Berkshire ss. . . . .
On this Seventh day of March in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty seven. personally ap- peared before me William P. Walker Judge of Probate for the County of Berkshire and Commonwealth of Massachusetts M rs Hannah Whitney of Sheffield in said County, aged Seventy seven 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 provision made by the Act of Congress passed 4 July 1836 - That she is the widow of Cornelius Whitney late of Canaan in the County of Litchfield and State of Connecticut deceased, who died at said Canaan on 16 th day of November A.D. 1829 that according to the best of her knowledge and belief which knowledge and belief is principally grounded upon her late husband's declarations, he was enlisted or drafted into the service of the Revolutionary War as early as the year 1775. and she believes that his first service was in the Connecticut Regiment commanded by Col. Webb and that his Company officers names or some of them, were Capt and Lieut. Bastwick. In addition to her husband's own declaration on this subject, she further says, that the annexed original paper marked A. has been recently been found among her husband's old papers & purports to be a furlough under Col. Charles Webb dated "Winter hill Camp Nov. 20 th 1775." This furlough is in the hand writing of Lieut. Bastwick as she is now informed and truly believes. It is The deponent further says upon the authority of her husband's declarations, that at or about

the date of the paper marked A. her said husband had then completed one years service, and that he had then enlisted into the same company to service. The following year or during 1776. and in the truth of this declaration she is confirmed by the same ori- ginal paper marked A. as will appear by reference thereto in these words. to wit, "as he hath interest in the Service for the year ensuing" & and also by a further original paper marked B. which she has recently found among her husband's old papers, and annexed to this declaration. This paper is in these words - "new Milford 6 th Jun 1777. Rec d of Coln." "Whitney, his receipt for the gun and cartouch Box and Bayonet which "he returned into the Continental Store at Pikeskill dated 30 Dec 1776." Signed - "J Bostwick". In further confirmation of the foregoing facts this deponent annexes two other original papers found as aforesaid marked C. & D. the first purporting to be his own order, signed, as this de- ponent well knows by his own hand, attested defaced. upon Capt. Bostwick for his pay for services in the Summer of 1775 & upon which a payment was made as appears by the indorsement on the back thereof. The other an order, drawn in his favor by Abram How Adjt t upon Capt. Ford for services in 1776. This deponent further says that in the year 1777 she cannot state where he was, engaged in the service, but well remembers hearing him say he had been dropped on some time of duty, of two or three months within that year, but in what Regiment or who were his company officers she does not remember. within the year 1778 this deponent first became intimately acquainted with Mr. Whitney and a marriage took place between us on the 9 th day of April of that year. After our marriage Mr. Whitney remained

at home until some time in the spring or commencement of the summer of 1779 at which time we was again drafted into the Service and was mustered at Litchfield, from where he marched as he has told me to New Haven or New London attached to Capt. Paine Company, after had reached his place of destination he with others were ordered back to Litchfield with some troops in charge. At Litchfield Mr. Whitney was taken sick and was there a short time when he was so far recovered as to be removed from Litchfield to Canaan and did not again return to perform any Service during that year. This deponent further says further says that she has found another Original paper among her husband's old papers, which she has annexed to this declaration Marked E , which she thinks confirms her own recollection in the material facts in reference to the same during the year 1779. She cannot state whether her husband was in field office during this year, but she has a strong impression that she has heard her husband name Lieut. Hosmer as one of his Company officers. This deponent further says that in the year 1780 Mr. Whitney remained at home during the whole year. In the following year 1781 Mr. Whitney was again called out, was drafted or enlisted into the Army to go to West Point where she has heard him say he did go and was there employed for some time. The particulars of this campaign she cannot recollect. Nor can she say who were her husband's company or field officers. He was absent from home six and to two months. As confirmatory of these declarations, the deponent annexes another original paper marked F , purporting to be a receipt of Silas Moore for a gun used by her husband while on this tour of duty. This paper she has found among her husband's old papers. This deponent further says that the following year 1782 her husband again remained at home. In 1783 he was again called out, drafted or enlisted to go again to West Point and did go there in January and was gone from home nine weeks.

During this period of Service, she says, she has heard her husband say he was taken from the ranks, and put to work upon the barracks for sometime. She cannot state who were the officers under field or company during this period of Service, but well recollects hearing her husband and Ichabod West frequently talk over this period of Service and on one occasion Mr. West referred her husband to his visit at a time when he lay sick at West Point. This deponent further says that she has heard her husband say he was at the battle at the time of the arrival of our troops from New York, and others, but she cannot state where. She says she has heard him state that he marched thro' the country to Boston and often heard him speak of Winton Hill-Loamp near Boston, and has heard him say he was at the taking of the Hessian Troops. These are all the facts and circumstances at present in the deponent's recollection which may be useful in the investigation of her claim. She further says she has no further documentary evidence in support of her claim except as before stated and annexed to this declaration. The deponent further says that the reason which she has always heard her husband assign why he did not apply for his pension in his lifetime, was, that he possessed property which disqualified him. but she says shortly before his death it was understood by her husband that Congress had removed that difficulty, & she thinks he would have applied but was disabled by bodily infirmity from making any effort to obtain it. She again declares that she was married on the 9 th day of April 1770 by Elisha Baker Esq. then of Canaan Connecticut at the house of Capt. Ruliff Dutcher in r d Canaan. She has applied to his son Robert H. Baker for the residence, but finds it lost, and that since her husband's death she has ever since remained a widow.

State of Connecticut County of Litchfield ss Canaan in the Probate District of Sharon.
On this 27 th day of February 1837 personally appeared in open Court before the Court of Probate within and for the District of Sharon in the County and State aforesaid, the same being a Court of Records and now sitting, Hester Hunt of Canaan in said District, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth upon her oath make the following affidavit in relation to the application of Hannah Whitney for a pension, viz
I Hester Hunt of Canaan in the County of Litchfield and State of Connecticut, do depose and say that I shall be seventy five years of age in March next, and that many years ago, when I was a young girl, I was invited to attend a wedding at said Canaan, at Capt Ruliff Butchus, where Mr Cornelius Whitney was to be married to Hannah Green. I went to attend said wedding but did not get there till a short time after the marriage ceremony had been performed. I however staid and attended the wedding party and the said Cornelius Whitney and Hannah Green were there present as Bridegroom and Bride, and it was then said by others present that they had just been married, and I have no doubt that such is the fact. It was said that the marriage ceremony was performed by Doctor Baker who was then a justice of the Peace residing in said Canaan.
I am not able to tell precisely at what time the above mentioned occurrence took place. But I know that I was a young girl and had but just commenced going out into company with young people, and I am very confident that I could not have been more than fifteen or sixteen years old. I also recollect, that in the year 1780, called

the hard winter my husband Asaph Hunt whom I afterwards married was in the Army. and from many circumstances I am certain that the wedding before men- tioned. must have been. at least one. and I believe two years before the said hard winter.
From all these circumstances which I do recollect. I am confident that said Cornelius Whitney and Hannah Green must have been married as early as the year 1778.
The said Hannah is said to be now living in Sheffield in the State of Massachusetts and to be the widow of said Cornelius Whitney

At a subsequent session of the same Court held at the Probate Office in said Canaan, on the second day of March 1837, personally appeared in open Court, Betsy Ann Bunnell who being first duly sworn according to law doth in open Court make the following affidavit in relation to the said Application of Hannah Whitney viz.
"I Betsy Ann Bunnell of Canaan in Litchfield County and State of Connecticut do depose and say, That I am the daughter of Elisha Bostwick late of New Milford in said County deceased, that said Elisha Bostwick died at said New Milford in the year 1834 in December, and at his decease was a pensioner of the United States on account of services during the Revolutionary war. A part of which services consisted as I have always understood, of one Years service in the Continental line of the Revolutionary Army in the year 1776, as a lieutenant.
I do further depose and say that, after the decease of my said Father, I found among his papers a small Book, of the size of a memorandum Book, which contains divers entries and memoranda, in the hand writing of said Elisha Bostwick.
The first page of said Book contains the said Elisha Bostwick's name and place of residence and below the following "Heights of Harlem 1 st Batt 1776. Then follows a roll of the Commissioned Officers in Col Webb's Reg t , consisting of Eight Companies, of which the 4 th is as follows. "Capt Isaac Bostwick 1 st Lieut Samuel Knulbut, 2 d Lieut Elisha Bostwick Ensign Amos Bostwick." There is also in said Book "A Roll of Capt Bostwick's Co. 1776" which Roll gives the names of the above mentioned Commissioned officers, the noncommissioned officers and privates numbered from 1 to 81 and that the name N o 70 upon said Roll is Cornelius Whitney. There also appear on said Roll entries or memoranda opposite the names of several individuals of said Company such as "Imprisoned 16 th Nov" "Taken 16 th Nov" "deceased 16 th Nov" "deceased 8 th Nov" "Taken in Fort W" "deserted Ap l 1 st " etc But that no entry or memorandum appears opposite the name of said Cornelius Whitney from which it would seem that he

remained with said company during said year. This Roll and all the entries and memoranda above mentioned are in the hand writing of said Elisha Bostwick.
I have no reason to doubt that the name of Cornelius Whitney on said Roll refers to the same Cornelius Whitney the deceased husband of Hannah Whitney of Sheffield who is now applying for a pension. and I believe such to be the fact. from the following circumstance. viz. some years ago since my removal to said Canaan. my father once inquired of me if a man by the name of Whitney lived in said Town of Canaan. and said that there was one Cornelius Whitney who belonged in Canaan a member of his Company during the Revolutionary War.

I Benjamin Stevens of Canaan in Litchfield County & State of Connecticut do depose and say, that I shall be eighty three years of age, in June next. And that I am a pensioner of the United States, and was in the service at several different times during the Revolutionary War.
In the year 1777, in the forepart of September, I was drafted as a militia man and entered the service, on account of the alarm in consequence of the advance of Genl. Burgoyne from the Northward. We went immediately to the Hudson River. Our company was formed from the Towns of Canaan Norfolk and Salisbury in Litchfield County, and was commanded by Capt. Timothy Gaylord, and we belonged to Col. Moadiah Hooker's Regiment. We were stationed at several different places, upon the North River in keeping guard and watching the movements of the enemy's shipping on the River till after the surrender of Burgoyne, and were finally discharged at Fishkill in the latter part of November in the same year, having served not less than two months and an half.
I well recollect that one Cornelius Whitney belonged to the same company above mentioned, was drafted at the same time that I was, and served with me during the whole of said term and was discharged at the same time. Said Whitney then belonged in said Town of Canaan. And I understood that he was married to Hannah Green soon after the above mentioned period.

My said Father in his life time was for many years a justice of the Peace for said County and as such frequently performed the marriage ceremony between persons living in said Town. At his decease which happened in the year 1807. his Books and papers came into my hands and possession. and I well recollect that among other documents was a book containing records of marriages which he had celebrated. This Book remained in my possession some years. and I recollect several times giving copies from it of records of such marriages. But it is now lost. I have made diligent search for said Book at the request of Widow Hannah Whitney but have not been able to find it and I cannot recollect to have seen it for the space of ten years or more. and I am satisfied that it is utterly lost.
