Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the third section of the Act of Congress of the 4 th July 1836
State of Connecticut } ss Court of Probate within & Litchfield County } for the District of Litchfield
On this 26 th day of September 1836, personally appeared before said Court Sarah Mickvine a resident of Warren in s d County aged 76 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 4 th 1836 That she is the widow of James Mickvine late of Warren in said County dec d who in the year 1776 enlisted into the Connecticut line of the Continental Army into the Company commanded by Capt Tittle in Col Charles Webb's Regiment & served accordingly but how long he served I cannot state but refer to the record & documentary evidence of it in the War Department, He received a Pension for said service under the act of March 18 th 1818 of eight dollars per month, as having served as a private soldier in s d Company, but was dropped from the pension roll under the Act of 1 st May 1820, His Pension certificate was numbered I believe 11.993
After we were married he served as a Private Soldier in the Military Service of the United States as follows, according to the best of my knowledge & belief, viz, In the summer of the year 1780 he was drafted or enlisted (he then residing in Litchfield Conn) into the Regiment commanded by Lieut Col. Beebe of said Litchfield for the period of two months & left Litchfield & served during that summer in said Regiment in & near Greenwich & Horse neck Conn for the full period of two months, I cannot state in what Company he served nor the particulars of his service, except that inveni-

diately after his return I heard him tell that a cousin of mine (who was in the service with him) whose name was Enos Barnes was killed in a skirmish with the British in which both were engaged, that he heard said Barnes say "he was mortal wounded" & that he ran a short distance & dropped & died. To prove this service I rely on my own statement & the accompanying depositions of Abigail Barnes a sister of the said Barnes who was killed, & of William Bube
After the above service & in the summer of the year 1781 as I believe tho' it might have been in 1782 my said husband still resided in Litchfield & was again drafted or enlisted (I know not,) to go the sea shore at Stratford Conn. for a period of two months to guard the coast in that vicinity. He accordingly went & served I think in Capt. Gillette's Company for said period of two months & then returned to Litchfield. For proof of this I rely on the testimony of Samuel Blackman of Litchfield.
I cannot state the precise times when my husband entered or left the service, nor the names of the field or Company officers, with any more particularity than I have done above. (During the service above specified my husband served as a Private Soldier.)
I further declare that I was married to the said James Wickwire in the year seventeen hundred & seventy nine & on the 25 th day of August by the Rev. Ebenezer Beckwith; that my husband the above said James Wickwire died on the 4 th Sept 1822; & that I have remained a widow ever since that period as will more fully appear by reference to the proof hereto annexed.

In submitting application for membership to the Hendrick Hudson Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, I made mention of the fact that my great-great-grandfather, Mr James Ricketwire was a pensioner under the Act of

March 18, 1818, which accorded pensions to veterans who had served in the Revolutionary War.
I have been asked by the Society to procure a statement from the Federal Bureau of Pensions in confirmation of the above before I can become a member. And if consistent would you kindly favor me with statement desired.
To assist in locating the record I might add that Mrs. Sarah Stickwire wife of James Stickwire, was also a pensioner, subsequent to her husband's death, and her name appears on the pension roll of 1840.
Trusting you will give this matter your prompt attention, I am,
Yours truly,
(Mrs.) Adelaide Stickwire Martin.
