Gentlemen:-
I wish to obtain information regarding my great-grandfather Uriah Harrington A Revolutionary Soldier, born in Rutland, Massachusetts, son of Caleb and Hepzibah (Hayden) Harrington.
Uriah Harrington, enlisted apparently from Princeton, Massachusetts, prior to January 1, 1779. He died at Ypsilanti, Michigan in 1841. He married Patty Adams, of Medway, Massachusetts, who is sometimes alluded to in family records as 'Martha' Adams.
Patty Adams, made out a pension application from Saratoga County, New York, I think from Charlton, New York to be specific, and I think she was born during the Revolutionary period, so that in 1841, or later, when her husband died she was younger than the average Revolutionary Soldier's widow.
What I wish to obtain is the exact date and place of her birth, and the name that she signed to her application for a pension, which was granted. I also would like to know exactly when and where she died.
Would it be possible for me to obtain a tracing or a photostat copy of her signature as well as a transcript of her application?
In 1914 I was elected a Member of the D. A. R. and I want you to feel that I am only seeking this information for D. A. R. purposes, not for filing claims against the Government etc.
Any charges for the above will be cheerfully defrayed.
Thanking you I am
Very sincerely
(Mrs. Jay S.)

Dear Brother — I received your letter on Sunday last, and I herewith send you my deposition, & it [is] all that I can testify to. I have no recollection of your being in the service but twice, and the first time I know not where you served, nor how long. Your statement to me in your first letter of your services, I cannot testify to. You must apply to those with whom you enlisted & those with which you served. I don't know of any one that was in the service when you was, you must come down to Princeton and inquire for yourself — you know who went from Princeton when you did. You must consider, that it is almost fifty years since you and I were in the service together. It is my wish, that you should get a pension if possible, — but I have testified to all that I can. You must go to some Justice of the Peace and they will tell you what to do with my deposition. My love to your family and friends.

In your letter to me of the 11 th July 1835, respecting the claim of Ulrich Harrington (p. 124, printed Vt.

Wade's Regt. in 1778; and 2 mo. 7 ds. in Roovers Co. in Col. Jacob's Regt. in 1779, and is the amt. of actual service these terms."
To the proofs of service, for the full term of 6 mo. in each of these terms, already adduced, Mr. Harrington is unable to furnish more, than the circumstances , that one John W m , or Winne, was a mess-mate with him in Capt. Belknap's Co.; and that one Ezra White was orderly sergeant in the same Co. a part of the time — and, that James Raymond, W m Parkhurst, Ephraim Parkhurst, and Samuel Ball were also soldiers with him, during some of the terms. He has been unable to find them, and does not know that they are living, so that their testimony could be procured. Nevertheless, it seems both reasonable & just, that he should be allowed for as much time as his comrades.
Should you allow these claims, in whole, or in part, the terms together will somewhat exceed the sum of "10 mo. 7 days" allowed by your letter above quoted.

Sir:
I herewith inclose you a Certificate of Supt Bangs in favor of Ulrich Harrington dated the 9th of March last; and a letter from Noah Harrington, dated the 2. Oct r 1829. The object of this letter is, I suppose, to enable you to identify the signature of Noah Harrington subscribed to the deposition made by himself, and referred to in the beginning of his letter.
I know nothing of the contents of that deposition; nor, as I believe, does Mr. Ulrich Harrington distinctly recollect its contents. But, in as much as Robert Temple had no agency in drawing it up, we presume, therefore, it is not impeached, and that it will be good now, for as much as it proves. And Mr. Harrington expects that that deposition, together with the inclosed Certificate of Mr. Bangs, will prove the amount of time for which he now stands on the Pension List. See printed List, Vermont Pension Roll, p 124. Should this not be the the result, Mr. Harrington desires to have an opportunity to adduce more proof - as he thinks he can do, by making a journey to Princeton in Massachusetts, the place of his former residence during the revolutionary war.

It is obvious that the two terms of six months each originally stated and allowed to Uriah Harrington are the terms of 2 nd 9 days in Belknap's Company in Col Wade's Reg t in 1778 and 2 nd 7 days in Moore's Co y in Col Jacob's Reg t in 1779, and is the count of actual service those terms.
All the actual service of Mr Harrington appears to be 10 mo s 7 days, being the foregoing two terms together with his service in Col Shepherd's Reg t of the Massachusetts line of the Continental Army.
It is therefore necessary that Mr H. return his certificate for reduction, before any order respecting further payment can be made.

Rutland Vt. 15 June 1836
Sir -
In your letter to me of the 11. July 1835, respecting the claim of Uriah Harrington (p. 124, printed 1 st Pension Roll) you remark, "It is obvious that the two terms of 6 months each, originally stated and allowed to Uriah Harrington, are the terms of 2 mo. 9 ds. in Belknap's Company in Col. Wood's Reg t in 1778 - and 2 mo. 7 ds. in Rooyes Co. in Col. Jacobs Reg t in 1779, and is the amt. of actual service these terms."
To the proofs of service for the full term of 6 mo. in each of these terms already adduced, Mr. Harrington is unable to furnish more, than the circumstances , that one John Win, or Wiame, was a mess-mate with him in Capt. Belknap's Co., and that one Ezra White was orderly Sergeant in the same Co. a part of the time - and, that James Raymond, W m Parkhurst, Eph t Parkhurst, and Samuel Ball were also soldiers with him, during some of the terms. He has been unable to find them, and does not know that they are living, so that their testimony could be procured. Nevertheless, it seems but reasonable to just, that he should be allowed for as much as his comrades.
Should you allow these claims, in whole, or in part, the terms together will somewhat exceed the sum of "10 mo. 7 ds" allowed by your letter above quoted.
The former pension Certificate is enclosed for correction.

Sir?
Permit me, respectfully, to solicit your attention and decision in the case of Uriah Harrington, a suspended - and reduced - pensioner. P. 124, printed Vermont Pension Roll. Mr. Harrington is extremely anxious that his case should be decided. And, altho' he is unable now to adduce further proof of service, - the witnesses his comrades having most of them either emigrated to parts unknown to him, or deceased, - yet, he bids me say, that he thinks it but just, that he should receive as much pay, as his fellows of the same corps.
His claim for 6 mos. in Rhode Island, in Capt. Belknap's Co. of Col. Tyler's Reg't, tho' the act. of it was not found in the Supp. Office at Boston; he supposed he could prove by the testimony of W m Parkhurst, & Ephraim Parkhurst, both of whom were members during the term of the same Company; accordingly, he took a journey, at no inconsiderable expense for him, into that part of Massachusetts where he & they formerly resided, for the purpose of procuring their depositions. But, on arriving there, he ascertained, to his great grief, that they had long since migrated to Ohio - and no body knew the particular place of their settlement. He says, that John W m or W m of Sterling, James Raymond & Samuel Ball of Princeton, Mass. were all in the same Co. during this term, but, that they are now all deceased.

Sir
On the 13 th of July last, I addressed you a letter, of that date, to which I beg leave to refer, in respect to the claim to full restoration, of Mr. Uriah Harrington (see printed Vermont Pension Roll, p. 124) who had been suspended since Sept r . 1834, and restored, in part, but had never drawn, under the restoration. Since I commenced the correspondence with the Department on his behalf, Mr. Harrington has removed his residence to Michigan; from which whence he has written me sundry very pressing letters, requesting his certificate to be returned, unless his full pension could be restored. To which letters, I have returned, for answer, that I was awaiting the pleasure of the Pension Office, to which I had returned his reduced certificate, in the hope that it would be revived, & put back on its original footing. Under these circumstances, I shall be pardoned, I trust, for transmitting the inclosed letter to me from his son at Boston, and for respectfully soliciting your earliest convenient attention to Mr. Harrington's claim.

In answer to yours of the 20 th inst t , I send the originals, instead of the copies, of all the letters received by me and in my custody, from your Department, relative to the case of Uriah Harrington a suspended pensioner.
And in as much as the original papers have been "misfiled" and are not yet discovered in your Department, I take leave, moreover, to forward such original copies of my own letters and other papers in the case, as, at the time, I thought might be useful to be retained. In the present state of the claim, I do not perceive that they may be of further service to me; and they may be of some service to the Department. They consist of
A copy of Mr. Harrington's declaration, of 3. Feb. 1835;
Serg. Bangs' Cert. of 9 Mar. 1835 - with sundry memoranda of my own, appended;
A copy of Mr. Harrington's letter of 2. Nov. 1829 - and a memorandum endorsed, of the substance of my letter to the Court of Pensions under date of 27. June, 1835 - of which I retained no copy;
The Court's letter of 10. Feb. 1835, to Mr. Harrington;
The Court's letter of 11. July 1835, to myself; and,
The Original copy of my answer to the latter, dated 15. June, 1836:
to which, I beg leave to ask your particular attention.
Of the other letters subsequently addressed to the Department on the subject, I have kept no copies; as, from recollection, I believe they were merely soliciting a decision.
Mr. Harrington has not, as is supposed in your last, emigrated to Ohio, but to Michigan, though I am not now able; and shall not be, until I hear from his son at Boston, the particular place of his present abode. I should prefer, however, that the new pension Certificate be sent to me; as the son will receive it here, on his way to Michigan; when he intends soon to go, on a visit.

PAID

Rutland 21. Jan'y 1839
Dear Sir—
Uriah Harrington, a suspended pensioner, lately residing in Rutland, Vermont, but for some 2 or 3 years past, at Ypsilanti, Washtena Co. Michigan, has been endeavoring, hitherto in vain, to obtain his pension certificate for a modicum of the annuity which was allowed to him in the first instance. I am incommoded with letters, & letter postage on letters from Willard Harrington, one of the old gentleman's sons in Boston, inquiring why the pension certificate has not been forwarded: to which it is not in my power to return any satisfactory answer.
Sometime last spring (the date I do not recollect, as I sent the letter to young Mr. H.) I received from the Commissioner of Pensions a letter which I presume was elicited by one, which from my book of accounts I see, I addressed to you on the subject, on the 17 th of March last, requesting me to forward copies of the Department's correspondence to me, relative to the case. On turning to my copy of my own letter, I find that the Com r 's letter was dated the 20 th March, 1838. On that occasion, I transmitted the original letters he had addressed to me; and do now suppose, that I did all that was needful, to entitle Mr. Harrington to his certificate. I believe Mr. Edwards stated, that he had mislaid, or misfiled the original papers in the case; which was the reason of asking for copies of his communications to me. I am not aware, that I can do anything more, either to aid Mr. Edwards, or Mr. Harrington. If I can, for either, I shall most willingly do whatever is proper. I beg, however, that something may be done, to relieve me

me from the Boston postages & from the importunity of young Mr. Harrington.
Ulrich Harrington's name stands on the printed pension roll of Vermont, page 124, at $60.00 per annum; and he claims that sum now; tho' I believe the Court has reduced it somewhat, tho' I do not recollect how much, less. The original letter communicating the amount to which he was reduced, is probably now in the Pension Office.
I beg you will excuse me for giving you this trouble; as I would not have done it, were it not for the singular fatality that seems to have attended the claim.
I am very respectfully Sir -
Your ob. serv.

I send herewith, a letter I have just rec d from Genl Gove Esq touching the case of Uriah Harrington. On receiving his letter to me of the 17 th of March last, to which Mr. G. refers, I find that Mr. Harrington was suspended, after September 1834, from a pension of $60, and was restored to a pension for 10 months & 7 days service, that on the 15 th of June 1836 Mr. G. wrote you, & returned the pension Certificate for amendment; and that he again wrote you on the 13 th of July 1837, & yet again on the 5 th of February 1838.
Is Mr. Harrington entitled to a pension, for any amount? And if so, will you have the goodness to cause his certificate to be transmitted to me as soon as practicable?

Gentlemen: — Will you please send me all the data you have concerning Capt. Uriah Harrington, a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He was pensioned. He enlisted from the state of New York, I believe. He afterwards lived in Michigan. Will you also send me the record of Lieut. Samuel Campbell also a Revolutionary soldier. Lieut. Campbell enlisted from the state of Vermont. Lieut. Campbell did not die until 1819 so I assume that he received a pension. I desire this information so that I may enter the D.A.R. Very respectfully Yours, Lena M. Harrington.

Madam:-
In reply to your letter dated the 13 th and received the 14 th instant, you are advised that in the claim W.F.No. 2,543 Rev. War, the name of the parents of Uriah Harrington or of his wife Martha or Patty Adams, are not stated.
Very respectfully,
J. C. Davenport Commissioner.

Dear Sir:-
On Dec. 15, 1912 I wrote you regarding Uriah Harrington of Princeton Mass. a soldier in the Revolutionary War and you very kindly supplied me with the information requested.
It now becomes necessary for me to procure the name of the Father and mother of Uriah Harrington and I am compelled to write you again as I have no other possible way of securing the information. As you will find by reference to the above files Mr. Harrington was born in Rutland, Worcester County, Mass. April 11, 1760. died at Ypsilanti, Mich. Sept. 11, 1839. Without doubt the names of his parents are given in his application for pension. I also need the names of the parents of Patty or Martha Adams' parents who lived at Milford, Mass, I think. Probably that information would be given in her application executed Dec. 21, 1848, as widow of Uriah Harrington.
Sincerely (Mrs) Adele B. Simpson.

Dear Sirs:-
It becomes imperative for me to obtain proof of my ancestry and my descent from a certain Uriah Harrington a soldier of the Revolutionary War who was either a pensioner under your bureau, or whose widow was granted a pension after his death.
Massachusetts State Records that Uriah Harrington a native of Princeton Mass. enlisted for six months service in the fourth Company, Third Mass. Regiment and was discharged Dec. 14, 1780 at West Point that his age was 18 years, his stature five feet seven inches and his complexion fair. But I cannot find his birth or death date. This is what I need. He died in Ypsilanti, Mich. at an advanced age, while his widow died in Boston, Mass
What I would like to have is the dates of Birth, Marriage and death of both Mr. and Mrs. Harrington or Harrington the latter is the real family name, but the Mass. records spell it Herrington, together with Mr. Harrington's service. I know that your bureau is burdened with numerous requests of this kind, but I have tried in every other direction, and am compelled to turn to you.
It may be possible that Uriah Harrington was a member of the Third Mass. Regiment, under Command of Col. Whitney and in Capt. Mirick's Company, but you undoubtedly have the record I seek as an application for pension, for his wife drew this pension until her death in Boston.
I am enclosing stamp for your reply and if there is any expense connected with furnishing this information I shall be glad to bear it.
Hoping to hear from you at an early date I am
Yours very sincerely
(Mrs.) Adele B. Simpson
