The widow declares that her husband, the said Martin Tubbs, served in the Connecticut Line under Colonel Meigs & Lieutenant Trowbridge for a number of years.

In proof of marriage, the widow furnishes part of an ancient family record, supported by the affidavits of Nathan Young, who was present, and of said Francis Garvy  who although not present knew the time of its occurrence, & who states a number of  facts in support of his statement of the time when said marriage occurred.
