I, Elizabeth Adams of Exeter in New Hampshire aged seventy five years and upwards testify and say that I have been acquainted with Mrs. Lydia Fogg widow of Jeremiah Fogg who was a Major in the Army of the Revolution  for fifty three years.  My acquaintance commenced with her at Kensington in this State, before she was married, while she was Lydia Hill, then of Cambridge, Mass.  She was visiting her brother who was keeping school in Kensington.  I was then of Exeter, but on a visit to Kensington to my relations there living.  I went with Miss Hill, while we were at Kensington, to my Grandfather the Ref Jeremiah Fogg, the minister of that town.  Soon after her return to Cambridge, I heard that my uncle Major Jeremiah Fogg was engaged to her.  It was talked of and generally understood by his relatives and friends.  I removed to Durham in the summer of 1785 and the winter following I heard of my Uncle Fogg's marriage to Miss Hill.  Soon after their marriage the removed to my Grandfathers house in Kensington where they have ever lived since, so long as my Uncle lived, and my aunt still lives in the same house.  I have been intimate with them from the time of my first acquaintance with her -  used frequently to visit them at my Grandfathers in Exeter - and have been much with them.  They had a large family - of whom
Page 41

[this page is 2 of 2 from Fold3 File #17873255 aka page 7 of this series] 
one son and three daughters are living.  My uncle the said Jeremiah Fogg died at Kensington about thirty years ago, in the spring of the year- and my Aunt, the said Lydia Fogg, has not since remarried and is his widow.

I recollect the the time of his marriage with miss Lydia Hill but was not at their wedding:  with her since her marriage I have been and still am acquainted.

I Winthrop Wiggin of Kensington in the County of Rockingham and State of New Hampshire aged ninety three years and upwards testify and say that I was in the Army of the United States during the revolutionary war most of the time from the battle of Bunker Hill to the close of the war under various enlistments.  From June 1775 to January 1776 I was in Capt Adams company in Col Poor's Regiment being a New Hampshire Regiment during the time Jeremiah Fogg was in the same regiment and I think a Lieutenant in Gilman's Company but I am not certain - and he had duty  in the staff as Adjutant If I remember rightly.  In the year 1776 and during all that year I was a soldier in said Adams Company and the said Jeremiah Fogg was the Lieutenant of said Company - and the said Fogg was also during this year (1776) in the staff.  In the year 1777, I served in a Massachusetts Regiment commanded by Col Johnson and was at the taking of Burgoyne where my former Capt (Winburne Adams, then a Colonel) was killed.  The said Jeremiah Fogg was still in the service and in Poor's Regiment, and was at the taking of Burgoyne..  He was in 1777 the Paymaster of Poor's Regiment.  After Col Poor was appointed a General said Fogg, who had risen to the rank of Captain, was also
Page 45

[continued from document 3 of 46]
[ap]pointed aid to the General as Brigade Major.  I am not certain which but believe he did the duty of both until Gen. Poor's death - and after the General's death he (said Fogg) commanded a company until the close of the war - and was at the encampment at Newburgh when the company was disbanded.
Sometime after the close of the war I removed to Kensington and have lived in Kensington more that forty years.  The said Major Jeremiah Fogg was a native of said Kensington and was living in said town when I moved into it and continued to live in it till his death.  I knew him well in the Army  and until his death.  He died about thirty years ago and I attended his funeral.  His widow is still living where the Major was born and where he lived while he lived in this town - within a half a mile of my house, and since her husbands death she has never married again but has always remained and still is the widow of said Jeremiah Fogg.
