Barnet Cole age 59 years, resident in Malta, in the county of Kennebec, with said circuit, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath, declare that he served in the Revolutionary War as follows, viz.: In the Company commanded by Captain John Blanchard and Regiment Commanded by Colonel James Wisson of the line of the State of Massachusetts upon the Continental Establishment, for the period of three years, that he was at the taking of Burgoyne, That his original declaration was made before Judge Weston on the 27 day of March 1818; that he is now on the Maine Roll and that his pension certificate is number 6134.

Barnet made application in April of 1835 and received his certificate from the State of Maine land office for two hundred acres of land on August 14, 1835. In December of 1835 he wrote to land agent John Hodgson Esq. asking him to make petition for the land he was entitled to and he would be glad to have that selection made in the Indian Purchase. In his file it states that Barnet requested that the land agent select his land for him. Lot No. 42 in Letter D drawn July 1, 1836 conveyed to granter on July 1,1836.

Research Notes

I just realized something is wrong here. I need to sort out who is who. I think the DAR record for this Bernard/ Barnet lists the wrong spouse . The children and Susannah, it appears, are not the spouse and children of this Bernard but are the spouse and children of Bernard died before April 4, 1814. Further research is needed. (There were two different individuals named Barnet Cole, one from New Hampshire and one from Pennsylvania. This biography has mixed information from both individuals and needs to be sorted out.)

My wife Susanna, Grandson David McClain, Sons Tunis, William and Barnet. Daughters Anna Crow, Susanna Cole, Rebecca and Keziah Jones, Jemima Crow, Nancy Hutchinson and Sara Cole. (These are the children of the Barnet Cole from Washington, Pennsylvania, not the children of Barnet Cole of Grafton, N.H.)

Although the source is cited as "Probate Record" I haven't found a record of the will being proven. So this probably is Barnet Cole who died in 1836 but had written his will earlier in Washington County, Pennsylvania possibly because he had fallen gravely ill and thought he may die. Still researching. (He was never in Washington County, Pennsylvania, and this is not his will, and these are not his children. This person is well documented in FamilySearch after years of research and changes need to be made to this profile.)
