Declaration of Priscilla Marcy
In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress, of the 7th July
1838, entitled "An Act granting half-pay and pensions to certain
widows".-
State of Vermont
County of Windsor Ss.
On this twenty first day of August in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty eight, personally appeared
before the Probate Court for the District of Windsor, in the County of
Windsor and State of Vermont, Priscilla Marcy, a resident of Windsor
in the County of Windsor aforesaid, aged Seventy four years, who, being 
first duly sworn according to law, doth, on her oath, make the
following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made
by the Act of Congress, passed July 7th 1838 entitled "An act
granting half pay and pensions to certain widows" :
That she is the widow of Samuel Marcy, late of said Windsor
who was a soldier in the army of the Revolution. The applicant is not
able to state the services performed by said Samuel Marcy; but she
well recollects that he represented, among other things not remembered,
that he first went to Winter Hill near Boston, and afterwards to
Ticonderoga N. York, then familiarly called "The Ti". She further
declares that five or six years ago, said Samuel received a pension
certificate for his revolutionary services, entitling him to receive thirty-three
Page 11

dollars and thirty three cents per annum, which he received during his life
in half-yearly payments. The applicant, last spring, obtained the sum of
pension accrued from the 4th Sept. 1837 to the date of said Samuel's decease,
and then surrendered said certificate to the paying agent. She refers to the
said Samuel's declaration and the proofs given in support of it, supposed
by her to be on file in the Pension Department, for a specification of his
services &c.-
She further declares that, at Brookfield in the State of Massachusetts
in that part of said town for it then was called the West Parish, on the
ninth day of September one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven, she,
then named Priscilla Dorr, was married to the said Samuel Marcy, by
the Rev. Ephraim Ward, Minister of the Gospel-- that her husband
the aforesaid Samuel Marcy, died, at said Windsor, on the eighteenth day 
of February one thousand eight hundred and thirty eight: that she was
not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage
took place previous to the first of January seventeen hundred and ninety
four, viz, at the time above stated.

I, Hart Smith of Windsor in the County of Windsor and State of
Vermont, aged nearly seventy one years depose and say that I have lived in
said town of Windsor from my birth to the present time. I familiarly know
Samuel Marcy of said Windsor, from the time he was twenty one years of age
until his decease which was in February last. For a few years previous to
his death, he was in the receipt of a pension for his services in the Revolutionary War. According to my best recollection as to the time, said Samuel Marcy,
"forty-six years ago last June" brought with him, to Windsor, a woman
who appeared, and was by him recognized, as his wife. It was understood
that they came from Brookfield Mass., and that her maiden name was
Priscilla Dorr. Said Marcy and wife went into Hartland, a town north of
and adjoining said Windsor, and resided in said Hartland a year or thereabouts.
They then came to Windsor again and there lived about a year in a part of
my brothers house. Mr. Marcy said Samuel then built a small house
within thirty five rods of my residence; and from that time said Samuel and
Priscilla lived as husband and wife, until his death, in the house so built
by him, and said Priscilla still lives upon the same premises. She has not
again married -
I further say that on Tuesday the twenty first day of August instant,
I was present, when said Priscilla Marcy made her declaration before the Probate
Court for the District of Windsor, of which court Thomas F. Hammond is
Judge, I was present - heard said declaration read - and saw a Priscilla
subscribe it -

Madam-
In reply to your communication of a recent date, you are informed that this Bureau is unable to
furnish a history of the service of any soldier of the Revolutionary war or of the war of 1812 unless he
or his widow was a pensioner or an applicant for pension or bounty land; and that under the rules such
a history is furnished only to the soldier's descendants, and to them only when it is desired for historical
or genealogical purposes.
The large number of inquiries made on this subject, and the length of time required to make a
proper search of the records in each case, will not permit of information being given to any applicant
concerning more than two soldiers.
In order that the soldier concerning whom you desire information may be identified, you are
requested to furnish as much as possible of the data called for below.
