I Bates Turner of St. Albans, in the County of Franklin, + State of Vermont, aged seventy seven years, do depose testify + say, that in February, 1777, I enlisted at Norfolk, Connecticut my then place of residence under Captain James Watson of sd Norfolk.  I was mustered + soon after joined Col Samuel B Webbs, Lieunt Col Livingston + Maja Ebenezer Huntington's Regt at Wethersfield Connt and continued to serve in said Regt three years, and at the expiration of sd time I served as a substitute a few weeks + was then discharged at Morristown in the 5th day of May 1780, and arrived at Norfolk on the 12th of the same month. Col Webb was taken prisoner on his way from Norwalk to Long Island and never afterwards joined the Regt. Col Livingston left the Regt + the command devolved upon Maja Huntington who commanded the Regt to the close of my campaign. I remained at Norfolk until the year 1793, when I removed from thence to Vermont, where I have resided to the present time.
A long time previous to my enlistment I was personally acquainted with Hiland Hall + Hannah Parker, who were both residents of Norfolk + neighbors to my father with whom I lived until the time of my enlistment. I should say that sd Hall was then about 23 or 4 years of age + that the said Hannah was about 20. About the time of my enlistment I learnt from common report that marriage contract was then made between -
Page 30

the said Hiland + Hannah, was not solemnized 
until some time afterwards.
                                               
A few days previous to my enlistment the said Hall enlisted as an orderly Sergeant under Capt Watson, processed  my enlistment, and joined the army at Wethersfield ofs and my belief is that he was put into a company of Grenadiers commanded by Captain Wooster, and served as an orderly Sergeant in the same Regt. with me, and served about one year, then left the Regt + went into the Commissary Department. Captain Watson left the Regt about the same time + went to Hartford Ct.    At the time sd Hall went into the Commissary Department it is my belief that 
he served as Clerk to Jedediah Hyde Commissary and that he remained in the employ of the commissary for a time + was then appointed commissary + that one Benjamin Stevens was clerk to the sd Hall + Thomas Stevens, Brother of the sd Benja was also employed in sd commissary Department as weigher of provisions.  
I was not acquainted with the sd Hyde, but 
since my residence in Vermont, I have become personally acquainted  with him, He being Clerk of the Court in + for the county of Grand Isle Vt where I have practised as an attorney and was in company with sd Hyde more or less for several years previous to his death. I very frequently conversed with said Hyde repeating what transpired during the war
Page 31

of the Revolution .v especially about said Hall, and
the previous knowledge which I had of the services
of P Hall together with the information received
from M Hyde relative to his services as clerk and
commissary {not legible} me in the belief that P
Hall was in the Commissary Department two
years and that he served in all Three years.
  In the fall for the year 1779, said P hall was married to the s Hannah Parker, as I {not legible}
and verify believe. that fact I learn on my return
home from the army. I further remember that it was said that they were united in mar-
riage by one Giles Pettibone a gentleman with
whoin I was well acquainted had known as
a magistrate for more then twenty years.
I should say that P Hall left the army in the
month of March, 1780, and returned to Norfolk.
and soon after my return home which was
in May as aforesaid I revisited him & his wife the
said Hannah Parker, they had then commenced
housekeeping. Soon after the said Hall and
wife removed from Norfolk to Cornwell in
Vermont where the P Hiland & Hannah
lived together several years and had five
children four Daughters and one son.
Previous to my leaving Norfolk for Vermont
said Hall came to Conneticut for his health
being in a decline, and stayed at his fathers,
until his death, and I attended his funeral 
according to the best of my recallection he died
in the year 1792, I well remember it was a
few months
previous to my removal to Permont.
Not long after the the decease of Me Hall I took
I took a journey to Vermont and at that time I visited

the widow of said Hall at her residence in Cornwell 
aP. and soon after I understood that said widow
had married to a M Hulbard. I do not recal-
lect of seeing P Hannah again untill 1811, when
being on a journey with my wife to Saratoga
Springs I visited Mrs Hudbard and spent three days with her & her husband. dining and stay
attended the celebration of Indepenence with them,
and I know that said Hannah Hulbard was the same
person who was previously the widow of the said
Hulbard Hall. Mrs Hudbard was then aged and
very infirm and I have understood that he died
some years since. I have not seen mrs Hulbard since 1814, but understand that she now
resides in {not legible} in this state. And I further
say that the said Hannah has always sustained
a good character being a women of {not legible}
integrity so far as my knowledge extends.

Sir, It appears by a letter I have just received that the application of Hannah Hulburd for a pension, with accompanying proof, was sent to your office  in July last, by the Hon. Almon Warner of [illegible] Vt, and that no intelligence has been received of its having been acted on. I am requested to ascertain whether the papers have been received, and if so, to obtain a decision in this case, as soon as practicable. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, William Slade

Sir, I observe that Hannah Hulburd is represented in this pension certificate which I herewith return, as the widow of Hiland Hull. This is a mistake. The naming of the Revolutionary soldier in virtue of whose services she is entitled to a pension was Hiland Hall. He was the uncle of my colleague of that name. I presume that, on an examination of the papers, the name will be found to be Hall and not Hull. I do not know of how much consequence it may be  -- or whether of any -- to have this mistake corrected, but I [illegible] it at any rate but that it should be. 
Very respectfully Your obedient servant William Slade

Dr. Sir,
Mr Parmely a neighbor of mine wished me to write to you requesting an immediate answer from you whether his wife a child of a deseased pensioner can obtain a pension under the following circumstances.
Hiland Hall father to said Parmely's wife served in the quarter master's department during most of the revolutionary, after the close of the war move to Vermont and then died previous to the passage of the first act of the pension laws. His widow married again and outlived her second husband. After his death she applied for a pension on the services of her first husband and obtained it. She drew three hundred and sixty five dollars a year. She died in the fall of 1845, since no pension has been drawn. 
Please write me immediately on the receipt of this, giving your opinion on the practicability of obtaining a pension under the above circumstances if he meets with encouragement I think he intends to employ you -- 
Mrs. Rop' health is about the same as when our friend Mr Varnasbrand left her. We have been anticipating a visit from you but as yet have been disappointed. Give our respects to Mr Varnasbrand an all the friends. Yours truly  A Rop
