State of Connecticut } County of Fairfield } ss
On this fourth day of February 1837 personally appeared before the Court of Probate for the District of Weston in said Fairfield County Sarah Tradiwell a Resident of said Weston aged taking fifteen years eighty three 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 Daniel Tradiwell late of said Weston now De d who was a Soldier in the Revolutionary War. That he enlisted as a private in the Connecticut State Troops, in the Company commanded by Elijah Abel Capt. in Col. Brimley's Reg t in the Spring of the year 1776 and marched to the City of New York to join the Continental Army and was in Fort Washington when it was taken by the British in the fall of that same year & was taken prisoner at that time. The period of his service at New York I am unable to state with accuracy though I have frequently heard him state the term of his enlistment. He was in Service & in captivity about nine months as will appear from the Dispositions here annexed. The term of his service was performed previous to our marriage & although I have frequently heard him relate the term of this service, & his sufferings yet I cannot state with accuracy.
Declarant further says that after her intermarriage with her De d Husband Daniel Tradiwell he was called on duty by drafts and otherwise a number of times during the Revolutionary War & although she is unable to state with perfect accuracy the times yet she thinks she can state the facts sufficiently.

so, so as to satisfy the War department of the services having been actually rendered & that to by actual authority
He at that time belonged to one of the Militia companies in the Parish of Northfield then a part of the Town of Fairfield, now Winton, & served under different Officers. I well remember of his being called upon to go to perform a tour of duty to Fairfield & Sauvage when it was burnt & other times not now distinctly recollected. I also recollect of his having been drafted on a tour of duty to Fairfield to guard the coast. I should think in the years of 1780 or 1781 in the spring of the year, but the term of that last named service I cannot distinctly recollect but should think one month or more. This last named service as near as I can recollect was performed under the command of Capt. Joseph Bennett of said Fairfield
She further say that her De d Husband Dan d Leadwell was a Revolutionary Pensioner. She thinks under the act of Congress of 1818 if not under that act it must have been a previous act & in 1818 his pension was raised to Ninety Six dollars a year for services rendered & injuries received in the Revolutionary War while in his country's service, which was proved to the satisfaction of the War department & a certificate of that amount was sent him in his life-time as by the Records of the War department will appear
She further says that she has no documentary evidence & all the living evidence she can obtain is hereto annexed a part of which

is circumstantial but the Disposition of Joseph Sulby to the last named services is positive
She further declares & says that she was married to the said Du d Daniel Treadwell on the 14 th day of January 1779 by the Rev d James Johnson then a Minister of the Gospel in the Presbyterian Society in the Parish of Northfield in said Town of Weston (who has long since deceased) which was previous to part of his services being rendered - That her husband the aforesaid Daniel Treadwell died at said Weston on the 15 th day of April 1822 & that she has remained a Widow ever since his death & is now a Widow as will more fully appear by reference to the proof hints annexed
