of W H Bartlett to act as "administrator "for the use and benefit of Polly Frasier Harris (Hulburt) and Helen Hulburt and Susan Bartlett (my) surviving children of Helen and Esther Hulburt" and also the authority of the heirs of Kenneth Bennett to receive the certificates

Dear Sir
Your favor of the 9 th instant came to me by due course of mail, enclosed is two affidavits relative to the infirmity of Mr. Abner Hubbard, which I hope and trust will cause his name to be restored to the pension roll, should you deem it necessary to procure stronger affidavits they can be procured by sending to his native town in Connecticut, where many of his old Revolutionary brethren are yet living, who know that his infirmities came upon him, in consequence of sickness which he brought home with him from the Revolutionary Army - he is in reality exceedingly decrepit, much involved in debt, and has a wife as decrepit as he is, and without a suitable person to rely upon for future help & maintenance, and from my personal knowledge of the old Man's circumstances and situation, I conceive it positively necessary that he should receive assistance from our Government - he is a peaceable, temperate, prudent old decrepit honest man, a real subject of charity.
I am Sir with great respect your Obedient & Very Humble

Dear Sir
Enclosed herewith is the Affidavit of Joel Morris, and of Alanson Pierce Esq., in relation to the death of Esther Hubbard. They were her near neighbors, and one of them was present at the time of her death.
You are probably not aware that we have not here any regular undertakers , but any neighbor who can conveniently do it, prepares the grave, and any joiner or cabinet maker makes the coffin when called for.
Mr Coffs who made the coffin in this instance, left the place secretly a year or two since, and I can find no one who knows his present residence.
I find from the minutes of the Conference, that the Clergyman who officiated at the funeral was transferred to the Illinois Conference, but cannot learn his place of residence. I trust however that the proof now sent will be satisfactory, in relation to the point in question.
Yours Respectfully

Gentlemen:-
Abner Hubbard, Sargeant Major, seems to have been appointed by Col. Zebulon Butler, October 24th, 1780, in the First Connecticut Regiment. His commission does not appear to be dated until June 3rd, 1783. He enlisted January 1st, 1777, and was honorably discharged June 7th, 1783 by General George Washington. He appears as a pensioner at age 86 in Windsor, Vermont, and it seems his pension began April 14th, 1818. Do the records of your department give any further or confirmatory details of his service? If it is possible to tell with whom he lived while drawing his pension, you will confer a favor upon a descendant of Abner Hubbard who is trying to establish her right to join the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Respectfully,
D. S. Johnston
