Declaration of 
Celia Eddy under
Act July 4, 1836.


Mrs. Eddy claims as the widow of Timothy Coggeshall who died before 1806, when she married to her late husband Eddy, who died in 1833.  Coggeshall early in the year 1780 having been married in 1778 or 1779 entered on board a privateers which was shortly after wrecked on the Jersey coast and he with others went to New London and entered on board the Continental ship Trubmull for a cruise of 6 months.
Coggeshall served as a Midshipman six or seven months and was discharged at Philadelphia in the fall of the year 1780.  Now if there are records in the Pension Office which shows the service of Coggeshall in the Trumbull. 
Mrs. Eddy will be governed by it.
She is too poor to look up further evidence.
