Jane Vose, aged Seventy six years, a resident in said Boston, 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 th 1836.
That she is the Widow of Amariah Vose late of said Boston Esq.; and That said Amariah Vose, her late husband was a Sergeant in the War of the Revolution, and was wounded in his ankles, in an engagement with the British, during the continuance of said War. For which wounds and the consequent disability, he the said Amariah received an Invalid Pension from the United States of Sixty Dollars per Ann. under the act 7 th June 1845, but the same was increased to Ninety Six, under the act of 24 th April 1846.
She further declares that she was married to the said Amariah Vose in the month of December of the year Seventeen Hundred & Eighty one, at the House of Mr White, Minister, Nassau Street (now Tremont) in this City of Boston.
She further declares that said Amariah, her late husband, was an Invalid Soldier when she married him, stationed in Boston and vicinity, and in the Spring of the year 1842, she journeyed with him to Fishkill Hospital, in the State of New York, and in the month of December of that year said Amariah received from the hand of Colonel Lewis Nichols, of the

an honorable Discharge from the service of Invalides. Captain Moses McFarland & Lieut. -enant Osgood Carleton was at Firkills Hospital at the same time.
She further declares that the aforesaid Amariah Vose her late husband died on the Fifteenth Day of December in the year 1831 and that she has remained a widow ever since that period, as will more fully appear on reference to the proof herunto annexed. That she has no record evidence of her marriage with the said Amariah Vose, altho she has sought diligently such evidence from the City records, and also in the parish Books of the successors of the before mentioned Mr White, she has found none, and the only record having an allusion to the above subject is contained in her Family Bible, and in his induction with the birth of her children by said Amariah. The first is of the birth of Polly Vose (now Polly Eddy) born at Firkills in the state of New York, on the Seventeenth Day of June Seventeen Hundred and Eighty two Betsy Vose born April 10 th 1744 William Vose, born November 30 th 1747. &c.

I Polly Eady of Smithfield in the County of Providence and State of Rhode Island do on oath testify and say that I am in the Fifty sixth year of my age, and that I always understood and believed that I was born on the Seventeenth day of June in the year Seventeen hundred and Eighty two, at Fishkill in The State of New York, while my late Father was waiting for his discharge from the service of The United States, being an Invalid. Of this fact I have not a doubt. My late Fathers name was Amariah Vore, of this City of Boston and untill his death he drew an Invalid Pension from The United States, and departed this life in this City of Boston in the month of December in the year Eighteen hundred and Thirty one. My Mother, Jane Vore, the widow of said Amariah is still living and has not married since the decease of my late Father said Amariah and is now present before Judge Thacher who has taken her application which is annexed. I further say, that the Family Bible which has been produced at this time and referred to in the application of my mother, Mrs Jane Vore, has been considered always by me, & kept in our family as the only record of the births of the children of my late Father Amariah Vore aforesaid & I believe the same to be true. Sworn to & subscribed on the day & year first mentioned before me (10 Sept. 1896) before me Peter O. Thacher Judge Polly Eady
I Thankful Kline of Boston in the County of Suffolk and Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Being sworn as on Oath testify & say that I am in the Sixty second year of my age and that I was formerly well acquainted with Amariah Vore and Jane his wife both of said Boston; The said Amariah and Jane were Married in said Boston before the termination of the Revolutionary War. I attended at the wedding supper, the same time, I cannot remember the particular year but know that it was before said Amariah was discharged from the service of the United States. Said Amariah and his wife Jane journeyed together to the state of New York

for the purpose of his receiving his discharge from service, being an Invalid, and that during their absence the within named Polly Eddy was born. of this fact I have not a doubt.
I have always been intimately acquainted with Amariah Vose and Jane his wife and their family and know them to be respectable people.
Said Amariah Vose died over five years since next December and that Jane his widow has not since married. I have known of her fifteen to twenty years past the Bible which has been produced at this time before Judge Thacher and which contains the dates of the births of the several children of said Amariah Vose by Jane his said wife. I believe it to be the only record of the said Family and to contain the truth.

Dr. Peter Thacher of Boston, many years since, & was at that time known personally to this Judge and sustained a fair character for truth and honesty — and he gives full faith and credit to the truth & correctness of the foregoing application.

Sir
Your letter of the 6 th Instant relating to the case of Jane Vose, widow of Amariah Vose Sec d , is received.
When her application papers were prepared, claiming for her the benefit of the Act of July 4 th 1836. It was believed that ample testimony of all the service performed by said Amariah, the names of his officers, together with his Discharge, were on file in the pension Office, which papers and Documents were forwarded as proof in support of his claim to an Invalid pension, under the Act of June 7 th 1745. But I learn with regret that all such evidence has been destroyed by fire. This occurrence is much to be regretted, as it is extremely uncertain whether any record evidence can now be found, shewing the contingency of the service of the said Amariah untill his Discharge from the Army in December in 1742. The Certificate of Mr Secretary Bigelow, is herewith enclosed, "shewing the period length & "grade of the service" of said Amariah" and also of his officers" brought down to 31 st of December, of the year 1740, beyond which time the Army Books on file in the Secretaries office, do not extend —
I transmit herewith the papers and Documents in support of the claim to a pension by Hannah Mann Mann, widow of Benjamin Mann, Sec d , & Hepsibah Hayward, widow of Simeon Hayward Sec d , claiming both of Randolph, Norfolk County, Mass ts , claiming for them pensions under the 3 d Section of the Act of Congress 4 th of July 1836. It is presumed that the Mass ts Militia Rolls, now in possession of the Dept t , will fully corroborate their declarations.
Should the above mentioned claims be considered admissible, you will please issue Certificate in satisfaction thereof, and forward same directed to me at this place. Very Respectfully I am your obed t servant Hon. Comm ee of Pensions } Reuben Baldwin Washington
