On this sixth day of November in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred & thirty eight personally appeared before the Court of Probate of Wills within afore said county of Grafton holden at Plymouth within & for said county being a court of Record, Tamar Taylor a resident of Campton in said county of Grafton; aged seventy one years, who being first duly sworn according to law doth on her oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the Act of congress, passed July 7, 1838, entitled "an act granting half pay & pensions to certain widows" that she is the widow of Oliver Taylor late of said Campton, who was a private in the United States service, in the army of the Revolution. The day month or year, when her said husband Oliver Taylor entered & left the said Service, she cannot state - that he was under only one engagement she remembers his declaring, & believes the same- the names or rank of the officers under whom he served, she does not know, or remember now, definitely enough to state it, that
Page 10

she heard her said husband in his life time declare - that she always understood him, that e enlisted into paid services, in said Campton, where he then resided, - that he was a volunteer, that he enlisted & served as "a three year's man", - the battles he was in, if any, or the counties thro' which he marched, she does not remember hearing him mention, & has no knowledge, & that she has no documentary evidence in support of her said claim.
She further declares that she was married to the said Oliver Taylor on the twentyfourth day of October, in the year of our Lord seventeen hundred eighty nine, that her husband the aforesaid Oliver Taylor died on the eighth day of June, in the year of Our Lord eighteen hundred & twelve.

Elijah Taylor affidavit
Page 13

I Elijah Taylor of Compton in the county of Grafton & State of Newhampshire, aged forty six years past, depose & say, that my late father Edward Taylor late of Campton aforesaid, died at said Campton, May 22d 1835. He was a revolutionary pensioner at the time of his death. Oliver Taylor formerly of said Campton was my uncle.  He died at Compton in 1812 in June, on the eighth day. I was at his funeral & in his house immediately after his death. His widow Mrs. Tamar Taylor, has lived in Campton & remained unmarried ever since, & is so now. I have often heard my uncle Oliver Taylor in his life time speak of his being out in the revolutionary service, have often heard him & my father talk together, hours at a time, of their being out together & tell of what they saw & what took place in the war.  I have heard my father say that my uncle enlisted before he did, & that they went to Concord together, & passed muster there. That he (my father) came home after he had been out about a year & went back again, in the Spring of the year, that he was out over three years, if I remember right. I further say that I have always understood that my said aunt Tamar was my said uncle Oliver's first wife. That Esther Taylor, said Tamar's & Oliver's fifth child, as I always understood, died about two years since, & was two years older, as I always understood it, than I was. & my cousin John Taylor, who now lives in Charleston Massachusetts, is about my age - only about two months odds in our ages.
Page 14

I have no doubt, from all I used to hear & all I know, that my said uncle was a revolutionary soldier, in service of the United States - all the time my father was, & that he & my said aunt Tamar were married before 1790. Their children besides the two I have mentioned, were Phobe (who died young), Ebenezer, Nancy, Rebecca, Eliza, Oliver, Gilman, & Phoebe. Said Ebenezer & Rebecca are dead, the others living.

I Jacob Sullingham of Thornton n the County of Grafton & State of New Hampshire aged seventy eight years the 25th day of December coming a revolutionary pensioner of the United States do depose & say that I entitled in said Thornton into the Revolutionary service of the United States in June (1778) seventeen hundred & seventy eight. That Edward Taylor of Campton in said county went into the service with me.
He had been in the service as a three years man & been home on a furlough. He had been about a year in the service then to the best of my memory & his brother Oliver Taylor also, who I [illegible] stood enlisted at the same time with him & for the same period, & was then sick at Valley Forge. I went on with said Edward & [illegible] the army the day of Monmouth Battle.
We went on with Lieut. Hardey of Exeter under Capt. Livermore of Concord N. H.  Soon after we joined the army said Oliver Taylor joined up. I enlisted for two years & served out that tie & said Oliver Taylor continued in the service the same time with me & returned with me to New Hampshire. We were discharged at West Point in 1780. My discharge I gave up to Judge Thornton afterwards. Said Oliver Taylor was I believe transferred to some other
Page 38

company than Capt. Livermore's - under what Captain I don't remember. Our Col. was Henry Dearborn. We marched from Monmouth to Princeton from Princeton to White Plains, from there to Windsor on North River. After that we went to the west under General Sullivan - or westerly into the Susquehanna country. We had a battle with the Indians or kind of skirmish at a place called Newtown. We afterwards returned & wintered at Danbury inn Connecticut. In the Spring we went to West Point & staid there till we were discharged. Said Edward Taylor has been dead three or four years. He died a pensioner. Oliver Taylor has been dead a good many years Oliver Taylor was in the service two years with me or the same time I was, & had been out as, I understood a year when I enlisted. He was a private soldier. His widow is still living in Campton. Said Oliver was a [illegible] soldier as I always understood.

Could you inform me whether Oliver Taylor of West Campton, New Hampshire, was a United States pensioner? He enlisted April 10, 1777, for the Concord Parish according to captain Livermore returns January 1, 1780 and served three years, till April 10, 1780.
I think he was enrolled by Captain Frye and served as private in the 4th company of the 3rd regiment (Col, Scammell).
If a pensioner, you probably have an account of the engagements in which he was; the information I desire to get at.
