I, William Hasty, a resident citizen of the United States of America, an inhabitant of Scarborough, in the District of Maine, on oath declare, that in January, A.D. 1776, I enlisted in the town of Cambridge in the State of Massachusetts, as a sergeant in the company commanded by Capt. Abraham Tyler, in the regiment commanded by Col. Edmunds Phinney, in Genl. Patterson's Brigade, in the Massachusetts line, on the continental establishment in the revolutionary war; - that I continued to serve, as a sergeant in said company and in the service of the United States until about the last of December, A.D. 1776, when I was regularly discharged at Mount Independence, in the State of New York - In January, A.D. 1777, I again entered the continental service in the revolutionary war, as ensign, and was commissioned as such in the company commanded by Capt. Skillings, afterwards Capt. Thorne, in Col. Tupper's regiment in Genl. Patterson's Brigade, in which company I served until the 28 th of March 1779 when I was appointed a Lieutenant in the same Regiment, and commissioned as such. - I continued to discharge the duty of Lieutenant and also of Adjutant under said commission, which is hereunto annexed, until the 18 th day of March A.D. 1780 when I was honorably discharged. - And I do further on oath declare that I was in the engagement at Hubberton, at

Bemis' heights, at the taking of Genl: Burgayne, and in the battle of Monmouth. - And I do further declare, that I am sixty six years of age, am not borne on any pension lists of the United States, and that by reason of my reduced circumstances in life, I stand in need of assistance from my country for support -
Wherefore, I, the said William Hasty, pray that this declaration and the proceedings to be had thereon, may be transmitted to the Secretary of War, to the end that I may be placed on the pension lists of the United States, agreeably to the provisions of An Act of Congress, passed March 18. 1818, entitled, "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval services of the United States in the revolutionary war". -

U. S. Dist. Judge de

State of Maine
On this third day of June in the year of our Lord Eighteen hundred & forty five five personally appeared John Hasty of Hilmarnock in the County of Piscataquis and State of Maine and in open court makes the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832.
And this declarant states that he is the only child living of William Hasty late of Scarsboro in the County of Cumberland. He believes that his father the said William was an officer in the war of the Revolution from January 15 th 1777 to the close of close of the war. That William Hasty his father entered the service in 1777 as Ensign in Capt John Skillings Company as an aide at such 3 mos. that on the death of Capt Skillings which happened on or about the 14 th of April 1777 his father was promoted to a Lieut and sent in Capt Jones Company which was the same as had been commanded by Lieut Skillings, the service of the said three years as Lieut. He further declares as his belief that in 1780 he still continued in the service as Lieut & Adjutant in some Regt unknown to this applicant until after the capture of Cornwallis - & that he never resigned his commission. He further states that near the close of the war his father had the commission of Capt. sent to him while he was at home on furlough.

Your applicant has seen his commission of Captain but the same was destroyed with other papers of my father at the time I removed from the town of Scarborough to this place, as I supposed they were of no use to me or any one else. This applicant believes that the service of his father will be shown from documents in the possession of the Commission or in the War Office at Washington or among the papers in the office of the Secretary of State showing the whole of his service in the war of the revolution & the particular grade of his service . This applicant further declares that his father the said William Hasty died on the 23 d day of December 1831. & that his mother died on the 28 th day of Decem 1831 and that he is the only child of said William Hasty now living -
He therefore claims the increase and arrears of pension that his father would have been entitled to receive under the act of June 7 th 1832, and the act passed subsequent thereto granting the same to the widow of the soldier & in case of her decease to the surviving children.
And as evidence of his father's service in Col Tappan's Regt he produces the certificate of the Secretary of State Massachusetts, showing that the said W m Hasty served as Ensign in Col Tappan's Regt 3 rd Vols from Jany 1 st 1777. and that he served as Lieut 3 rd mos from April 1 st 1777 to the 31 st of Dec r 1779, & from the 1 st of Jany 1780 to the 18 th of March 1780 as Lieut and Adjutant. For the evidence of the subsequent

service he prays the commission to refer to such documents of revolutionary services as may be found in the Departments at Washington.

Portland June 14th 1845
Sir
I enclose herewith the application of John Hasty only surviving child & heir of William Hasty for the benefit of the acts of 1832 & 1836-
The declaration herein, sets forth, that William Hasty did receive a Captain's Commission near the close of the war. The records of the State of Mass shows him to have been in the service as Lieut & Adjt as late as the 18th March 1780. It is supposed if he continued in the service later than that period, that the Records of some of the Departments at Washington will show the fact. I have to request therefore that you call upon the Secretary of State of the U.S. for evidence of the service of William Hasty subsequent to March 1780- if the records in your own Office do not show the time his service expired. I believe there are returns in the Secretary's Office of Col Tappens Regiment to the close of the Revolutionary war-
I am very Respectfully
