Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S. 4406, it appears that Nathan Holister was born November 21, 1759 at Sharon, Connecticut.
While residing at said Sharon, he enlisted March 1, 1776 and served as a private in Captain David Noble's Company, Colonel John Paterson's Regiment until January 1, 1777, when he volunteered and served forty-two days in Captain Hart's Company, he was in the battles of Trenton and Princeton. He enlisted in November or December 1778 and served fourteen days under Lieutenant John Canfield with the Connecticut Troops; and enlisted September 14, 1779 and served two months in Captain Elisha Toby's Company.
He was allowed pension on his application executed June 16, 1818, while a resident of Monroe County, Ohio.
In 1820, soldier's wife, Abigail (she was the

daughter of Abner Goodrich) was fifty-nine years old, son, John, was twenty-one years old, and daughter, Ame(?) was seventeen years old.
There are no further data as to infant  child children.
Owing to the very large number of similar inquiries and the lack of a clerical force available for the purpose, the Bureau is unable to make immediate reply to inquiries pertaining to soldiers of the Revolution.
Such information is furnished by courtesy of the Government and without fee and letters are being answered as rapidly as possible in the order of their receipt.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.

The enclosed is a case where the Claimant was receiving $8. per month under the Act of June  March 18. 1818. — He requested to be placed on the Pension list under the Act 7. June 1832. He now files a new declaration, claiming two tours in the Militia one of 4. weeks and one of 2 Months together with his 10 Months ser- -vices in Continental Army. — As he now sees his error I expect he wishes to be placed on the roll under the Act of 18 June  March 1818. — In this case I am at a loss how to proceed and have therefore referred the papers to you

Sir considering my duty of care to the public in General I am induced to make the following Statement. Nathan Welliston who has lately Been on his declaration & schedule of his property in order to draw a pension of the United States was lately tried for perjury and was acquitted on the above declaration. Nevertheless it was proven in Court that the 87 Acres of Land was worth $6000 and in fact he has other property that is not in the Schedule the Auditor of State has Been on in his new list for tax a quarter Section of Land he is certainly worth $10000 if he had not made it out of his hands for the purpose of taking the advantage of the Law, perhaps a new declaration and schedule might put a stop to it or have five or six disinterested men to value it for if so as sure you that he is not entitled to it from Situation no more than any other man who been the hardship of the revolution he has no family but what is able to maintain themselves his father in law mentioned in his declaration Mr Goodrich is on pension list and draws a Sergeant pay. I am yours with due respect &c B. M. Minor

Enclosed I send you the pension certificate of Nathan Hollister who's declaration was forwarded for Reconsideration. he has drawn on this certificate up to the 4 th of Sept 1833.
This pensioner will not in all probability want his pension long he is almost helpless - and his necessity compelled him to draw on this certificate or he would have waited for the reexamination of his case -
there can be no doubt as to the justness of his claim place him as high as you can and you will confer the favours of his country on one who is needy

To J. L. Edwards Esqr
Commissioner of Pensions
Sir, Nathan Hollister a Soldier of the Revolution received a Certificate of a Pension for $33,66 per Annum, and he suposes that there is a mistake by some means, as his declaration was for 10 months service under an Enlistment & as he was a volunteer for Six weeks & two Militia tours in addition to his regular Services he has made out a declaration in the Court of Common Pleas containing a statement of the whole of his service in the revolutionary war hoping that his claim will be reexamined and that he may be placed upon the pension roll at the rate his time of services require.
As he was placed on the Pension roll of the act of Congress of 18th March 1818 allowing pensions to those who had served 9 months &c, supposing that he would be placed upon the roll now at the rate he formerly received, but finding he was under a mistake not knowing at the time his declaration was made last September what the law was on the subject, and hopes a just decision in his case as he went by the advice of others in that Application
Enclosed is his certificate for a pension  Enclosed is his declaration of the 4th of June 1833 containing a statement of all of his Services in the revolutionary war believing this is all that is necessary to decide his cause
