Declaration of Sarah Stelle widow of Thomson Stelle, dec in order to obtain the benefit of the 3d section of the act of Congress of the 4th of July 1836

State of New Jersey
Middlesex County  ss

On this twenty first day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred & thirty six, before the Court of Common Pleas in and for said county now setting, personally appeared Sarah Stelle, a resident of said County, aged ninety one years, who being duly sworn according to law on the oath doth make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress passed on the 4th of July 1836:
That she is the widow of Thomson Stelle, late of the township of Piscataway, County of Middlesex, and State of New Jersey:  that her husband was in the service of the Revolution, and held the commission and rank of Captain:  that with her infeebled recollection at this very remote period , she cannot pretend to anything like a full relation of the services which her husband performed, nor indeed can it be expected that the [illegible] vivid impression would remain upon her mind as upon the minds of those actually engaged in the duties of that day;  she nevertheless is enabled to say with full conviction of its integrity, that as early as 1775 in the fall of the year, as she thinks, her husband , the said Thomson Settle preformed a tour of duty on Long Island, for the purpose 
as was said at the time of disarming a large body of tories collected there.  This tour lasted certainly two weeks, she thinks it was longer.  In this tour, as in every other throughout his service, he acted as Captain.  He held the Commission before the was actually commenced.  What became of l[illegible] commission she does not know, he has it not.  She remembers very well the great alarm that was excited in the early par of 1776 and the call that was made at that time upon the whole body of the Jersey militia
