LETTER FROM DANIEL SULLIVAN
Copied from original letter on file at the State House, Boston, 1779.
To the Honorable, the Council and Honorable House of Representatives of the State of Mass. Bay in General Court assembled at Boston.
The Petition of Daniel Sullivan humbly showeth that your petitioner had the honor to command a company of volunteers at the late unfortunate expedition, Penobscot, and at the re- quest of his company came up to Boston to make up and exhibit his Muster Roll for Payment, which Roll the Committee on Rolls have passed, and it now lays with the Honorable Council for a warrant on the Treas. but their honors are of the opinion that cannot give warrant payable to your petitioner as petitioners has not orders from the individuals of the company to receive their pay. Your petitioner would beg leave to observe that he has made up sundry rolls for services to the state, upon all which he has always received a currant on the Treasury for the foot of his master rolls and afterwards paid every individual man made up in said rolls his full wages and without any deduction whatever, and as the several persons made up in his
154
present roll live at a distance from each other, and he at a great expense and their desire, come up duly to receive for them their pay.
We humbly pray your Honors would be pleased to order that he may be allowed to receive the foot of his present master rolls, he having no order notwithstanding.
And as in bound shall pay account.

Petition of James Sullivan for the exchange of Daniel Sulli- van, 1781. Copied from the original teller on file at the State House, Boston.
To the Honorable, the Senate and the Honorables, The House of Representatives in General Court Assembled.
The memorial of James Sullivan most humbly presents that upon the sixteenth day of March last one Danial Sullivan, a brother to your memorialist, and who was a commander of a company of Militia in the County of Lincoln and had his residence near the line of the enemy, there was surprised in the night time by the enemy. His house with all it contents re- duced to ashes, and himself carried a prisoner to New York, whereby his family consisting principally of young children was then rendered and as yet remain destitute of shelter from the weather and of victuals and clothing, and what renders their calamity more distressing and insupportable is that they are placed in an uncultivated part of the Country, where the con- stant depredation of the enemy added to the usual scarcity of provisions under the people in their vicinity unable to give them any considerable relief. Your memorialist upon application finds that Congress, nor their commisary of prisoners can ex- change any one for him, because he was not a Continual officer, and upon application to the Supreme executive of this State is informed that there is an act of the Legislature in existance and lately made, which puts it out of the power of the Government and council to exchange a British subject for one of their own although the British is taken by the private force of this com- monwealth, from which circumstances your memorialist needed thus to trouble your honors and while he feels himself distressed
155
for the unhappy sufferer who is the subject of this petition, he is still more affected to find that as the exchange of prisoners is to be conducted by the above mentioned act the subjects of this State when taken, are in all probability doomed to a miserable existence in a prison ship, an idea so exceedingly distressing and replete with horror will most certainly include everyone who lives in an invaded part of the Government to make his peace with Enemy or to remove himself to a place of security, the consequence of either of which will be fatal to the country, memorialist is obliged further to add while others in that country more cautions than the above mentioned prisoner either made their peace with the enemy or removed to place of safety, he was on all occasions leading the militia in his vicinity to repel their hungry and vindictive outrages and this alone could induce them to make one of no higher rank than Captain the sole objective of an expedition.
Upon the whole matter your memorialist does most humbly pray that your Honors as an encouragment to others to behave with similar faithfulness and bravery, and in pity to a suffering family would direct his exchange to be effective in some way or other.

THE SIMPSON FAMILY Of York and Hancock County, Maine First Generation
The first representative of this family in America was Henry Simpson who came from England sometime during the period between the years 1630 and 1640. He settled in what is now the town of York, Maine, then a portion of the Colony of Massachusetts. From the fact the name of Simpson does not appear among the signers of the submission to Massachusetts, which was signed in 1652 by all the residents of the district, we conclude he must have died previous to that year and that no children were sufficiently old enough to sign it. We have no record of his children with the exception of one whose name
156
was also Henry, and whom we think was born about the year 1647, and died sometime during the year 1695.
