(Rodolphus Woodworth Esq. who was the Judge of said Stafford District having recused and the said District of Tolland being adjoining to said District of Stafford the said Waldo becomes the acting Judge of said Stafford District) in open Court, William Washburn of the town of Stafford in said County of Tolland aged eighty four years, who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following Decla- ration in order to obtain the benefits of the provision made by the act of Congress passed in A.D. 1832.
That in the year 1777 he was drafted to perform a tour of duty in the service of the army of the Revolution and served therein a period of three months in a company commanded by Captain John Cushman, and was at the taking of Burgoyne in the campaign of 1777. He does not recollect the name of the Colonel who commanded the Regiment to which he was attached. He left home in the month of August and returned in the month of November, having served a period of three months. —
That he enlisted into said Revolutionary service in a company under the command of Capt. Timothy Page and was attached to a Regiment commanded by Col. Reads and served a period of three months at West Point at the time of Major Arnold's treason and desertion to the British Army. The service rendered during this tour of duty was done as a corporal in said Capt. Page's company. He claims a pension for three months service as a private and three months service as a corporal as provided under said act of Congress passed in 1832. — He affirms as a reason for not making his claim before, that he lived in Oakham in the State of Massachusetts when this service was rendered, and

that he many years since removed from said Oetham to said Stafford, and the persons by whom he expected to prove said service were all dead or removed to parts unknown, and he was not able to meet the expense of proving his claim. But having recently ascertained that proof of his said service could be obtained from ancient pay rolls in Boston, Massachusetts and having received some aid from his friends he now presents his claim for proof of his said service referring to certified copies of said Pay Rolls accompanying this declaration. — He hereby relinquishes all other portions of every name and nature, and will accept of a certificate under the act of Congress aforesaid in full for all claims for Revolutionary services as aforesaid. —
