I, Susanna Eastman, of Windsor in the County of Windsor and State of Vermont, aged about Eighty two years, depose and say__ that I lived in Hopkinton in the (now) County of Merrimac[k] in the State of New hampshire, from about the time I was three years of age until the commencement of the Revolutionary War, and resided in the family of my father, Timothy Clement.  I was personally present and witnessed the marriage of my sister, then named Jemima Clement, to Moses Kimball of said Hopkinson. Said Moses and Jemima were married by the Rev___Scales, a settled minister in said Hopkinton.  So long a period has elapsed since said marriage took place, that I cannot state the day, month or year; but I well recollect that my father Timothy Clement was Captain of a company gathered in and about Hopkinton aforesaid, and with that company went to the army and, as he afterwards said, and as was well then understood , served on Long Island. This was near the beginning of the War.  While my father was so absent in service, I was married.  I know that my sister, the above named Jemima was married a few years before my father went to the army as above stated.  Said Moses Kimball went into the army not far from the time my father went. While said Kimball was absent from home, in the army [illegible - crossed out]said Jemima came and lived in my father's family, and then had a young  child.  Whether Jemima had been married two, or three, or four years before the war commenced, I am unable to say:  but I know that when her husband, said Moses Kimball, went into the army, she had been some years married to him, and on his leaving home to go to service, she came home to live with us, and the brought a child, as above stated, and did
Page 7

reside with us, or, in other words, at my Father's house, during the absence of said Moses in service - Many years ago, said Moses Kimball and said Jemima removed from Hopkinton afoursaid to the State of Ohio, and I have never since seen her. I know her place of residence in that State only by her letters, the last of which I received more than a year ago, that is, dated 28 Jany 1837 at Warrentown, which was in the hand writing of some one who seemed to be her amanuensis.

To the Commissioner of Pensions
Sir,
Enclosed you have the papers referring to the claim of Jemima Kimball for a pension under the Act of Congress of the 4th July 1836 as the unmarried widow of Moses Kimball a soldier of the Army of the Revolution one of the New Hampshire Volunteers. I have marked the papers in support of the claim in the following order - 
(A.) The declaration of the widow made at Warrenton Jefferson County, Ohio
(B.) Proof of the marriage of the Claimant to the said Moses Kimball her deceased husband
(C.) Further proof of the marriage and the services of deceased husband.
(D.) Further proof of services - 
(E.) Further proof of services - 
From an examination of these documents it will be found that - claimant was married to Moses Kimball on the 16th October 1771 - the parties then residing in Hopkinton in what is now Merrimack County New Hampshire. He was at Lexington in 1775 as a volunteer and shortly after enlisted in the company commanded by Captain Isaac Baldwin, his Lieutenant being John Hale. Kimball acted as
Page 15

orderly Sergeant during the enlistment under Baldwin and afterwards under Hale. He afterward served as a volunteer in part of the campaign terminating in the surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga. But in what capacity or under what officers does not appear. Since 1801 when they removed from New Hampshire to Ohio they have resided in Jefferson county. The husband died in 1828.
The declaration of the widow appears to have been drawn rather in artificially, but I believe embodies all the necessary facts to justify the granting the pension under the act mentioned.
Your decision may be communicated to me under the cover to A. Wood Esq the pension agent at Wheeling.
With sentiments of respect, I am
