I William Hebard of Chelsea in the County of Orange and State of Vermont, aged forty five, being duly sworn depose and say that I am the son of Diah Hebard who was a Revolutionary Pensioner and who died in Randolph in said County on the nineteenth day of February one thousand eight hundred and forty one, and I farther say that Zerviah Hebard who has this day made her declaration, is my mother, and is the widow of the said Diah Hebard. I further say that the said Zervah Hebard made her declaration for the purpose of obtaining a [unk] before the Probate Court some time in the summer or fall of the year 1843, and that I saw the papers properly and duly authenticated, and that I enclosed the papers in a proper and suitable envelope, directed to the War Department, and that I deposited the [unk] in the Post Office at East Randolph for the purpose of being sent according to their [unk] by mail.
I am the youngest member of the family. I have two brother and one sister now living and one brother and two sister have died since my recollection. The said Diah Hebard and the said Zerviah with their said family removed from Windham in the State of Connecticut to said Randolph in the forepart of the year 1806, where they have ever since lived, until the death of the said Diah Hebard. I have seen no record of the marriage of the said Diah and the said Zerviah, but I have always understood that they were married in the year 1783 at said Windham. My eldest brother is now sixty one years of age, and is the oldest child of the family.

I J. K. Parish of Randolph in the county of Orange & state of Vermont aged fifty three years depose and say that I was formerly well acquainted with Diah Hebard late of Randolph aforesaid deceased that I assisted him in his application for  a pension under the act of 1832 and that he obtained it and drew a small pension until his death in 1841. I do not now recollect if he resided at Con. & was in the Ct. line all of the time he was out but he was a part of the time & I am quite sure my Father Jacob Parish now deceased was a witness to a part of his service and it also appears to me that a man by the name of Bybe L. Cotton was also a witness he is also dead.
I am acquainted with the family of Mr. Diah Hebard, and am positive that Abel Hebard is several years my sengor. I have known him since 1806 or 7, since Diah Hebard came into this town with his family attended same school & several of their children were older than myself. I further say that in the summer or fall of 1843 I made a declaration for Zervah Hebard the widow of the aforesaid Diah Hebard to obtain a pension under the acts of Congress passed prior to that time in relation to widows whose husbands drew under the act of 1832. The declaration of the widow & evidence of marriage, of the death of the sd Diah Hebard &c were made before the Probate Court and I left the papers after they were there prepared at East Randolph according to my best recollection with Hon. Wm Hebard to be placed in the Post Office to be sent to the Department at Washington. And as I have never been able to hear from them I think they must have been lost in the mail. I had heretofore obtained the deposition of the Reg. of Probate D. F. Weymouth to the facts but his deposition was not authorized & the reason I do not now obtain it is he has removed from this town & [unk]. I further state that at the time I made the Declaration & papers for the widow Hebard I know her case was similar to the widows of Stephen Herrick & Sylvester Smith both of whom obtained certificates & Mrs. Herrick still draws. Mrs. Smith is dead.

Sir,
I have recd your letter to the Hon. Jacob Collamer under date of Feby 10th 1845, in which you say "as refers to the claim of Zeriah Hebard widow of Diah Hebard, that the papers were returned to him (meaning the Parish)" since which they have not seen sent back to this office.
I will state that there were papers in the case of Mrs. Zerviah Hebard returnd as they were made under the act of 3d March 1843 by mistake. These were however made afterwards a declaration &c. before the Probate Court for the Dist. of Randolph, under the act of July 1838 and must be now in the Pension Office I think as they were mailed to be forwarded to the Department.
Will the Department make search for the papers in the case of widow Zeriah Hebard and inform if a declaration under it resolution of Congress of the 23d January 1845 will be sufficient for Mrs. Hebard to be placed on the pension list.

Very respectfully yr obt servt

Sir,
Herewith I forward the papers in the case of Mrs. Zeriah Hebard claiming a pension on account of the services of her husband he late Diah Hebard in the War of the Revolution.
These papers as will be recollected have been repeatedly alluded to, having been made & forwarded to the Department in 1843.
If the Department are satisfied there can be no doubt of the services I could wish the widow might be placed upon the roll without further delay especially as I find it difficult to obtain proof of service from the Comptroller at Con. The rolls are very imperfect. I have as the Comr. will recollect tried to obtain record proof of the services of David Smith that his widow might receive a pension. I cannot however yet find rolls to prove his service, though there are yet living some who served with him & none who knew him were doubted.
I will thank the Comr. to  inform me if these cases where the record of service cannot be obtained are absolutely hopeless.

I am Sir respectfully yr obt servt

Randolph Vt. Apl 6, 1847
Sir,
Having applied to the Comptroller of Vt. for evidence of the service
of Diah Hebard deceased in the War of the Rev. and [illegible] his return upon
the application. I find nothing of the service, the older persons living here
well recollect the officers under whom Mr. Hebard served in Vt, & also
the frequent allusions to the organizination of parties to watch the Indians
&c. about the time of the burning of Royalton in 1780. I have delayed sending
the Comptroller Certificate in the hopes of finding more positive
proof and have failed until yesterday when I came across the minutes from which Mr. Diah Hebards Declaration was made
under the act of 1832, and knowing him to have been a very precise
man in his statements and that at that time of a very [aclintive?]
memory and these minutes so completely agreeing as
far as the Compt. statement goes I have no doubt it is the same service. I copy from the minutes
Diah Hebard of Randolph in County of Orange & State of Vermont is 75 yrs old, says that
in 1776 for part of Sept. order came from the Gov. of Con. to have the whole Regt of Militia
to which he belonged turn out to go to N. York & started immediately - Col. Experience Stores
 Maj Thomas Welch - Capt Hezekiah Bissell. The British had driven our
Army from Long Island to York Island. We staid at York Island till the British drove
us off & we retreated [illegible] Morrisener to White plains and there staid till late in Nov
when we were dismissed having been out 3 mo. We staid at home a week or more
and were ordered to Providence under the same officers except the Col. Maj. Welch had
the command and Lt. Tinker took the command of the Co. staid all Feb, when we
were dismissed having been out two months or more
In 1779 in July was drafted to go to New London for two months & hired John Young to
take my place & paid him at my own cost & never rec'd any thing for it John Young is dead 20 years
