard not stated.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
