I hereby certify that it appears from the Journal of the House of Representatives, under date of January 19 th 1776. that Mr. Fabyan and Capt. Cutter were appointed a Committee from the County of Cumberland, to assist in raising men for a temporary reinforcement of the Army at the request of his Excellency General Washington, and when raised, to form them into Companies of 90 men each including officers, and to cause said Companies to march to Cambridge or Roxbury, as soon as each Company has chosen its several officers. I further certify that by form of said enlistment, said troops thus raised, were to serve in the United Colonies of America until the first day of April thereafter if the service shall require it. I further certify that among the original letters in this Department, there is one from William Cutter addressed to the whole Court, in which he states that Mr Fabyan and himself were appointed to raise two Companies, and that they had performed the duty assigned them, that he had enlisted a Company of 90 men - that said Company had chosen Winthrop Boston, Capt. Nathan Merrill and Robert Dunning, Lieutenants, and Thomas Adams, Ensign. - and said Company had

marched for Cambridge. — I further certify that the roll of Capt. Boston, has upon it the names of 89 men, officers included, and a blank space for one other name. and that the Officers are the same as named in the letter of W m Cutler. No one Officer or Soldier has more than 9 days allowed on said Roll, and none less than 6 days. I further certify that upon another list accompanying said Roll, the wages specified to be due Richard Hunnewell, is stated to be $5. 4 5 . — The name of said Hunnewell is borne on said Roll as a private, and is allowed thereby six days. I have no doubt but the same is a mileage roll or a roll of travel of Capt. Boston's Company.

To the Hon: the Secretary of the Interior Washington City D.C.
In the matter of the application of Sarah Haskell widow of Ward Haskell late of Haysville in the County of Cumberland and State of Maine for an increase of Pension, said applicant feeling herself aggrieved & wronged by the recent decision of the Commissioner of Pensions herein enclosed, takes an appeal therefrom and submits the following statements and reasons for said appeal.
1. That the said Sarah Haskell has been placed on the Pension list of the Maine agency under the several acts of 1838, 1843, 1844 and 1848 at the rate of thirty dollars per annum upon evidence originally adduced by her for nine months service of her husband the said Ward Haskell in the Revolutionary war.
2 d That in May 1850 the said Sarah transmitted a declaration for an increase of Pension and the same was supported by a certificate from the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, showing two months additional service which time was not computed in her pension previously allowed making in the whole eleven months service

as a private.
3 d That the said Sarah produced a further certificate from said Beey, in May last showing that the service in Capt Boston's Company was a two months service and that the roll was a mileage roll, and the Commissioner was referred to his action and decision in the case of Lucy Yeaton widow of James Yeaton to whose children a pension certificate was granted Octo 13 1846, and two months service allowed on a certificate precisely similar, as to service in said Boston's Company, also to a decision made by said Commissioner in the case of the widow of said Capt Boston on the 5th of March 1850, in which he says that two months service may be allowed.
4 th That the decision of the Commissioner of Pensions in the case of your Applicant is contrary to evidence and contrary to his decisions on the same evidence in other cases.
She therefore prays you Hon: to consider the subject matter of her application, ex-

amend the application and proof adduced by her and make such decision as may be deemed right and equitable.
