[R. 6-220] [Petition from John Powell and Nehemiah Lovell.]
To the Honble the General Court of the State of New Hampshire - The petition of John Powell of Strafford in the county of Orange & State of Vermont and Nehemiah Lovell of Newbury in said county Humbly sheweth - That your Petitioners were sent into Can- ada by order of Col. Timothy Bedel in the year 1777 the said John being then a Lieutenant & said Nehemiah an Ensign as a flagg of truce and were detained by British authority as spies nearly one whole year by reason of offence taken by Gen1 Carleton in consequence of the death of Col Gordon who was slain near St Johns at a time when the United States had a flagg in the Garrison of St Johns. During our captivity we underwent a great degree of anxiety & pain of mind & were forced to bear the insults offered us by our enemies -and were entirely destitute of the necessaries of life being almost naked; & having nothing wherewith we were enabled to make pur- chases were forced by extremities in order to obtain relief to draw our set of bills of exchange payable to James Freeman for value received of Constant Freeman on Col. Timothy Bedel the officer who ordered us out, for the sum of fifty Spanish milled dollars which set of bills were dated June 30th 1778 at Quebec which sum so re- ceived of said Constant we applied to the supplying necessaries for sick fellow prisoners & for our own support - all which we did under a conviction that said Bedel would accept and pay said bills in behalf of & for the State of New Hampshire and after that time supposed they were so paid until the year 1793 when an action was commenced against us by said Constant upon said bills at the Inferior court of common pleas for the County of Cheshire in said State at their Sept" term in said year and after contesting the action from court to court in pursuance of & in conformity to advice of council Judgment was finally rendered against us upon a verdict of Jury at the Supr court in said county of Cheshire June term by adjournment from their May term 1795. - Upon which judgment execution hath issued for the sum of one hundred dollars seventy five cents damage and thirty two . dollars fifty eight cents cost of suit - which execution your petition- ers have been obliged to discharge & have discharged - Your Pe- titioners therefore humbly pray your honors to take our unhappy case under your consideration as we are destitute of all hope of relief, which we consider as our just due, unless your honors in your wis- dom shall see fit to assist us -
Resting assured that your honors will not suffer individuals to be injured in their private interest & in their persons for the benefit

[Morris and John Millet were in the service for the town of Tem- ple. John was returned as dead in one of Captain William Scott's monthly returns, now on file in the Bureau of Pensions at Washing- ton, and in the town returns printed in Vol. XVI. p. 521. That he was not dead is proved by the following testimony :
In 1818 he was residing in Arundel, Maine, and applied for a pen- sion, making a declaration from which the following extract is taken : " Sometime in the month of March, 1777, he enlisted under a recruit- ing officer belonging to the New Hampshire Troops for the term of three years or during the war, and immediately proceeded to Ticon- deroga, where he was under a captain of the name of William Scott, and in the regiment commanded by Colo Joseph Cilley . . . . Some- time in Dec' 1778 when being sick, and in a state of mental derange- ment, he received a furlough for Forty days, and was brought home by his brother who was a Sergeant in Said Company, and not again recovering his health for a year or more he did not return to the Army" - The monthly return of Captain Scott's company for Novem- ber, 1778, on file in the Pension Bureau, shows that John Millet was furloughed on the twentieth day of that month. His widow, who was living in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1853, stated in a paper relating to her pension, that her husband was born in Gloucester, Mass., in 1761, and died December 10, 1840. This information and the fol- lowing deposition are kindly furnished by General James B. Coit, of the Pension Bureau, at Washington. - ED.]

in the 2d. New Hampshire Regt. Commanded by Col. George Reid in the Continental Revolutionary Army and was personally acquainted with John Millet who was a soldier in Capt. William Scotts company in the first New Hampshire Regt. Commanded by Col. Joseph Cil- ley. I became acquainted with him at the opening of the Campaign of 1777 he was in the battle at Bemis Heights on the 19th of Sep- tember 1777 and in battle on the 7th. of October near the same place and in the same year and continued faithfully to serve in said com- pany and Regt. which was cantooned at Valley Forge in Pennsylva- nia the winter of 1778 and was marched to Hartford in Connecticut in the fall of said year and was there taken with a mental derange- ment which continued for a considerable time and he was furloughed and did not to my knowledge join said Company again and I was informed by his brother Morris Millet who was a Sergeant in said Company that John his brother was dead. But afterwards I was informed that it was a mistake, and that he had recovered his health and senses, I think he was returned dead in the Weekly returns and Muster Rolls, however I am positive that he continued to serve eighteen months in the years 1777 & 1778 and I know that John Mil- let of Arundel in the district of Main now in my presance is the Identical man which did the service above Stated.

[COPIES FROM ANCIENT ENGLISH DOCU-
MENTS.
The following documents were copied from papers among the Eng- lish Archives in London, under the supervision and at the expense of the late John Scribner Jenness, of Portsmouth. Mr. Jenness caused a few copies to be printed, but none are now to be obtained ; and as the papers give much light concerning the early history of New Hampshire, which is nowhere else to be found in this country, and for which there is considerable demand among historical students, it has been deemed best to print them in this volume.
Much credit is due to Mr. Jenness for procuring these transcripts, and rendering them available to the public.
Many other documents relating to New Hampshire, of dates sub- sequent to these, are to be found in the English Archives. The Historical Society of New Hampshire has obtained copies of some of them, and a calendar of many others, which it is hoped will be printed in the near future, and the matter they contain thus made accessible to our citizens. - ED. ]
