Haberborough, ss. At a Court of Probate held at Sanbornton within and for said County, on the Sixth day of May Anno Domini, 1834. Before EDMUND PARKER , Esq. Judge of Probate. Personally appears in open Court, before the said Court now in session Shaddens Wilson a resident of the Town of Deerfield in said county, aged Sixty nine years,
Who being duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress, passed June 7th, 1832. That he entered the service of the United States, under the following named officers, and served as herein stated. That is to say, that in the month of April in the year 1782, but I am unable to remember the day, at Wottenhamwest , in the County of Warren and State of New Hampshire , now called Hanover , I enlisted in the service of the United States & served eight months as a teamster. I was enlisted by one Thomas Pollard , who came to me while I was ploughing, and I sat on my plough and signed the enlistment. I went with Pollard to Boston , and then took a team, and was under the command of Solomon Kimball , who was captain or wagon conductor. I drove my team to Burlington New Jersey, where I joined the Army, and was engaged in moving what was called the Park to West Point . afterwards was engaged in drawing wood for the use of the Army at the Point. - I served until the month of November 1782 when I was discharged. I think at Fairfield , or New Fairfield , and the teams were there sold. - I always supposed I served over seven months, but those with me think it only seven. - Mr Lot Spaulding now of Albany enlisted soon after I did, and was with me during most of the time I served - Some part of the time I was under a Mr Amos Gage , but considered Kimball my commander or chief conductor. - Major Shiderman was our Forage Master -
I was born in Albany in the State of New Hampshire in February 1765 as I believe, and moved to Wottenhamwest when I was about seven years of age - After the war I lived in Chapman's , Albany , Wottenhamwest , in Deerfield , in Warren , Haberborough , and Newcastle , Maine, and for the last fourteen years in Deerfield , New Hampshire - The reason I have not sooner applied for a Pension is that I could not get the testimony of James Gould without which I was advised I could

not obtain my Pension - said Gould was in the same mess with me all the time I was in the service - he lives at Sandy River Maine.
We relinquishes every claim, whatever, to a pension or annuity, except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll, of the agency of any State,
