State of Connecticut County of Hartford ss.
On this 24 th day of October A.D. 1835 personally appeared in open court before the Court of Probate for the District of Hartford, now sitting being a Court of Record and having by law a clerk and seal, Jared Loder, now a resident of Gnosly, in the County of Hartford in said State of Connecticut aged Seventy one years and upwards, who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in addition to his declaration here- tofore made. That a short time after the passage of the Act of Con- gress of March 1818 for the relief of Revolutionary soldiers, he obtained knowledge of the same and was about to come to the United States to make his application, but was in- formed that its provisions extended only to the indigent soldier, and not being in absolute penury, he gave up all hope of the relief he had expected and relinquished his con- templated visit. I was not informed of the passage of the Act of Con-

of June 1832 untill a long time afterwards. I did not get any information that I could rely upon until last winter, and when I became satisfied that my case was clear I have come as soon as my age and circumstances would permit.
When I was first informed of the passage of the act of June 1832 which was more than a year afterwards, I took the earliest opportunity, my situation would admit of to be certain before undertaking a journey of seven hundred miles at my advanced period of life, with all the accumulated infirmities in- cident to old age. I have made no more delay than was necessary after I became satisfied that my case was within the contemplation of the said Act of Congress.
Jared Tozer
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter that the facts set forth in the foregoing declaration in addition to a decla- ration heretofore made by the above named Jared Tozer are as he states.
I Thomas H. Seymour Judge of the Court of Probate for the District of Hartford in the State of Connecticut, do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original pro- ceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the application of Jared Tozer for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office, this 24 th Day of October A.D. 1835. Thomas H. Seymour Judge.

Sir
I herewith enclose the letter of Administration on the estate of the late Jared Foye - as granted me in accordance with the laws of this province. Every thing has been attended to in agreement with the information contained in the letter that I received from you when at Washington last fall.
I might just mention that the signatures of all the heirs mentioned in my power of attorney, now in your possession, were attached to the application for letters of administration, made to the Surrogate, so that all is right now. Would be too much trouble for you to forward a draft of the amount if obtained, as I suppose there is not much doubt on that subject - on the Commercial Bank, Fredericton N.B. as I am a stranger in Boston; however this may be an unusual request. Please let me hear from you as soon as convenient as you will greatly oblige

I Ferdinand Clemons of Groton in the County of Hartford in the State of Connecticut being nearly seventy one years of age do here and say, that from my earliest youth I was acquainted with Israel Towner. We were born in the same neighborhood in Lynn in the County of Middlesex in said State. We were school mates together. After some years we removed to Groton and I recollect he entered the army of the Revolution in 1779 and in 1780 and served as near as I can recollect eight or nine months at each time. I also recollect that in the early part of the year 1781 he the said Towner enlisted into the American Army for during the war and went into service in Col. Sheldon's Regiment. I remember his once being at home on a furlough and I well recollect his return- ing home in his uniform dress, when the Army was disbanded in the year 1783, and further I do not -

Sir I enclose you the papers of Jared Tores who for nearly fifty years has resided in the Province of New Brunswick. He had been your so long that no clergyman in the county or elsewhere to my knowledge, ever heard of him. The auth of identity therefore of two of his old neighbors who are highly respectable men I suppose would be more satisfactory to the department than the mere hearing of any clergymen. I have also en- closed a deposition taken in New- Brunswick which may not be expected within any rule of the Department, but I presume will tend somewhat to con- firm the identity of the officer.
I am very respectfully, Arthur Johnson

My Grandfather, Jared Loyer received a pension from the United States Government under the act of one thousand eight hundred and thirty two. for services performed in the American Revolutionary war. This pension was received through the Pension Office of Massachusetts. From the fact that my grandfather, enlisted during the war and for the same, received a grant of land - I think he was entitled to his pension from the act of eighteen hundred and twenty eight. I therefore request that the matter should be investigated and the papers now in my possession which state the time of his death - the names of his surviving children be examined

Dear Sir
Jared Tozer , my great-Grandfather served in the revolutionary war from the State of Conn. I believe. He was a pensioner for many years before his death and lived in the parish of Northesk in the Province of New Brunswick drawing his pension at New Castle. Can I obtain a certificate from the Pension dept - that said Jared Tozer was a soldier of the Revolution and drew a pension therefor or was honorably discharged from the U.S. service.

of the war of the rebellion? If the records of the Pension Department show the service and discharge of said Jared Leger, what will the cost be to me for such certificate?
I want such certificate simply to show that my ancestor was a revolutionary soldier for the purpose of joining the order of the Sons of the Revolution
Please let me hear from you on this matter
