her son Elias commenced house keeping more than Eighteen years ago, he took the old Bible containing the said record which deponent thought and believe was destroyed. since making application for a Pension in June last, deponents daughter-in-law hearing her speak of the old family record which she had sent to Washington taken from Pilgrims progress
and how careless she had been in not preserving a better record. She then informed this deponent of this old Record now attached to this affidavit. she further solemnly declares that her first child Stephen was born in

34 Thou teachest me thy saving health, thy right-hand is my tow'r; Thy love and gentleness also
doth still increase my pow'r.
35 And under me thou makest plain the way I should go: So that my feet shall never slip, nor wander to and fro.
36 And fiercely I pursue and take my foes that me annoy'd: And from the field do not retuen till they be all destroy'd.
37 So I supress and wound my foes, That they can rise no more: For undetneath my feet they fall, I wound them all so sore.
38 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle, and thou wilt throw down mine enemies that do against me stand.
39 Lord, thou hast given me the necks of all my enemies: That so I might destroy all those that up against me rife. (ear,

43 A people strange, to me unknown, and yet they shall me serve: And at the first obey my word, whereas my own will swerve.
44 I shall be irksome to my own, they will not see my light: But wander wide out of the way, and hide them out of sight.
45 But blessed be the living Lord, most worthy of all praise: He is my rock and saving health, praised be he always.
For he it is that gave me pow'r,
evenged for to be:
d with his holy word subdu'd
he people unto me.
And from my foe deliver'd me, and set me over those, That cruel and ungodly were, and up against me rose.
8 And for this cause, O Lord my God, to thee give thanks I shall: And sing out praises to thy Name among Gentiles all.
49 Deliv'rance great thou giv'st the king, and dost reserve in store [illegible]
Mercy for thy Anointed, and his evermore.
PSAL. XIX. T. S.
The heav'ns and firmament on high do wondrously declare
[illegible] glory and omnipotence,
works and what they are.
wondrous works of God appear by [illegible] ry day's success.
3 There is [illegible] where their sound is not heard: In all the earth and coasts thereof their knowledge is conferr'd.
4 In them the Lord made for the sun a place of great renown: Who like a bridegroom ready trimm'd, comes from his chamber down.
5 And as a valiant champion who would to honour rise, With joy doth haste to take in hand some noble enterprize.
6 And all the skie from end to end he compasseth about: Nothing can hide it from his heat, but he will find it out.
7 How perfect is the law of God! His covenant is sure: Converting souls, and making wise the simple and obscure.
8 The Lord's commands are righteous, and rejoice the heart; likewise His precepts are most pure, and do give light unto the eyes.
9 The fear of God is excellent, and ever doth endure: The judgments of the Lord also,, most righteous are and pure.
10 And more to be desired are than much fine [illegible] alway: The honey a [illegible] -comb are not so [illegible]

14 Accept my mouth and heart also, my words and thoughts each one: For my Redeemer and my strength, O Lord, thou art alone.
PSAL. XX. T. S.
In trouble and adversity the Lord God hear thee still: The Majesty of Jacob's God defend thee from all ill.
2 And fend thee from his holy place his help at ev'ry need: And so in Sion stabilish thee and make thee strong indeed.
3 Remembering well the sacrifice that now to him is done: And so receive most graciously they offerings each one.
4 According to thy heart's desire, the Lord grants unto thee: And all thy counsel and thy mind, shall well perform may he.
5 We will rejoyce when thou us sav'st, and banners shall display Unto the Lord, who thy requests fulfilled hath alway.
6 The Lord will his Anointed save, I know well by his grace: And send him help by his right'hand, out of his holy place.
that keepeth promise just.
8 They all fall down, but we do rise, and stand up stedfastly: O save and help us, Lord and King, when we to thee do cry.
PSAL. XXI, T. S.
O Lord, how joyful is the king, in thy strength and thy pow'r: Exceedingly he doth rejoyce in thee his Saviour,
2 For thou hast given unto him his godly heart's desire: To whom thou nothing hast deny'd of that he did require.
3 Thou didst prevent him with thy gifts and blessings manifold: And thou hast set upon his head a crown of prefect gold.
4 And when he asked life of thee, thereof thou mad'st him sure: To have long life, yea, such a life as eve shall endure.
5 Great is his Glory by thy help, thy benefit and aid: Great worship and great honour both thou hast upon him laid.
6 Thou wilt give him felicity that never shall decay, And with thy chearful countenance will comfort him alway.
7 Because the king doth strongly trust in God for to prevail, Therefore his goodness and his grace to save him will not fall.
8 Thy enemies shall feel the force, and those that thee withstand: Find out thy foes, and let them feel the pow'r of thy right hand.
9 And like an oven burn them, O Lord in fiery flame and fume: Thy anger shall destroy them all: and fire shall them consume.
10 And thou shalt root out of the earth their fruit that should increase: And from the number of thy folk their seed shall end and cease.
11 For they much mischief did contrive against thy holy Name: Yet did they fall, and had no pow'r for to perform the same.
12 But as a mark thou shalt the set in a most open place: And charge thy bow-strings readily against their very face.
13 Be thou exalted, Lord, in thy own strength which is our tow'r: So shall we sing right solemnly, praising thy might and pow'r.
PSAL. XXII. T. S.
O God, my God, wherefore dost thou forsake me utterly? And helpest not when I do make my great complaint and cry?
2 To thee, my God, e'en all day long, I do both cry and call: I cease not all the night, and yet thou hearest not at all.

they were preserved ever when they called on thy Name:
And for the faith they had in thee, they were not put to shame.
6 But I am now become more like a worm than to a man:
An out-cast, whom the people scorn with all the spite they can.
7 All men despise as they behold me walking on the way;
They grin, make mouths, and nod their heads, and on this wife do lay:
8 This man did glory in the Lord, his favour and his love:
Let him redeem and help him now, his pow'r if he will prove.
9 But from the prison of the womb I was by thee releast:
Thou didst preserve me still in hope, whilst I did suck the breast.
10 I was committed from my birth with thee to have abode:
Since I came from my mother's womb thou hast been still my God.

The Second Part.
11 Then, Lord, depart not now from me in this my present grief,
Since I have none to be my help, my succour and relief.
12 For many bulls do compass me that be full strong of head:
Yea, bulls so fat, as tho' they had in Basan field been fed.
13 They gape upon me greedily, as tho' they would me flay:
Much like a lion roaring out, and ramping for his prey.
14 But I drop down like water shed, my joints in sunder break:
My heart doth in my body melt like wax. I am so weak.
15 My strength doth like a potsherd dry, my tongue it cleaveth fast
Unto my laws that I am brought to dust of death at last.
16 For many dogs do compass me, in council they do meet:
Conspiring still against my life, piercing my hands and feet.
17 I was tormented, so that I might all my bones have told:
Whilst they do look and stare at me when they do me behold.
18 my garments they divided have in parts among them all.
And for my coat they did cast lots, to whom it should befall.
19 Therefore, I pray thee, be not far from me at my great need:
But rather, since thou art my strength, to help me, Lord, make speed.
20 And from the sword save thou my soul by thy might and thy pow'r:
And ever keep my darling dear, from dogs that would devour.
21 And from the lion's mouth, that would me all in sunder tear:
From midst the horns of unicorns,
O Lord, thou didst me hear.
22 Then shall I to my brethren all thy Majesty record:
[cut off]ob, him adore:
And all ye seed of Israel, fear him for evermore.
24 For he desplieth not the poor, he hideth not away
His countenance when they do call, but hears them when they pray.
25 Among the folk that fear the Lord,  I will therefore proclaim
Thy praise, and keep my promise made  for setting forth thy Name.
26 The poor shall eat and be sufficed,  such as their minds do give
To seek the Lord, shall praise his Name,  then hearts shall ever live.
27 The coasts of all the earth shall praise; 
the Lord, and seek his grace:
The heathen folk shall worship all before his blessed face.
28 The kingdoms of the heathen folk, the Lord shall have therefore:
And he shall be their Governor and King for evermore.
29 The rich men of his goodly gifts shall feed and taste also:
And in his presence worship him and bow their knees full low.
30 And all that do go down to dust, of life by him shall taste:
A seed shall serve and worship him till time away shall waste.
31 They shall declare and plainly shew his truth and righteousness
Unto a people yet unborn, who shal his Name confess.

PSAL XXIII. W. W.
THE Lord is only my support, and on that doth me feed:
How can I then lack any thing whereof I stand in need?
2 In pastures green he feedeth me, where I do safely lie:
And after leads me to the streams  which run most pleasantly.
3 And when I find my self near lost, then doth he me home take.
4 And tho' I were e'en at death's door, yet would I fear no ill.
For both thy rod and shepherd's crook afford me comfort still.
5 Thou hast my table richly deckt in presence of my foe.
Thou hast my head with balm refresht
my cup doth overflow.
6 And finally while breath doth last, thy grace shall me defend:
And in the house of God will I my life for ever spend.

Another of the same by TS.
My Shepherd is the living Lord, nothing therefore I need:
In pastures fair, near pleasant streams he setteth me to feed.
2 He shall convert and glad my soul, and bring my mind in frame,
To walk in paths of righteousness, for his most holy name.
3 Yea, tho' I walk in vale of death,
yet will I fear no ill:
[cut off]
Thou wilt filleth my cup and thou  anointed hast my head,
5 Thro' all my life thy favour is so frankly shew'd to me,
That in thy house for evermore my dwelling-place shall be.

PSAL.  XXIV.  J.H.
THE earth is all the Lord's with all her store and furniture:
Yea, his is all the world, and all that therein doth endure.
2 For he hath faitly founded it above the seas to stand:
And plac'd below the liquid floods to flow beneath the land.
3  Who is the man, O Lord, that shall ascend unto thy hill?
Or pass into thy holy place, there to continue still?
4  Even he whole hands and heart are pure
which nothing doth defile:
His soul not set on vanity, and hath not sworn to guile. 
5  Him that is such a one, the Lord  most highly will regard:
And from his God and Saviour shall receive a just reward.
6  This is the generation of them that do seek his grace:
E'en them that with an upright heart,
O Jacob seek thy face.
7 Ye gates and everlasting [illegible]
lift up your heart [illegible]
Then shall the King of glorious state 
come in Triumphantly.
8 Who is the King of glorious state: the great and mighty Lord:
The mighty Lord, in battle strong, and trial of the sword.
9 Ye gates and everlasting doors, lift up your heads on high.
Then shall the King of glorious state come in triumphantly
10 Who is the King of glorious state? the Lord of hosts it is:
The kingdom and the royalty of glorious state is his.

PSAL. XXV.  T.S.
I Lift my heart to thee, my God and guide most just,
Now suffer me to take no shame,
for in thee do I trust.
2 Let not my foes rejoyce nor make a scorn of me:
And let them not be overthrown that put their trust in thee
3 But shame shall them befall who harm them wrongfully
Therefore thy paths and thy right ways unto me, Lord, descry.
4 Direct me in thy truth, and teach me, I thee pray
Thou art  Saviour and my God [illegible] thee I wait alway.
5 Thy mercies manifold remember, Lord, I pray:
In pity thou art plentiful,  and so hast been alway.
6 Remember not the faults and frailty of my youth:
Call not to mind how ignorant I have been of the truth.

State of New Jersey, Mercer County}  Ss.
    On this nineteenth day of June A.D. One thousand eight hundred and forty three personally appeared in open court before the judges of the Inferior court of Common Pleas now sitting in Nottingham in and for the said County of Mercer, Sarah Tice of the Township of East Windsor in the County and State aforesaid in the seventy third year of her age, a person of credibility and truth, 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 Acts of Congress passed July 7, 1838 and the 23d August 1812, granting pensions to widows of persons who served during the Revolutionary war. -- That she is the widow of Elias Tice who resided in the county of Monmouth during the Revolutionary war, and was a private soldier in the militia of New Jersey in the services of the United States during said war. Declarant cannot specify the tours of duty performed by her said husband -- that she has often heard him declare and speak of his being in the Service under a number of Officers at different places -- under Capt. John Walton, Capt Kenneth Hankinson, Capt. Polhemus, Capt. John Schenck, Capt. Covenhoven, Capt. Vancleaf, and Capt. Dennis and Capt. David Imlay -- Col. Hendrickson, Col. Holmes, Gen. David Furman (called Black David) &c. - That he was stationed at Freehold, Tom's River, Red Bank, Long Branch, Shrewsbury, Colts Neck, Middletown + other places along shore. He often stated that the militia had little or no rest, for
Page 20

when they were not engaged against the British, they have the tories, Refugees and wood robbers to fight and watch and who caused much more damage than the English.
   Declarant's husband often spoke of his being entitled to a full pension, but had declared he never would make the application, a promise he adhered to until his death.  Declarant also heard many pensioners of Monmouth County urge him to get a pension, such as Lewis Compton, Abraham Mahall, William Parent, Zebulon Clayton and others, who served with him, some of whom are deceased as declarant understands, having only procured the proof of Lewis Compton ad Abraham Malatt some months ago.  She also declares that she was married to the said Elias Tice on the third day of January One Thousand Seven hundred and ninety three by the Revd. John Woodhull of Freehold, who has left no record of marriages as declarant has been informed by his son Dr. John Woodhull, nor does deponent know of any one living who was present at said marriage.  Declarant produced the record of the birth of her said children, written by her own hand, in a book called Pilgrims Progress having no record or certificate of her said marriage.  Said record has always been in her possession and was written upwards of twenty eight years ago, and is a true and perfect record of the births of the children of said declarant and her husband, the said Elias Tice.  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 + ninety four, viz at the time above noted. She further declares that her husband the aforesaid Elias

GUIDE me, O thou great Jehovah,

In thou still my strength and shield.

Col Holmes and others: that he has often heard his father say that he could get a pension, but that he would not have it and when applicants for pensions came to procure his testimony, deponent often urged him to apply -- He said he could live without it, and never would apply.

While dept was in Capt John Burrows company stationed in Freehold (Continental Co), in the year 1777, said Elias Tice was then a private in Capt Elisha Waltons Company stationed at the same place.  dept. was in the habit of seeing him frequently when not out on Scouts after which he did not again see him untill dept. left the Three years service - remembers serving a month in the spring of 1781 at Coltsneck with said Tice under Capt Polhemus also three or four monthly tours at Freehold under Captains Van Cleaf and Schenck ,after that same said Elias Tice under Capt David Imlay at Shrewsberry and Tinton Falls" also at Red Bank one month, dept. served in the same Battation with said Tice three or four monthly Tours after Capt. Huddy was hung, one or two of which were under Capt.

as much militia duty as Monmouth, nor can any one pretend accurately to describe all the service performed in said County during said Revolution.  Dept often desired said Elias Tice to apply for a pension, but he declared he would not &  he never did. he was a bold and daring man. The Tories and Refugees dreaded him -
more than a file of Common Militia men. he died in the Fall of 1841 - within one mile of Deponent.  he was confined to his bed for two or three years before his death.  his widow is about to apply for a pension I further saith not.
