I William Cook of Tiverton in the County of Newport and State of Rhode Island of Lawful age, having heretofore given my testimony in the matter of the application of Peace Taber widow of Isaac Taber, for a Pension, and being called upon for further testimony, do testify and say, that said Isaac Taber served in the Militia as before stated, one month in December 1776 at one time, and that he served in the first part of the year 1777 two tours, each tour one months duration,- that he served in 1778 & in 1779 I fully believe 10 months- but I cannot be positive at this late day - I know he served one month in August 1778 in Sullivans expedition on Rhode Island; and also in the year before, to wit, in Spencer's expedition one month. and I know he served other months in 1778 & 1779 - I say certainly not less than two in 1778 - and not less than four in 1779 - and from my recollection I believe as I before observed not less than ten - all those services were for the term of one month each - and he served one month at Butt's hill as stated in my former deposition. when at Butts hill he was nine miles from home, we were in garrison Col Church & Lieu Col Baley were there, probably four hundred men embodied.- all his other service (except when on the Island under Gen. Sullivan.) - was in Tiverton and was in garrison near fogland ferry, where the river is but a mile wide, and on the opposite shore were the enemy - and he was then about three miles from home, there were embodied of our Company in each of said tours about forty or fifty, the whole number embodied under our field officers were probably two hundred or more and they were stationed at different points along the shore. Col Cook lived within a half mile of the shore - and our Lieu. Col. Pardon Gray lived about two miles further North and within three fourths of a mile from the Shore - Capt. Cook & Lieu Cory of our Company lived within a mile of the shore, and Ensign Manchester but a little further off - One or more of the field Officers were always present in command, and two at least of the Company officers. - we were paid and Subsisted by the State, we drew our provisions from a Magazine kept at Howland's ferry. General Varnum had the command of us some part of the time, he had his headquarters at the house of our Lieu. Col. Pardon Gray - General Cornell had the chief command most of the time his headquarters were at Barkers a little North of Howland's ferry - I have been in the Rhode Island State Service, and the Militia Service was as much military service as the State Service - they were paid and subsisted in the same manner. - the Militia were called into the service by the State and not by the town of Tiverton.

I William Cook of Tiverton in the County of Newport and State of Rhode Island a Revolutionary Soldier Eighty three years of age, on my oath, do depose and say, that I was very well acquainted with Isaac Taber late of this town deceased, and whose widow, Peace Taber, also well known to me, and who has never married since the decease of said Isaac, is an applicant for a pension, said Isaac died about five years ago, and his health had been bad and his mind much impaired for some months before his death said Isaac at the time of the War of the Revolution was enrolled and belonged to Capt. Isaac Cook's Company of Militia in said Tiverton, in the Regiment of Col. John Cook. Philip Cory was Lieutenant and Philip Manchester Ensign of the Company; I belonged to the same Company and served in it all the War except from the Spring of the year 1777 to the month of March 1778. The British Army came to Newport [near] the first of December 1776, and the Militia of this town and [of] Little Compton were all at first called into the service and stationed on and near the shores in said towns opposite to Rhode Island - they were soon however arranged into two divisions, One division served a month and then was relieved by the other division which served a month, and so they continued to serve alternately from December 1776 till the enemy left Newport the last of October 1779. - from my recollection of the services of the said Isaac, I say he served as often as every other month, and that he was in the actual service in said Militia Company, one month in December 1776 in 1777 while I continued in the Company two months in 1778 after I returned into said Company five months and in 1779 not less than five months - while I was absent from said Militia Company in the State Service in parts of the years 1777 & 1778, I was stationed in said Tiverton and vicinity and I know said Isaac served at that time in the said Company - I saw him so serving when Spencer's expedition was preparing to go on to Rhode Island in 1777 and also at other times - we were together in said Militia Company in Sullivan's expedition on Rhode Island in August 1778 - I am unable to state the particular months that said Taber served, but from the best of my recollection, and that is very good for a man of my age, I believe he served in said Company in actual military service not less than Eighteen months from December 1776 up to December 1779, on tours of a month at a time stationed at the Military encampments near Fogland and other places in said Tiverton in all said services, except the month of Sullivan's expedition on Rhode Island - Pardon Gray was Lieu. Colonel of our said Regiment, and at the time of Sullivan's expedition when on Rhode Island Col. Miller commanded the Regiment - Before the enemy took possession of Rhode Island we of the
Page 14

Militia were more frequently called out in cases of alarm for short periods.- and again after they left we were detached out of our Companies and sent on to Rhode Island and to Newport to serve for a month at a time - I think it was in August or September 1781 said Taber and myself served together one month in a Company commanded by Capt. Peleg Simmons and Col. Church I think we were stationed at Butts hill towards the North end of Rhode Island.

Tiverton always.- said Isaac belonged to Capt Isaac Cook's Company of Militia in the South part of Tiverton and I belonged to Capt. Borden's Company, and we both belonged to Colo. John Cook's Regiment... between December 1776 and October 1779 while the British held Rhode Island, I often saw said Isaac a private soldier in his said company, engaged in actual military service at Fogland Ferry in said Tiverton, and in other places in that vicinity. My company was stationed mostly further North, new Howland's Ferry in said Tiverton, but we were frequently marched to Fogland Ferry as that was thought to be a more exposed place, and it was at such times that I saw said Isaac in the service, I do not know how much said Isaac served, but upon the best recollection I have of his services, and of those times, I believe he served, as we all were obliged to, every other month in each of the years 1777 and 1778 and 1779, and that he served Eighteen months at least in the war of the revolution.

Isaac Cook's Company of Militia in said Tiverton in Colo. John Cook's Regiment, and we continued to serve together in said Company till after the Britons left Rhode Island in November 1779. from old age and the consequent loss of memory I cannot recolect [recollect] his particular services but I do know that he was a soldier in actual service in said Company, and from the best of my recollection I say he served as often as every alternate month from the time the enemy took possession of Rhode-Island till they left; every member of said Company was obliged to serve in like manner during said time - that he served one month in December 1776. this month all the militia were called out - that he served six months in tours of a month at a time in 1777, and at least six months in the same manner in 1778- and in 1779 five months in the same manner, and that he served Eighteen months in all in the war of the Revolution, in said Militia Company at the different military encampments on the shores in Tiverton near Fogland ferry opposite Rhode Island - said Isaac Taber died about five years ago and for some time before his death was very feeble on body, and much impaired in memory and unsound in mind. Peace Taber of this town is his widow and has not been married since his decease.

That she is the widow of Isaac Taber lat [late] of this Town deceased and late a Revolutionary Soldier of the United States... She was not married to said Isaac till after the war and has no personal knowledge of his services, but from his statements in his life time she believes he served in the war of the Revolution as follows.

That he was enrolled in Capt. Isaac Cooks Company of Militia in sd. Tiverton, in the Regiment of Colo. John Cook and entered the service of the United States under said Officers at said Tiverton in December 1776... That he then at that time served one full month, and in the year 1777 he served in tours of a month at t time not in succession, but every other month at least six months- he served in the same manner in 1778 Six months, and in one of these months this year he went on to Rhode-Island in the expedition against the enemy there... in the year 1779 her said husband served in the like monthly tours five months - All this time to wit, from December 1776 up to last of October 1779, the enemy held possession of the Island of Rhode Island, which is separated from sd. Tiverton by a channel in some places not a mile over, and all the aforesaid services of her said husband were performed in said Militia Company at the guard posts and Military encampments in said Tiverton except the month in August 1778 when he went on to Rhode Island in the expedition under Gen. Sullivan.

That after the British left Rhode Island, he served at Newport and other places on Rhode-Island, she has heard him relate, that he was on Rhode-Island at one time under Colo. Baley, when he was taken sick and had to come home,

She believes he served one month at Butts hill on Rhode Island in 1781 under Capt. Simmons and Col. Church.

She has many times heard her said husband relate
Page 20

about his Soldiering in the Revolution, and about his standing guard nights on the shores of Tiverton to prevent the enemy from crossing over, and plundering and foraging, and that often alarms were made that they had landed or were about landing -

All the aforesaid Services making nineteen months she believes were performed as a Private Soldier and for these she claims a pension -

She further declares her said husband the said Isaac Taber died on the eighth day of January Eighteen hundred and thirty four - that he was very infirm of body and through imbecility of mind incapable of business two years before his death and the reason I have not applied before is that I did not know I had a right -

And said Peace Taber further declares that said Isaac Taber was born at sd. Tiverton on the thirteenth day of November Seventeen Hundred and fifty, that she hath a record of his age... that he resided in sd. Tiverton when he was called into the services aforesaid and always resided in sd. Tiverton - 

She believes he never received any written discharge from his said services. she has no documentary evidence of any of said Services- there is no Clergyman living in her neighborhood or vicinity, but she refers to Lewis Hart & Stephen Crandell - Citizens of sd. Tiverton and her neighbours who will testify to her character for truth, and to their belief that said Isaac was a Soldier of the Revolution and also to the accompanying Proofs.

She declares that she was born in Westport in the State of Massachusetts, and there resided until her marriage with said Isaac in the year 1785, when she removed to, and has ever since resided in sd. Tiverton

She hereby, for said Isaac, relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that her name is not on the Pension Roll of the agency of any State
