Johnson, who served faithfully a period of time for my husband but how long a time and at what particular places, i am now unable to say.

I may be inaccurate as to the particular times of service rendered by my husband, but I recollect distinctly that he was in the service of his country both before and after his marriage with me, and I believe, as I have detailed above.

The said Peninah Goodell further declares that she was married to the said Jabez Goodell on the 29 day of April in the year 1778; that her husband the aforesaid Jabez Goodell died on the ninth day of August in the year 1812; and that she has remained a widow ever since that period, as will more fully appear by reference to the proof hereto annexed.

and without any expectation on his part of a pension.
Mr. Goodell was a man of strict integrity. He died many years since, the number I cannot state, and Mrs. Peninah Goodell has ever since remained a widow. She is a woman of strict veracity, and her statements are entitled to full credit.

I Brainderd Lindsley of Plymouth in the county of Litchfield & state of Connecticut, being of the age of seventy six years, depose & say, that Jabez Goodell who formerly resided in the parish of Farmingbury in the town of Southington (now Wolcott) was my half brother, being the son of my own mother, & that he was a soldier with me in the war of the Revolution. 
He was in the United States service a considerable part of three years previous to his marriage to Peninah Byington in the Spring of 1778, at which marriage I was present. He was a soldier int he same company with me in the year 1777. We went together that year to Kingsbridge, Harlem & Westchester under Capt Peter Curtis, in Col. Roger Enos Regiment. We were out together then as much as six or eight months.
We were also out together several tours in the militia after he was married. We went together to the White Plains & saw a guard house that had been taken by the British. We were out together after his marriage a part of two or three years. I think at one time we were under a Capt Amos Beecher & at another under Capt Nathaniel Lewis.
And further the deponent saith not.

State of Connecticut Ss Litchfield County Plymouth August 9th 1837
