Count of New London} ss.

On this 29th day of September 1820, personally appeared in open Superior Court, holden at New London in and for the Count of New London aforesaid, before the Honble Asa Chapman, one of the Judges of the Superior Court of Connecticut, being a court of record according to the laws of the State of Connecticut by which it was created, having the power of fine and imprisonment, and keeping a record of it's proceedings, Ichabod Spencer aged seventy three years, resident in Lyme in the County and State aforesaid, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain the provisions made by the acts of Congress of the 18th of March 1818 & the first of May 1820, viz, I, the said Ichabod Spencer was a sergeant in the militia at the commencement of the revolutionary war, & enlisted as a minute man in Capt Joseph Jewett's company in Col Saltonstall's regiment & went to Roxbury. After my return from Roxbury I was called to New London & stationed at Fort Trumbull where I staid the summer of 1776. In the beginning of the year 1777 I received a commission as an ensign in Capt Eliphelt Holme's company in Col Jedediah Huntington's regiment, of the Connecticut line  on the continental establishment, and immediately joined said company and continued to serve therein until the latter part of the year 1781 when I was honorably discharged from said company. That about a year & an half after
Page 9

after, was commissioned an ensign I was appointed by Congress a second Lieutenant, and about a year after that, first Lieutenant of said company. I served as an officer in the army more than four years, & more than five years in the whole, not having preserved my commission to the present time I am unable to give the dates precisely. I was in the battle of Monmouth a second Lieutenant and performed the duties of a standard bearer. I was in an action part of the engagement, two of the guard belonging to the colony were killed. Sixty three bullet holes were made through  the colony I carried and one through my hat. My occupation has been that of a house carpenter. For several years past I have been afflicted with the asthma, dropsy & rheumatism, these have increased to such a degree that for about 5 months past I had been under the care of the Doctors. I received a pension under the law of the 15th March 1818, the certificate of which bore the number 964 and have been so unfortunate as to be deprived of it. When I received my pension I had no property except my tools and a very little furniture. I saved some money out of my pension, and with it, I bought me a cow and a little horse, for which I paid $20, and gave my note for the remainder, which is still unpaid. The very day that my credits learnt that my name was stricken from the pension roll, they came upon me, attached my horse and sold it at the port to pay my debts, my cow, tools and furniture were by law exempted from the levy of executions. My cow and some of my tools I have been compelled to sell to furnish somethin to live upon, I have ever been industrious and labored so long as my health would permit. I am now unable to labor
Page 10

and have no reason to suppose that I shall ever be able to do much again and need either help from Government or the town in which i live. My family consists of my wife Hannah 63 years old, very inform and feeble, my son Oliver lives with us, but is of the age and has no property. If my pension could be again restored to me, or I could be again placed on the pension list I should be able to live comfortably, but without it must remain dependant on charity, and in pursuance of the act of Congress on the first day of May 1820. And I also solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18th day of March 1818, and that I have not since that time, by gift, sale, or in any manner, disposed of my property, or any part thereof with intent thereby so to diminish it, as to bring myself within the provisions of an act of Congress, entitled "an act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States, in the Revolutionary War" passed on the 18th day of March 1818 and that I have not, nor has any person in trust for me, any property or securities, contracts or debts, due to me, nor have I any income, other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed, and by me subscribed.

Dear Sir:

I wrote you some time ago for the Rev army record of Ichabod Spencer and you advised me that the pension bureau was unable to furnish this without some information which I cannot give. His name was Ichabod Spencer, Sr., and I understand that his widow drew a pension from the government. I have also been told that he was one of George Washington's body guards. All other records have been lost. I would be very glad if he could be traced and I could get his record.

Very respectfully,

Dear Sir:--

Will you kindly furnish me what information you can give me regarding Michael Spencer of Litchfield Co., Connecticut, who in 1832 was granted a pension for Revolutionary services. I suppose him to be my great great grand-father and such information as you have on file in your office, giving dates of birth, application, etc., will undoubtedly settle the matter for me.

Will you also please furnish me information in regard to the pension granted to Hannah Spencer, of Lyme, Connecticut under the act of 1840, at which time she was 85 years of age. What I especially wish is full information regarding whose behalf and for whose Revolutionary services this pension was granted, with such information regarding the active Revolutionary participant as you can give me.

I shall regard it as a great favor,

Very respectfully yours,

Albert Judson Fisher
