The State of Ohio 
Trumbull County 

On this 2nd day of May A.D. one thousand eight hundred and thirty five 
Personally appeared before the court of Common Plea of the Sounty aforesaid Samuel Douds, a resident in said County of Tumbull and State of Ohio aged seventy one years on the 9th day of September this past. Who being first duly sworn on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the Act of Congress passed June 7th 1832. 
That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the month of May in the year A.D. 1778 with Captain Samuel Barker and served in the third regiment (or Col. J. R. Aleigr Regt) of the  Connecticut line, under the following named Offices- I joined the regiment on the fifth day of June A.D. 1778 at Pickskill near the "Yellow Mills" in the State of New York. Samuel Barker was my Captain and I served while in his Company as his servant- Jonathan Parsons R. Meigs. or Rulinn J. Meigs was my Colonel. And General Parsons commanded our brigade. The number of which I think was the first- at all events we lay on the right - Some few days after I joined the Regiment. We left Pickskill and marched to White Plains - New York, where we stayed at till the last of August or first of September when we left and as we then supposed for the State of Rhode Island, and marched to Quaker Hill. Where we halted for a few days, and then marched to Second Hill in the Town of New Millfords, Connecticut. Where we remained until the early part of November, we then marched to Redding, Fairfield Co, Connecticut where we remained during the Winter- In the Spring of 1779, I was transferred to a Regiment of Infantry, and was commanded by Capt. Ely Leavingsworth- Our Regt. was Commanded by Col. Scott. I think my company was no. 2 in the second Reg. in the Spring of 1779, and soon after I was attached to the
Page 4

Infantry we left Redding and marched to the White Plains N.Y. where we remained a short time, and marched to Newburgh and remained in that neighbourhood until in August, I think- From Newburgh we marched to Stony Point where we had battle with our Enemy, at this time  Gen. Wayne had the command - After our engagement at Stony Point we marched up the North River, and remained near River untill the coming of Winter, when we marched to Morristown New Jersey- where we put up for Winter Quarters - Before we started for Stony Point Capt. Clagon took the command of my company- 
In the spring of 1780, we left Morristown and I think our first march was to West Point NY.- remained there a few 
days
 weeks, and marched down to Middletown Point New Jersey from which place we took frequent marches, the particulars as to times and places I cannot state-
We remained in New Jersey until time to take Winter Quarters when we marched to Newburgh and put up for the winter
In the Spring of 1781 - I was taken sick and left in the Hospital at Newburg, where I remained two or three months and then in consequence of my ill health I obtained a furlough and went home- and joined the army again in the fall at Newburgh after it had taken winter Quarters
In the Spring of 1782 - Jonathan Barker, who had formerly been our adjutant took the command of my Company.  we left Newburgh in the spring and marched as we did in the summer of 1780, until our army started for Little York, at which time I was taken sick and sent back to West Point where I remained until my Regiment returned from their engagement with Cornwallis, when I again joined them at Newburgh where we remained until the 10 June A.D. 1783, when I received my discharge- 
When I entered the service I lived in Waterbury New Haven County Connecticut-
In the year 1819 or 1820 I employed Judge Amos Thompson of Putney Vermont to aid me in procuring a Pension, in which I failed, because I then possessed too much property and I think I left with him my discharge but if not I have lost it. I have recently written to Judge
Page 5

Thompson for my discharge, but he informs me that 
if left with him he has lost or destroyed it-
I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension
or annuity except the present and I declare that my
name is not on the Pension Roll of any agency of any
State-     Samuel Doud

Sir:

I return herewith the letter
of A. B. Alder Esq. I have to inform you that Samuel
Doud made application for a pension under the Act
of June 7th 1832, upon service in the Revolution, Connecticut, 
under Capt Barker, Col. Meggs (Meigs) regt (regiment)
The Rolls in this office show that he entered the
service in May 1778, and deserted in the following
November. By this act he forfeited all claim
to the bounty of his country; I Mr. David Tod
Warren. Trumbull Co. Ohio was informed of the
rejection of his claim, June 10th 1835. There is
consequently nothing due to him for arrears of pension; & this
office has no cognizance of claims for "back pay".

Dear Sir:

You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 3038, that Samuel Doud was born September 9, 1763, place not shown.

He applied for pension May 2, 1835, while living in Howland, Trumbull County, Ohio, and alleged the following service; that while a resident of Waterbury, New Haven County, Connecticut, he enlisted in May, 1778 and served with the Connecticut troops, under Captains Samuel Barker, Eli Leavenworth and Clagon, also in a company commanded by Jonathan Barker and in Colonels Return J. Meigs and Scott's regiments, was in the battle of Stony Point and was discharged June 10, 1783. He alleged that during a part of this time he was ill in the hospital and a part of the time at home on furlough. 

His claim was not allowed as the muster rolls of Captain Barker in Colonel Meigs' regiment showed that he enlisted in May, 1778 and deserted in November, 1778. 

There are no data relative to his family. 

Very truly yours

Reference is made to your request for information relative to Samuel Doud, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.

I Auren Roys acting Town Clerk of the Town of Norfolk, in the County of Litchfield aforesaid, being duly sworn depose and say that at the instance of Samuel Israel, Counsel of Mrs Huldah Doud of Knox County Ohio, I have examined the records of marriages in my office.  and after full and careful examination can find no record of the marriage of Mrs Huldah Doud - who is represented to have been married to Samuel Miles Doud prior to the year 1794 in this Town-the records neither before nor since that time furnish any proof of such marriage.  This however is by no means evidence that no such marriage took place in this Town-as it depended upon the person married, whether any record was made of the marriage, and I find but very few were at the trouble of having their marriage recorded. Altho it was required by the law of the State, yet it was generally neglected.

Sir

We would again earnestly urge upon your attention the pension case of Huldah Doud.  the old Lady and her family are very poor-- and the old Lady has been sick & requiring medical attendance a great part of the summer that they incurred a heavy Doctors Bill.

And the old lady feels, that if she is ever to it now is the time she wants it- not after she is dead.  That the want  of the comforts of life or proper medical attendance, we would therefore again urge this matter upon your attention & hope that we may have an early reply- 

Yours truly

Dear Madam: 

I advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim W. 4183, it appears that Samuel Miles Doud was born September 9, 1763 in Connecticut. 

While in New Hampshire he enlisted January 1, 1782, served ten months as a private in Captain Ward Bailey's Vermont Company and was wounded in the leg in a battle with the Indians, place not given. 

After the Revolution he lived in Connecticut, from there moved to Rutland County, Vermont, from there to New York State, and from there to Knox County, Ohio. 

He was allowed pension on his application executed July 22, 1839, at which time he was a resident of Knox County, Ohio. 

He died November 19, 1845, in Knox County, Ohio. 

The soldier married August 6, 1786, in Norfolk, Litchfield County, Connecticut, Huldah or Huldy Roys, or Reys, who was born August 28, 1770.

She was allowed pension on her application executed April 15, 1848, at which time she was a resident of Middleberry Township, Knox County, Ohio. She was still living in 1851. 

Samuel and Huldah Doud had the following children:

Knox County Ohio. 
Hon Secretary of war.

Sir sometime in July last there was a declaration made out for a pension for Samuel Doud now a citizen of Knox County Ohio. There was slip of paper inclosed in said declaration if it would not pass or otherwise suspended to send a line to Leverings post office Ohio stating the deficiency I have attended the post office for some time and no information on the subject 

The declaration was made but before H.W. Strong acting Justice of the peace in and for Knox County under Traditionary evidence and from bodily infirmity being unable to attend the Court of Common Pleas 

perhaps one objection may arise on part of the war department as the service set forth in the declaration, was performed in the State of Newhapshire, it appears from the law there were no Militia Rolls of the States excepting the States of Virginia & New Hampshire if that be the case Mr Douds name may not be on the Roll of Newhamshire the Officers he volunteered under was Capt Ward Baily who lived in the State of Vermont this was stated by Mr Doud the day after his declaration was sent to the war department.  I drew his declaration & from the character of Mr Doud & the credibility of the testimony of his witnesses is no doubt but the service was rendered.  be pleased to send me an answer as soon as convenient. 

I am yours Respectfully
James Graham

Personally appeared before the undersigned Benjamin H Taylor, Judge of the Court of Common Plea, of the County of Knox and State of Ohio the 24th day of April AD 1850, Robert Kisi who being first duly sworn deposes and says-
I am a resident of Middlebury Township in said County of Knox- I am in my sixty seventh year.- I have resided in Knox County for 21 years, I removed to this County from Rutland County Vermont where I lived from my infancy.  Where I became acquainted with Samuel Miles Doud and his wife Huldah Soud and their children. I first became acquainted with them about the year 1813 or 1814.  I do not recollect the date distinctly but judging from the wish of some of my own children and other circumstances I fix the date as above - my recollection is that Mr & Mrs Doud had lived then some years before I became acquainted with them-- at that time they were living together as man and wife & had no recollection of hearing any imputations to the contrary from that time to this- they had a family of several children some 6 or more. some of whom I became intimated acquainted with. I recollect their son owen [illegible] who was either the youngest or next the youngest child died [illegible] again if the ages of my own children I am able to fix his age at about 88 years
Page 56

I am satisfied that they have children that if they are living must be over fifty years of age - I think their son Theodore (who came to this County 27 years ago this June) is fifty years old or upwards,- and I think he is not the oldest child-- Theodore has not lived in this County for many years back- and I do not know whether he is dead or living – 
Mrs Huldah Doud is now living with her Son-in-law James S. Hulbert who resides in this Township- within a half mile of my residence- where I am now give this deposition - Anna Oatman died something like a year ago- perhaps more - I was acquainted with her for many years

The time of service performed to the best of his recollection was in the year of 1781.  from length of time to say positive he would not wish to say it might possibly been performed in the year of 1782.  his strongest impression is in the year of 1781.

Personally appeared before the undersigned Benjamin H. Taylor Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of the County of Knox and State of Ohio, on this 24th day of April AD 1850 Warren Owen who being first duly sworn according to Law deposes follows-
I have resided in this County thirty two years last fall- I am in my fifty eighth year and a farmer. I removed to this County from the County of Rutland in the State of Vermont where I was born and resided, until I removed to Knox County. I became acquainted with Samuel Miles Doud and Hildah Doud as early as 1812. they were then living together as man and wife, and continued to live together as such until his death. I first became acquainted with them in said Rutland County.  I understood they removed from the last named place the same place then some place in the State of New York and from thence to the State of Ohio. They came into this County I think about the year 1836 where Samuel Miles Doud died, and where his wife the said Huldah Doud still lives with her son-in-law, within a half mile of my farm- where I am now giving this statement. The said Huldah Doud had by her husband Samuel Miles Doud as many as 9 children, and perhaps more. I can name the following to wit, Theodore- Samuel- Isabella Ann- Polley-Almy- Edwin- Jacob & Owen. Almy is the youngest and Owen next I think- Samuel I was well acquainted with in Rutland County. We were young men together, and frequently in each others company, and intimatly acquainted- He was older than myself
Page 60

I think.  I was very well acquainted with Isabella- I recollect of Keeping Company with her when I was about 20 years old.  she was then a young woman and must have been some sixteen (of, or seventeen years of age.  I am not certain whether Samuel or Theodore was the oldest- nor am I certain that either one of them was the oldest of the family- I have no knowledge of what year the said Samuel Miles and Huldah was married in. They were understood to be man and wife when I first became acquainted with them, and have ever since lived together as such up to his death -- I have always understood that she was married to Samuel when quite young-
Anna Oatman died I think in July 1848, about 5 miles from here. I think at Fredericktown in this County-

Also personally appeared before the under signed Benjamin H. Taylor Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of the County of Knox , and State of Ohio, on this 24th day of April 1850 Mary Doolittle, who being first duly sworn deposes as follows – 
I am ‘70’ years of age the 7th day of next June, and I am a resident of Middlebury Township, Knox County, Ohio- I have said in Knox County 27 years- I removed here from Rutland County Vermont.  I was born in Norfolk Litchfield, County in the State of Connecticut- and am the sister of Huldah Doud the
Page 61

widow of Samuel Miles Doud- and also sister of Anna Oatman, who died two years ago come next July- who was eighty eight years of age at the time of her death. I have a distinct recollection of being present and seeing my Sister Huldah married to Samuel Miles Doud they were married in Norfolk- Litchfield County Connecticut. They were married some time about the year 1788 or perhaps before that time. I have no recollection as [illegible] year only by referring to my own age, the age of my sister, and the ages of her oldest children-- from all which I am satisfied they were married prior to the last named date - I was a small girl at the time some six or eight years old and altho' very many years have passed I still have a clear recollection of being present at the wedding. I recollect distinctly the house and the rooms and passing from one room into the other- and of the merriment and laughter that followed the marriage-  I recollect that they were married Esqr Wilcox who was an old grey headed man at the time. Shortly after their marriage they removed into Rutland County Vermont Huldah was married quite young-- her first child which was a girl was born about two years afterwards - this child died when it was about 3 years old. The next child was Theodore who was born some 3 years after the birth of the first- next to Theodore was Samuel-- the next was Isabella, next Edwin- and the others I do not recollect how they came in. There was ten children in all besides some that died shortly after birth
Page 62

There are but two of them now living in this vicinity Jocob and Almy-Almy is about 35 years of age-
My sister Anna Oatman had been blind for twenty years prior to her death and was a woman of remarkable memory up to that period. So much that it was the object of remark among her acquaintances - Almy is the youngest child.
