The U.S., Revolutionary War Pensioners list, 1801-1815, 1818-1872, lists my fifth great grandfather as Nathaniel L Chace. The entire federal pension rolls in 1834 contained about 43,000 claimants. In his annual report to Congress in 1834, the Commissioner of Pensions reported that there were then 27,978 pensioners on the rolls claiming pensions under the 1832 act claiming benefits of $2,325,000 per year. Everyone who claimed benefits under this act were required to relinquish their claims under any prior federal or state pension laws, but by amendment on 19 Feb1833, invalid pensioners were exempted from the operation of this release of their prior pension benefits. Benefits were payable effective, without regard to financial need or disability, and widows or children were entitled to collect any unpaid benefits due the veteran at the time of his death. Men who served less than 2 years, but at least 6 months, received pensions of less than full pay. This act provided full pay for life for all officers and enlistees who served at least 2 years in the Continental Line, the state troops or militia, the navy, or marines.

This could only mean that Nathaniel and his wife, Lydia Dustin, were living alone. According to the 1810 Census there was one “Free White Persons – Males – 45 and over” and one “Free White Persons – Females – 45 and over” with only two “Number of Household Members Over 25” for a total of two “Number of Household Members”. Nathaniel’s residence on was Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts. Chase, my fourth great-grandfather, was born on in Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts, but Ezra died in Oct 1859 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The birth of Nathaniel’s third son (my fourth great grand uncle) John Chase on in Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts, may provide an indication that Nathaniel was home at the time (Lydia having become pregnant around the time he enlisted). During this enlistment he served 13 ½ days, travel included, on an alarm at Rhode Island. A warrant for pay allowed in the Massachusetts Council, dated.A pay entry for 1777 which may indicate he returned to military service.A pay abstract also exists for the milage from Albany, NY to Nathaniel’s home, about 250 miles along the old Mohawk Trail which had been somewhat developed starting in 1750.I also discovered additional documentation such as: Nathaniel also had a warrant for pay allowed in the Massachusetts Council, dated.
