Declaration
In order to obtain the benefit of the third Section of the Act of Congress of the fourth of July A.D. 1836
State of Massachusetts County of Worcester ss.
On this seventeenth day of January in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty seven, personally appear- ed before me Mr. Benjamin Judson of the Court of Probate within and for the County of Worcester opinion, Hannah Warner a resident of Hard- wick in said County, aged ninety 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 provisions made by the Act of Congress passed July 4. 1836.
That her maiden name was Hannah Man- dell; that she was born in Dartmouth in this State, since that she was married her late husband Gen. Jonathan Warner, at said Hardwick, by the Rev. Daniel White, February 4. A.D. 1766. That the record of her marriage and the births of their twelve children, appears on their family Bible.

At the commencement of the Revolution, my husband was a great liberty man, and took sides against to his neighbor and my uncle, Brigadier Timothy Ruggles. Immediately after the battle of Lexington, he went away into the service with his company or regiment, and was gone three or four months to Roxbury. He afterwards went out to the Jersey, was at the taking of Burgoyne, was in the battles of Bennington and Stillwater, and was in much service during the war which I am unable to particularize, for the proof of which I must refer to the documentary evidence accompanying my application. My husband had several offices in the Army from Captain to General, but I am unable to state the office he held at each particular service. After he came out of the service he was Major General of the Militia of the County of Worcester. His commissions, together with a letter he had from General Washington, were carried by a son of mine to Boston where he died several years since, and I understand the papers are lost, and cannot be found.
My husband was called into the service so much that he had to let his place out, and we suffered greatly from his repeated services in the war, and from the depreciation of paper money; I am unable to make oath as to the precise time of my husband's service, but I always carried it in my mind, that it was, in the whole, three or four years; it must have been at least three years. I further declare that my said husband deserved

January 7. A. D. 1863; and that I have remained his widow ever since that time.
Declarations subscribed the Hann th warbler day since your appearance

And hereupon the Court do declare it as their opinion, after a full investigation of the matter that the said Jonathan Barnes was an officer in the Revolution; that he was married to the said Affiant; that he deceased; and that she has ever since remained his widow, as she on oath, hath also declared; she being in my o- pinion a person of truth.

Mrs Sarah Warner's Affidavit.

I Sarah Warner of Greenwich in the County of Hampshire and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Widow, being now Ninety four years of age, depose and say, that I was born in the town of Hardwick in the County of Worcester in the same State as informed by my parents; on the first day of November 1742. and that Jonathan Warner, the subject of this affidavit, was my brother; that he also lived in Hardwick. — I lived in that town until the 20 th day of March, 1772, when I removed to Brookfield in the same County, a distance of about ten miles. and that after five years and about one month, I returned again to S d Hardwick, where I have continued until within the last five years. — I remember that at the commencement of the Revolutionary War, he had in training a Company of Minute Men , and that soon after the Battle of Lexington in April 1775 he marched with his Company to Roxbury near Boston. and was absent with them, as near as I can remember, two or three months.
After his return he went to New Jersey, and remained, as near as I can recollect, about seven months, and was brought home sick. He soon recovered, and returned to the Service; and was out a great part of the time during the War. I remember very well his went to the Northward — he was at the battle of Bannington — at Stillwater — at the taking of Burgoyne at Saratoga , where he commanded as I was told a Brigade . He was also at West Point . — I recollect very well that owing to his long absence, his farm was much neglected, and that after the War, he frequently mentioned his great losses on account of the War. — I do not know how much time he was in actual Service on the whole, but should judge it must have been as much as three or four years. He was a Captain when the War commenced, & I believe a General when the War closed — I attended his wedding and saw him Married to Hannah Mandell — now Hannah Warner , who still lives in said Hardwick, and who has remained the Widow of the said Jonathan Warner since his death in 1803.

Susanna Robinson's Affidavit -

Susannah Robinson of Bennington, County of Bennington and State of Vermont (now on a visit at Hardwick, Massachusetts) do depose and say, that I am now aged Sixty nine years & six months being the eldest of twelve Children of the late Genl. Jonathan Warner of said Hardwick, & of Hannah Warner, widow of the said Genl. who still lives, his widow - that at the time of the Battle of Lexington in 1775 he had a Company of Minute men which he had been in the habit of making in his house for military drill and discipline - that he was then called "Colonel Warner" or "Captain Warner" and that immediately after the Battle of Lexington he was ordered with his men either to Lexington or Roxbury, and was absent some months before his return - how long I do not remember I recollect that he was engaged, more or less, from the commencement to the close of the war, in the service. and that during the first three or four years, he was almost wholly in Actual Service, and that on account of his being so constantly engaged in the service he rented his farm to a farmer, being unable himself to manage it personally. - I know that he was brought home sick after a term of several months in New Jersey in 1777 or 1778 - I know that he was at the taking of Bennington at Saratoga -
I cannot say how long he served at any one place, or how long in the whole, but am of opinion he was in Actual Service near or quite one half the whole time of the Revolutionary War, and that during that period he was promoted to the rank of a General.
I further depose and say that in the old Family Bible now before me, I find the Record of my father's and Mother's births & marriages and deaths together with those of their Children, which is in my father's own hand writing, and of which the following is a Copy.

BA-J/ILL Jonathan Warner W. 22492
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information regarding the following officers who served in the Massachusetts militia, War of the Revolution: Brigadier General Jonathan Warner of Hardwick, Colonel Benjamin Ruggles Woodbridge of South Hadley, and Captains Daniel Winchester, Abel Dinsmor and John Kirkland, all of Hampshire County, Captains John Morgan of West Springfield, Daniel Sackett of Westfield, and Abner Pomeroy of Southampton.
A search of the Revolutionary War records fails to show claims for pension or bounty land on file based upon service of Daniel Sackett, Daniel Winchester, John Kirkland and John Morgan, Captains in the Massachusetts troops, or of any Benjamin Ruggles Woodbridge, Abel Dinsmor or Abner Pomeroy. Similar spellings of these surnames have been searched. The record of Brigadier General Jonathan Warner is given herein as found in the papers on file in pension claim, W. 22492, based upon his service in that war.
Jonathan Warner was born July 14, 1744, in Hardwick, Worcester County, Massachusetts, where he resided during his entire lifetime; the names of his parents are not shown.
Jonathan Warner, immediately after the landing of Governor Gage in Boston, raised a company of minutemen and kept them in training for service.
At news of the battle of Lexington in April 1775, he marched with his company to Roxbury, was commissioned Colonel, afterwards Brigadier General and continued in service until late in the war.

During these years of service, he was in the battles of White Plains, Bennington, Stillwater, at the capture of Burgoyne, and afterwards at West Point, New York.
General Jonathan Warner died January 7, 1803.
He married February 4, 1766, in Hardwick, Massachusetts, Miss Hannah Mandell, then of Hardwick; the ceremony was performed by Rev. David White. Hannah was born January 5 or 6, 1747, in Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
Hannah Warner, the widow of General Jonathan Warner, was allowed pension on her application executed January 17, 1837; she was then a resident of Hardwick, Massachusetts.
The names of the children of Jonathan Warner and his wife, Hannah, are shown as follow:
Susanna born July 10, 10, 1767. Bathsheba " March 25, 1769. Hannah " February 20, 1771. Betsey " March 26, 1773, died Aug. 18, 1778. Joseph Warren " July 13, 1775, " " 10, 1777. Fanny " September 14, 1778. Jonathan " January 13, 1781. Harriet " January 15, 1783. Alma " May 15, 1785. Mary White " March 7, 1787. Eloisa " April 23, 1790. William Augustus " May 26, 1795.
In 1837, the widow, Hannah Warner, stated that her son took his father's commissions and a letter from General Washington to Boston, where he died "several years since", but she did not designate the name of that son. Her eldest child, Susanna Robinson, was then a resident of Bennington, Bennington County, Vermont; the name of her husband is not designated. One David Robinson, aged eighty-two years, was then a resident of said Bennington, and one Henry Robinson was a Justice of the Peace for Bennington County, Vermont; no relationship between these parties was stated.

In 1836, Sarah Warner of Greenwich, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, stated that she was born November 1, 1742 in Hardwick, Massachusetts, and that she was present at the marriage of her brother, Jonathan, to Hannah Mandell. In 1837, Abigail Mandell, the widow of Moses Mandell of Hardwick, stated that her husband was an aide-de-camp to Colonel Jonathan Warner in the Revolutionary War; she did not state any relationship between her said husband and Hannah Mandell.
It was stated further that Brigadier Timothy Ruggles, a neighbor of Jonathan Warner at the beginning of the Revolutionary War, was the uncle of Hannah Mandell. In 1836, Daniel Ruggles of Hardwick, Massachusetts, stated that, when a boy of about eleven years, on the day after the marriage of Jonathan Warner and Hannah Mandell, he took a basket "of bride's cake, as it was called, and other edibles" to his parents from the mother of said Hannah; no relationship between these persons was stated.
Very truly yours,

Rev d Joshua Crosby's affidavit.

I Joshua Crosby, Minister of the Gospel, at Enfield, Mass. Pensioner removed from Harwich in the County of Barnstable, Mass. to Hardwick in the County of Worcester in the same State, in the Year of our Lord 1774. and immediately became acquainted with Captain Jonathan Warner of S c Hardwick, who immediately, after the landing of Governor Gage in Boston, raised a Company of Minute men so called, and kept them in training and constant readiness for service until the news of the Battle of Lexington in April 1775. He then marched with his Company to Roxbury, and remained absent from home, as near as I can recollect, two or three months; and soon after his return it is my impression he enlisted in the Eight months service and joined the Army either in New-York or New Jersey. I also recollect that he was after some months, brought home sick of the Camp distemper, and that after his recovery, he again went back to the same place and rejoined the Army. He was afterwards at Still water and at the taking of Burgoyne at Saratoga in the Capacity of a Colonel.
I am confident that when I first became acquainted with Captain Warner in 1774, he was a married man, and that Mrs Hannah Warner now remaining his widow, was then his wife, by whom he had at that time several children. I have also been intimately acquainted with the said widow ever since, and have seen her often, and know her to be his widow still.

I Ebenezer Mattson of Amherst in the County of Hampshire and Commonwealth of Massachusetts of Lawfull age do testify and say, that I was well acquainted with General Jonathan Warren late of Hampshire in the County of Worcester, and his wife Hannah Warren, at the commencement of the Revolutionary war they were living together as man and wife - that according to my recollection, he commanded a Regiment and went to Cambridge upon the first alarm afterwards in the year 1777, he was a Brigadier General in the Service, and was at the capture of Genl. Burgoin, at Saratoga soon after which he marched with his Brigade to White Plains, my impression is that he was three months in the Service at that time; Capt. Farnell's Company of Artillery in which I was a Lieutenant was annexed to his Brigade and went to White Plains with him, I had understood at the time, and have no doubt now of the fact, that he was in the Service at several other periods of the war, and was in several other campaigns, but cannot now specify them,
