Chaffey Green of the town of Kendall in the County of Orleans and state of New York being duly sworn says that he now receives from the United States a pension for his services as a soldier in the Revolutionary War. That he was born June 9th 1760 and his brother Jabez Green, now deceased, was born December 19th 1762 at the town of Coventry in the State of Rhode Island.

That the said Jabez Green enlisted as a soldier into the service of the said State of Rhode Island at the said town of Coventry in the month of June in the year 1777. (The day of the month this deponent cannot now state) in the Regiment commanded by Col. John Topham (the same Regiment in which this deponent served). for the term of nine months. That the said Jabez Green served out the said term of nine months in the said Regiment and at the expiration thereof enlisted again in the same Regiment for the term of one year and continued to serve in said Regiment until the expiration of said year and was discharged from the service at Tiverton in said State together with this deponent on the sixteenth day of March 1779 according to the recollection of this deponent. That
Page 6

this deponent cannot now recollect the name of the Captain under whom the said Jabez Green served as he did not serve in the same Company with this deponent. That this deponent served as he thinks the first term of nine months under Captain Gibbs (his first name not recollected) and the year following under Captain Phillip Traffen. That both the said Jabez Green and this deponent were with the troops who landed upon the Island of Rhode Island under the command of General Sullivan in his attempt to get possession of Newport.

That afterwards and in may or June 1780 (the precise time deponent cannot state) the said Jabez Green and this deponent enlisted as soldiers into the service of the State of Massachusetts at Lanesborough in the County of Berkshire for the term of six months & marched from there to West Point & were there placed under the command of a Captain Hitchcock and marched into New Jersey. This deponent served five months and was taken sick and permitted to return home one month before the expiration of the time for which he had enlisted. The said Jabez Green remained in the service when this deponent left the army and did not return home until the expiration
Page 7

of the six months and this deponent understood from him then & believes that he served out the term of six months for which he had enlisted.

This deponent further says that the said Jabez Green was married to Abigail Wilcox at Lanesborough in the County of Berkshire and State of Massachusetts and this deponent was present at such marriage. That this deponent cannot from his own recollection state the day of such marriage, but from a memorandum in the hand writing of said Jabez Green which is now shewn to deponent and which he recognizes to be the hand writing of said Jabez and believes to be correct it appears that the said marriage was on the 7th of October 1784 and from the same memorandum in the hand writing of said Jabez Green it appears (as is above stated) that he was born dec 19th 1762.

This deponent further says that the said Jabez Green died at the town of Scipio in the County of Cayuga & State of New York on or about the 19th day of September 1804 according to the recollection of this deponent.

And this deponent further says that the said Abigail Wilcox (now Abigail Green) to whom the said
Page 8

Jabez Green was married as above mentioned is still living at the town of Rush in the County of Monroe aforesaid and has never been married since the death of said Jabez Green as this deponent believes and further this deponent says not.

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the pension record of your ancestor, Jabez Green, a Revolutionary War soldier, of Rhode Island, who died in Scipio, New York, in 1804 and whose widow applied for pension in 1839.

Jabez Green was born December 19, 1762, in Coventry, Rhode Island. He was the son of Nathan Green, as shown in the papers on file in the claim for pension, W.2611, based upon the service of his brother Chaffey Green, in the Revolutionary War. The name of the mother of Jabez and Chaffey Green is not given.

Jabez Green enlisted in Coventry or in West Greenwich, Rhode Island, June 18, 1777, served as private in Captain Gibbs' Company, Colonel John Topham's Rhode Island Regiment until March 16, 1778, on which date he reenlisted, served as a private in Captain Hoppin's Company in the same regiment, was in General Sullivan's Rhode Island Expedition and was discharged March 16, 1779.

He enlisted at Lanesboro, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, June 16, 1780, and served six months as a private in Captain Hitchcock's Company, Colonel Sprout's Massachusetts Regiment.

Jabez Green died September 19, 1804, in Scipio, Cayuga County, New York.

The soldier married October 7, 1784, in Lanesboro, Massachusetts, Abigail Willcox, who was born March 27, 1761, place of her birth and names of her parents not shown.

Dear Sir I received a letter from a man at the City of Washington by the name of John M. Thayer in July last stating that he was a pension agent and that he would procure the papers for Abigail Green a pensioner of the revolutionary war for a fee of three dollars. I forwarded to him the money and stated all the facts in the case within my knowledge as far as I could recollect and waited for some time and got no answer.

I therefore have taken the liberty to address you in her behalf.

I will state to you that Abigail Green the present pensioner was the wife of Jabez Green and that they were married on the 7th day of October in the year 1784 and that he died on the 19th of September 1804 and the said Abigail Green (illegible) a pension for the services of her late husband as a soldier in the revolutionary army and that he served in the Rhode Island line and also in the New Jersey line and that she is inscribed on the pension list under the act of Congress passed July 7th 1838 and also under the act of the 4th of March 1843 at the rate of $60.44 per annum and that she is still the widow of the said Jabez Green deceased.

I hope sir that you will be so good as to forward her certificate of the act of July 29th 1848 or in other words her papers to entitle her to the pension of the last act of Congress

Sir,
The papers of Mrs. Abigail Green, widow
of Jabez Green, have been examined and filed. It is
alleged that the claimants husband served six months
in Col Topham's regiment, Capt. Topin's company in
the State of Rhode Island, six months under Captain
Gibbs and Capt. Hitchcock in the State of Massachusetts
but unless the first names of the Captains, and the names
of the regimental officers are given, there can be no
satisfactory investigation as to the two last last mentioned
tours. By the rolls of Col Topham's regiment it appears
that Jabez Green served therein twelve months; which
is all that can be allowed to the claimant upon the
proof in this case as now presented
