State of Vermont, Chittenden County ss
On this first day of February A.D. 1837 personally appeared before me Charles Russell - Judge of the Probate Court within and for the District of Chittenden and State of Vermont Pamela Allen a resident of Jericho in the County of Chittenden aforesaid and State of Vermont, aged seventy five 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 July 4, 1836. That she is the widow of Samuel Allen, who was a private in the continental army in the war of the revolution. He enlisted in the city of New York and served as I believe more than one year, but from lapse of time she is unable to state the regiment in which or appears under whom he served. His services in the continental army she has no personal knowledge of, but relies upon the records or rolls that she believes will be found in the war office at Washington. He was at the battle of the Cowpens and when New York was taken by the british troops under Cornwallis, her husband retreated from New York with the american army.
He came to North Salen, West Chester County in the State of New York where she was born and resided until the year 1784 or 1785. About the year 1776 in the latter part of said year, after his term of service in the continental army expired. After she was married to the said Samuel in the year 1777, he was constantly employed as a minute man at North Salem, near the british lines and was frequently called out and engaged in active service in the militia during the whole war, but she is unable to specify particularly the services which he performed.
Page 4

nor the officers under whom he served. He stood as a minute man at one time one full year and in consequence of their being so near the british lines, it was necessary for the militia to be under arms constantly and consequently nearly the whole of her husbands time was devoted to the service of his country during the whole war. At one time he was detached with a few others to capture Maj. Ireland a british officer that the americans might have a british major to exchange for Major Brush an american major who was a prisoner of war with the british. The few americans detached on this service passed over to Song Island in the night where they remained until the next night, when they succeeded in capturing Major Ireland, brought him into the american camp and he was afterwards exchanged for Major Brush. When her husband served as a minute man he served in the capacity of orderly sergt.
She further declares that she was married to the said Samuel Allen on the third day of October 1777. That her husband the said Samuel Allen died on the second day of February A.D. 1810 and that she has remained a widow ever since that period, as will more fully appear by reference to the proof hereto annexed.

I, Sarah Smith of Rotton in the County of Chittenden and State of Vermont do depose and say that I am seventy nine years old. That I lived in North Salem in the County of West Chester and State of New York (where I was born) from my infancy until after the year 1785 and until I removed with my husband to Vermont. I was personally acquainted with Samuel Allen and Pamela Lowry (now Pamela Allen) who resided there, neighbors to me several years. The said Samuel Allen was married to the said Pamela Lowry at North Salem in my presence. I attended the wedding but connot state the month nor year when they were married, but this much I do state from distinct recollection that they were married before I was and my own marriage was in the year 1778.
I know that Samuel Allen above named was in the service of the United States during the war of the revolution. He was an apprentice to Mordicai Wheeler of New York City as the said Mordicai informed me at North Salem after he that said Mordicai came to North Salem where he came as a refugee and the said Mordicai complained that said Allen had enlisted into the continental service whereby he the said Mordicai had lost the said Allens services. After the said Allen came to North Salem, he was frequently called out and served in the malitia and served in the United States service after his marriage, but from the great lapse of time that has intervened, I cannot state his services, Definitely whenever there was an alarm, he was always on duty and stood as a minute man when not in actual service during the whole war. The said
Page 6

Pamilia Allen now resides in Jericho Vermont, and has never married since the death of her husband but has ever remained and still is his lawful widow. I cannot state the precise time when said Allen died and further say not.

I Pamela Allen widow of Samuel Allen deceased 76 years of age of Jericho Chittenden County and state of Vermont depose and say that after Samuel Allen had remained in North Salem untill I had become well acquainted with him and that atachment exerted between us that eventuated in our union the 3d of Oct 1777. Said Allen some time in the summer of 1776 left North Salem went to New York and as I believe enlisted in NY for one year but weether he enlisted then or before he left North Salem I am not positive but of this fact I am very positive that so long as the american army lay in Brooklin and New York often said Allen left North Salem untill the army evacuated New York. He was in the army and retreated out of New York and was in the Battle of White Plains for I heard from him all most every week untill his return to North Salem which was late in the fall or nuther the seting in of winter and there came with him a great number of soldiers and they were all quartered upon the inhabitants through the winter and when he returned or after his return I saw him every few days heard him relate the retreat of the americans out of New York and then sufferings on that ocasion and heard relate the Battle at White Plains and said Allen and the others that came with him in the fall, left very early the spring of 1777 this I distinctly recollect that he was gone when the British came to Danbury in connecticut which is only nine miles from where we then resided and from the time he left in the spring of 1777 till his return in the summer which was about the same time in the summer that he left the year before he was at the White Plains and Bedford and North Castle and I frequently heard from him as I did the summer before and his going in the spring of 1777 was to make up the time he engage for as I then understood. After his return in the summer of 1777 he remained at home through the winter went no more in to the service untill the next summer and then only as he was cald out on volunteered in the militia which was frequent. Sometimes he would be out a month or two at a time and some times only a day or two and not calld from home. He was obliged to be much of his time out of nights to guard against the [illegible] of the tories and the Crow Bays which were very plenty and allmost the whole of his time from 1776 until the close of the war was concerned in the service of his country. I am confident that he served in all much over two years.
Page 10

I do not remember the names of the officers under whom he enlisted yet I presume that at that time I undoubtedly knew and I now think that the name of the Captains was Ketcham. I heard him tell much of a Capt Scudder and of a General or Colonel that I think he served under some part of the time by the name of McDougal. After we were married  I soon had a family to engross my attention that diverted my mind in some measure and the opperations of the war became so familiar to me that I did not feel that anxiety for the safty of my husband when he was out on duty as in the first of the war is one reason why I do not as well remember when and where he was after that period as I did before, when he left the first time to go in to the service I did not expect he would live to return. I therefore made a [illegible] impresion on my mind.

I Heman Lowry aged 59 years of Burlington in the County of Chittenden and state of Vermont depose say that I am a brother of Pamela Allen widow of Samuel Allen deceased. I distinctly recollect hearing my parents tell of the aforesaid Samuel Allens being in the service as a soldier during the Revolutionary War. I do not now remember them saying that he was an enlisted soldier yet that was my impression and I am still of the opinion for some part of the time, I understand that he served much of this time and that they were marched during the war. I was personaly and well acquainted with said Allen from my earlayest recollection till his death, lived near and in the same neighbourhood at the time of his death. I recollect hearing him tell of being in the service and I understand from him for considerable length of time. Said Allen was a man of truth and veracity and I believe whatever he said about being in the service might be relyed upon as truth.

I Peter L Allen 49 years of age of Jericho in the county of Chittenden and state of Vermont depose and say that I am a son of Pamela Allen widow of Samuel Allen deceased. I distinctly recollect of hearing my father while living tell of being a soldier in the Revolutionary war. I frequently heard him converse with a Mr. Brown who it appeared by their conversation was in the service with him and likewise heard him converse with a Mr. Nathan Smith who it appeared was in the service allso some part of the time yet not as much as my father. He being a yonger man than my father. Said Smith was a distant relative of my mother formerly lived in the same North Salem in the state of Vermont and I think before her death witch was two or three years since at Newhaven in the state of Vermont and I believe he drew a pension for his services. I heard my father tell of being in the city of Newyork as a solder when the american army avacuated the city and of the sufferings of the soldiers in their retreat to the White Plains and of being in the battle that was fought at that place and of many circumstances relating to said battle. One circumstance was that a general or I now believe by the name of McDougal had his horse shot under him during the engagment. I heard him tell of many engagments in which he participated but I do not remember what except the taking of Stoney Point and of passing over on to Long Island while the British fleet lay in the East River through which he had to pass in crossing and of captureing a Major Ireland to exchang for one of our Majors who was then a prisner amongst the British. I heard him say that he spent the most of his time in the service of his country from1776 till near the close of the War. I do not remember his saying that he was an enlisted soldier yet that was then my opinion and still is my opinion for some part of the time that he served.

I Susanna Benedict 79 years of age of St Andrews Lower Canada depose and say that during the Revolutionary War I resided in North Salem in the state of Newyork. I was well acquainted with Samuel Allen who in 1777 charmed Pamela Lowrey of the same North Salem. I knew of his being much of his time in the service of his country as a soldier, as the place was so near the lines and so many tories in the place it became necesserary for all those who were true to the cuase of Liberty to be all most constantly on duty and said Allen was a true friend to his country and was allways ready to do his duty. I do not recollect any particular battles or engagements he was in yet I am confident he must have served more than two years for he was there untill the end of the War and we were in allmost constant alarms and those who were not in the army had to guard the place from the depredations of the tories.

Sir
A few days since I [illegible] a certificate of service of Samuel Allen, to Arad Joy of Ovid Seneca Co. Some months ago I gave a certificate for service of the same individual, which was returned about the 14th inst on the ground that it did not contain all the service given on the books of the office to that name, and requesting me to insert several items of service named in his letter. I have accordingly given it, but endorsed on the back my opinion and the reason why I think an item amounting to $34.10 should be rejected. When Mr. Joy wrote for the certificate he requested me to send it as soon as possible. I did so telling him at the same time, I felt bound to give you reasons why some of the alleged service should be rejected, he immediately returned the certificate & desired me to make any explanation I should deem proper, which I did. I do not intend to charge Mr. Joy with knowing the item ought not to be given, far from it, for I think he was not informed as to the nature of the case, but I desire, should you deem it sufficient importance, that you will give me a written request
Page 36

to forward to you an explanation of service so I may deem necessary to enable you to fully understand the facts relating to such service; otehrwise it may sometime be said that I voluntarily interfere to prevent claims from being allowed.
No person, unless he is well acquainted with the books relating to military services, which are in this office, and also with the system upon which audits for service are given, can at all times judge by the certificate or by the testimony at this late day, if witnesses who may have served at the time & with the claimnant, whether the time is correct or not, or whether the claimnant performed all service given to his name, as given in the certificate.

I regret that I am unable to furnish you with a copy of my letter to Mr. Joy. I did not suppose a copy would at any time be wanted, and did not hand it over to be entered. I have but seldom if ever, caused copies of letters relative to, or enclosing certificates, to be made. As near as I can now recollect, I briefly stated to Mr. Joy that in my opinion for if any of the items he denied to have inserted in the certificate he had returned, were performed by the Samuel Allen for whom he acted as agent. That an examination of other books than the ten volumes of pay rolls strengthened this opinion; and as I had inserted them as requested, I felt bound to furnish the Commissioner of Pension with such evidence against their being allowed, as the books of the office contain. In his reply he enclosed the certificate and requested a memorandum of the evidence against them, to be made, and also requested I would note on the back of any certificate he applied for, any evidence against the claim, the books might show.
In nearly all cases where certificate are issued, I endeavor to ascertain all the facts relating to the service given in it, but owing to the length of time required to examine all the books, some of which are not indexed, I do not, unless I find some incongruity, scrutinize each book.
I am Sir, Very Repectfully Your Obt. Servt.

On the 25th day of May AD 1839 before me Epenetus Wallace a Commissioner of Deeds in and for said county personally appeared Silvanus Townsend of North Salen in said county aged eighty four years, who being duly sworn doth depose and say that he was well acquainted with Samuel Allen in the time of the Revolutionary War. That he the said Samuel Allen was a refugee from Long Island, which was then in possession of the British, that he married a young lady in North Salen in said county, by the name of Pamela Lowry, and resided in said North Salem, except when he was in the Army until the close of the Revolutionary War. After which he the said Samuel Allen moved to the state of Vermont, as I was informed. That he served three months with the said Samuel Allen under Captain Benoni Platt, in the year 1778, in the months of January February & March, at North Castle in said county, and the deponent further says that in the same year in August he the deponent and the aforesaid Samuel Allen were both drafted, and served under Captain David Pardy, the Regiment of Colonel Thomas Thomas, at North Castle in said county about the first day of August, and served with the said Allen three months more. That during the said three months they were on scouting parties, and excursion throughout the county. That he the said deponent well recollects that John Osborn was drummer in said company. That Israel Silsberry was a sergeant in said company. That William Rogers was lieutenant under Captain David Pardy.
The deponent further says that in the year 1779, he the deponent and Samuel Allen above named, joined the Army in the month of April, under Captain Gilbert Dean at North Castle in said county, and served three month more, and took nine prisoners in the time, betwixt Tarry Town and a place called Mile Square.
Page 49

He the deponent further says that they were frequently called out in alarms in short tours, to defend the inhabitants of said county near the Lines, as they were continually harrassed by the British and cowboys, from below. And further the deponent saith not.

Westchester county SS.
I Margaret Allen 78 years of age of North Salem in the county of Westchester and state of Newyork depose and say that at the commencement of and during the revolutionary war I resided in this town about the year of 1776. The fore part of the year as I believe there came to this town a man by the name of Samuel Allen from Long Island and remained through the war and in the year 1777 was marred to Pamela Lowrey of this town and in the same neighbourhood where I resided at the close of the war. They removed from here and as I then understood went to Vermont. During the war he Allen was much of the time from home and as I then heard said by him and Major Brush Capt Scuder and others was in the army and I should think from the best of my recollection that he spent more than half of his time in the service of his country and I heard him spoken of as good and faithfull soldier in and as friend to his county.

April 13th 1838
Dear Sir
Although it may be perfectly unnessesary for me to comment upon the evidence yet I hope it may not be thought presuming in me to through out a few sugestions. In the first place as it regards my mothers 2nd Declaration, I believe when you take into consideration the circumstances relating to her age in the year 1776 and the atachment then exerting between her and my father his leaving her for the purpose of going in to the service and being exposed as he nessasarily must be and the intense anxiety that the prevailing consequnce of the enemy being so near and in daily and hourly expectation of an atack from them the feeling of all classes must be drawn to that point and then she being free from all other care except that of her affianced and as impressions made at that period of life and more lasting you will I believe not think it strange that she should remember this part of my fathers service better than she should those of a later period when she had a young family to engross her attention and the [illegible] of the war had become more familiar. In the next place when you consider the situation of the place where my father resided its proximity to the lines you can hardly believe it possible for him to have served less than two years if he had not enlisted at all. As it regards what my father said being evidence in the case I cannot discover why it should not be taken as he would not have had in view any benefit from such declarations as ben shown by Mr. Truman Barney (to say nothing of what I gave in my affidavit) and Mrs. Haman Lowry although he Lowry is my mothers brother. I believe her character stands too high to have a suspicon next against him or being influenced by any feeling in consequent of the ties of consanguinity. In respect to the depositions of Mr. Sylvanus Townsend and Mr. Peleg Smith they stated if I remember right that my father enlisted in to Samuel Debevans Company. If they are not correct I believe they were sincere in their belief for I can discover no inducment to either of them to make a fals statement. They are neither of them in any way related to my mother nor have they been or heard from her from the time she left them immediately after the war untill the time they gave their depositions. I think it may be possible they were mistaken, but I am rather inclined to beliee that my fathers name was evidently left out in transcribing the rolls if the orignal rolls are not in your possison but I am ignorant on that point.
Page 54

I am of opinion that when you take in to consideration all the testimony in the case you must conclude that is is most likely that my father was in the serivce in the year 1776 and 1777 if he was not an enlisted soldier. But whatever decision you shall be disposed to make my mother will fully satisified for she is fully [illegible] that if you [illegible] are actuated by the same feeling of allowance and honsty for the deficiency in the proof of my fathers enlistment in 1776 which she has no doubt you will. She will have justice done her. I do not know as any thing further can be shown in the case except there might be found a great number who have heard from my father and other old people that he was in the service. If you do not feel satisfied that the case is fully made grant. Pleas inform me how for you consider it made out as soon as convenient. You perhaps may think I am interested in this case. I am no farther than I am engaged as agent for my mother for which I shall receive a remuneration whether she obtains a pension on or not for she has the means to do it without. You may perhaps think strange that no one in North Salem knew of his being in the service except Townsend there are old men there that are pensioners but they were all of them enlisted and went in some other direction. Mr. Timothy Vanscoy was in a company of [illegible] Mr. Daniel Pardy was gone to Canada Mr. Samuel Trusdale enlisted in to a company of Light Horse in the Connecicut line in Colonel Sheldens regiment a Mr. Brown in Steannads Company. There are other old men there whose names I have forgotten but they were all in some other party so that they knew nothing of my fathers enlistment. I spent ten days in that region last fall and those two men Townsend and Smith were all that could tell me an thing of his services, another reason why I believe in my fathers services is my mother would never have mad so great an effort to find evidence in the case if she had not ben positive of his service. I have nothing further to say only I feel satisfied to leave in your hands believing that the same liberal feeling that has marked your former decisions will incline you to do my mother ampl justic. Respectfully yours
Peter L. Allen
