I Margaret Thomas of West Port in the County of Lincoln & State of Maine, widow aged eighty two years, on oath declare that I am well acquain- ted with Nancy Webber widow of Noah Webber late of Georgetown, who has been dead about ten years. Nancy Webber's maiden name was Nancy Quinn and I knew her from a child. I was present at her wedding, and stood by her side when she was married to Noah Webber, by John Stimson Esquire a justice of the peace in the County of Lincoln residing in Georgetown. I know of no person now living who was present at the wedding, except myself & Mrs. Webber. This marriage as near as I can remember, took place in the month of July 1785, or fifty three years ago, in July last. I was married by the same Justice Stimson, five years before Mrs. Webber was. This justice married a great many couple in those days, and certified the marriage on the back of the certificate & handed the same to one of the parties married. Noah Webber & Nancy his wife lived together as husband & wife till his death. I have always lived within a half a mile of them, and knew their chil- dren, some of whom are now living, and the widow Nancy Webber wife of Noah Webber deceased is now living in Georgetown.

I have been acquainted with her about sixty years and since she was about ten years old. Her maiden name was Nancy Quinn. I was also well ac- quainted with Noah Webber her husband, who died in Georgetown about ten years ago. I know from reputation that he was married to Nancy Quinn his wife by John Strason Esq whom I well knew, & who was a magistrate in Georgetown, who has been dead some years. I was not present at their wedding, but lived in the same town, and heard they were married, and knew that they lived together as husband & wife till Noah Webber's death. Their marriage was over fifty years ago. They had quite a number of children some of whom are living and bear their father's name. I have frequently been present at a marriage solemnized by said Strason and seen him marry. I also know that Nancy Webber widow of Noah Webber is now living and that she has never married any other person since Noah Webber's death. I also know that Noah Webber was a Revolutionary pensioner. Nancy Webber's moral character is good.

I Noah Webber of Georgetown in the County of Lincoln, District of Maine, State of Massachusetts, a native citizen of the United States, of fifty five years of age, do upon oath testify and declare that I served as a private soldier in the army of the United States in the war of the Revolution, against the common enemy. I enlisted in the town of Wells, County of York, District of Maine in the month of April A.D. 1781 - for the period of three years. From Wells I marched to Boston, and having stayed there for about three weeks, I joined the army at West-Point in the State of New York, where I quartered every winter until the time of my discharge; and during the summer season was employed in serving on detachments against the enemy as circumstances required. I served this period of three years in the Regiment of Col. Tupper (being the 10th) in the Company commanded by Capt. Thomas Francis, of the Massachusetts Line; and after the disbanding of Col. Tupper's Regiment sometime in the Autumn of '82 (I think), I served in Col. Michael Jackson's Regiment of the Massachusetts Line, the son of whom commanded the Company to which I was attached. I served in this Regiment until the expiration of the period for which I enlisted, when I received an honorable discharge at West Point. I have lost my discharge, and from lapse of time know not what has become of it.
I was on Rhode Island during the operations of the armies there, under the command of Gen. Sullivan & after our retreat I enlisted for three years, as above narrated. I was also engaged with the enemy in March '82 (I think) near Valentine's Hill in the State of New York, under the command of Major Scott of New Hampshire. I hereby release all my right or claim to any pension, which may have been heretofore granted to me the said Webber; and do further testify & declare that from reduced circumstances I am in need of the assistance of my country for support.
