State of New York 
Genesee County }  ss:   On this fifteenth day of October in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and thirty two, personally appeared before the Court of Common Pleas of the County of Genesee now setting holden before Isaac Wilson, William Mitchel, Robert Earll Jr and Simeon Cumings Judges of the same Court,  Lyman Noble, a resident of the Town of Warsaw in the County of  Genesee in the State of New York, aged Seventy four years in March last, who being first duly sworn according to Law doth  on his Oath make the following Declaration, in order to obtain  the benefit of the Act of Congress, passed June 7th 1832.  
That he entered the service of the United States, under the following named officers and served as herein stated - That on or about the first day of March 1776, he entered as a volunteer for the term of one month at New Milford, Litchfield County Connecticut, in which place he was born and where he then lived under Captain Starr, and marched with the Company raised by said Starr to Brooklyn, on Long Island, when he joined the Regiment. He does not recollect the name of the Colonel who commanded the Regiment. He was employed principally during the term in assisting in the construction of a small fort at that place/   He returned home about the first of April having served his term, but receiving no formal discharge.    That in the latter part of the month of August in the same year he entered the service as a volunteer, or as he understood it at the time he enlisted for the term of five months under Captain Bottsford of Newton in the County of Fairfield in the State of Connecticut.   That he marched thence to Fort Ann in the State of New York where he remained with the Company about two weeks that they then proceeded to Skeenesborough (now Whitehall) where they remained a few days and he then marched with the company to Ticonderoga and thence proceeded to Mount Independence where he was employed with others in building a Fort or Breast work, the object of which was to prevent the British from Landing.  That afterwards, with the approbation of his officers he entered the service on the Lake as a Marine together with six or seven others of the same Company, on board
Page 5

one of the American Row Galleys, under General Arnold.   The Galley in which he was placed was under the immediate command of General Waterbury who was on board. That in a few weeks after he entered the latter service, there was an engagement between the American and British forces on the Lake in Cumberland Bay, near the present Village of Plattsburgh.  That after having been engaged one day the American Galley being badly injured, attempted to pass the British forces in the night, and proceeded Southerly and five of them entered the mouth of Otter Creek and after the men had landed, the Galleys were blown up to prevent their falling into the hands of the Enemy.   But the Galley in which he was stationed was too badly injured in the engagement to succeed in reaching the mouth of the Creek before it was overtaken and captured by the British and General Waterbury and all on board were taken prisoners.   On the second or third day thereafter, he together with the other prisoners was discharged or set at liberty on parole and according to the best information he could obtain he was not exchanged until about two years thereafter.   
And he further declares that he again entered the service according to his best recollection in the month of November 1778, being called upon with the company of Militia to which he belonged under the command of Captain Hine of New Milford, and the Regiment to which he belonged was commanded by Colonel Hinman one mnth and then by Colonel Canfield.  That he marched with said company to Stratford in the State of Connecticut where they remained about one month, that being the term for which they were called into the service.   A call was then made for volunteers to go to Norwalk, and he together with a part of the Company to which he belonged volunteered, and marched to Norwalk. He acted in said company as orderly Sergeant but all the commissioned officers of his company returned home.  That soon after he and the other volunteers had arrived at Norwalk, there being a great scarcity of provisions for the subsistence of the soldiers, he was directed
Page 6

by the Commissary to return to New Milford to see Colonel Canfield in relation to the procuring necessary provisions for the Militia then in the service.   That he left Norwalk for that purpose on the first day of January 1779 and proceeded about half the distance the same day but on the following morning he was unable to proceed any considerable distance by reason of a severe Snow Storm which had commenced the previous day and which continued till the roads were impassable, the fences were all buried in Snow and with his utmost diligence he was five days in reaching New Milford, and there being no means of procuring and forwarding provisions, the residue of the Militia who had gone to Norwalk were allowed to return home.  
And he further declares that he again entered the service about the first of April 1782 as a Substitute for a man named Acorn in Dutchess County New York who belonged to Class of the Militia of that County called into the service for the term of nine months.   That he was first mustered at Fishkill where the Regiment were assembled under Colonel Weisenfeldt [Weissenfels] and marched thence to West Point, where he was placed under the command of Captain Moody of the Artillery in Colonel Lambs Regiment. That the Regiment was stationed at West Point through the season, where he performed such service as was required of him. That much of his time was employed in assisting in the erection of Barracks for the accommodation of the Military force stationed there.   That about five or six days before the expiration of his term of service he received an injury from the fall of a Board in a severe hurricane which produced a temporary disability to serve and he about the same time received a regular discharge in writing from the service, but he has lost his discharge.   He thinks he was discharged about the last of December 1782.    He has no documentary evidence of his service and he knows of no person whose testimony he can procure, who can testify to his service. He continued to reside in Connecticut about two years after the Peace
Page 7

since which he has resided in Cattskill about ten or eleven years and in the State of Vermont, about four or five years after he left Vermont he lived in New Milford about two years and in Greene in the County of Chenango in the State of New York about ten years, since which he has resided in Genesee County, New York, principally in the Town of Warsaw. He has no record of his age but believes from the best information in his power, that he was born on the fifth day of March 1758 and he recollects that he was of about the age of Eighteen years when he first entered the service in 1776.   He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present  and declares that his name is not on the pension Roll of the Agency of any State.   He is acquainted with Revd Jabez Boomer of Warsaw, and with Caleb Hatch of the same place who can certify to his character for truth and veracity and their belief of his service.   He remembers that General Washington was at West considerable time during his service there.   And he frequently saw General Knox at the same place in 1782.

This form is to be varied so as to apply to the cases of officers and persons who belonged to the militia, volunteers, navy, &c.]            
He hereby relinquishes every claim (f) whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any Agency in any State, or (if any) only that of Agency in the State of    
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid. A. B. 
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]            
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion (g) that the above named applicant was a revolutionary soldier, and served as he states. 
I of the Court of hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of for a pension.               
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this day of & c.            
If, on examination of the proper record the names of applicants, making such declaration, cannot be found, they will produce such proof as the rule given in note (j) points out.          
Every applicant who claims a pension by virtue of service in the State Troops, Volunteers or Militia, except those who belonged to the New Hampshire Militia and State Troops of Virginia, will make and subscribe a declaration similar to the foregoing, with the following additions, viz: (k) We, A. B., a Clergyman, residing in the hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be and C.D. residing in (the same) who has years of age; that he is reputed and believed, in the neighborhood where he resides, to have been a soldier of the Revolution, and that we concur in that opinion.                 
Sworn and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.                 
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]     
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, that the above named applicant was a Revolutionary Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A. B. who has signed the preceding certificate is a clergyman, resident in the and that C.D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the and is a credible person, and that their statement is entitled to credit.               
I, Clerk of the Court of contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the application of for a pension. do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the application of for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office, this day of & c.         
Every applicant will produce the best proof in his power. This is the original discharge or commission ; but if neither of these can be obtained, the party will so state under oath, and will then procure, if possible, the testimony of at least one credible witness, stating in detail his personal knowledge of the services of the applicant, and such circumstances connected therewith, as may have a tendency to throw light upon the transaction.            
If such surviving witness cannot be found, the applicant will so state in his declaration (l) and he will also, whether he produce such evidence or not, proceed to relate all the material facts, which can be useful in the investigation of his claim, and in the comparison of his narrative with the events of the period of his  alleged service, as they are known at the Department. A very full account of the services of each person
Page 16

3
will be indispensable to a favorable action upon his case. The facts stated will afford one of the principal means of corroborating the declaration of the applicant, if true, or of detecting the imposition, if one be attempted ; and unless, therefore, these are amply and clearly set forth, no favorable decision can be expected. All applicants will appear before some Court of Record in the County, in which they reside, and there subscribe and be sworn to, one of the declarations above provided, according to the nature of his case.            
The Court will propound the following (m) interrogatories to all applicants for a pension, on account of service in the Militia, State troops, or Volunteers, except the Militia of New Hampshire and the State troops of Virginia.    
1. Where and in what year were you born?                
2. Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?          
3. Where were you living when called into service; where have you lived since the Revolutionary war , and where do you now live?               
4. How were you called into service; were you drafted, did you volunteer, or were you a substitute? And if a substitute, for whom?              
5. State the names of some of the Regular Officers, who were with the troops, where you served; such Continental and Militia Regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your services.           
6. To a Soldier. { Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it given and what has become of it? 
To an Officer. {Did you ever receive a commission, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what Town officer has become of it?              
7. State the names of persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood, and who can testify as to your character for veracity, and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution.                 
The Court will see that he answers to these questions are embodied in the declaration, and they are requested to annex their opinions of the truth of the statement of the applicant.         
The applicant will further produce in Court, if the same can be done, in the opinion of the Court, without too much expense and inconvenience to him, two respectable persons -one of whom should be the nearest clergyman, if one lives in the immediate vicinity of such applicant, who can testify, from their acquaintance with him, that they believe he is of the age he represents, and that he is reputed and believed in the neighborhood to have been a Revolutionary soldier, and that they concur in that opinion. one of these persons is a Clergyman, the Court will so certify, and they will also certify, to the character and standing of other persons, giving such certificates. 
The traditionary evidence of service is deemed very important, in the absence of any direct proof, except the declaration of the party. And the Courts are requested to be very particular in the enquiry whether the belief is general, and whether any doubts have ever existed upon the subject     
Applicants unable to appear in Court by reason of bodily infirmity, may make the declaration before required, and submit to the examination, before a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record of the proper county, and the Judge or Justice will execute the duties, which the Court is herein requested to perform, and will also certify that the applicant cannot, from bodily infirmity, attend the Court.        
Whenever any official act is required to be done by a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or by a Justice of the peace, the certificate of the Secretary of State or Territory, or of the proper Clerk of the Court or County, under his seal of office, will be annexed, stating that such person Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or a Justice of the Peace, and that the signature annexed his genuine signature.          
No payments can be made on account of the services of any person, who may have died before the taking effect of the act of June 7, 1832; and in case of death subsequent thereto, and before declaration herein required is made, the parties interested will transmit such evidence as they can cure, taken and authenticated before a Court of Record, showing the services of the deceased, the person of his death, the opinion of the neighborhood respecting such services, the title of the claimant, and the opinion of the Court upon the whole matter.        
[a] The declarant must appear in open Court, unless prevented from doing so by reason of bodily infirmity; in which case the declarant will follow the rule laid down for his guidance.    
[b]   The declarant must make his declaration in the county where he resides. If he should fail to do so, he must assign a sufficient reason for not conforming to the rule.     
[c] The age of the claimant must invariably be mentioned.    
[d]  The declarant must mention the period or periods of the war when he served. 
[e]  Every continental officer or soldier must give the name of the Colonel under whom he served; otherwise a satisfactory examination of the claim cannot be had.        
Every claimant must state, with precision, the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the Department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: 
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service; but, according to the best of his recollection, he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades:--For---year - months , and days , I served as a - months and --- days, I served as and for such service I claim a pension."   
It is important, in all cases, to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months, is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state that they served two in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours, the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must, in every case, be clearly shown under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority ; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.    
[f]  The law makes the relinquishment indispensable. 
[g]  The opinion of the Court is always required.  
[h]  The Clerk must give his certificate in every case. 
[i]  The Clerk must affix his seal, and if it has no device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal, or if he has no public seal of office, the certificate of a Member of Congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.               
Mode of authenticating papers.              
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other papers authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.         
Proof of Service.         
[j]  In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimant's entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office. 
The notes from [a] to [i] are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops, The proof required by rule in note [j]  applies to continental troops only.     
[k]  This traditionary evidence is indispensable in militia cases. 
[l] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact. 
[m] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

J.L. Edwards Esqr 
On the 9th of June last I enclosed to you a declaration of Elizabeth Whiting formerly widow of Lyman Noble under the act of July 7th 1838 and its supplements, and proof of her marriage & of the death of her husband.   
The credibility of the witnesses who testified in relation to the marriage of Mr & Mrs Noble were not certified by the Justice.  I have since procured a supplementary affidavit of Olive Hays and a certificate of the Justice as to the credibility of the former witnesses, which I now enclose.   
I omitted to state in my former letter, Enclosing the declaration & proofs that the Clergyman who preached Mr. Nobles funeral sermon & the person who made his coffin had removed & we do not know their residences. The sexton who dug his grave is dead.   
I trust the proof in the case will be deemed sufficient to establish the claim, I would request that the enclosed affidavit might be examined  in connexion with those previously sent. 
Respectfully Yours

That in the year 1840 the said Lyman Noble had an account with the firm of Darling & Patterson of which deponent was a Partner & member that he has examined the books of said firm now in his possession for Evidence of the date of the death of the said Lyman Noble and finds that on the 7th day of September 1840 the said Lyman Noble was charged upon the day book of said firm with ½ lb. Tea.  On the 17th day of October 1840 he finds an entry to have been made upon the same day book as follows 
"Lyman Noble Estate 
To 1 Silk Hdkf,  
2 prs shoes small,  
1 lb Tea,  
3 yds Calico,  
1 Vial Paregorick [paragoric]"

That he also finds upon the said day book charged to J B Noble who was son of said Lyman Noble 54 yards of Sarsinet Cambrick on article used for Shrouds & a suitable quantity for that use.   The entry of said charge on said day book is under date of the 13th day of October 1840 and is the 5th charge made under that date & probably made early on that day

B. Noble for said Cambrick was for the grave clothes of the said Lyman, That the said Lyman Noble left a widow who subsequently married William Whiting lately deceased.
