On application for evidence of the Revolutionary service of Dan Hatch, who is said to have served in the Regiment of Col o Comsat Gage in 1776, I have examined the records in this office and do not find any Pay Roll of Col o Gage's Reg t , but find evidence in accounts on the Pay Table Books that he was in service in the year 1776, the first entry being 2 d July of that year.
And it being claimed that the said Hatch served in a Reg t commanded by Col o Levi Wells in 1780, I have not on search been able to find any pay roll of Col o Wells for that year, but find an account with him on the Pay Table Books, commencing in May 1775, and continuing thro each year to June 1782, and amongst the entries to his Credit, is one of 21 December 1781 for "Pay Roll & Cash advanced his Captain," &c. He also receiv d orders on the State Treasurer in the Months of April, June, August, Sept. & Dec r 1780. He having received in all from the State Treasury upwards of £300.000.

Sir
Yours of 20 th inst is rec d .
In yours of 15 Sept last, you say, in the case of Luke Northrop formerly widow of Dan Hatch, the proofs of the marriage & identity are deemed sufficient & that proof of service must be sustained by certificate of Sec y of War. Dan Hatch belonged to Connecticut troops. I sent you the certificate of the Comptroller of Conn t to shew that there was no returns in his office of the Soldiers of Col Page's Regiment in 1876 or of Col Wells Regiment in 1880. for the purpose of letting in secondary evidence of the service of Hatch.
By the Deposition of Iabez Kingsbury we prove that Dan Hatch served in Col Page's Regiment eight months in 1876 that he was drafted in 1877 & went away in a company of Cavalry into the State of New York near Ballston & that he afterwards went into the service & was taken prisoner.
By Solomon Eaton's Deposition we prove that Dan Hatch in 1880 enlisted into the Regiment commanded by Col Levi Wells, that he left Folland in Col Wells

Regiment & was taken prisoner & absent as long as that Regiment was, and that he was a Sergeant in 2 Regiment. In addition to this positive testimony I refer you to the Depositions of Eunice Paulk, Alexander Abbott & Anna Hye, all of which tend to prove that Hutch was in Col Wells Regiment at Horse Neck. We suppose that you have in your office evidence of the length of time Deye Wells Regiment was in service, but if you have not I refer you to the Deposition of John Davison filed in your office in the case of Amanda Whiton, widow of Joseph Whiton. John Davison is since deceased.
In your letter of 26 th inst to Hon Mr. Rockwood you say that you have rec d no communication from me in relation to Naomi Beebe's case since yours to me of 15 Sept last. I sent you on 7 th Dec r last the certificate of the Comptroller of the State of New York as to the services of Ezra Beebe, also the Deposition of the town clerk of Williams town proving the record of the birth of the children of Ezra & Naomi Beebe. I will thank you to cause an examination to be made to see if these papers are not rec d & mislaid in your office.
Yours truly Wm. Parton

Mrs. Elizabeth Abbott reproduction card of Dear Harriet,

I Elizabeth Abbott, aged seventy eight years, of the town of Tolland in the County of Tolland and State of Connecticut, do testify and say, that I am the daughter of Joseph Hatch who was the brother of Dan Hatch late of the town of Coeymans in said Tolland County deceased, that I lived near by my uncle Dan Hatch during his life, I recollect him well and was intimately acquainted with him while he lived. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. I can remember his returning at one time from the army near the close of the war. I recollect of hearing him tell over his services privations and sufferings while in the army, and he used to sing to us the songs he learned in the army. He spoke of being at several places among which I remember of his naming New York; where he was imprisoned; and Dorchester or Roxbury where he went with General Carpenter and Annie Pault and others of my acquaintances in Tolland. He often spoke of the officers under whom he served, but I cannot now recollect their names. From his stories of late I have the impression he was in the army during most of the war, and such is the general reputation and belief of those that knew him. I know and have known the Hatch family but have never known any other person by the name of Dan Hatch and do not believe there was any other by that name in this County, and further saith not. —

I Charles Sedgwick, Clerk of the Judicial Courts of the Commonwealth, for the County of Berkshire, do certify, that George S. Tucker Esquire, whose signature is affixed to the certificate, on the paper hereto annexed, was, at the date thereof, one of the Justices of the Peace, within and for said County, duly commissioned and acting under the authority of this Commonwealth; and that full faith and credit are and ought to be given to his acts and attestations done in that capacity; and that I am acquainted with the hand writing of the said Tucker and believe his signatures to said certificates are genuine.

I will recollect, that at some time or other Mr. Wills called him Sergeant Hatch. I have no doubt he was a Sergeant in a Company belonging to Mr. Wills Regiment in Mr. War. The said Warrant was sometimes given to our Children, & is either lost or destroyed or may be sent to Washington with the papers accompanying Mr. Van Klief's application for a pension under the Act of 1818. and further I say not. —

I Solomon Eaton of Tolland in the county of Tolland and State of Connecticut aged Eighty five years a Revolutionary pensioner of the United States, do testify and say that I was acquainted with Dan Hatch formerly of said Tolland, who afterward resided in the town of Coventry in said County, and died at said Coventry about the year 1825. The said Dan and myself were nearly of an age, being only twelve days difference in our ages. I was at home in Tolland aforesaid in the year 1780, and know that the said Dan Hatch during that year joined the army of the Revolution and was in the Regiment then commanded by Col. Levi Wells. The said Hatch left Tolland in said Regiment and went to Horn Neck, and was quartered as I have heard him say in a school house where he was taken prisoner. I do not recollect how long the said Hatch was absent from Tolland aforesaid, but know that he was gone as long as the other's of Col Wells Regiment. I have had frequently conversed with Hatch about his services in the army, heard him describe the place at which he was stationed, and have been since at the same place, and found his descriptions correct. I have also always understood and believed him to have been a soldier in the Army of the Revolution aforesaid. I cannot state particularly any other period of service. I further testify and say, that the said Dan Hatch was a Sergeant in Col. Levi Wells Regiment in the year 1780 at Horn Neck as above mentioned. — and further the deponent saith not. Solomon Eaton

I, Iabez Kingsbury of Tolland in the County of Tolland and State of Connecticut a Revolutionary pensioner of the United States aged eighty seven years, do testify and say, that in the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy six I performed a tour of duty in Colonel Sayer's Regiment at New York a period of eight months. Before this time I was well acquainted with Dea. Hatch then of said town of Tolland but afterward a resident of the town of Coeymans in said Tolland County. And I know the said Dea. Hatch was also at New York in Col. Sayer's Regiment and remained there during said period of eight months. He was a part of the time a writer of Lieutenant Nathaniel West, but the precise time I cannot state. Just before the commencement of this period of service, I married the sister of the said Dea. Hatch and this circumstance and the relationship that subsisted between us makes me reluctant the first minute. — I further testify and say that my said kinsman Dea. Hatch was drafted in the year 1777 to perform a tour of duty in New York at or near Bulltown. He went in a detachment of Cavalry and was gone a short time the precise period I cannot state. My own brother Nathaniel Kingsbury went with him this time which fact seems to fix it upon my recollection more permanently. I further testify that the said Dea. Hatch after the last named service again went into the service of the revolutionary army and was taken prisoner, but do not now recollect the year this service was performed or the name of the officer under whom he served. I believe however he was at Haverbrook and in the State of New Jersey but cannot state with precision. — and further the upon my oath. — Iabez Kingsbury
