State of Pennsylvania Susquehanna County Ss.

Personally appeared Tamar Brush, a resident of the county
aforesaid aged seventy five years, who being first 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 the fourth day of July 1836. The she
is the widow of Jonas Brush late of Bridgewater in
said County, deceased, who was a soldier in the Army of
the revolution and served in several Campaigns under
different Commanders in the troops raised in the State of
Connecticut. That the said Jonas Brush while a young
man, and before his marriage, enlisted in Captain Beardsley
Company in the Spring of 1775 she thinks for it was at the
very beginning of the war, and went as a sergeant in the Expedition
to Canada, and returned in the month of December following.
She recollects that he was said to be sick & that his
father had to go a great distance to help his return; she
remembers, his being absent the next year in the service she
thinks at New York, and remembers generally that he
was in the service every year, more or less, until he was
married in the year 1780. The deponent was married
to the said Jonas Brush on the twenty ninth day of June 1780
at Brookfield in the State of Connecticut by the Reverend Mr.
Brooks a Presbyterian Clergymen then settled in said
Brookfield, as the family record kept by her said
Husband will show as well as their respective ages
at that time. The Deponent further saith that her
said Husband Jonas performed two tours of service
after their intermarriage, one of which was in the Company
Commanded by Captain Olmsted & stationed at Norwalk,
and she thinks in Colo Canfield’s regiment that
time of service was, she thinks three months – which
service both before and after her marriage the deponent
could not easily forget. She also recollects hearing
of his being in several skirmishes with the enemy at Fort
Chambly, at Fort St. John, & at Kingsbridge, in one of which,
he received a slight wound. The aforesaid tour of service
stationed at Norwalk was about two years after his
marriage to the Deponent in the year 1782. in which tour
he acted as Orderly Sergeant. The deponent further
saith, that on the first day of April 1781, he said
Page 5

Jonas Brush had the misfortune of having his dwelling house burnt at New Fairfield in Connecticut in which was destroyed all his papers and most of his furniture among which (as she had often heard him relate) were his certificate of service in the revolutionary war.

The Deponent further saith that after the close of said war, the said Jonas Brush continued to reside with his family in New Fairfield in the State of Connecticut about fifteen years, then removed with his family to Wyoming in Pennsylvania, where he resided about five years, then removed to Winsor in Broome County in the State of New York, where he resided about eight years then removed to Susquehanna County, in Pennsylvania with his family and resided for the last ten years of his life in the township of Bridgewater in the County of Susquehanna in the State of Pennsylvania, where he died on the thirtieth day of January one thousand eight hundred and thirty one, aged seventy six years, leaving the Deponent his Widow, with six children namely three sons and three daughters. The illness of which the said Jonas died was (as termed by the attending Physician) the dropsy. The Deponent further declares & saith that she had remained a widow, unmarried, ever since the death of the said Jonas Brush, and was never the wife of any other man.

Note the interlineation of the words "twenty ninth" on the erasure of the word "nineteenth" in the 20th line first page, also the word "not" interlined in the 33rd line before signing this Deposition.

aged Eighty seven years being duly sworn to the depose and say, that, Jonas Brush ,late of the Town of Bridgewater in the County of Susquehannah (sic) in the State of Pennsylvania, deceased, was the Brother of the  Deponent, that said Jonas Brush was born in said State of Connecticut and resided therein from his birth until many years after the war of the Revolution. The said Jonas Brush was married at Brookfield in said State of Connecticut on the 29th of June 1780 to Tamar Ruggles by the Rev. Mr. Brooks there a Presbyterian Clergyman settled in said Brookfield. This Deponent was present at their marriage. The said Jonas and Tamar, after their said marriage lived together as husband and wife until his death which happened in January 1831 and the said Tamar has not to the knowledge of the Deponent been married since his death.
Relative to the Service of the said Jonas Brush in the Armies of the Revolution the Deponent saith that the father of the said Jonas and this Deponent then lived in New Fairfield in said State of Connecticut and at the commencement of the Revolution said Jonas lived with his Father. In March or April 1775 said the Deponent believes in March, the said Jonas Brush enlisted as a Private in the Company commanded by Captain Nehemiah Beardsley in Colonel Waterbury's Regiment. Afterwards the said Jonas was appointed a
Page 8

Sergeant in said Company. This Deponent did not enlist or serve in said Company; but he was present and saw his said Brother enlist, and [illegible] that soon afterwards he marched from said New Fairfield in the said Company & joined the Regiment at Stanford in said state of Connecticut. Said Company marched as Deponent understood and believed to New York and therein entered in the command of General Montgomery by the way of the Hudson River and Lake Champlain to Canada. The Deponent had not foremer (sic) knowledge of the service of the said Jonas in said Campaign of 1775 but he saw him enlist at aforesaid and march with said Company from New Fairfield. The said Jonas was absent from the time he so marched which was in the month of April or May 1775 until the month of December following when he returned. During his absence the Deponent and his father's family frequently received letters from him and heard from him otherwise at Half Moon, Ile [Isle] Aux Noix, St. Johns and other places at which sd Regiment  served.  And near the close of the Campaign the Deponent's father, at the request of said Jonas went northward a distance of seventy five miles or neare to meet him and bring him home.
That in he year of 1776 and in the month of August the said Jonas served as a Sergeant in the Regiment of Continental militia commanded by Col. Joseph P. Cooke in Captain Phineas Beardsley's Company  a period of two months from some time in said month of August until the month of October.

at Garrison duty in the City of New York and at [illegible]. This Deponent in the said [act?] [account] mentioned tours served with said Jonas and in the same Company.
Again in the month of April 1777 when the British Troops under Gen. Tryon destroyed Danbury, said Jonas served in Danbury, Ridgefield and then in places in Fairfield County under the command of General Wooster. The said Jonas in this Tour served one week or more and was a Volunteer - this Deponent served with him.
In the fall of 1777 the said Regiment of Militia commanded by Col. Cooke was called  into service and ordered to march to Peekskill in the State of New York and there northward as far as Red Hook over the Hudson River. This Deponent and said Jonas served in said Regiment in the Company of Captain Peter Penfield six weeks on this tour- the said Jonas as a Sergeant.
Afterwards but in what year this deponent does not recollect the said Jonas served as a Sergeant two different tours in said Regiment of Militia at Peekskill, at York Town and [illegible] Pond in the State of New York two weeks on each of said tours. The Deponent served with him the greater part of both tours in record and believes these services were performed in the years 1778 and 1779.
In the month of July 1779 when the Towns of Fairfield and Norwalk burned the said Jonas volunteered and served at said Norwalk and Fairfield about two weeks under the command of Captain Peter Penfield of the Connecticut

November 24th, 1836

Sir:

I take the liberty of addressing you, inclosing the Declaration and accompanying documents of the Widow Tamar Brush the wife of Jonas Brush deceased.  She now resides at this place and asked my assistance in forwarding her application.  I have been well acquainted with said Jonas Brush for more than forty years and for the most part of the time a near neighbor to him, his family and widow have resided near me ever since his death.  I have thought it proper to inclose their family record and obituary notice of his death, since it is so difficult to obtain personal testimony of transactions so long since.  The judges of the court in this county have been acquainted with the widow Brush even since the death of said husband and directed the clerk of the court to make the interlineation that appears in the certificate, in my presence.

If there be any informality in the inclosed papers, the application desires that notice be given by letter to me.  Or to Abraham or Phineas Bradley of Washington formerly Assistant P M Genl -- they are well acquainted with the application and with me.

I shall be glad to have notice of the result of her application.

With great respect
Your obedient servant

Sir

I had the honour of receiving your letter of Dec 8 informing me that the papers in support of the claim of Tamar Brush had been examined and filed with suspended cases.  That the proof of her husband, service after her marriage is not satisfactory.  Ezra Mead being the only witness of said alleged service, and it does not appear that he oever applied for a pension.

I trust it will be in the power of the applicant to have the difficulty satisfactorily explained having taken pains to send again to Connecticut for further testimony in corroboration of Ezra Mead's testimony, and his character as to truth and veracity.  It will appear by the inclosed affidavit of Seelye Trowbridge that E Mead had not applied for a pension for two reasons; first, he did not believe that his service of three months only, would bring him within the meaning of the Acts of Congress in regard to Pensions; secondly, that he could not recollect any person now living by whom he could prove that service.    The character and life the widow Brush is such that no person of her acquaintance, could respect her capable of downright perjury, nor could she be mistaken in the fact of his service after the marriage, which she must have remembered.     The testimony of the living witness, E Mead is, that he served in the same company and regiment with Jonas Brush for the term of three months in 1782.  The marriage was in 1780.

I inclose the within Certificate regarding the character of the applicant, trusting it may have some influence in corroberation of the testimony of the living witness E Mead.

State of Pennsylvania Susquehanna County ss

Before me William Thomson one of the Asso-
ciate Judges of the Court of Common pleas in and
for said County personally appeared Seelye
Trowbridge of Great Bend township in said County
who being duly sworn deposeth and saith that
he the deponent in the month of October
last
was employed by the widow Tamar Brush
the late wife of Jonas Bouck of said County
County deceased to go into the State of Connect-
icut for the purpose of obtaining testimony relating
to the military services of the said Jonas
Bruch in the Revolutionary war, and he the
Deponent did accordingly go to several towns
in Connecticut for that purpose and was pre-
sent at the time the Depositions of several persons
were taken on the subject respecting the revolution-
ary services of the said Jonas, the fact and
time of his marriage, his age and so forth, ac-
cording to the best of his judgment & that he
found it very difficult after a lapse of nearly
sixty years to find direct testimony from living
witnesses. The Deponent recollects that in the exam-
ination of the Witness Ezra Mead the witness
said he could well recollect many that
served in the same Regiment and Company with
him in the campaign in 1782 but could not recollect 
one that he knows or believes to be now living to prove
that he the witness himself served in the same company
and Regiment with said Jonas Bush (since the
death of the latter), and observed at the same time that
he doubted whether he the witness by that service of
three months only, in the year 1782, would bring him
within the meaning of the act of Congress.

The deponent further saith that he is well acquainted
with the said Widow Tamar Brush,  & ever since the
death of her said husband that she has resided in the
Deponent's family most of the time since the death of the
said Jonas, and has remained a widow ever since and
further the deponent saith not.

Dear Sir: I was talking with you last year when we were in Washington about the Daughters of the American Revolution. I said I would send you what little data I have, but have neglected it thus far. We will be in Washington the week of December 13 to 18th and I shall hope to see you and your good wife at that time.

My great-grandfather's name was Jonas Brush, his wife was Tammer Ruggles.  They lived at New Milford, Litchfield County, Connecticut.
Jonas Brush with his brothers served in the Revolutionary War.
My Grandmothers name was Rosanna Brush wife of Franklin Avery, and my mothers name was Cornelia Avery wife of Warren Mason Tingley, so you see I come in direct line, providing there are proofs to verify all this enough to satisfy the requirements if the D. A. R. Order. I am not familiar with their requirements but whatever you can do to find proofs, will be very much appreciated by me.

Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. B. H. Howard
