the County of Chenango and State of New York, aged eighty five years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated.

In the month of March 1775 I resided in Hadley County of Hampshire and State of Massachusetts and then and there enlisted as a minute man in Capt Fosters Company of infantry.  The company did not join any regiment while I was in it.  The company marched from Hadley to Cambridge near Boston.  I continued therein about five weeks.  I then enlisted (by the consent of Capt Foster) for the term of Eight months in Capt Harneys Company of Infantry in Colonel Jonathan Brewers Regiment of Continental Troops I believe.  John Clark was Lieu who lived in Greenfield Hampshire Country aforesaid one Williams of Montague in said County was ensign.  I was elected fourth Sargeant in said company and served as such for the period of my enlistment Eight months I lay with the company all summer at Prospect Hill near Boston and untill I  was discharged I was on the march towards Bunkers Hill on the day that battle was fought we arrived there just after the battle ended, while our men were carrying away the wounded, I was honorably discharged at the expiration of my time at Prospect Hill.  It was signed by Col Brewer.  I have lost it or it has become destroyed.  I did not suppose it would
Page 8

ever be of any use to me.  In the fore part of April 1776 at Hadley aforesaid I again enlisted for Eight months in Capt David Brewers Company of Infantry in the Massachusetts State Troops.  In Col Brewers Regiment I immediately formed the Company at Hadley and in a few days we marched from Hadley to Ticonderoga thru Williamstown and Halfmoon to Ticonderoga Gen Gates was in command there  I continued there in service about four months when I was taken sick with the fever and ague I continued there sick about four weeks, when my friends sent Oliver Smith, with a horse to take me home.  I obtained a furlough from Gen Gates to go home until fit for duty I went home and continued sick for about four months until after the expiration of my term of enlistment had expired.  That furlough is lost too or destroyed.  I had it amongst my papers, but the last I saw of it is more than 20 years ago and what has become of it I know not.  I think in April 1777 at Hadley aforesaid I again enlisted for 8 months in Capt Smiths company of infantry, in Col Woodbridges Regiment.  Woodbridge lived in South Hadley Capt Smith lived in Hadley.  We marched
Page 9

from Hadley to White Hall on Lake Champlain New York we went by way of Bennington Vermont we continued at White Hall untill Burgoyne was taken in October  I then was marched with the company to Albany where I staid a few days and from there to White Plains where I continued untill the period of enlistment Expired, where I was honorably discharged.  This discharge is also lost or destroyed the later part of November.  I was born in Hadley on the 7th of July 1747.

Dear Madam:


Reference is made to your letter in which you request the

Massachusetts regiment. He enlisted early in April, 1776, and served
eight months in Captain David Brewer's company in Colonel Brewer's
Massachusetts regiment. He enlisted in April, 1777, and served
eight months in Captain Smith's company in Colonel Woodbridge's
Massachusetts regiment.
About 1783, he moved from Hadley, Massachusetts, to Stamford,
Vermont, remained ten years and then moved to Wilmington, Vermont,
from whence he moved to Guilford, Chenango County, New York, where
he was allowed pension on his application executed October 9, 1832.
The soldier died January 11, 1833, in Guilford, New York, at the

Re Moses Clark - W.16537. BA-J/EEL

Dear Sir:

Your reply to my inquiry of Jan. 3rd
was received today. It says " In which you request
information in regard to Moses Clark etc". This is
very far from correct. I did not request in formation
of Moses Clark, but specifically said in the first
line of my letter that I was seeking information
of Sarah Ayres, widow of Moses Clark, a Revolutionary War
pensioner, who became herself a pensioner after
his death "
Your letter of Oct. 31, 1930 states that
she was allowed pension on her application executed
December 9, 1836. "I thought that possibly this
application might contain some information as to her
birth, place of the same, parentage etc. You give
in your letter of Oct. 31, 1930 only her marriage date
and pension application. If her application contains
any further information beside these two items, will
you kindly inform me?
