Nathaniel Farr Signature
Nathaniel was over 86 yrs. old when he signed his declaration of pension. He told the story of his service in presence of Reuben Washburn, his attorney hired to secure the pension, (Reuben was father of Gov. Peter T. Washburn of Vt.) and Jabez Proctor (who was the father of Gov. Redfield Proctor who would later be America's Secretary of War) Nathaniel Farr was clear of mind and proud to relate his experience. This signature is important showing that he was a learned man. The majority of pensioners at his age could not write their own name and signed with a Mark of "X" |
