Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress of the 7 th July 1838 entitled "an act granting half pay & pensions to certain widows"
State of Connecticut } District of Litchfield } ss Litchfield
On this 27 th day of August AD 1838 personally appeared before the Court of Probate within & for said District Mary Warren a resident of Litchfield in said District aged seventyfour 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 7 th 1838 entitled "An act granting half pay & pensions to certain widows" That she is the widow of Edward Warren late of Watertown, Conn. who was a Private in the Military Service of the United States in the Army of the Revolution & when he entered said service resided in Derby, Conn. & served according to the best of her knowledge & belief as follows viz in the spring of the year 1776 he enlisted into a company commanded by Capt Matthew, Lieut. the Amos Hickox & Ensign Edward Riggs for a period of six months. She cannot state the Regiment he was in but he was during said service quarter for Genl. Matherbury. He left Derby with Lieut. Hickox & joined the American Army at the Northward & served at Scanderoga & in that vicinity with the Army the period of six months for which he enlisted & returned to said Derby in the Autumn of the same year.

In the year 1777 or 1778 he enlisted at 1 o Derby into said service during the war & served in the Continental Army in Meigs Regiment & in the Company commanded a part of the time by Capt Brasher, she thinks in the 2 o Conn t Regiment. He served in 1 o Army as a Private & was at the Battle of Monmouth, & at the taking of Stony Point under Wayne. He served at Kingston N.Y. during the hard winter, was present as one of the Guard when Andre was hung; served at the South, & was present in 1 o service when Cornwallis surrendered.
He served in said Army a period of four or five years. He received a written discharge which was preserved for some years, but it was lost or destroyed many years since & before his death & of course it cannot now be produced. That what she has stated above she states from her own recollection of what took place at the time (as she resided near him) & from information derived from him. That she cannot state more particularly than she has the particulars in relation to his service, & she supposes a more particular statement is unnecessary, inasmuch, as she relies upon evidence in the War Department, as to his service, believing that, altho' he was not a Pensioner, the rolls of the Continental Army will show the necessary facts in relation to his said service.
She further declares that her maiden name

was Mary Steele; that she was married to the said Edward Warren on the 28 th day of May 1784 at Oxford, Conn, by Thomas Clark Esq, a Justice of the Peace; that her husband the aforesaid Edward Warren died on the 10 th day of December A.D. 1814; that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the first of January seventeen hundred and ninetyfour viz: at the time above stated and that she has remained a widow ever since the death of the said Edward Warren.

Litchfield Conn Nov 5 th 1838
J. L. Edwards Esq. Sir
I have before me your favor of the 20 th ult concerning Mary Warren's application for a Pension. You state that no one named Warren belonged to Barker's company in Meigs Reg t & that "There was one Edward Waring in another company of that Reg t If she is the widow of the soldier whose name is enrolled she should produce some proof of the fact" — The deposition of Ward Peck was taken to prove her husband's service about the time she made her first application but supposing Warren's name would be found on the rolls of Meigs Reg t & that any further proof would be unnecessary it was not then forwarded I now however enclose it. Peck states that Warren was in the same company with him, & Peck is a Pensioner, I think under the Law of 1828. If his statement is true (I have reason to believe it to be substantially so) it will probably appear that he (Peck) was in the same company in which Edward Waring is enrolled, & if so, is it not probable, that Edward Waring & Edward Warren are one & the same person? At all events Peck's deposition tends to prove the service of Warren. If it does not appear from your records that Edward Waring , nor his widow have hitherto applied for a Pension, it would strengthen the idea that the present applicant is the widow of the man enrolled Edward Waring  Waring was meant for Warren .
On receiving your letter it occurred to me that a person called Waring formerly resided in this town, I examined the town records & found that that person wrote his name Warren & an enquiry I made from his neighbors that he was generally called Waring . I enclose two depositions to prove that fact. From them it would seem that in this instance at least, the name Waring & Warren meant the same person. Hoping that this evidence will satisfy you that Mrs. Warren is entitled to a Pension I remain Very Respectfully Yours Geo. C. Woodruff

Wadsworth Connecticut Feb. 16 th 1849 To the Comm. of Pensions
Dear Sir
A long time since I should think Nine Months or more, I sent to your Office the declaration of two female Pensioners, Obedience Fen- ce & Mary Warren the former of Hymnods the latter of this place, and I fear as I have never heard a word, the Communication miscarried. The Object was to get a continuance of their Pension for One Year under the Act Act either of 1847 or 1848 I forget which. I have made their Pension papers for them many years, they are both living & come within the Provisions of the act at luded to. I know how vexatious & inconvenient it is for such a department to answer letters, I have since been abstained from writing you here before though constantly harassed, by 2 old Women, that I can sympathize with you. The time of drawing the 1 st of March is coming, & I wish to be able to tell them something. Obedience Fence, Mary Warren, the names Yours Ob td Servant
Abbeek Curtis
As I have not the Act before me I cannot state whether it gives the Pension for one Year or more or its date but I believe it was correctly described in their Application.

Y r Sir
Will you have the kindness to send the Pension Certificate of Mrs Mary Haxon to me I am so unfortunate as not to be able to find the act of the 3 d of March 1843., but I suppose it prudent to make a declaration and small evidence of the truth of it. Mrs Anna Newviman of Watertown Litchfield County Connecticut was a Five years pensioner under the act of July 7 th 1838 is still living at Watertown I am indebted & entitled to the benefit of the act of March 3 d 1843., if you can send me her Pension Certificate without further trouble on this statement we should feel much relieved as she is now sick & we do not wish to annoy her. her 5 years Pension Certificate is probably in your office as we sent it to the Agent for paying pensions at Hartford after the last drawings, send it either to me or her if consistent with your views Very Respectfully Y r D o S r W th
