Benjamin Perkins company, Col. Moses Little's regiment, and in Gen. Nathaniel Green's brigade in the first of the term and Gen. Dixon's brigade in the last, in the Massachusetts line, in which company I served the said term of one year, when by particular request of said Captain Perkins, I consented to remain in said company one month longer, and, having served this period also, I was verbally discharged, no written discharges being then given. I further testify, that, by reason of my reduced circumstances in life, I stand in need of assistance from my country for support and that I am not borne on any pension list of the United States.

Since writing the above I perceive that the Claim is on the printed list of rejected Claims and it is stated that "She was not a widow at the date of the Act." I think it will be found on examination that this is an error.
