W. 4407

Theophilus Walton
16 Ocean Parkway
Brooklyn, New York.

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Thomas Worden of Connecticut, pension claim, W. 4407.

The data furnished herein regarding Thomas Worden are found in the papers on file in said pension claim, based upon his service in that war.

Thomas Worden enlisted in Stonington, Connecticut, some time in 1780, served as private in Captain Betts' company, Colonel Samuel B. Webb's Connecticut regiment, was in the battle of King's Bridge, and continued in service until November 1, 1783, at which time he was discharged at West Point, New York.

Thomas Worden was allowed pension on his application executed March 25, 1818, at which time he resided in Highgate, Franklin County, Vermont. He was then aged fifty-three years; the date and place of his birth and names of his parents are not shown. In October 1819, the soldier moved to Essex, Essex County, New York. He died May 6, 1841, as shown on an Auditor's report, or May 6, 1842 as stated by his widow, in a place called "Wessex" in the town of Essex, New York.

Thomas Worden married May 10, 1800, in Granville, New York, Jemima Stewart; the names of her parents are not shown.

Jemima Worden, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on
Page 20

her application executed February 9, 1854, at which time she was a resident of Essex, Essex County, New York. Jemima Worden was aged then seventy-seven years, date and place of her birth not shown. She referred to her deceased husband, the soldier, as Thomas T. Worden.

The names of the children of Thomas Worden and his wife, Jemima, are shown as follow:

Polly Worden born January 31, 1802, in Granville.
Susannah "   "  March 5, 1805, in Chesterfield.
Virginia   "   "  February 15, 1807, in Chesterfield.
Hannah   "   "   "   13, 1809.
Betsey   "   "   "   22, 1813.
Stewart   "   "   March 31, 1817.
Henry Gould   "   "   January 18, 1822.

In 1820, the soldier stated that Susan, Hannah, Betsey and Stewart were living with him and his wife, Jemima, but he did not refer to the other children named above.

In 1854, the son, Stewart Worden witnessed his mother's signature when she made her application for pension.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name of person paid, and, possibly, the date of death of Jemima Worden, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following:
