Nehemiah S. Weed of Richland in said County being duly sworn deposeth and saith that the annexed leaf being the title page of "The new Testament" as printed as appears at Trenton 1794, he this day tore from a Bible in possession of Sally Weed, widow of Jehiel Weed, formerly a Revolutionary Pensioner - that he has been acquainted with said Bible for more than thirty years last past, and he believes from the year 1803, that the record of the names and ages written upon the blank side of said leaf, or title, was written as this deponent believes by himself previous to 1804 that altho' he has no recollection of writing the same but that it appears to be in his own proper hand writing and he believes must have been entered previous to 1804 from the fact that the record of the death of "Jehiel Weed Sen." is in the hand writing of Jehiel Weed the above named Pensioner, and was made previous to his death which happened on the 11 th of April 1828 - and that the record "Nehemiah Stubbins Weed was born September 6 day 1787" refers to this deponent, and that he has always understood & believes said 6 th of September was his birth day; and further that the record upon said leaf contains the names of all of the children of said Jehiel & Sally Weed of which this deponent has any knowledge, and that he never knew of any other Record of the family of said Jehiel & Sally besides the annexed leaf except one contained in an old Bible from which the annexed was copied and which was long since destroyed as he verily believes. And further that the Bible from which the annexed leaf was this day torn never had any blank leaf provided, as some bibles have, for family records, and further saith not.

Older stated that he was in Capt. Griffing's Co. Livingston's Regt. - but it is stated that it was Clinton's Regt. & sal. also said that he made an error & it was Clinton's but he was after under Livingston - was Griffing was in Clinton's I arranged it this way. I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W.19608, it appears that Jehiel Weed enlisted in the State of New York about February 15 or March 1, 1776, served as a private in Captain Daniel Griffing's Company, Colonel James Clinton's New York Regiment, and in Colonel Henry B. Livingston's New York Regiment. Length of service one year and one month.
In 1781, he moved to Rupert, Vermont.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 6, 1818, at which time he was aged sixty years and resided in Richland, Oswego County, New York. In 1820, he also stated that he was sixty years of age, no explanation made for this discrepancy in age.
He died April 11, 1828, in Richland, New York. The date and place of his birth are not shown.
The soldier married February 1, 1781, at Lower Salem, Westchester County, New York, Sally, her maiden name not shown.
She was allowed pension on her application executed September 13, 1838, at which time she was aged seventy-eight years and resided in Richland, New York.
Their children were:
Sarah Weed born January 10, 1783. Rachel Weed " March 14, 1785.

Nehemiah Stebbins Weed born September 6, 1787. Ezra Weed " March 18, 1792. Nancy Weed " July 12, 1794. Joel Weed " August 19, 1797.

Sir - Accompanying this I forward the declaration of Widow Sally Weed, aff d &c. for the purpose of obtaining a pension.
It is stated in the instructions that where there is record evidence of the services of the deceased Soldier it is unnecessary for the applicant to state such services in her declaration. As the husband of Widow Weed was a pensioner I understand that to be sufficient proof of his revolutionary services, and presume your records will show that fact, altho' she is not able to forward herewith her late husbands Pension Certificate the loss of which you will perceive is accounted for by the Aff.
