STATE OF NEW-YORK, ss.
On this Second day of December 1837 , personally appeared before me John Yates one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the County of Schenectada , Susannah Winne a resident of the City of Schenectada in the county of Schenectada aforesaid and State of New York, aged seventy eight 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, 1836: That she is the widow of Jacob Winne who was a Lieutenant in the army of the revolution for nine months, and a Commissary of Issues for more than four years, as particularly set forth in the accompanying papers
She further declares that she was married to the said Jacob Winne on the fourteenth day of January , in the year seventeen hundred and seventy-eight , that her husband, the aforesaid Jacob Winne , died on the eleventh day of June 1807 and that she has remained a widow ever since that period, as will more fully appear by reference to the proof hereunto annexed.
Sworn to, and subscribed, on the day and year above written, before me said Judge; and I certify that said Susannah Winne cannot attend Court owing to bodily infirmity
Susannah Winne
John Yates Judge
And the aforesaid Declarant being further duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that she was married to said Jacob Winne on the 14 th day of January 1778 , as above specified, by the Reverend Thomas Romeyn then pastor of the Reformed Dutch Church at Coughnawaga , which place this Declarant & her said husband repaired for the purpose of having the marriage ceremony performed. That their marriage took place at the house of John Fonda in said town of Coughnawaga — And this Declarant further saith, that at the time of her marriage as aforesaid, her said husband was a Commissary or assistant Commissary of Issues , and had his station at the Schoharie forts — that shortly after their said marriage, her said husband Jacob Winne received a Commission as Lieutenant , & served in

that Capacity for the term of nine months - but this Deponent cannot call to mind the names of his superior officers, if she ever knew or was informed, nor can she distinctly remember whether he belonged to the regular army or State troops - but this declarant does remember that the name of the Lieutenant who served in the same Company (or perhaps Regiment) with her said husband, was William Van Arnam , or Arnone - He was very intimate with Captains Harrison & Thornton, and thinks they may have belonged to the same Regiment or Company in which said Jacob Winne served - and this Declarant can give no particulars of said service.
And this Declarant further saith, that her said husband Jacob Winne immediately after his service in said Capacity of Lieutenant for nine months as aforesaid, received the appointment of Commissary again, and served in that capacity until the end of the war in 1783 without intermission, to wit for at least for four years, being only out of said Office of Commissary during the year 1778.
And this Deponent further saith, that her said husband was stationed during said four years at the Schoharie forts aforesaid - where he discharged the usual duties of an issuing Commissary supplying the troops from time to time there stationed with provisions, and ammunition, and other articles usually issued by Commissaries during the war of the revolution and that he was the only Commissary

performing similar duties except himself That he made his returns regularly to the Departments of the Quarter Master & Commis- sary general of the United States. She remembers in particular that her husband often spoke of Morgan Lewis in connec- tion with his business as commissary - This Declarant's knowledge of the services of her husband was acquired mainly in consequence of several visits she made to Schoharie to see her said husband, from Albany, the place of her residence. In the summer of the year 1779, she made a visit to Schoharie where her husband was then stationed & remained with her for about two months. Her second and last visit was in the month of Novem- ber 1780, when she remained with him until July 1781, when she returned to Albany, & her said husband continued at said forts on duty as such commissary until the end of the revolutionary war - It strikes this Decla- rant that her husband had his station for the most part of his time at the middle fort of Schoharie, which was located between what is now called "Middleburg" & "Vrooman's land" - and that the upper fort was abandoned immediately after the Massacre committed there by the enemy
