I George Hall aged fifty two years, a citizen of the U.

Tupper's regiment of the Massachusetts line. I served until December 1783 and then took my final and honorable discharge from the army at West Point. I was discharged from the hospital upon the recommendation of the Surgeon. My discharge was signed by Genl Henry Jackson. It has since been lost and is not now to my knowledge in existence. Not knowing where any of the officers or soldiers with whom I served now reside, if living, I am unable to furnish other or further evidence of my service. From my reduced circumstances, I am in need of the assistance of my country for support. And I do hereby relinquish all my claim to every pension heretofore granted me by the laws of the U. States, if any; but I am not to my knowledge borne on any pension list whatever. I request that I may be placed upon the pension list for the District of Maine.

Yours truly, [unclear]
In the case of Mrs. Triphena Hall, widow of Iabes Hall, for pension, which is mentioned in your letter of Sept 21. 1844. She has endeavored to furnish all the proof in her power to obtain, as to the services of her late husband in the Revolution as the rolls of Mass ts did not furnish any evidence. And you are aware that but in few cases of the last three years. In- -vieu, the rolls are but of little service in furnishing such proof as is satisfactory. As suggested in your letter of 2 nd September 1844 recourse was had to the town records of Hal- -ifax where her husband resided at the time he entered the service and nothing satisfactory as to his service could be obtained. A letter from the clerk of that town is enclosed. That her husband did enlist into the ser- -vice as a private in the month of April 1782 for the term of three years and was discharged in December 1783 there is no doubt. During his life time, when he drew his pension I often heard him speak of his service he sustained a good character for truth, his own declaration of his service on which he was pensioned was undoubtedly true. His widow is infirm and extremely poor and aged, and if in receiving her claim you should think pro- -per to allow it, it would confer a great benefit upon her.

As to the amount she is entitled to can if you think proper be computed on the time he entered in April 1782 to the close of the war. I would respectfully request you to examine again her papers and allow her claim if you think proper to do so.
I am Sir

The papers in the Case of Treshna Hall, Claiming a pension under the act of 7 th July 1838, have been examined and placed upon file. The evidence as to identity and the date of the marriage, is satisfactory. Iabez Hall , the husband of the Claimant, was a pensioner under the act of March 18 th 1818, upon parole testimony, shewing that he had served nine months; but as the widows pension is graduated by the length of service, it will be necessary to produce the certificate of the Secretary of State of Massachusetts, shewing when he entered and when he was discharged. The declaration of Iabez Hall states that he enlisted in April 1782 in Captain Thaddeus Marshals' Company and Colonel Tupper's Regiment, and served until December 1783.
I am very respectfully, Your obedient.

In your letter of July 21. 1843 relating to the claim of Mrs. Stephen Hall, widow of John Hall, for pension under Act of July 7. 1838. As you require the Certificate of the Sec'y of War as to the service in the Army, I herewith transmit his Certificate, by which it appears the rolls of the Company he served in is not in his Office, or cannot be found. The statement made by her late husband, as to his service, to have commenced in April 1782 and to have ended in Dec. 1783. This statement was made by him in order to be pensioned by virtue of the Act of March 18. 1818, under which it required but nine months service to have entitled him to a full pension, and consequently he had no inducement if he had been so disposed to over rate his service. It is hoped you will think proper to compute her pension commencing in April 1782. She will be unable to find parole testimony as to the length of his service.

I send herewith paper in order to have the claim Stephen Hale has for an increase of Pension, and would respectfully request you to allow it if satisfactory.
It appears her friends  that through the ignorance of her claim and the amount she will rec ce  they were induced to bargain giving fifty per cent of it for having it established, it is certainly a very hard case that a person in her years & infirmity should be so im- -pared as she has no property education & depends on her Pension for support. Those widows whose claims have been allowed through my agency and who I have continued to collect their semi annual payments of pensions for, I deem it my duty as their agent to prevent all attempts to impose on their ignorance, as far as in my power

To the Hon James L. Edwards Commissioner of Pensions
Sir
I am the guardian of Joseph Hall the widow of Jacob Hall, who is a Pensioner under the act of Feb 2. 1848 at the rate of Fifty five dollars per annum on the Maine agency, I do hereby authorize Geo W. Morton of Augusta, in the State of Maine to act as my Attorney in establishing any claim & all claims for increase of Pension  She has under any & every law of Congress, passed relating to the same. I do hereby revoke all powers I have heretofore given to any person, particularly to one Jacob Herrick for the purpose of making the claim allowed, not understanding at the time the amount that my said ward is entitled to for increase of her pension, thereby and do hereby request you not to allow any claim on any order by her drawn to any person whatever. She is poor & helpless and any bargain that has heretofore been made whereby she will have to pay one half of the amount of increase she is entitled to is doing her great injustice.

Sir agreeably to your request of June 10 - I have examined the Records of the Town of Halifax respecting the Service of Jacob Hall in the Revolution you say he Enlisted in 1782 and was discharged in 1783 I examined the Records in 1779 and searched them up to 1787 - and I find the name of Jacob Hall to occur but in two places and these for the abatement of taxes - Our Records are very imperfect as to raising Soldiers - Sometimes the Town chooses a Committee to hire Soldiers for three months, or six, sometimes for three years, or during the war - Some names of those hired are returned and are Recorded and some are not - which must have been the case of Jacob Hall if he was hired by the Town of Halifax -
