In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 7th July 1838 entitled "An act granting half pay and pensions to certain Widows."
State of New Hampshire Sullivan, ss
On this 31st day of August 1838 personally appeared before Eleazer Jackson, an Associate Justice of the Court of Common Pleas for said county of Sullivan, Anna Johnson a resident of Grantham County of Sullivan aged 78 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 7, 1838, entitled "An act granting half pay and Pension, to certain widows." That she is the widow of Abner Johnson of said Trantham late deceased who was actively engaged as a private as she believes from what she has heard his husband say, in the war of the Revolution, for the space of three years or thereabouts, He frequently stated, in his lifetime, that he was out through seven campaigns, amounting in all to nearly three years actual service, being at the time a resident of Tollam, State of Connecticut. That he first enlisted in 1775 under the command of a Capt Hinckly, as she thinks for eight months, but it is impossible for her to name his other tours of service, or the officers, under whom he served as she has no documentary evidence, and does not recall her Husband stating further particulars; she well recollects
Page 4

hearing him say, that he was at New York, when ourselves evacuated the place; also at Governour's Island and Long Island, also one tour at New London. 
She further declares that she was married to the said Abner Johnson, on the 20th day of February in the year Seventeen hundred and eighty three; that her Husband, the aforesaid Abner Johnson, died on the 26th day of October 1828 that she was not married to him prior to his having the service but the marriage took place previous to the first day of January Seventeen hundred and ninety four, viz at the time abovenamed.

Sir
The evidence offered in the application of Anna Johnson deceased for an increase & allowance is sufficient to establish the two months under Capt Wood at New London in 1779. But the testimony of Samuel Read is wholly insufficient to prove that her husband served under Capt Elijah Robinson Col Enos in 1778. the witness named is borne upon every rollof that company while that of her husband is not found on any one of them which is conclusive that he was not a soldier of that company. He may have been a servant to one of the officers.
Meriden N H April 26, 1847
Sir
As upon the receipt and perusal of the original letter from which the above is extracted I was apprehensive that the deposition of Samuel Read to which reference is had had been misunderstood. I have since sent and obtained from said Read a renewed and explanatory deposition in relation to the service of Abner Johnson at White Plains and Horse Mock in 1778 which is herewith transmitted and by which it will be perceived that he did not state or mean to state that Johnson served in the same Company Capt Elijah Robinson with him, but in the same Regiment and that this he renewedly states and says upon his oath that "In this I cannot be mistaken for I had been acquainted with him from his childhood, and I therefore
Page 16

frequently if not daily saw him while so engaged in service during said town. Of this I am as confident as I am that we afterward served together at New London and west Point." Now if the declaration of Read is believed to be correct as I trust it will, for there is proof on file of his being a man of high standing for truth, will not the Department feel justified in is suing a certificate for the full pension of a private in the care of Mrs Anna Johnson of N. H. deceased. Very respectfully John Bryant.

I herewith enclose a letter addressed addressed to the Commissioner of Pensions which has been handed me by William Johnson one of the children of Anna Johnson a N. H. claimant for a pension under the act of the 7th July 1838 decd. together with the affidavit of Elnathan Grant in relation to the service of Abner Johnson and said claim which has so long been pending for the lack of additional proof of the said Johnson's services at White Plains and Horse Neck, and I am again as agent under the unpleasant necessity of asking your attention to said care, having intimated to Mr Johnson an opinion, that if the Department believe that the witnesses Read & Grant are men of truth, and consequently believe that the said Abner Johnson did actually serve for the space of three months with them at White Plains, and three months at Horse Neck in Col. Enos Regiment on for the space of three months at either of said places in any capacity the certificate will be issued for the full pension of a private without delay. And I would most respectfully invite the inquiry on a further consideration of this claim.  Did said Read & Grant serve at said places themselves under Col Enos for the space of three months at each of said places in 1778 and what is their character for truth & especially that of Read?  A certificate on file may aid in the conclusion. Grant as I perceive states that he served three months at each of said places under Capt Bissell, for which he has been perceived being the only

services that he performed during the war.

Sir
Your letters of March 19 1847 and May 13 1847 to our Agent John Bryant Esq. of Meriden N. H. in reference to the pending claim of Anna Johnson of N. H. deceased, by that gentleman have been shown me and I now address you as one of the children of said deceased, respectfully, to say that I suspect the Department have underrated the testimony of Samuel Reed as contain's in his deposition made on the 19th of December 1846 having read or quoted an extract therefrom as is shown by your said letter of May 13, 1847 wherein you observe that this witness in his original affidavit states clearly and distinctly that Abner Johnson and himself "were engaged as many as four times together in said war - the first of which was for three months in the summer of 1776 at White Plains under one Captain Elijah Robinson" whereas if the whole of said affidavit had been read I am satisfied that said Reed's testimony would have been differently regarded. For as my recollection and belief is that the further on in the same affidavit said, "I am not certain that the said Johnson was always under the command of the same Captain that I was but I know that he was always of the same Regiment of myself and I can and do confidently say that he said Abner Johnson with whom I was acquainted from his childhood did render actual service in the several tours as above stated and for the length of time as above stated in the years 1778 and 1779 to wit,

I Elnathan Grant of Holland in the county of Holland and state of Connecticut a Connecticut soldier of the army of the Revolution and a pensioner of the United States aged upwards of 86 years do upon my oath testify and say that the service I rendered the country for which I claimed and was allowed the pension of which I am now in the receipt was on three months tour at White Plains West Point and (illegible) under Captain Ogiers Bissill of Col Enos Regiment of Connecticut militia in 1778 and another three months tour afterwards rendered under the same command  at Horse Neck, that I am acquainted with Samuel Reed a pensioner of said Holland who together with Abner Johnson then of said Holland. I am well satisfied served out the same time and places and in the same Regt. with me throughout in the same company. The said Reed in my belief is belonged to a Captain Robinson company but to what company the said Johnson belonged I have not the means of stating and although neither of them belonged to the same company that I did yet I feel well assured from frequent conversations that I have had with the said Reed and others on the subject that they were both engaged in service at the same time and in the same Regt. with me but wither for themselves or as substitutes for others is unknown to me and further this deponent sayth not.

I Samuel Reed of Tolland in the County of Holland and State of Connecticut a Connecticut Soldier of the Revolution and a pensioner of the United States aged upwards of 86 years depose and say that some time in the month of December last I gave an affidavit before Salmon A. Starrs Esq. of said Holland in relation to the Revolutionary service of Abner Johnson formerly a resident of said Tolland and who after the war married Anna Delano, wherein I stated that the said Johnson and myself were engaged together in as many as four tours of service, the first of which at White Plains in 1778 for three months. The second for three months at Horse Neck during both of which tours I was under the command of Captain Elijah Robinson of Col. Enos' Regiment, and as I am now apprehensive that the said affidavit might not have been correctly expressed I make this renewed one in order to a correction of the same and to say that I did not before state or mean to be understood that the said Abner Johnson always served in the same Company with me or that he served with me in said Captain Robinsons during the two tours above named, but I did state or meant to state that to my knowledge he served as a private in the same Regiment with me at each of said places. And I do now repeat what I before meant to state, to wit, that the said Abner Johnson did render actual service as a private in the same Regiment with me for the space of three months at said White Plains and subsequently for the space of three months at Horse Neck. In this I cannot be mistaken, for I had been acquainted with him as it were from his childhood and I there frequently, if not daily saw him while so engaged in service during said tour. Of this I am as confident as that we afterwards served together at

Increase of Pension
State of New Hampshire Sullivan SS
On this 12th day of January 1847, before Elias F. Smith a Justice of the Peace within and for the County of Sullivan and State of New Hampshire personally appeared William Johnson a resident of Grantland in said County aged 47 years who first being duly sworn according to law doth on his oath in the rights of his late mother Mrs. Anna Johnson make the following declaration in order to an increase of the pension to which his mother the said Anna was entitled under the Act of the 7th July 1838 for the service of her late husband Abner Johnson, and whose claim was admitted under said Act, on the 31st day of December 1844 for therate of fifty seven dollars and thirty three cents per annum and made payable to Abner Johnson, Converse Johnson, Sylvanus Johnson, Anna Fisher, Betsey Currey & William Johnson, her children. That he is one of said children and that he is not satisfied with the annual amount of said pension as allowed on the settlement of the claim, believing as he does that his father, the said Abner Johnson, was engaged in as many as seven campaigns in the War of the Revolution, for he frequently so stated in his life time, and to the amount of between two and three years services. That an allowance has been made as he understands for but two of his seven tours of service. To wit, a six months tour at West Point in 1780, for which an allowance of 5 months and 10 days was made, and another tour of 12 months at Horse Neck in 1782. For three of his other five tours of service this declarant for himself and in behalf of the other children claim as he thinks he may wish much confidence the same now being proved by the testimony of Samuel Read whose character for truth
Page 39

is shown to the good and Timothy Carpenter, persons who were engaged in the same service with said Abner Johnson by two tours of three months each, the first of which was performed at White Plains in 1778 and the next immediately following at Horse Neck, to which the said Samuel Read who knew him well and was an actor with him testified positively both under the command of one Capt. Elijah Robinson. And another tour of two months at New London in 1779 under a Capt. Wood as the said Samuel Reed and Timothy Carpenter, credible witnesses both assert upon oath and which this declarant fully believes for that and the further reason, that he feels confident of having heard his father name the above as among the places whereat he served and he also recollects to have heard him speak of individuals who were engaged in service with him, and of the number was Samuel Reed and Timothy Carpenter and so believing that is that his father the said Abner Johnson did under actual service at least eight months as above stated and as now proved over and above what was allowed in the sight of his mother, he prays a further consideration of the claim and that the said pension may be increased from fifty seven dollars and thirty three cents to eighty dollars been annexed, on the return of the certificate issued as aforesaid whereupon he further declares that nothing has been received by himself or either of the other children named in said original certificate.

I Samuel Reed of Tolland in the County of Tolland and State of Connecticut depose and say that I am upwards of eighty-six years of age and am one of the surviving soldiers from Connecticut of the War of the revolution, & a pensioner of the United States, and am yet of strong mind and memory as respects persons and transactions connected with the service of the country, wherein I was several times engaged. I now have ion mind many individuals, and one in particular Abner Johnson who was a resident of this Town and who after the close of the war, married Anne Delano, and removed as I now think to Grantham in the Sate of New Hampshire. The said Abner Johnson as was always understood rendered considerable service in said War. We were engaged as many as four times together in said War. The first of which was for three in the summer of 1778 at White Plains under one Capt.Elijah Robinson, and a second tour of three months at Horse Neck immediately following, under the same command, being of Col. Enos Regiment.
The next and third tour that we performed together was for two months in the fall of 1779 at New London, under a Capt. Wood, whose Christian name as I now think was either John or Andrew, am not confident which.
the fourth and last tour that the said Johnson and myself were engaged in was for six months at and near West Point in 1780 at which time I was under the command of Capt. Shipmen. I am not certain that the said Johnson was always under the command of the same Captains that I was, but I know he was always of the same Regiment of myself, and I can and do
Page 43

confidently way, that the said Abner Johnson with whom I was acquainted from his childhood, did render actual service in the several tours as above stated, and for the length of time as above stated in the years 1778 and 1779, to wit, two tours of three months each, and one tour of two months. I recollect distinctly the several matters herein before stated, because during the tours mentioned, we were frequently at each others quarters. 
To the question put to me by the magistrate who takes this deposition, "Do you know of any persons living who were engaged with you and the said Abner Johnson in the several tours of service above named by you?" I answer I do not entirely but am of the belief that Timothy Carpenter who formerly lived in this Town, is and there may be others. Samuel Reed

I Timothy Carpenter of Ellington in the County of Tolland and State of Connecticut depose and say that I am now in the eighty three years of my age, that I was formerly a resident of the adjoining town of Tolland where I was well acquainted with Samuel Reed of said Tolland, and have ever since been acquainted with him.  I have seen and heard read the deposition of Samuel Reed by him given on the 18th inst. in reference to several tours of service performed by himself and Abner Johnson, formerly of said Tolland, and the statements therein made by him I fully believe to be true, for the reason that the said Samuel Reed has ever been regarded as an honest and upright man, and for the further reason that during one of the said tours of service I was engated in the same company with him, to wit, the tour of two months at New London, under Capt. Wood who I well recollect was from the neighboring town of Somers.
I am also of the impression and belief that the Abner Johnson spoken of in said Reed's deposition, was also a private in said company with us, although my recollection of him is less distinct than it is of the said Samuel Reed.
I further depose and say, that Samuel Reed aforesaid, is the only survivor so far as I know of those who performed the tour above mentioned, and further the deponent saith not. Timothy Carpenter

Page 54

I Samuel Reed of Tolland, in the county of Tolland, and State of Connecticut, a Connecticut soldier of the Revolution and a pensioner of the United States, now in the eighty fourth year of my age, depose and say that I was in early life well acquainted with Abner Johnson formerly of said Tolland and who married Ann Delano, (with whom I was also acquainted) and removed to Granthan in the State of New Hampshire soon after the close of the Revolutionary War. I knew him from his childhood, as we were brought up in the same neighborhood.  My intimate acquaintance with him continued through the war, wherein we were both engaged as soldiers, and during three tours of service, were actors as privates together under the same command. The first of said tours we commenced on or about the first day of June 1778, for three months, which we served out in the company of Captain Elijah Robinson. The name of our Lieutenant was Nathaniel West. Immediately after the expiration of our said three months, we engaged for and served three months more under Captain Robinson of Col. Enos Connecticut Regiment. The said tours of service were performed at a place called Horse Neck near New York, at White Plains and at west Point.
The next year, that is in the fall of 1779, we were again called out and performed together a third tour of service at New London for the full space of two months under the command of Captain John Wood. In the
Page 55

year 1780, and as I now think in the month of May of that year, we were again called out on voluntarily engaged, for the term of six months, and served accordingly mainly in the State of New Jersey.  I was myself under the command of Captain Shipman during said time and although I cannot assert confidently, that the said Johnson belonged to the same company with me, yet I can state confidently that he was there engaged the said six months in the same regiment of myself, but the company in which he was engaged I do not now recollect. I well recollect many incidents that occurred during said period of six months, one of which was, the execution of Major Andre, which we both witnessed and one other, the burial of Luther Delano one of our fellow soldiers and townsmen at which we were both also present, making in all a service of fourteen months that I know the said Abner Johnson rendered the country as a good and faithful soldier.  As to the subsequent service of the said Johnson, I am unable to testify, for the reason that we did not happen to serve together after the expiration of the six months list above stated. 
And I further depose and say that there is not to my knowledge, as single surviving individual of those who were engaged in company with said Johnson and myself, having said fourteen months or any part thereof - and further the deponent saith not. Samuel Reed

Town Clerk's Office Tolland Connecticut Dec. 14 1843
I Oliver R. Isham Town Clerk of said Tolland do certify that upon application at this office for documentary evidence of the revolutionary services of Abner Johnson subsequent to the year 1780 I have made search of the records and papers on file in this office and find what I regard as evidence of one years service of the said Johnson who I am satisfied was for nearby a resident of this town but who remained to and died in Grantham New Hampshire.
From the record of notes of said town subsequent to the year 1780 copies of which will be given below to appears that in the year 1781 & 1782 committees were appointed to hire five men in such of said years to enlist and serve for the term on one year at Horse Neck State of New York. And that from a paper on file in this office purporting to be a pay roll or "A return from the town of Tolland". It further appears that five men in each of said years were accordingly hired and did so enlist and serve and that they consequently became entitled to and were subsequently paid a bounty of £12 each and that the said Abner Johnson was one of the five who was so engaged for one year commensing in 1782. The note of said town in 1781 is in the following sources (to wit) 
"At a legal town meeting held in Tolland on the 9th day of February 1781 Col. Solomon Willes Moderator Col. Solomon Willes Hope Lathrope Capt Elijah Chapman Capt Benjamin Norris & Samuel Laurel was chosen a committee to enlist five men and join a Regiment to go to Horse Neck to serve one year." 
the note of said town on the 25 day of February 1782 is as follows:
"Voted to raise five men for the service to Horse Neck by a rate on the town at large. Voted to choose a committee to hire the men. Mr. Simon Chapman Col Solomon Willis Mr. John Steel, Mr. Medad Hunts and Capt. J. HImoteley
Page 66

chosen for that purpose. The paper purporting to be "A return of and the town of Tolland" is as follows:
"In the year 1781 £12 Bounty given by the town for five men to go to Horse Neck the names as follows (viz) Supposed to be in a Regt. Commanded by Col. Canfield
