On this second day of February 1830, personally appeared in open court, being a court of record, proceeding according to the course of Common Law & having a jurisdiction unlimited in point of amount & keeping a record of its proceedings, & also having the power of fine & imprisonment for the County of Madison aforesaid, Jacob Patrick, resident in said county, aged Sixty Six years, wanting eleven days, who being first duly sworn according to Law, doth, on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the provision made by the acts of Congress, of the 18th March 1818, & the 1st of May 1820, that the said Jacob Patrick, in the year 1777, residing in the State of Connecticut near the line of the State of Rhode Island, at the time that the same together with the Harbour was occupied by the British army & fleet, the former being under the command of General Prescott: That an alarm having been given, the inhabitants of the place volunteered, & turned out to resist the attack of the enemy: That the said Jacob Patrick being then but a boy, also volunteered, & at the request of Colonel Barton, he accompanied him, together with others, in a boat, through the British Fleet, in the night, on to Rhode Island, & remained in charge of the boat, whilst Colo. Barton & his party proceeded & made a prisoner of Genl Prescott, & repassed(?) with him through the British Fleet to the american encampment. Genl. Prescott was afterwards exchanged for General Sullivan. And further, That the said Jacob Patrick, in the spring
Page 11

of the year 1780, supplied the place of his father Jacob Patrick, who had been drafted for the term of three months; that at the expiration of the said three months, the said Jacob Patrick enlisted for the term of one year, in the State of Connecticut, in the Company commanded by Captain Latham, in the regiment commanded by Colonel Ledyard, in the line of the State of Connecticut, on the continental establishment; That he continued to serve in the said corps until the expiration of the year for which he was enlisted, when he was discharged, (which discharge he has lost) from the service at Fort Griswold, in the State of Connecticut, a few days before the fort was taken & destroyed by Benedict Arnold, together with all the papers, documents, men & officers in the same: That he hereby relinquishes every claim whatsoever to a pension except the present, That his name is not on the roll of any State, except Connecticut, and that the following are the reasons for not making earlier application for a pension. 
That he has always been able to support himself until the present time; but being advanced in age & afflicted with a wound, which he received during his services in the army, on board the Sloop, Hancock,  Privateer, which sailed from New London, he is unable to labour for a livelihood, & is under the necessity of asking for a pension for his support. 
And in pursuance of the act of the 1st May 1820, I do solemnly swear, that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18th day of March 1818, & that I have not, since that time by gift, sale, or in any manner, disposed of my property so to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an act of Congress entitled "an act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land & naval service, of the United States in the Revolutionary war," passed on the 18th day of March
Page 12

1818 & that I have not, nor has any person in trust for me any property, or securities, contracts, or debts due to me, nor have I any income other than what is contained in the estimate & certificate of Timothy Brown, W. K. Fuller & J. B. Yates hereunto annexed. 
I am a wheelwright by occupation, I reside in a small house, which is particularly described in the aforesaid statement of Timothy Brown, W. K. Fuller & J. B. Yates. My occupation is not worth pursuing to any extent, & my inability to pursue the same, renders it a source, where(?) I derive very little benefit. I have a wife, who is aged sixty five years, who is also unable to obtain a sufficient support for the declarant & herself, without assistance. My children all reside from home, & from whom I receive no support. 
Real estate, I have none, either in remainder, recession, or expectancy, either in law or equity, excepting that which is set forth in the aforesaid statement of Timothy Brown, W. K. Fuller J. B. Yates.
Personal estate, I have none excepting that which was apprised, enumerated & set forth in the aforesaid statement of the said Timothy Brown, W. K. Fuller & J.B. Yates, which in all respects is true. 
That on the 18th. March 1818, I owned a farm in the town of Sullivan in the said County of Madison containing about sixty six acres of land: That I continued to own the same until the winter of 1829, when I disposed of it, excepting about four & an half acres, mentioned in the aforesaid statement, for the sum of fourteen hundred & twenty five
Page 13

dollars; which amount has been applied to the payment & extinguishment of the debts of the declarant, but has proved insufficient for the accomplishment of the same; & leaving him involved in an amount exceeding two hundred dollars.

State of New York
County of Wayne ss:
On the third day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty two personally appeared in open court, before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of the County of Wayne, now sitting, Jacob Patrick, a resident of the town of Lyons in the County of Wayne and State of New York aged sixty eight years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States, under the following named officers and served as herein stated:- In the summer or early in the fall of the year 1777, the British having taken possession of Rhode Island, the country was alarmed, and all turned out and my father, Jacob Partrick [Patrick], with the others- I was then between 13 & 14 years of age, & resided with my father at Volentown [Voluntown] in the State of Connecticut, and being desirous to go with my father, he consented, and I went as waiter to Lieut Montgomery of that town- at this time I crossed the channel, with Capt. Barton, when he took General Prescott, being a Boy I was left with the Boat when we landed, until the party made a prisoner of the General- I was from home at this time about ten days. 
In the following year my father removed to Plainfield in the same State, and in the spring or early part of the summer of the year 1779 my father Jacob Patrick was drafted from the militia, to serve for the term of three months and I went and served as a substitute for him, under Capt Joshua Bottom of the town of Plainfield aforesaid, and Lieut Nicholas Cagwin [Keigwin] of Volentown [Voluntown]
Page 30

aforesaid.- at this time we were stationed at New London, in the town or City- I served my term of three months out and was dismissed and went home. 
Early in the spring of the year 1780, every three men liable to do military duty were required and had to furnish, one man for the term of three months, and I went for Jonathan Colgrove [Colegrove] and John Shepherd [Shepard], under Capt Bottom I was one of the class(?)- we were then stationed at Brown's Point, so called, six miles East of New London to guard the Coasts from the British foraging parties- I served out the said term of three months [word rubbed out]. The Government being in want of troops in Fort Griswold, called the Matross. I enlisted for one year into the State Troops of the State of Connecticut, under Captain Latham & Lieut Denison, Col. Ledyard had the command of the Fort- I served out the said term of one year and received a discharge a short time before the massacre by Arnold- At or about the time of said massacre the Country was alarmed, and I was at the Fort again, soon after the British left, and I then engaged on Board of the Sloop Hancock, a privateer, owned by a Mr. Mumford of New London; the day after we sailed we fell in and(?) had a battle with a British Vessel of Superior Size; in this battle I received two wounds, one in my left leg and the other in my right foot- we made our escape and got into Stonnington [Stonington], after being out about one week at this time, and I then returned to my father's lame with the wounds I had received. The same fall I went as an apprentice to the wheelright [wheelwright] business with Mr. S. Dorrance of the town of Windham, in the same State, and in the spring of the year 1782 I was drafted from the Militia for the term of three
Page 31

months, and went & served under Capt. Fuller, and Ensign Simond's- we were a part of the time stationed in New London and a part of the time on the coast west of New London, and were dismissed after serving two months- I was out in service a number of times on alarms in the course of the [written over "this"] summer & fall of this year (1782) when the British landed with foraging parties &c but I cannot state the number of times and length of service at some times a week at a time and some times less. The discharge that I got when my term of a years service was out, I left with my father, or at his house, who moved to Pennsylvania a few years thereafter. I was afterwards informed by my father that the discharge was lost, and I have no doubt that it was- It has been proved that I had such a discharge, and the proof is in the office of the Secretary at War of the United States. I expect and believe, for it was sent there, and a part of the above services have likewise been proved and the proof forwarded to said office where I expect and believe it is. That in the services herein before mentioned he served as a private- That he has no documentary evidence to prove his said services, nor any other proof than that above referred to, and that he now knows no person, whose testimony he can procure, who can testify to his services herein before stated. at the time making my former application for a pension I supposed the years service was in the continental establishment, but have since learned that it was in the State Troops- To the interrogatories required by the Regulations of the War Department, to be propounded by the Court to him, he the said Jacob Patrick answers as follows- To the first interrogatory, he answers, That he was born in the town of Volentown [Voluntown] in the said State of Connecticut in the year 1764 February 13th. To the second interrogatory, he answers, That he has no record of his age.
Page 32

To the third interrogatory, he answers, That when he was called into service first he lived in Volentown [Voluntown] in Connecticut, afterwards at Plainfield in the same state and the last time in Windham then now called, Hampton in same state Since the revolutionary war, he has lived 7 years in Vermont and in the State of New York ever since- 31 years in the town of Sullivan, Madison County & 7 years previous at Whitestown, Oneida County & 4 years at C Aurelius Cayuga County & came to Lyons, Wayne County last spring where he now resides- 
To the 4th interrogatory, he answers, That he was called into service by volunteering, by being drafted, by enlistment and as a substitute, for Jacob Patrick his father in the manner particularly detailed in this declaration- 
To 5th interrogatory he answers, That he does not recollect of there being any regular officers stationed where he served or of there having been any other regiment than the one in which he served, and he has detailed in this declaration the general circumstances of his service as fully as he now recollects them. 
To the sixth interrogatory, he answers, That he never had any written discharge from service except from the years service- that discharge was signed by Col. Ledyard and given to him at Fort Griswold- that he left the discharge with his father, when he went as an apprentice, his father moved to Pennsylvania and the discharge was lost, as he was afterwards informed by his father, and by his too he thinks- 
To the 7th interrogatory, he states the names of Oliver Allen, Daniel Chapman, Myron Holley, Revd Lucas Hubbell Doct Jiremiah [Jeremiah] B. Pierce & Zalman [Zalmon] Rice all of whom reside in Lyons, Wayne County in State of New York, where he now resides. 
And he hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a
Page 33

pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension Roll of the agency of any State or territory.

Charleston, West Virginia 

Dear Sir:  
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Jacob Patrick, born in 1764, in Voluntown, Connecticut, served in the war from said Voluntown. 
The data which follow were obtained from ["papers" crossed out] for pension and bounty land on file under W. 19960, based upon the service of Jacob Patrick in the Revolutionary War.
Jacob Patrick was born February 13, 1764, in Voluntown, Connecticut. He was the son of Jacob Patrick, and his wife, Zeruah or Temah. 
While residing in Voluntown, Connecticut, with his parents, Jacob Patrick, in the summer of 1777, when the British were in possession of Rhode Island, he went with his father under Colonel Barton and was out about ten days. The following year his father moved to Plainfield, Connecticut, and in the spring of 1779, he served three months as substitute for his father, in Captain Joshua Bottom's company and was stationed in New London. He served in the spring of 1780, three months in Captain Joshua Bottom's company, stationed at Brown's Point. He served one year in Captain Latham's company, under Colonel Ledyard at Fort Griswold, and was discharged a few days before the fort was taken by Benedict Arnold. In the fall of 1781, he went on board the sloop " Hancock", a privateer owned by Mr. Mumford, which sailed from New

London, had a battle with a British vessel, at which time he was wounded in the left leg, also wounded in the right foot, made his escape and reached Stonington, having been out about one week. 
Jacob Patrick, Jr. moved to Windham, Connecticut, and in 1782, served two months in Captain Fuller's company, and later in 1782 was out in frequent alarms. 
This soldier, Jacob Patrick, lived after the Revolution in Vermont, in Sullivan, Madison County, New York, in Whitestown, Oneida County, New York, and in Aurelius, Cayuga County, New York. 
He was allowed pension on his application executed October 3, 1832, at which time he was a resident of Lyons, Wayne County, New York, where he had lived since in the spring of 1832. He was living in 1845, in Sullivan, New York. He died April 28, 1850. 
Jacob Patrick married January 1, 1786, Sarah Spicer. She was born May 16, 1765, place not shown, nor are the names of her parents given. 
The widow, Sarah Patrick, was allowed pension on her application executed August 19, 1850, at which time she was living in Sullivan, New York. She was allowed, also, one hundred sixty acres of bounty land on her application executed April 24, 1855, then living in Sullivan, New York. 
It was stated that Jacob Patrick, father of the above noted Jacob Patrick, moved after the Revolution to Pennsylvania; his mother, Zeruah or Temah Patrick, was living in 1829, in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, and in 1833, she was "above ninety years of age" and had moved to Ohio.

Jacob Patrick of Lyons in the said County, personally appeared before me, the undersigned, First Judge of the County Courts in and for the said County of Wayne, who being by me duly sworn deposeth and saith, that when he heretofore made his declaration and application for a Pension, under the acts of Congress of the 18th March 1818 & the 1st of May 1820, he supposed that the services stated in that declaration to have been rendered by him, and particularly the years services in the company commanded by Captain Latham in Col Ledyard's Regiment, was on the Continental Establishment, but he was afterwards advised that they were not; and he was informed that a pension was refused him, for the reason only that the said services were not rendered on the Continental Establishment- And the deponent further deposes and says that he did not in his declaration above referred to state all the services he had rendered, because he supposed and believed that it was only necessary, under the acts aforesaid to establish a service of nine months to entitle him to a Pension- that when he made his declaration before the Court of Common Pleas of Wayne County in October 1832, under the act of Congress of June 7, 1832, he set forth and stated the same services mentioned in his said first declaration, and other services rendered by him in the army during the revolutionary war- and that all the services stated by him in his said last mentioned declaration, were rendered by him at the times and in the manner therein mentioned and set forth-

J.L. Edwards Esq
Dear Sir,
Your favor of the 5th instant, respecting the Claim of Jacob Patrick to a Pension, has been received- in which you say it "has been examined upon its merits and suspended for proof." He requests me to call your attention to certain affidavits, now on file, in the War Department, Pension Office; He made a declaration & application for a Pension, between July 1829 & February 17, 1830, as appears by your letter to D.B. Cady Esq. of the latter date, which I send herein enclosed- which application was made under the former laws, he supposing, that the years service at Fort Griswold, was in the Continental Establishment- That, accompanying that declaration, were the affidavits of Zeruah Patrick, Joshua Patrick and Polly Flower, who then lived in different places in Pennsylvania taken (he thinks) in July 1829, in support of his claim. By your letter of Feb. 17, 1830, it seems his application was rejected for the reason that Cols. Barton & Ledyard, under whom he served, did not command Regiments on the Continental Establishment & that his case did not come under the law of 1818. He claims that those affidavits prove and Establish his services, and he thinks that they ought to be received in support of his declaration and application (now pending) under the act of June 7, 1832, and I perceive no reason why we they should not. When the papers of his present application were made out he referred me to the above mentioned affidavits and intended they should be referred to in his papers, but I did not deem it necessary, to do so, tho' perhaps I had better have done it- I hope my error in Judgement, if any, will not be suffered to prejudice him. I beg you, upon receipt hereof, to refer to, and Examine the affidavits, now on file in your
Page 46

office, and let me know whether you will receive them in evidence in support of his present application or not. I think they ought to be received in the same manner and have the same effect as though made for the purposes of this application_If the affidavits correspond with & support his declaration why should they not be received as satisfactory? and not subject the applicant to the delay, trouble & expense of procuring new ones, which shall contain the same facts and nothing more? If the applicants declaration, and the affidavits referred to, shall be found to be satisfactory, as to the performance of the services, as I trust they will be, you will forward to me a Pension certificate for him, without delay. If however, contrary to my expectations, the affidavits should not be received in support of the present claim, then I request you to let me know the case remains suspended and to inform me immediately so that the applicant may endeavor to ascertain whether those persons are still living and where they reside and to procure new affidavits from them. They are not known to him to be living, tho it is possible some of them are. They are all very old persons & Jeruah Patrick is above 90 years of age, & some time ago left Pennsylvania & went to some part of Ohio, not known to the applicant & it is quite probable she is dead. If the affidavits should not be received in support of the present application, I beg an immediate answer for the reasons I have stated.
I am respectfully
Your Obt. Servt

Sir
The papers of Mrs Sarah Patrick of Sullivan
Madison County New York a revolutionary claimant for bounty land under the law of 1855 were laid aside last winter because the evidence by which her husband obtained his pension was parole [parol] and the law required Record evidence but as she could not procure record evidence she had made up her mind that she should have to do without her farm but we see by the papers that Congress have amended the law, making Parole [parol] evidence sufficient to establish her claim where record evidence is not obtainable Now she wishes to know whether there is any thing more to be done on her part to entitle her to the warrant for which she is an applicant, Mrs Patrick is one of the few revolutionary claimants for bounty land is 91 years old and thinks if she does not get her warrant soon she will not be able to make many improvements on her farm

Dear Sir:
I should like the war records, including any information as to residence, dates of death, ages, wives names and witnesses to validity of any probable pension claims of the following:
Jacob Patrick born in Voluntown, Conn. 5/24/1733
James Patrick born in Voluntown, Conn, 3/3/1758 and a son of the above Jacob.
Jacob Patrick also had a son Jacob born in Voluntown, Conn 2/13/1764 who can easily be confused, as to records, with his father due to name. I am particularly interested in the records of the first Jacob and of his son James.

Records as far as known for a Jacob Patrick:-
Private in Capt. Robert Dixson's Co. in the 21st Conn. Reg. and detached for service in the Cont. Army 3/10/1778 to serve 3 yrs or more.
Private in Capt. Abm. Salisbury's Co. from Windsor, Vt. (Apparently in Maj. John Wheelock's Corps) Oct. 1777.

Records as far as known for a James Patrick:-
Private in Capt. John Dixson's Co., 21st Conn. Reg. and detached to serve in the Light Horse of the Cont. Army 6/12/1780 until 12/31/1780/ Res.-Plainfield, Conn.
Private in Capt. John Dixson's Co., 21st Reg. and detached to serve in the Cont. Army for 3 yrs or more. Res. Voluntown. Conn.
Private in 4th Brigade Conn. Mil. under Gen. Silliman and detached to serve 3 yrs or more in Cont. Army 3/1/1778
Enlisted as private 11/10/1777 in Capt. Solomon Strong's Co. in 5th Conn. Mil. under Col. P.B. Bradley. Disc. 6/12/77
Private in R.I. Line on pension rolls 4/18/1819 and died 12/29/1825 at Cary, N.Y.

By the birth records you may be able to differentiate between the various Jacobs and James. The wife of the first Jacob was Zeruah but the wives of the two sons are not known. One of the Jacobs moved to Vermont about 1775 but which one is also not known. Pierce's Register gives one James Patrick who served in Rhode Island.

I hope the information supplied will be helpful enough to enable you to give me information of these men.

You state that Jacob Patrick had a son, Jacob, also, born in Voluntown, Connecticut, February 13, 1764, and cite military records of soldiers of both names.

There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon service in the Revolution of a Jacob Patrick who was born in 1733.

He served one year in Captain Latham's company under Colonel Ledyard at Fort Griswold and was discharged a few days before the fort was taken by Benedict Arnold. In the fall of 1781 he went on board the sloop "Hancock", a privateer owned by Mr. Mumford, which sailed from New London, had a battle with a British vessel, at which time he was wounded once in the left leg and once in the right foot, made his escape and reached Stonington, having been out about one week.

Dear Madam:

You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 19960, that Jacob Patrick, the son of Jacob and Zeruah or Temah Patrick, was born February 13, 1764, in Voluntown, Connecticut.

He served as a private with the Connecticut troops, as follows: While residing in Voluntown with his parents, in 1777, when the British were in possession of Rhode Island, he went with his father under Colonel Barton when General Prescott was captured, and was out about ten days.

Sir,
The documents which you sent to this Department in support of the claim of Jacob Patrick to a pension on account of Revolutionary service have been examined. Colonels Barton and Ledyard, under whom he states to have served, did not command regiments on the Continental establishment. The Act of March 18th 1808 under which he claims, provides for those only who served on the Continental establishment. His claim cannot therefore be allowed. The papers will remain on our files, according to the regulations of this Department.
I am. respectfully
Your Obt. Servant
J.L. Edwards
