say that I was well acquainted with Philip Spaulding deceased
during the Revolutionary war. He resided in Paxton Vermont
about a mile from my residence and was taken by the
Brisith as a prisoner of war at Paxton aforesaid on a
about the Eleventh day of November 1777 and carried into
Canada and confined in Quebec jail or Provo, from then  until January 1779 when he and several other prisoners
confined with him escaped through the chamber floor.
a portion of them were afterwards retaken in the woods
said Spaulding as I afterwards was informed and believe
returned to Paxton Vermont and served four months
as a Private in Capt. Thomas Sawyers Company of Vermont
Militia in the summer and Autumn of 1779 said Philip
Spaulding as Deponant was also informed and believes
served four months and a half as a private under Lieut
Benjamin Everest during the years 1779 & 80 and three
or four weeks in Col. Ebenezer Allen's Regiment of
Vermont troops during the same year. The foregoing services
have frequently been the subject of conversation between
Deponent and said Philip Spaulding in his life time
and Deponent's knowledge of said service is derived from
what he heard from said Philip Spaulding and other
persons soon after the war Deponant remained in
said prison at Quebec until July 26. 1782 when he was
exchanged at Skeenesborough N.Y. Deponant further
says that he has been informed and believes that said
Philip Spaulding was married to Hannah Sturgess at
Danby Vermont during the year 1781, and died at
Paxton aforesaid on or about the twenty sixth day of
April 1821 leaving Hannah Spaulding a widow and

State of Vermont & lived there till the close of the Revolutionary War
when I removed to Ferrisburgh, adjoining Paxton his
the County of Addison in said State. While I lived at
Danby I knew Philip Spalding & Hannah Sturgess &
know by common report that they were there married
by one Thomas Rowley Esq, who, according to the best
of my recollection was then the only Justice of the Peace
in said town of Danby. There was considerable public talk
to about their intention of marriage. I was not present
at the marriage but heard it conversed about the next morning after
it was stated to have taken place. they lived together
from that time. They removed away from Danby about
two years before I did & established themselves in Paxton
When I came to him in Ferrisburgh they were living together as husband & wife in Paxton & continued so to live
until Mr Spalding's death about twenty years ago. I
have no doubt that they were legally married & I was
heard any doubt expressed about it either at Danby or
