I Edach Anderson of Unity in the County of Sullivan and State of New Hampshire, aged upwards of 46 years, depose
and say that I am the sixth child of Amos and Mary Ingalls late of Acworth in said County deceased, that my father the said Amos Ingalls, as I have always
understood, was the youngest son of Deacon Josiah and
Mrs Eunice Ingalls of Rindge in this State, and that he had six brothers older than himself by the names of Ebenezer Ingalls, Josiah Ingalls, Simeon Ingalls, Nathaniel  Ingalls, Jonathan Ingalls and Caleb Ingalls, all from their youth to manhood and during the time
of the war of the revolution, residents of said town of King, and that several of them, including my father the said Amos Ingalls, were actors in the country
service from said Ringe.
My father, as my belief is, from what I have heard him say, was first engaged in service when in the nineteenth
year of his age under a Captain Brown in Colonel Hales Regiment of New Hampshire Militia in the
spring or summer of the year 1777 and again the same year under a Captain Stone of the same Colonel
Hales Regiment, and that he subsequently performed
another tour under a Captain Barron of Colonel Nichols Regiment in 1780-
my further belief from what I recollect to have heard my father and others say is, that my uncles Ebenezer, Caleb
and Jonathan Ingalls were engaged in service at the
Page 17

same time with him and under the same officers
My further belief is, that my Grand father, the saidDeacon Josiah Ingalls, was a native of Andover in
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, where he resided at the time of his marriage and where his seven children
, who were all sons, were born, and from which place he removed to Kings in the State of New Hampshire there not far from the year 1760, my father at
the time being quite a child-- that my father the said Amos Ingalls was brought up, and continued to live in said town of Ringe till after the close of
the revolutionary war, and that from thence he removed to Saworth aforesaid where he married and raised up a family and continued to reside until
his death which took place on the nineteenth day of July 1842 when in the eighty fourth year of his age-
I further depose and say that I have in my possession the family Bible which was my late father's from which I have this day removed and hereunto attached on Page third, the family record of marriage and births made by him and being in his own hand writing,
containing town and my late mother's births- the date of their marriage, and the names and the date of
the births of their several children- Edah Anderson

Declaration
In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of
Congress of the 7th of June 1832
State of New Hampshire
County of Sullivan          ⎬
On this 4th day of February AD 1845. Personally appeared before the
Judge of the Court of Probate within and for
said County of Sullivan Mary Ingalls a resident of Unity in said County of Sullivan aged
88 years 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 Act of Congress passed June 7th 1832 in the right of
her late husband Amos Ingalls. That she
is the widow of Amos Ingalls late of Acworth
in said County to whom she was married
on the 13th day of July Seventeen hundred
and eighty six and who died at said Acworth on the 19th day of July eighteen hundred and forty two. That her late husband the
said Amos Ingalls was several times engaged
in the New Hampshire Service of the Revolution
and mainly as she now thinks in the year
1777, but the number of tours of his service and
the names of his officers she cannot confidently
State but he belief is from what she recollects
to have heard him say that he was first engaged
Page 23

under a Captain Brown in April or May 1777
for nearly two months, and again in July
or August of the same year for the space of two
months or more under a Captain Stone of
Ringe, also in the summer of the next year
that is seventeen hundred and seventy nine
or eighty in the month of July as she thinks
under the command of a Captain Barron
of Col Nichols Regiment for the space of three
months or upwards and her belief is that he
may have performed other tours of service
not now recollected by her, but feels confident
he did perform the several tours above named
and that he was entitled to the benefit of the
aforesaid Act for the same
                                        Mary Ingalls

second child of Amos and Mary Ingals late of said Acworth and that
I was born on the 11th day of September 1788 as appears by
the records of births in this town and that I am consequently
now in the 68th year of my ag,e that from the early and after
repeated sayings of my father the said Amos Ingalls I am enabled
to state what I believe to be facts in reference to his
early history his Ingalls connetion and Revolutionary services and as follows, he was one of the seven sons of Josiah Ingalls of
Massachusetts and one of the settlers of the Town of Rindge
Josiah Ingalls who was a native of Rindge in this state. The
Christian names of his six brothers were Ebenezer, Josiah, Jonathan, Nathaniel  Simon and Caleb, all of whom were residents of
said Rindge during the war of the Revolution wherein severalof whom including my father were at various times engaged
for short periods from said town of Rindge but which I am
unable definitely to particulars my father I believe from
what I have heard him and others say was out as many as
three times of not more tree in the year 1777 at the west
during which I have heard him speak of being at Benning
 and other places in that quarter under
Captain Brown and Stone of Colonel Hulls Regiment
and subsequently under Colonel Nichols. I have heard
him speak of several individuals who were engaged in
service with him and of the number was David Adams, Samuel White, his brother who I think was a Sergeant, Ebenezer, and  also one Peter Webster
Page 46

My further recollection is that I have had my father and
Uncle Ebenezer, who for some length of time lived near us, converse relative to the war and their Revolutionary services from which and other circumstances I have no doubt but that my father the said Amos served long enough in all to entitle him to the benefit of the pension Act of the 7th of June 1832 from the passage of which till the time of his death which took place on the 19th day of July 1842.  he lived near me but did not to my knowledge ever apply for the same.  his said brothers have all deceased and I know of no one being alive who served with my father and by whom he could have proved
his services which may have been the reason why he
did not make an effort to obtain a pension in his life
time. That as he did not it was intimated to his widow
and my mother Mary Ingalls that she had a right to
claim in the right of her husband and that the
therefore made a declaration and had a pending claim
at the time of her death which happened on the 28th
day of December 1845. I further depose and say that it
now occurs to my mind that I have heard my father
say when speaking about applying for a pension that
one of the tour he served was performed for Israel
Adams the man with whom he lived at the time and
that exclusive of that was his other services would
not amount to six months which may have been an
other reason why he did not apply it being unknown
to him I presume that there was evidence of his service
found on the Rolls at Concord as has since to be
Page 47

been ascertained to be the case I say that my
father the said Amos Ingalls continued to reside in said
Rindge as I have always understood
till a short time after the close of the war and then
removed to Acworth aforesaid where he continued to
reside until his death.

entitled "An act granting half pay and pensions
to certain widows, and to the subsequent act of
Congress of the 3rd of March 1843 - That she is
the widow of Amos Ingalls late of Acworth in said
County of Sullivan who was several times engaged in the New Hampshire Militia in the Army of
the Revolution but what number of times and
the amount of service performed the same
with certainty state, her belief is from what
she has heard her late husband say that
he was engaged as many as three times if not
more. First under one Captain Brown in the
spring or early part of the summer of 1777, as a
private between one and two months but sound
State the precise length of time, and subsequently
in July of August of the year 1777 under a Captain
Stone for the space of two months or more and

under a Captain Barron of Col. Nichols, Regiment

belief is, that he may have performed other tours
of service but of which she is unable to give a
description

tenth day of July in the year seventeen hundred and eighty six, her name before marriage being Mary Holden, that her husband

I, Supply Reed of Acworth in the County of Sullivan and State of New Hampshire a Revolutionary Pension in of the United States depose and say that I have been a resident of said Acworth ever since the
year 1781. that soon after that period to wit about
the year 1785 or 6. I became acquainted with Amos Ingalls formerly of Rindge in this State and who
removed from said Rindge to said Acworth then single man and who died in July 1842. I was present and witnessed his marriage to Mary Holden in the summer season as know think of 1786 from which period my acquaintance with the said
Amos Ingalls continued till the day of his death
and with his wife now the widow Mary Ingalls
(who is still living up to the present time.) The said
Amos Ingalls from my first acquaintance with him
was ever after reputed to have rendered the country
several short tours of service while a resident of
said Rindge and my own confident belief is that he
was the identical Amos Ingalls who rendered the services
as certified by the Secretary of the State of New Hampshire and
for which his widow the said Mary Ingalls his widow claims.I never knew or heard of any other person of that name & excepting some of his descendants.

I Jonathan H. Reed of Acworth in the County of
Sullivan and State of New Hampshire aged 58 years depose and say that from my childhood till his death I lived near
to and was well acquainted with Amos Ingalls late of this
town deceased and who was reputed and believed to
have been a New Hampshire soldier of the Revolution
He was a resident in the family with
of fifteen years previous thereto. He died on the 19th
day July 1842 and left a widow by the name of Mary
Ingalls who is still living as his widow and is a
New Hampshire claimant for a Pension in the right of
her husband and also in her own right under the
act of the 7th July 1838. The said Amos Ingalls
was formerly a resident of Rindge in this State
from which place he came to north soon after
the close of the war. He was an inhabitant of said
Rindge in the time of the war and was there as I have reason to believe engaged in several short tour
of service, but the precise number and the names
of his officers I am unable to state. I have frequently
heard him speak of his services and strongly in
pressed with the belief that according to his account
he was engaged in as many as thirty two
of the Colonel Hales Regiment in 1777 and a third
in Col Nichols Regiment in 1780. In speaking of the
last he said it ended in the fall of the year and that
he was detained a while after his discharge on his
home by the measles. After the passage of the act of the 7th June
1832 I recollect of speaking to him about his claim to a
Pension and my belief is that he would have applied
for the benefit of said act had he not mistaken his right
Page 62

for he observed that he supposed that in order to obtain
a Pension he must have served at least six months under one
engagement and this he had not done three months or
upwards being the longest of his three several tours.  This I believe to have been the reason and main reason why he
did not apply previous to his decease. I further depose
and say in reference to the subject that the said Ingalls was a
home man that for many years previous to his death
he scarcely ever went abroad and my further belief is that
he ever remained ignorant of the provisions of said act
for he never sent to my knowledge and no one to my
knowledge acquainted with the pension business even
called upon or gave him any advice in relation the
to the same and I have to acknowledge that I never
saw the said act myself nor till of late have been acquainted with its provisions. the foregoing are in my belief
the reasons why the said Amos Ingalls did not apply for in
pension in his life time. I further unhesitatingly say that
in my belief that the Amos Ingalls of which I have above
spoken was the husband of Mary Ingalls and the identical
person who rendered the service for which the widow
Mary Ingalls claims for I never heard of any other person
by the name Amos Ingalls with the exception of a son
and grandson of the above named Amos Ingalls.
