June Term 1836
On this 1 st day of July 1836 personally appeared in open court before the County Court within and for the County of New Haven now sitting. Eve. Ely. Tuttle a resident of the Town of East Haven in New Haven County and State of Connecticut aged 64 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 act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832.
That she is the widow of Josiah Tuttle deceased that the said Josiah Tuttle was born in East Haven County of New Haven and State of Connecticut September 4 th 1762 as may appear on the Town records. that he resided in said East Haven until the year 1828 when he removed to the Town of Pinfield, Monroe County State of New York where he resided until April 1833 when he removed to the Town of Le Roy, Genesee County, State of New York - and that he died in the Town of Le Roy on the 18 th day of June 1833 - That in the lifetime of said Josiah Tuttle he claimed the benefit of said Act of Congress of June 7 th 1832 for services by him in the war of the Revolution. that he went to the State of Connecticut his native place in the summer of 1832. there obtained proof of his services in the war of the Revolution. made his Declaration and with the proofs obtained. and sent them to the War Office of the United States - that in the month of June 1833 and but a few days before his death - said papers and documents were returned. requiring some further alteration or amendment which became necessary to send said papers to New Haven County in Connecticut to obtain the necessary amendments that in consequence of the decease of the said Josiah Tuttle said papers were delayed being sent for some weeks that in the month of August 1833 said papers with the necessary directions were directed to a particular friend in East Haven in said New Haven County. and were delivered in the Post Office in the aforesaid Town of

So long and from that time to the present no account has been obtained of said paper. But having returned to the native place of the deceased and where he resided most of his life and where the evidence of his service can be obtained the petitioner is induced to make the following statement of the services of the deceased Josiah Tuttle so far as can be obtained from living evidence.
That the said Josiah Tuttle entered as a private in the service of the State of Connecticut in the war of the Revolution in the year 1779 in a Match or Artillery Company under the command of Capt. Phinehas Bradley of New Haven. A Company stationed a part at a Fort on the east side of New Haven Harbor and at other stations on the shores. That the said Josiah Tuttle was employed at said Fort and continued in service in said Company under said Phinehas Bradley in the years 1779 and to the close of the year 1780. When the said Capt. Phinehas Bradley resigned the command of said Company. and William Vandenker as appointed in command of said Company. and said Josiah Tuttle entered said Company and continued in service at said Fort under Capt. Vandenker to the 12 th of April 1781. when said Fort was taken in the Night by the enemy. the said Josiah Tuttle was taken as prisoner of war conveyed to New York and retained for some time. When he returned and entered on duty at said Fort and continued in service under said Capt. W m Vandenker until some time in the summer of 1781. when the said Capt. Vandenker resigned and said Company was under the command of Lieut. John Warner who was afterwards advanced to a Captain. and Lieut. Samuel Bird. and the said Tuttle continued in service in said Company during the year 1781. and also most or all the time after in the years 1782 until the forepart of the year 1783 when the Company was discharged. for proof of the services performed by the said Josiah Tuttle deceased. the applicant is dependant on the testimonies accompanying this. for which it appears that the deceased served in the years 1779 and

in 1780 under the command of Captain Phinehas Bradley nearly two years, that he served under Capt. William Vandenzen about six months including the time he was a prisoner - that he continued his service in the same company under the command of Capt. John Warner and Lieut. Samuel Bird after Capt. Vandenzen resigned until the company was discharged in the spring of 1783. a term of more than one year and six months. for which service of the deceased the said Applicant as the widow of the deceased Josiah Tuttle claims, up to the death of the said Josiah Tuttle
She hereby relinquishes every claim whatever or annuity except the present, and declares that her name on the name of her late husband Josiah Tuttle is not to her knowledge on the pension roll of the agency of any State or of the United States -

John Warner took the Command of said Company, until the first day of Jan'y 1782. which has been shown to the Department of War, by a Certificate from the Comptroller of Public Accounts, for the State of Connecticut.
Which

which I forwarded to the Pension Office on the 20 th May 1836. in proof, of the claim of Elisha Bradley, of Washington, in this State, for service in the same company, up that day, under Capt s Vanduzen, and Warner. — And I further depose, and say, that on the Pay Roll of Capt s Bradleys, company for 1779. it appears that Josiah Tuttle, enlisted as a private into said company, on the 6 th day of Feb y 1779. and was discharged on the 6 th day of Feb y 1780. his time of service is carried out, 12 Months.

The whole time of said Josiah Tuttle, service, as a private of Artillery, in the three companies above named, previous to the resignation of Capt s Vanduzen, was, 2 years, 4 Months, and 6 Days. — And I further depose, and say, that I was, an enlisted soldier, in Capt s Rhineas Bradleys, company of Artillery Garrds. Stationed at New Haven, in the year 1780. that I then knew the said Josiah Tuttle, to be a soldier in said company, I well acquainted with him then, and for many years after that, previous to moving into the State of New York, — In the month of August, or September, 1832. the said Josiah Tuttle, called on me, in New Haven, and obtained my deposition, to prove his claim to a Pension, under the Act, of June 7 th 1832. for his Military services, in the War, of the Revolution. I have now before me, the Pay Rolls, above mentioned, and know, that the facts as to the time of the said, Josiah Tuttle service, are the same, in this, as in my former deposition, are substantially true.
