In your letter of the 3 d inst o is received inclosing a copy of a letter from Mr. Perkins to Mr. Hastings, desiring information "whether he ever received bounty bond of the U.S. for his services and when, where and under whom he enlisted & served also when & by whom he was discharged". The following is Mr. Hastingses Statement
"In June of 79 enlisted for one year in the town of Swansea in the state of New Hampshire. That he marched immediately under the command of a Sergeant to Fishkill in the state of New York. That after he arrived there he and 12 others was stationed at Newburgh under a sergeant till winter, thinks the regiment to which he was afterwards attached was on an expedition at the west under Gen. Sullivan. That in the fore part of winter he marched to Danbury in the state of Connecticut and went into winter quarters. That in the months of January & February 1880 he enlisted in the continental service. That Benjamin Ellis was an officer in the company don't recollect whether he was capt then or not, but was soon after. Thinks a Mr. Gilbert might have been capt at first, that he was in the 3 d Regiment in Gen. Daws Brigade commanded at first by Col. Scammel. That afterwards the 3 regiments were reduced to two. That he was then in Col. Dearborns regiment. That Col. Dearborn was not much with the regiment but was generally commanded by Major Scott. That he was discharged at Newburgh in the state of New York. That his discharge was dated the 3 d day of June 1783 if he recollects correctly. That his discharge was printed and signed

my son George Washington. That on the bottom of the discharge was a certificate that he had faithfully & honorably served three years and signed by Col Need - That when discharged he was capt Ellis, Company thinks in Col. Needs regiment
That he was informed when he was discharged he was entitled to some land in the western country but has never received any or any certificate for any, That his discharge is now lost - That he insisted to serve during the war

Leray November the 8-1831 -
Sir in answer to yours of the 19 th ult last, Relative to my land warrant being granted to a person Representing my name - I shall here state how I think it has taken place - I stated in my letter of the 12 th to you, that I had not heard any - about the year 1788 or 89 - There was a man call'd on me at Swansey in the State of New Hampshire and stated to me that each Soldier that was inlisted - during the Revolutionary war was intitled to Reive land, in the Kentucky Country, and that there was a Company formed to send out and explore it, and if it was a good Country they wanted to get as many to join them and settle the lands as they sold - and also they wanted to obtain as many Soldier Rights as they sold - I gave him some kind of a writing to obtain my Right of land as a Soldier - expecting to have heard more from the Company - But shortly after that time I left Hampshire State - and have not seen nor heard of the man since, neither do I know his name nor whether he obtained my land warrant or not - but as you state that there has been a warrant granted to a person representing my name, it must have been granted under that authority that I gave at the above stated time - if the writing that I gave is preserved in any office or else where - it may be seen that it was acknowledged before Judge Ncomb of the Town of Green State of New Hampshire - Sir permit me in this way to make some remarks on my claim before you -
page

- it has been attended with much trouble to obtain my Capt's Certificate and other documents relative to my (Blame as well as expenses) - there being but few surviving officers and soldiers of the New Hampshire line can be found at this late day - but how incorrect my documents may appear. I am the person that is described to you as a soldier in the Revolutionary wars and that there was not a man in the New Hampshire line in time of the said war by the name of Solomon Hazelt but only my Self - I am now over Seventy years of age and perhaps I have not been so correct as I should have done fifty years since - whatever may be found charged to me on the said war books I am willing to allow to be correct - and I consider my Self to be under the benefit of the late act of Congress approved the 15 th May 1828 - I should not think that late documents be satisfactory shall endeavor to make further proof to substantiate my claim I can get men at Swansey to identify me as Being the very man who was in the Revolutionary war Capt Ellis my Capt was living when I last heard from him a little more than a year ago I am old and inferm and unable to go to Hampshire State the distance is three hundred miles - I hope Mr Pages affidavit which I send you will be satisfactory - I am Sir your ob d Servant
