State of Vermont, County of Windsor SS. On this first day of October, eighteen hundred and thirty nine, personally appeared before the Hon. the Probate Court for the District of Windsor in said county of Windsor, Molly Chubb, a resident of Reading in the country of Windsor and state of Vermont, aged eighty three years old on the twenty ninth day of January now last past, who being duly sworn according to law, doth, on her oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the Act of Congress, passed July 7th, 1838, entitled "An Act granting half pay and pensions to certain Widows." 
That she is the widow of David Chubb, late of Cavendish, in said county of Windsor, deceased, who, as she always understood from her said husband, was a Private in the Army of the Revolution; that from her advanced age, her bodily infirmities, and consequent loss of memory, she cannot give a connected detail of the revolutionary services performed by her said husband, and by him many times related to her; nor can she tell the particular years of his services, or the names of the Officers under whom he served; she recollects however to have heard her said husband say, that when a minor, he resided in Springfield in said Country of Windsor, wth one "Stevens," and that he joined the army before he was twenty one years of age, but she cannot tell whether any part of his services was done after he was twenty one years of age or not; that she shall therefore be compelled to rely upon the records and proofs herewith submitted, for the support of her claim to a pension under the aforesaid Act. She further declares that she was married to the said David Chubb at Ashford, then in the County of Windham, but now in the country of Tolland in the state of Connecticut on the thirteenth day of January, in the year seventeen hundred and eighty five, by the Rev. Mr. Jutson, the congregational minister then settled in said Ashford; that her former name was Molly Peck; that her husband, the aforesaid David Chubb died at Cavendish in the county of Windsor aforesaid on the twenty first day of October, in the year 1813; (eighteen hundred and thirteen); that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the first January, in the year seventeen hundred and ninety four, viz. at the time above stated.

Dear Sir:
Re: David Chubb, W. 23807, BA-J/MLB
I beg to thank you for the information contained in your letter of 15th instant in regard to David Chubb.
I believe however your letter is in error in that it states that David Chubb died at Cavendish, Windsor Country, Connecticut, and that whil living at Cavendish, Connecticut he married in Ashford, Windham (later Tolland) County, Connecticut, Molly Peck. The Atlass I have consulted does not give any city as Cavendish in Windsor County, Connecticut. I believe from information that I have already had, that David Chubb lived and died at Cavendish, Windsor County, Vermont. The information that he married Molly Peck in Ashford, Windham County, Connecticut is especially interesting to me as I desire to establish what I believe to be the fact, that this David Chubb was a son of William Chubb who lived at Ashford, Connecticut and from there enlisted in Sheldon's Light Dragoons February 1, 1780 and also in Captain Isaac Stone's Company on August 23, 1777.
I am advised that a Mrs. Harmony Cornwall applied for a land bounty March 24, 1820 and filled in support of her claim the certificate of the probate Judge that she was one of the children of William Chubb. I desire information as to whether of not this certificate of the Probate Judge also states the names of the other children of William Chubb and also the court and county of which he was the Probate Judge. I believe Mrs. Cornwall was awarded a land bounty May 14, 1820 under BLWT-917.
It will be much appreciated if you can furnish the names of the brothers and sisters of this Mrs. Harmony Chubb Cornwall and the name of the court and county from which the judge's certificate was issued.
Thanking you for any information you may furnish, I am,
Very truly yours,

Benjamin; that I cannot now tell how long I was in the army with said Chubb, but I should think, about six months in all; that his services as a Soldier were all performed in the state of Vermont, and I think he performed some revolutionary services when I was not with him. And I further say, that I was acquainted with Molly Chubb, formerly the wife, but now the widow of the said David Chubb; that I have visited them in said Cavendish and staid with them through the night; and that the said David Chubb is the only man of that name I ever knew or heard of.
