State of New Jersey
Monmouth County

On the Eighteenth day of September One thousand eight hundred and forty one personally appeared before the Subscriber one of the Judges of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas in and for Said County Rachel Thompson a resident of Allentown in the tounship [township] of Upper Freehold in the County and State aforesaid, aged eighty four years on the Sixth day of January last past 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 and the Act explanitory of said Act passed March 3rd. 1837.  That she was married to Ephraim Foster who was an Artificer in the Pennsylvania line in the Service of the United States during the Revolutionary war.  That after this applicant’s marriage in September 1775 her said husband Ephraim Foster started from Allentown, in company with Nathaniel Foster an elder brother, both being blacksmiths and went to Philadelphia and there enlisted as artificers.  This declarant’s husband the said Ephraim Foster returned home, had a vendue, and moved from Allentown where we were keeping house, to Philadelphia in the month of March 1777.  Nathaniel Foster went to Carlisle where part of the army lay, and worked at repairing arms.

Page 4

There Ephraim Foster this applicant's husband was stationed in the City of Philadelphia.  This applicant well recollects that her husband either received or was to receive twenty dollars per month.  The Officers under whom he served or worked as an artificer in repairing arms She well recollects was Capt. Pancoast & Lieut. Bucannon under the command of General Wayne of the 5th Penn Reg!  This Applicant believes that her husband enlisted first for one year.  Capt. Pancoast and Lieut. Bucannon had their quarters or offices in part of the house in which this applicant lived which was near the Smiths Shop.  This applicant cooked for three messes daily, six men in a mess for which she received pay and drew rations daily.  Five days before the British took possession of the City this applicant returned to Allentown New Jersey.  General Wayne and part of the Army halted or were stationed at a place called Allentown in Pa. when her husband's enlistment for the year expired and he again enlisted for three years as artificer.  He accompanied the army of General Wayne as far as Allentown before the battle of Monmouth, when he came home on furlough on account of ill health produced by the Camp fever.  As soon as he recovered, which was only partial, he again joined the army under Wayne.  He was at Stony Point in July 1779, when it was taken.  Was also at Morristown one winter.  Her said husband continued in the army until his enlistment expired in the year 1781.  The exact time this applicant cannot recollect.  She well recollects that she was at the time pulling flax, and that he turned in and assisted being the first work he done at his return.  He served under

Page 5

General Wayne as an artificer [officer] four years.  he had a discharge but it has been lost or destroyed many years.  She further declares that she was married to the decd Ephraim Foster on the twenty fourth day of December Seventeen hundred and seventy five by the Rev. M. Schenck of Allentown who has been dead many years and has left no record of marriage.  She refers to a license procured by her said husband before marriage here unto attached.  That her maiden name was Rachel Stockham, that she had five children by said Ephraim Foster, one child was born in Allentown before her said husband enlisted.  That her husband the aforesaid Ephraim Foster died on the first day of January Seventeen hundred & ninety two.  refers to letter of Administration granted by his Excellency William Paterson Esquire to this applicant as administratrix of her said husbands estate on the tenth day of Jan 1792, which has been in her possession ever since.  That she was afterwards married to Robert Thompson who died on the tenth day of April Eighteen hundred and Seventeen and that she was a widow 4th July 1836, and still remains a widow as will more fully appear by the reference to the proof hereto annexed.
