Jonathan How's Affidavit
Page 11

I Jonathan How formerly of Hopkinton N. H. but now a resident
of Enfield New Hampshire do depose and say that Daniel
Stickney and myself are now, and were neighbours, in the
time of the Revolutionary War wherein we were both engaged
at the same time. We enlisted some time in August 1779 for
three months in Captain Sias company of Colonel Daven New
Hampshire Regiment and served accordingly at Portsmouth
N H.
We again enlisted for six months in the month of
June 1780 in Captain Ebenezer Frys company then of
Col Cilleys N. H. Regiment from which we were for a time detached
and joined to Capt Munro’s, Company of Light Infantry of
Col Courtlands Regiment, and served out the full term of
our enlistment in said companies and Regiments.

I further depose and say that the said Daniel Stickney again
enlisted and went into the service in 1781 as I understood at the
time and do now believe for the term of three months in
Captain Meads company of Col Runnels N H Regiment
but we were not during this service together-

Sir
On the 27th day of November 1843, as the widow of
Daniel Stickney a New Hampshire Pensioner of the United States made
a declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of July 7 1838
My papers were soon afterwards forwarded to the Pension Office
by my Agent John Bryant, Esq of Meriden, but my claim as
he informs he has not as yet been allowed. But that a Certificate
was issued me on the 22d day of August 1844. under the
Act of the 3d of March 1843 allowing me a Pension under said
Act to commence from the 17th of November 1843 the day of my husbands
death at the rate of $36.75 per annum; with which annual amount
I am not satisfied, claiming as I do the same yearly amount that was
allowed my husband to wit the sum of $38.86. I therefore have to pay
the issue of a new Certificate at the rate last above named And
also that a Certificate may be issued to me at the same rate for
the five years pension under the Act of July 7 1838 and forwarded to
my Agent John Bryant above named, upon the application made
as aforesaid, and which has so long been pending
