On this eighth day of July 1842 personally appeared before the Albany Justices Court Susannah Vincent a resident of the town of Berne, in said County of Albany & State of New York aged seventy eight years and upwards, 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 Joshua Vincent , who was a private in the war of the Revolution and late a pensioner of the United States under the act of Congress passed June 7. 1832. That Declarant has no personal knowledge of the revolutionary services of her said husband Joshua Vincent , as she was not acquainted with him during the Revolutionary war, but she was frequently been informed by her said husband and by many others who had knowledge of the facts that her said husband did serve during said war with the Rhode Island Troops for a period of nine months, and as Declarant verily believes under the command of Captain Holden & Colonel Oney or Olney, for further proof of which declarant would refer to the papers now on file in the matter of the application of her said husband for a pension under said act of 7 th June 1832, & also under the act of 18 th March 1818 under which he was finally pensioned. And Declarant further saith that was married to said Joshua Vincent in the month of June 1788, on Thursday of the week, but

the day of the month not distinctly remembered.
That she has no family record in her possession, her husband having never kept one, but that she remembers the year of her said marriage from the fact that she was twenty four years of age in March of that year, being seventy eight years of age at present, that she was married in the month of June following to wit, in June 1788.
She further declares that her maiden name was Millard. That during said war of the revolution she resided with her father's family in Hopkinton Rhode Island. That after said war her father removed his said family to Berlin, Rensselaer County N.Y. (being at that time called Petersburg & belonging to the County of Albany,) where she first became acquainted with her husband the said Joshua Vincent who also removed from Rhode Island to said town two or three years after declarant moved there. That she was married at Berlin aforesaid at the time aforesaid by Elder William Coon, a clergyman of the 7 th day Baptist persuasion. Declarant does not know whether he kept a record of her marriage. That after her said marriage she removed with her husband to Queemans where she resided eight or ten years & had five children. & from thence she removed to the town of Bern aforesaid, where she continued to live with her said husband as his lawful wife until the day of his death as herein after stated, and that since that time she has remained his widow single & unmarried & is still unmarried. And declarant further saith that her husband the said Joshua Vincent died at Bern aforesaid on the 24 th day of August, Eighteen hundred thirty seven, that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service but that her marriage took place previous to the year 1794 to wit, at the time before stated. & that she cannot write her name owing to old age & bodily infirmity.

Paul H. Vincent of the town of Bern in said County of Albany, aged forty years & upwards being duly sworn deposeth & saith that he is the seventh child of Susannah Vincent widow of Joshua Vincent deceased. That his brother John Vincent the eldest child of said Susannah & Joshua now resides in Bern aforesaid & is thirteen years older than Defendant or fifty three years of age. That the Defendant has often heard his father the said Joshua Vincent relate the circumstance of his revolutionary service, to wit, that he served five since months on Rhode Island during the Revolutionary war, and Defendant well knows that in consequence of said service he originally obtained a pension under the act of Congress passed March 18 th 1818, and more recently under the act of June 7. 1832. That the pension certificate herewith returned is the identical one under which he originally obtained his pension, which certificate has remained in the possession of his family since his decease. That this Defendant assisted his said father in obtaining his late pension under the act of June 1832. That the application was conducted by Messrs Steward & Morse, Attorneys, at Cherry Valley, N.Y. That his father the said Joshua Vincent died at Bern aforesaid on the 24 th day of August 1837 leaving the said Susannah his widow. That the said Susannah had since remained his widow single & unmarried & is still unmarried. And Defendant further saith that the arrears of pension due the said Joshua Vincent at the said time of his death were collected by his widow the said Susannah after his death from the agent at Albany N.Y. to whom she returned the pension certificate issued under said act of June 7 th 1832. That his father the said Joshua

Vincent was originally Pensionsed as aforesaid under said act of March 18, 1818 but that owing to his possessing property, or for some other cause his name was stricken from the roll & he therefore applied for a Pension under the act of June 7 th 1832.

Dear sir, -
To assist me in proving my eligibility to membership in the Sons of the American Revolution, I am desirous of obtaining information concerning the military record of my Revolutionary ancestor, Joshua Vincent (or Vincient).
I understand that he enlisted from Gloucester, R.I., and that, after the War, he removed to Albany County (Berne), N.Y. I believe you will find him a pensioner from Albany County, N.Y.
Will you kindly give me as full a record of his military service as you may be able, - date of enlistment, and whatever other facts you may have.
I will greatly appreciate your assistance.
Very truly
Cornelius F. Posson
