I Isaac Tuttle, of the town, and County of New Haven, in the State of Connecticut, being now in the forty ninth year of my age, do depose and, testify, and say, that according to the family record, which my Father, in his life time kept, I was the third child, of Abner Tuttle, and Elizabeth his wife, and was born on the twentieth day of November A. 1790. I remember to have heard my father, when I was a lad, relate several anecdotes of occurrences, which took place when he was a soldier, in the war of the revolution at several places, other than New Haven. In particular of the battle at Compe Hill, where he was a volunteer, when General Wooster was killed. I have no doubt, but he served more than my Mother in her declaration has alledged, but living witnesses, or documentary evidence to prove all his services, has not yet been obtained. My Father, the aforesaid Abner Tuttle, died at New Haven aforesaid, on the twenty eight day of March A. 1813. My Mother, the aforesaid, Elizabeth Tuttle, has not married again since his death, but now remains his widow. She now resides in the same house, with my family, and has resided with me, from the day of my Father's death until the present time.

I Elijah Bradley of the town of Warren, in the county of Litchfield and State of Connecticut, being now in the seventy-eighth year of my age, testify and say that I was born in the town of New Haven, county of New Haven and State aforesaid, in the month of May, 1762, where I resided until after the close of the American Revolutionary War. That in the month of April 1781, I enlisted into a company of artillery raised by authority of Connecticut, and stationed at New Haven in said State, which company was commanded by Capt. William Van Deusen, until the first of August 1781, when said Captain Van Deusen resigned the command, and John Warner, who was first Lieutenant under Capt. Van Deusen, was appointed Captain of said Company, under whom I continued to serve until the first day of January 1782, when our term of enlistment expired, and the Company was dismissed. Abner Tuttle, then of New Haven, now deceased, a man with whom I was intimately acquainted, and who resided in the same street, a near neighbor to me at that time, was a private in said company when I enlisted, he having enlisted about a month before me, or sometime in the month of March 1781; and the said Abner Tuttle continued to serve in said company until the first of January 1782, according to my best recollection and belief. I further testify that I was well acquainted with Elizabeth wife of said New Haven, and knew that she was married to the above mentioned Abner Tuttle in the year 1783, and I have not known of her marrying again since said Tuttle's death, but believe that she still continues his widow.
