State of Connecticut
County of Middlesex
S.s. Middletown

On this seventeenth day of Sept. 1833, personally appeared in open court before the Court of Probate in and for the District of Middletown in said county, the same being a court of record by the laws of said State and now siting, Jabez Edwards, a resident of said Middletown aged seventy years 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 A.D. 1832.

That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated:

1. That he was born in the town of Coventry in the county of Tolland in said State of Connecticut in the year 1763, as nearly as he can ascertain, having no record of his age, and not knowing that there is any such record in existence. That he believes himself to have been seventy years old on the 8th day of June in the present year; that he resided in said Coventry when he was called into service. That since the Revolutionary War he has resided part of the time in Leyden in the State of Massachusetts, whence he removed to Middlefield
Page 5

near Cherry Valley in the State of New York thence to Amherst, in the State of Massachusetts, and thence to Ellington in said county of Tolland; that he now resides in said Middletown, and has resided there since the first part of January in the present year.

2. That while he resided at said Coventry in the year 1779 in the month of June, a draft was made of one half of the militia in that town; that he was drafted and served three months, five weeks thereof in New London and the remainder of the time in Groton, where, while off duty, he quartered in a house belonging to Col. Ledyard, who afterwards fell in the defence (defense) of Groton Fort; that his Captain's name was William Wilson of Coventry; that he was discharged at Groton.

3. That he then enlisted for the period of nine months under Captain William Lathan or Latham to do garrison duty in Groton Fort. Col. Ledyard being commander of the fort; that he served the full period of nine months, was discharged, and returned to said Coventry.

4. That in the commencement of the year 1781, he enlisted for a year in the company commanded by Captain William Moulton of Windham, Connecticut, and joined the troops stationed at Horse Neck at a place called Palmer's Hill, and after removing several times he went to Stamford, where he assisted in constructing a log fort; that General Waterbury commanded the troops,
Page 6

2.
and that [blank spaces] Dana of Mansfield in said State was the Major . Eber Robertson of Scotland in said State was the Quarter Master, and Bull of Hartford in said State was the Adjutant of the Regiment to which the deponent belonged; that the deponent served the full term of one year, and was discharged on the first day of March in the year 1782. 

That he never received a written discharge from the service, and never served in any higher grade than that of a private; that he was never engaged in any battle; that when he served for a year as aforesaid, he marched from said Coventry to Hartford, thence to New Haven, and thence to Horse Neck; that he remembers a Colonel Buel who was a regular officer and a Colonel Durkee (he thinks that was the name) who died shortly after Arnold burned New London; that he also recollects that while he served three months in New London as aforesaid there were generally three British ships lying off with two brigs and a schooner as tenders; that he has no documentary evidence, and that he knows of no person, whose testimony he can procure, who can testify to his service, except perhaps the above named Eber Robertson who was said, a few years since, to reside at Montpelier in Vermont but if said Robertson is now living, the deponent can not obtain his testimony without much trouble and expense which he is unable to sustain. That the deponent left said Town of Coventry at so early a period of his life, that he has passed from the remembrance of the present inhabitants of that town, but he believes his name must appear on the rolls of the War Department.
Page 7

He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension of annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State.

Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.

{signed} Jabez Edwards

And the said Court do hereby certify that in the opinion of said Court it is to the applicant extremely inconvenient and perhaps impossible to produce in Court two respectable persons, one the named clergyman and the other his immediate neighbor to testify that said applicant is reputed and believed in his present neighborhood to have been a revolutionary soldier and that they concur in that opinion; inasmuch as it is only about six months last past since said applicant commenced residing in said Middletown and the clergyman in the parish where said applicant resides is personally known to said Court to be a young man who has but shortly since began his ministerial labors in said parish the former clergyman in said parish having of late died; and the Court further certifies that in their opinion it would prove fruitless for the applicant to attempt to procure similar testimony in the other towns where he has resided so frequent have been his removals from place to place down to his present period of life though by possibility such testimony may be obtained; and this Court further certifies that said Court
Page 8

believes that said applicant who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration is now seventy years of age; that he is a respectable and credible old man; And said Court do hereby certify 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.

Dated at Middletown the day and year above written.

Stillman K. Wightman, Judge of Probate for the District of Middletown.

I Jabez Edwards of Lebanon in New London County State of Connecticut formerly of Coventry in said State (where I was born)  - Do on oath being first sworn according to law testify & say in explanation & addition, to my former application to the Hon. Secretary of War of the United States for a pension, do declare as aforementioned that I served under Capt. Wm. Willson [illegible...] was Lieut. John Hale, was ensign (the said John Hale was a brother of Nathan Hale who was a Captain in the United States Army & was hung for a spy by the British at New York) that served under said Willson at Groton in Connecticut three months, in the year 1779 & was stationed at said Groton. Wm. Ledward commanded the detachment & Experience Storrs was also a Colonel & commanded the troops at the first time I served at said Groton. The first service was but for three months. My term of service commenced 1st June 1779 as aforesaid & ended 1st Sept 1779. The 2nd term of service was in Sept. 1779 and I think began on the 7th day of March as I was gone home to Coventry but seven days of ten my first time of service expired. When I again volunteered to serve nine months. I then
Page 10

served under Captain Wm. Latham & Ensign Bill. Col. Wm. Ledyard aforesaid commanded the detachment. I was stationed in the  Fort Griswold at said Groton where I stayed nine months & I was discharged in the month of June 1780. [illegible] was to garrison the fort.

My third term of service was in the year 1781. I was drafted. It was the last of  February in said year or 1st of March; which I cannot now remember. I served one year. My captain was William Moulton, a native of Windham in said State of Connecticut. I served one year. Was discharged the 1st of March 1782. I was stationed all the time at Stanford in Fairfield County of State of Connecticut. General Waterbury commanded the troops. Major (Dana?) was also in command. The better part of the time we were stationed at said Stanford. We were ordered to, & did build a log fort, near Byram River in said Stanford where we were stationed. I well recollect that said Wm. Moulton was very severe in his command & severely whipped his sergeants for disobedience of orders & before we
Page 11

(I think about eight days the said Captain Moulton) left the fort, for fear of the [illegible] of the soldiers, [illegible...] discharged. After my said discharge I saw the said Wm. Moulton, at Pittstown in the state of New York. He had removed from said (?) to said Pittstown; & I had conversation with him (?) Moulton: the said Pittstown is situated between Bennington in Vermont & (?) of said New York. The said Moulton afterwards went to the (?) in the ship [ship name illegible] in Connecticut. Since that I have never seen him. He is long since dead. I know of no [illegible...] (where depositions I have taken) that was with me, in any of the tours of duty  - that I performed - my case is truly unfortunate. I was always poor & am so still, & in addition am now old. I have removed (?) various places in this state of Connecticut, & for that reason, have been more unable to collect evidence to support my first application than I should have been. Last, I remained stationary: I have also had a very large family & have been obliged to labor very hard to support them, having no other means & now in my old age have no means of support except small relief from my children. I truly served the length of time I have stated, & think myself as fairly (?)

as many who served a less time than I did, who are in the receipt of a pension.  & further say not.

Dear Sir

The heirs of Jabe or Jabez Edwards request me to write you asking you to ascertain whether said Edwards name is on the Pension Roll. They think they are entitled to a pension as their father was in the United States Service 3 years. They have no papers to show in proof of the fact. I believe the old man died just before the act was passed granting pensions & his widow died just previous to the passage of the act granting pensions to widows. The old man went from Coventry Ct. into the army but where he served his children know not.
