Mrs. Helen A. Legro 13 Elm Street Somersworth, New Hampshire
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letters in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Philip Hubbard, Joseph Hubbard and Joseph Hubbard, Junior.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon military service of soldiers in that war.
A search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the services of Joseph Hubbard as described by you.
The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W.23357, based upon the Revolutionary War service of Philip Hubbard.
He was born and reared in Berwick, District of Maine, no date given, nor are the names of his parents stated.
While residing in said Berwick, Philip Hubbard enlisted in April, 1775, served eight months as a private in Captain Philip Hubbard's company, Colonel James Scammon's Massachusetts regiment; there is no relationship shown between the Captain Philip Hubbard and the soldier, Philip Hubbard. He afterwards served about one year in same company and regiment.
The soldier, Philip Hubbard, married February 21, 1777, Mehitable Underwood; he was then of Ber-

wick and she of Kittery, District of Maine.
The soldier, Philip Hubbard, died September 11, 1808. His widow, Mehitable Hubbard, was allowed pension on her application executed, August 9, 1838, then a resident of Waterville, Kennebec County, Maine, and aged seventy-nine years. In 1843 she was living in Corinna, Penobscot County, Maine.
The names of their children as found in the claim are as follows- Guy T. Hubbard in 1836 aged forty-six years and living in Waterville, Maine; Sarah Blaisdell in 1836 aged thirty-five years and living in Waterville, Maine.
Jonathan Hubbard in 1836 of Acton, York County, Maine, stated that he was the son of Philip Hubbard, the captain in 1775; Aaron Hubbard was Justice of the Peace in 1836 in York County, Maine. It is not shown that they were related to the soldier, or were related to each other.
