Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the 3 d Section of the Act of Congress of July 4, 1836 State of Maine } So. On this twentysecond day of March in the County of Somerset } year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirtyseven personally appeared in open Court, before the Supreme Judicial Court, held at Norridgewock within and for the county of Somerset, by Hon d Nathan Weston Chief Justice of said court Bathsheba Waugh of Starks in said county aged Eighty five years a person well known and worthy of credit, an intelligent person of unimpeachable veracity, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on her oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed July 4, 1836. That she was born at Oxford in the county of Worcester in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on the thirtieth day of October A.D. 1751, that she presumes that there is a record of her birth in said town; that her maiden name was Bathsheba Fairfield that she removed from Oxford with her father Daniel Fairfield to Vassalborough on the Kennebec river in 1771; that she was lawfully married on the fourth day of October 1771, at Winston in the then county of Lincoln, now county of Kennebec by Ezekiel Pettis Esq d , a Justice of the Peace to James Waugh Esq d . (late of said Starks deceased) who was born in Townsend in the county of Middlesex in Massachusetts on the eighth day of June 1748, in which town she presumes there is a record of her birth: That her said husband kept a family record in his bible a copy whereof is hereto annexed. That immediately after her marriage she removed with her said husband to a place near the mouth of Sandy river, then called Norridgewock (now in said Starks) where she has resided ever since except being absent a few months during the alarm and from fear of the Indians in the time of the war: That she was then residing with her said husband at their farm at what was then called Norridgewock being the uppermost house on Sandy river, in the spring of the year 1776 with an infant son, the first son of English parents born in Norridgewock when one Dea n Chase and Mr. Pasher two men

who lived in the vicinity being out on a hunting excursion were taken prisoners by the Indians and carried to Canada; That the frontier settlers thereupon became much alarmed; That Col. Howard of Hallowell of the Massachusetts Militia, being apprised of their exposed situation directed the settlers in Norridgewock to enlist themselves as a guard under the command of the said husband and to erect a block house for the protection of the inhabitants; That her said husband had the fall before turned out with his oxen several days to assist General Arnold in hauling his batteries and baggage by the falls on his march to Canada; That early in the spring of 1776 her said husband engaged in the service of the United States under the direction of Col. Howard and was employed till late in the fall; That he caused a block house to be built near the dwelling house of William Ditchie about one mile above Norridgewock village and enclosed both with pickets or posts set in the ground; and that he kept a guard stationed or scouting near the mouth of Sandy river and up the Kennebec during the summer. That she suffered much from fear and anxiety at the opening of that spring, but was at first quieted by being assured that the Indians would not venture to come among the settlers till the leaves got out on the trees; That spring was forward and "she used to watch the leaves, and it seemed that she could see them grow," when the leaves were fully out she could no longer consent to remain in that exposed situation. Five miles from where they were building the block house, that her husband then removed her and her infant son down the river about twenty miles to the settlement near Fort Halifax where she remained till the alarm subsided in the fall and then returned to Norridgewock, with several other women & children who had fled for safety; That in the spring of 1777 the women and children of the remote settlers were again ordered to retreat down the river; and she went again having at this time two children and remained till the fall of 1777; That her said husband was actively engaged on guard and in scouts and as a

commander of the guard under the direction of Col d Howard during the whole summer and until December 1777 when the alarm in some measure subsided, and the term of their enlistment having expired, the guards & men were dismissed and she again returned to their log cabin with her two children. That she verily believes that her said husband served in the whole at least twelve months under the direction of Col d Howard; part of the time by a special Resolve of the Legislature of Massachusetts, which is referred to in the copy of a warrant from Col d Howard which is hereto annexed. That her said husband died at Stocks on the seventeenth day of January A d 1826. That she has no documentary evidence of her said husbands service except a copy of a Sergeants warrant, copy of existing orders & pay roll the originals having been lent by her to Luke Sawyer and sent to the war Dept t about four years ago to support his claim to a pension, and have not been returned; the copies which she preserved are as follows.

And she also has found among the papers of the said her husband a part of his journal kept by him while in the service of the State as aforesaid in his own hand writing which is here annexed. She also refers to the original papers supposed to be now in the office of the War Department, Revolutionary claim N o 18.290 "Luke Sawyer admitted under the act of June 7. 1832" Also to the original declaration of John Clark late of Maine etc. late a pensioner under the act aforesaid; who was a private in the service under her said husband in the summer of 1776.
She further declares, that she was married to the said James Waugh on the said fourth day of October in the year Seventeen hundred and seventy four at Winslow by Esq. Potts a Justice of the Peace, as will appear by the annexed copy of the record of said town of Winslow

except an error of one day in the date; she also refers to the copy of their family record hereto annexed: That her said husband James Waugh Esq d died at said Starks on the seventeenth day of January in the year Eighteen hundred and twenty six; that she has remained a widow and unmarried ever since that period; all which will fully appear by reference to the proof hereto annexed. She therefore claims a pension for twelve months service and is confident that no one suffered more from anxiety and alarm during the Revolutionary War than she did and truly believes that but few soldiers of the Revolution rendered more patriotic services during the war than her late husband did. She also refers to the annexed sheet of their family record in the hand writing of her said husband.

I John Waugh depose and say that by the record which was kept by my father James Waugh late of Starks in the county of Somerset Esquire deceased it appears that I was born March 11. 1777 at a place then called Vernalgowack; and I further depose on oath and say that I have often heard my father in his life time tell of the services which he performed as commander of an ad-hoc guard and in overseeing the routine of a block house in Vernalgowack in the year 1776 that he was compelled to carry my mother Bathsheba Waugh and my oldest brother James Waugh Jr Esq now deceased down the river to the older settlements that year for protection while he was employed as scouts and as guard against the Indians; and that he also carried my mother and myself and brother down the river to his friends where we remained during the summer of 1777 while he was employed on guards & scouts; and I further depose that this will find these papers within the within water or journals thereon which I know to be in my father's hand writing among a large quantity of waste or refuse papers and also the Pay roll hereunto attached marked A and subscribed with my own name "John Waugh". I further depose that I have always understood from all the old settlers in Vernalgowack that my said father did more than any other person to guard and protect the settlers and that he served for a longer period each year than any other one; that my father James Waugh died on the 17 day of January 1826 and that my mother Bathsheba Waugh his widow now lives with me and has never been married since the decease of my father.

William Howard L t Col t

State of Maine } Is. Be it known that before me William Allen Jr county of Somerset } a Justice of the Peace in and for the county of Somerset aforesaid personally appeared Thomas Heald a great seventy three years a Revolutionary Pensioner of the United States, a person by me well known as a credible witness and made oath in due form of law, that in the summer of 1776 he lived with his father near Fort Halifax in Winthrop on the Kennebec river; that he went with his father to Norridgewock the latter part of the summer to clear land and prepare for building mills near the village in  the  Norridgewock and remained there till some time in the fall that he was then well acquainted with James Waugh, who then lived six miles above this village, being the frontier settler on the Sandy river; I know that said Waugh was considered the principal settler in Norridgewock and that he had the general care and oversight of the place; that by order of Col. Howard of the Massachusetts militia he caused a block house to be built near this village and enclosed the same with pickets to protect the settlers against the Indians; that all the settlers who lived within two or three miles went to the block house for the dwelling house of William Fletcher to lodge every night; during the time I remained at Norridgewock that season; I went then myself with our work men for that purpose every night being some over a mile from where we built mills which were called Heald's mills. I at the same time had an older brother John Heald who had settled at the mouth of Sandy river near said Waugh's and that by direction of Col. Howard, said Waugh and my brother John and some others were employed as an advanced guard or scout while the others were at work on the block house or pickets during the latter part of the summer and fall of 1776 and also the most of the summer and fall of 1777 I was at work on the mills at the time both seasons I verily believe that said James Waugh was employed in the service of the United States in the above manner more than any other man and for a longer period - And I have no doubt that he served faithfully more than eight months; He was a very intelligent patriotic man, was chosen Captain of the militia of Norridgewock was the Town Clerk and first Selectman of Starks from the time the town was incorporated a great number of years till old age rendered him unable to attend to public business. I know that he was married at the time the above block house was built in 1776 and I know that several persons carried their wives and children down the river to the old settlements for places of safety during the alarm and I understood that he carried his wife away for that purpose. I have been well acquainted with Mrs. Bathsheba Waugh who was then his wife and who is now living, his widow; and that she has never intermarried with any other person since the death of her said husband; she is a woman of truth. I have lived fifty years on the same lot on which the block house was I have lived and attended the public worship of the Gospel on the same lot on which the block house was Somerset Sept 11th 1836 Sumner & subscribed before me William Allen Jr. Just. Peace

State of Maine County of Somerset ss. Be it remembered That on this thirteenth day of September A.D. 1836 before me William Allen Jr. a Justice of the Peace in & for said county personally appeared Luke Sawyer of Starks in said county of Somerset a Revolutionary Pensioner of the United States aged seventy seven years, a person by me well known and worthy of credit, and made oath in due form of law that he removed to Norridgewock with his father in 1774 that this frontier settlement was much alarmed during the year 1774  that season in consequence of the failure of Arnold's expedition the winter before, against Quebec. That two men were taken prisoners who lived in the vicinity and carried to Canada that year by the French and Indians who were in the British interest; the whole settlement were requested by the Government of Massachusetts to do what they could to protect themselves; and a party was organized and built a Block house in Norridgewock of which I was one, under the command of William Fletcher; I know that James Waugh late of said Starks died lived in what was then called Norridgewock, but by running the line afterwards his farm fell in said Starks (being the uppermost family on Sandy river about five miles from where we built our fortification) I know that said Waugh who was then considered the principal man in Norridgewock was married that, he being removed from the block house, for fear of being molested by the Indians, carried his wife Bathsheba Waugh who is now his widow, down the river to the Sebasticook settlement for protection; and have good reason to believe that he was employed as guard against the Indians four months or more during that season and whilst our party were building the block house and in the commencement of 1777 and I know positively that he was appointed a Sergeant Aug 2. 1777 and served on a scouting party and on guard up the Kennebec till the first day of Dec 1777 - I know that he died in Starks about the same time - I know that his widow Bathsheba Waugh eight years ago; and that his widow Bathsheba Waugh is still living a neighbor to me and has not been married since the death of her said husband - Sworn & subscribed this thirteenth day of September 1836 before me William Allen Jr. Justice of the Peace Luke Sawyer
