Be it known, that before me David B. Cassoohl a justice of the peace in & for said County & State, personally appeared Timothy Tuttle & Ambrose J. Tuttle - & Mary W. Blything, wife of Edmund L. Blything, all of Morris County, & who are believed by me to be persons of fair character & fully entitled to belief; & being by me duly sworn according to law, make the following Declaration under oath, in order to obtain an Increase of the pension due to Mary Tuttle decd. their late mother, viz: We are children of Mary Tuttle now decd. who when living, was a Pensioner of the United States, under the act of Congress of July 1836, at the rate of $216.66 2/3 per annum, on account of the Revolutionary services of their father, Capt. Timothy Tuttle, as may appear by reference to her Declaration & vouchers accompanying it, now on file in the pension office: & also, by her subsequent Declaration for an Increase of pension, taken before David Day Esq. Justice of Peace, & forwarded by mail to the pension Office, on or about the 27 th January, 1851. They also respectfully refer to an original letter from the Commissioner of pensions, addressed (probably) to Ambrose J. Tuttle, one of their deponents, & dated January 17 th 1851, admitting some Increase to be due - & which letter advised or directed the Declaration last mentioned, to be made & forwarded to the office.
These deponents state, as their belief, that their father Timothy Tuttle, engaged in the revolutionary war at its commencement, & served at least one year on the Northern expedition against Canada, in continuous military duty, in the various grades of Sergeant, Ensign - Lieutenant & Captain. That after his return from said expedition, he performed militia duties in every year to the close of the war, in various places in New Jersey, & in the vicinity of New York city - as well as in Pennsylvania, along the Delaware frontier, against the hostile Indians: that he was personally engaged in many battles & skirmishes - at Aquetunk, Monmouth - Elizabethtown - Springfield & other places - under command of Colonels Hattaway & Seely - Generals Winder - Dickinson & other officers - for details, they refer to documents on the files, with the Declaration aforesaid. And for his long continued service in his various grades, these deponents believe, that due allowance has not been made in the adjudication of their mother's application for a pension; & they do hereby solicit a re-examination of the case, & most respectfully claim as her heirs, & as children of said Timothy & Mary Tuttle, such Increase & further allowance for all his revolutionary services, & in the various grades in which his military duties may have been performed, as may be just, & in conformity with the liberal views & intentions of Congress, in providing for the widows of Revolutionary

Revolutionary soldiers, who shared with their husbands, the perils & privations of the war for Independence.
We, the deponents before named, claim especially, an increased allowance for our father's service in the grade of Ensign - for which, (as we are informed & believe) that the allowance hitherto made & received, was very inadequate & deficient. We desire however not to be understood as limiting this our claim for increase to this single item; believing as we do, from the testimony of many witnesses & narration of our parents often repeated - that in all the higher grades in which his revolutionary duties were performed, his services were of longer duration than have been hitherto estimated: & for all of which services we respectfully claim an increase of allowance.
The aforesaid Mary Tuttle, our Mother, died at her residence in Hanover, Morris County, New Jersey, on the fifth day of June, A. 1851, leaving at the time of her death, one other child beside these deponents - viz: Elizabeth, then the wife of Henry Davis of Schenectady in the State of New York, & no more. Said Elizabeth Davis died in Schenectady, on the 20 th day of September, 1852, leaving no children, nor child.
Our deceased Mother, Mary Tuttle, never intermarried - but remained the widow of Timothy Tuttle to the time of her death. By her last Will & Testament, her son Ambrose J. Tuttle, was named as her Executor, as will appear by Probate thereof, from the Surrogate, whose certificate is hereto annexed.

Declaration to obtain the benefit of the 3 d section of the act of Congress, of the 4 th of July, 1836.
State of New Jersey Morris County ss.
On the sixteenth day of February, in the year of our Lord 1837, personally appeared before the Inferior Court of Common Pleas of said County, Mary Tuttle, a resident of Hanover in the County of Morris & State of New Jersey, aged 76 years, & well known to this Court, or to some of the judges thereof, as a woman of veracity & unblemished character, & who from age & bodily infirmity cannot attend the Court , who, being first duly sworn accor- ding 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 4 th . 1836. viz: - I am the widow of Captain Timothy Tuttle, who was, as I believe, a Sergeant of Infantry in the beginning of the war, & served in that capacity in what was called the year's service or the Canada expedition, under Colonel William Wind, afterwards General Wind, & as I think, in the company commanded by Captain Morris, whose first name probably was Joseph. In 1777, I believe my husband rec d . an Ensign's commission, dated 8 th . August 1777; & in April (2 d ) 1781, he rec d . a commission as Captain; - both of which I forward herewith. I believe also, but cannot speak with certainty, that between August 77, & April 81, he was commissioned a Lieutenant. That commission however, I have not been able to find, among other papers. These commissions are from the Authorities of New Jersey, & I believe my husband performed Militia service, as Captain, as Lieutenant, & as Ensign, in the Militia of N. Jersey, after his return from Canada, until the end of the war. - The amount of service performed by him, except as Sergeant, I do not pretend to state. There may possibly be found, a few comrades who perhaps yet live, & may recollect a small part of his duties, & to them I must refer. Of my own knowledge, I can only say, that he was out upon his Militia duties, under these several commissions, much of the time in each & every year of the war, after his 1 st year's service, till the close of the war. I have found two small manuscript books, which I know to be his hand writing, & which he kept as a sort of journal or memorandum of his Canada tour, which I also send herewith. They are both stuck together & They have always been in his family to this time, & it is probable some portions or leaves may be missing. So far as it speaks of his marches & labors & privations on that expedition, I firmly believe it to be strictly true, albeit it may have imperfections. I offer it, in support of my claim for his service on the Canada expedition, trusting it will receive whatever weight it is entitled to have. # I was married to the said Timothy Tuttle, on the 21 st day of November  October , in the year one thousand seven hundred & nine by the Reverend Jacob Green, Pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Hanover, Morris County, when my husband lived until the time of his death, which was on the 15 th day of June, 1816. & I have remained a widow, even since that period, as will more fully appear by reference to the proof hearts annexed.

in my family bible I have a record of the age of my dear husband, of myself, of our marriage, the names & ages of our several children, & I understand that my marriage is also on the Church record, or the record of marriages as kept by the Rev. Jacob Green, Pastor of Hanover Church, a certified copy of which I shall endeavor to obtain & forward, with the other documents in my case. My father's name was Timothy Cooper Ward, & lived also in Hanover within a mile of the place on which my husband died, & where I now live. My husband's sister, Ketunah Tuttle, now Ketunah Flett, was present at our marriage, & I hope to be able to obtain her evidence on this point. I cannot specify a particular instance of my husband's service after our marriage. I only know, that he was absent from home, on his Militia duty as I supposed & believed, a great portion of his time, so long as the war continued. I well recollect however, that he was absent from home, & as I verily believe, was personally engaged at the head of his company as Captain, in the battles of Connecticut Farms & of Springfield, in the year 1780, as I think. These battles were so near us, & were so much the subject of conversation by my husband & our neighbors, that the events are somewhat fresh in my remembrance.
For these services of my dear husband, if the laws of my Country will afford me a pension for the few remaining days of my life, I shall gratefully accept it.

Before the subscriber, a justice of peace in said County, personally appeared
Abner Bondict Ely, an aged & omnate man, personally well known to me
as a man of much moral worth & strict veracity, who having by me been duly sworn according to law, on his oath saith as follows viz: - I am in the 88 th year of my age - was an enlisted soldier in the war of the revolution, & served as such, in Captain Silas Howells company, in Col. Winder's regiment in the expedition against Canada, for the period of one year. - I enlisted on the 5 th December, as I believe, in the year 1775. & served till in December 1776. We returned home soon after Genl. Washington's retreat through N. Jersey, & about the time of the first battle in Springfield, N.J. I was well acquainted with Timothy Tuttle, then of Hanover, Morris Co. who lived within a few miles of me. He, the said Timothy Tuttle enlisted at the same time with myself, to wit on the Canada expedition, in the Company of Captain Joseph Morris, I think, & in which I believe he was a Sergeant, & performed Sergeant's duty throughout the whole year. - We were marched through Eliz th town to Amboy, where we spent most of the winter, thence to N. York City - thence to Flatbush on Long Island, where we remained till about the 1 st May, when we embarked for Albany in sloops, & thence to Lake George - down Lake Champlain & the Richelieu, to the St. Lawrence river. Not far below the entrance of the Richelieu into the St. Lawrence, some enemy's vessels of war were discovered ascending the river. They fired upon our boats, & we began our retreat, without going further towards Quebec. Timothy Tuttle & Capt. Morris' company accompanied us, & I believe Capt. Morris was in the advance party reconnoitring the St. Lawrence, when their vessels were fired upon & advanced under full sail. Timothy Tuttle & I were often together on this expedition. He was fond of music, & more especially of fiddling music, & was himself an accomplished fiddler. He, with myself, & a few others, frequently spent an hour or so at evening, in this amusement. Howells company, to which I belonged, & Morris' co. were together, at N. York City, at Albany, Lake George, Champlain, on the Richelieu, & in the St. Lawrence. Returning homeward, I think I left Sergeant Tuttle at Piccadilly, & according to the best of my remem- -brance, we divided in small parties as we progressed homeward. I reached home early in December. & I believe Sgt. Tuttle did also. Soon after this I believe he was promoted to an Ensign's com- mand, & afterward to a Captain's. I have seen him at the head of his company as Captain, performing military duty in defense of his County, frequently, on different occasions, at Elizabeth town - at Springfield - at Chatham - at Rahway, & other places, which I cannot further particularize, further to say, that I believe these various occasions were terms of a month each, & amounting together, to a period not less than six months & probably many more. The times when, I cannot recollect. I believe the commanding officers were General Winder, Col. Ford & Col. Peck.
I was not personally before me, at the residence of Mr. Bondict in Mendham township where blindness & bodily infirmities prevent him from leaving his room. April 19 th 1837

Before the subscriber, a justice of peace in & for said County of Morris, personally appeared Robert Young of said County, personally well known to me, as a man of truth & fair character, & believed by me to have been a soldier in the war of the Revolution - who having been by me duly sworn according to law, on his oath saith as follows, viz: - I am now in my 85 th year, was an enlisted soldier in the Northern campaign against Canada in the beginning of the war of the revolution. I was enlisted by a Lieutenant or officer, whose name I think was Mitchell, & when I joined the Regiment under Colonel William Wind, I was placed in Captain Joseph Morris Company, afterward Major Morris. - We marched to Eliz th town early in December 1775 - thence to N. York & Long Island, were engaged in building breast works, forts &c: in the City & Long Island, & embarked in April for Canada by way of Albany Lake George, Lake Champlain - the Port near to the 3 rivers, where we met the enemy, & soon began our retreat. We spent some time at Crown point, Ticonderoga & Liberty Hill. The Army found the small pox on their return - many were inoculated at Ticonderoga & a number died. Timothy Tuttle of Hanover belonged to Morris Company, & was a Sergeant in it, & performed Sergeants duty. I knew him well when he enlisted & until his death. He spent his life in Hanover township, the same township in which most of my life has been spent. He was a Miller - owned & attended his grist mill, (flour mill) in Hanover, & there he died several years since. He was an excellent singer, & was fond of sacred music, & often spent an evening in singing, when in the Northern campaign. On our return home, I do not recollect to have seen Sgt. Tuttle after I left Ticonderoga. Much of the Country was wilderness woods, & we divided in parties & made the best of our way to Albany, & got home in cold weather, about the time when Genl. Washington & his army retreated through N. Jersey. Sergeant Tuttle was chosen to be Ensign in the Militia company in whose bounds he lived, soon after his return from Canada, & the first time I saw him on Militia duty as Ensign, was at the first battle of Springfield, in December soon after our return home from the North; under Capt. Stephen Munson & Colonel Ellis Cook, & General Heald, when he was stationed for a month & performed duty as an Ensign, whether or not he had then rec d . his commission, I do not know. In January following, all the Militia in this section of the State were ordered under arms against the enemy, then occupying Amboy & New Brunswick. Genl. Wind & Genl. Dickinson had the command & their head quarters were at Van Medens near Snibb town & Bound brook, not far west of N. Brunswick. Ensign Tuttle was there under Captain Munson & Captain Obadiah Kitchel, from the middle of January till the enemy evacuated N. Brunswick & Amboy late in April, being not less than 3 months in this service, during which time there were several skirmishes with the enemy - at Ash Swamp, Short hills - Strawberry hill, Martins woods, Bound brook &c: in some of which Ensign Tuttle was actively engaged, & I often saw him during the winter & spring, at Greenbrook, Woodbridge &c:

In the summer following, (1777) I recollect seeing him on duty under Captain Kitchel at Elizabeth town point, in Col. Cook's regiment, one month, guarding the shore opposite Staten Island. — And in the fall, in time of foraging what I remember him at Hackensack, under Captain Kitchel & Col. Suly, in an engagement with the enemy at a small fort called Pollipoy. He performed a month's duty in that neighbourhood. In the spring of 1778, I saw him on Militia duty at Newark, a month, under Capt. Kitchel & Major Hays & Col. Suly, performing Quorum duty. And just before the Monmouth battle he served a month at Elizabeth town under Captain Bates & Genl. Winder.
About this time, he was promoted to be a Lieutenant in the same company, & performed Lieutenants duties till near the close of the war, when he was chosen Captain. — In the fall season the enemy came from Staten Island, through Elizt. town & Newark, to Aquia-harbor, where Genl. Winder had a sharp engagement with them, in which Lieut. Tuttle was at the head of his company under Col. Suly & Major Hays, & continued in service for one month. I remember him on a month's tour of Militia duty at Red bank on the Delaware below Philadelphia, under Captain Ward, & Col. Suly. in the summer, or early in the fall.
He was on the Indian expedition against the Indians at the Minisink settlement in the summer season, under Genl. Winder, & in Capt. Bates' company, as Lieutenant, a month.
In the spring — (May) of 1780, the enemy over ran Essex County & burnt Connecticut farms. Lieutenant Tuttle with his company, & under Genl. Winder & Col. Suly, was present in that skirmish & performed guard duty a month. Late in June following a battle was fought with the enemy at Springfield, in which Lieutenant Tuttle with his company was engaged under Genl. Winder, Col. Suly & Col. Hethaway. Lieut. Tuttle & company were detained on guard duty against the enemy near Springfield a month. — Soon after this time he was chosen Captain of his company, & I saw him engaged in performing a month's duty at head of his company late in 1781 in the spring following, at Chatham, a few miles west of Springfield.
I afterwards saw him at head of his company near Baskingridge on a month's tour of duty, at the time of the raids of the Pennsylvanians.

Said Timothy Tuttle, after his return from the expedition against Canada in 76, under Colonel Winder, was chosen by his militia company to be Ensign in the company, & afterward to be Lieutenant. The precise time of his election to either of these offices, I cannot tell. I was then living where I now live, & within about two miles of Lieut. Tuttle & in the fall of 1779, & in the winter of 1780, I served two months of militia duty under him, in Capt. Munroe's company, in Elizabeth town - the first month I believe was in November, & the last in February. The Militia then stationed was under command of Colonel
Seely. They were reviewed there whilst performing duty. When the review was passing, I well recollect hearing the name of Timothy Tuttle called, as Lieutenant, & his answer to the call. I often heard him tell of other services, & have no doubt he performed many others, but I do not remember to have served under him, except as above stated.

Before the subscriber, a justice of peace in & for said County, personally appeared Abraham Fairchild Esq. of Hanover an aged man, a resident of Hanover township in said County, & personally well known to me, as one of our most respected citizens, & in all respects entitled to implicit belief & the fullest confidence, & having by me been duly sworn according to law, saith as follows. viz: - I am now in the 84 th year of my age, was a soldier in the war of the revolution, & also performed Militia duties in the New Jersey Militia, in time of said war. I was well acquainted with Timothy Tuttle during said war, & for many years thereafter. We lived near each other as neighbours many years, & until he died. I believe that he was enlisted & served 12 months, in Colonel Winder's regiment, & Capt. Joseph Morris Co. in the expedition against Canada in the year 1775-6. & that he was a sergeant in that company. I saw him in the City of New York, in the spring of 1776, just before he embarked for Albany, & I also saw him directly after his return from Canada, in December following. I did not join with him on that occasion. I only know that he was absent all that spring, summer & fall, & that it was the general belief of all the neighbours, that he was upon that expedition. — After his return home from Canada, he was chosen an Ensign of a Militia company, then commanded as I believe, by Capt. Stephen Munson. In the winter of 1778, I saw him engaged in performing a month's Militia duty, stationed at Elizabeth town, under Captain Obadiah Kitchel, on which occasion he was Ensign of the company.
Ensign Tuttle was afterward appointed Captain of the Militia Company, as I believe, & as I understood & believe, performed Militia duties as a Captain. My own duties in the Continental service however, called my attention elsewhere, & I do not remember to have been actually associated with him, except at Elizabeth town. — Captain Timothy Tuttle died, according to the best of my knowledge, about the year 1816, then living within \frac{1}{2} of a mile of me, (in Hanover) His widow, Mrs. Mary Tuttle, still lives where her husband died, & is a woman of unblemished character. She is now, & has ever since the death of Capt. Tuttle, remained a widow.

Before the subscribers, a Justice of peace in & for said County, personally appeared William Ball, of Hanover in said County & State well known to me personally, as a man of truth & of very respectable standing for piety & integrity, who being by me duly sworn according to law, saith as follows. viz: - I am 84 years old, was a soldier in the Continental Army by enlistment, & also performed duty as a Militia soldier in New Jersey, in the war of 76. - I was well acquainted personally, with Timothy Tuttle of Hanover, whose widow, Mrs. Mary Tuttle, is now an applicant for a pension. Timothy Tuttle served as an enlisted soldier, in the year 75 & 76, for 12 months, in Captain Joseph Morris company, in Col. Wm. Windes Regiment, in the Northern expedition against Canada. I was then living in New York City, where I was an apprentice. - I was then personally acquainted with Timothy Tuttle, & saw him with his company under Captain Morris, just before he embarked for Albany in the spring of 76, at the house of John Tuttle. He was then acting as a Sergeant in the company. I also saw him directly after his return from Canada, early in the winter (December) 76. - Soon after this, (I know not precisely when) he was chosen to be Ensign, in the Militia company where he lived, in Hanover, & I frequently saw him perform Militia tours of duty, as Ensign of his company. I saw him at Elizabeth town, under Captain Munroe, as Ensign in Col. Cooks regiment, in the fall of 77, performing guard duty a month. In the year 79, I saw him engaged in performing a months Militia duty, as Lieutenant, near Connecticut farms, just before Gen. Harcourt, in May & June. Capt. David Bates now commanded the farm company & Tuttle had been chosen Lieutenant. Genl. Windes commanded the Brigade, & Col. Seely the Regiment in which Bates was Captain. - In the following fall, & soon after the last monthly tour, the enemy had overrun Essex County & Bergen, & all the Militia of the Northern Counties under Genl. Windes, had a battle with them at the Bridge at Acquackanack, in which much blood was spilt. Tuttle was in the same company as Lieutenant, a month on this tour in Seely's regiment. Col. Felich Hughes, Col. Hathaway & Col. Hays, were all present, & several other officers. I also was with Tuttle one tour of a month at Red bank & near Haddonfield, below Philadelphia, under Col Seely. This was before the tour last mentioned, & Capt. Bates commanded the company. It was just before the Battle of Monmouth. - I remember Tuttle performing a tour of Militia duty, under Genl. Windes & Col. Seely in the fall season (September) just before Burgoyne surrendered. We marched through Pompton to near Morristown, & returned, being about 6 weeks on this tour of duty. - I believe this was before his promotion from Ensign to Lieutenant, & he was then in Captain Munroes company. - In March & April 1780, I saw Lieutenant Tuttle engaged in performing a tour of Militia duty of a month, at Newark, under Col. Hays command, in Capt. Bates company, protecting the inhabitants, & performing guard duty.

In May, 1780, the enemy came over in a strong body from Staten Island, marched through Elizabethtown, & to Connecticut Farms, where the Militia under Genl. Wines, Col. Suck- Col. Hethaway, Frelinghuysen & others, fought them. They burnt the Church & village & retreated through Elizabethtown, followed by Genl. Wines & the Militia, who skirmished with till they returned to Staten Island. Lieutenant Tuttle was in this engagement, & performed guard duty a month, in the neighbourhood of Elizabethtown & toward Connecticut Farms, under the orders of Col. Suck, in Captain Bates company. It was at this time & place, (Connecticut Farms) that the wife of Rev. James Caldwell was shot through a window, sitting with her child in her arms. — Late in June of the same year, the enemy again came over from Staten Island & N. York, through Elizabethtown & Connecticut Farms, & were met by Genl. Wines & Genl. Heard at Springfield, where the Militia, with some of the Continental regiments under Colonels Dayton & Ayer, fought them at the bridge. I was in Capt. Tuttle's company on this tour, & under his command. Genl. Heard seemed slow in his movements toward the enemy; & Captain Tuttle stepped forward & invited all who were willing to face the enemy to follow him. He led us on past the Church to the battle ground, in the hottest part of it. — Colonel Ayer's Regiment was much cut to pieces, & the whole village with the Church was burned. — The enemy retreated back to Elizabethtown & Staten Island, & were pursued by the Militia, who fought them the whole distance. We were in Suck's regiment, & were kept in service in the neighbourhood of Elizabethtown & Springfield a month, protecting the inhabitants, & performing guard duties. — In the spring following, I saw Capt. Tuttle at the head of his company in the neighbourhood of Flemington in Somerset County performing Militia duty under Col. Suck's command, when the Pennsylvania troops were said to be in a state of mutiny. They performed guard duty there, & at Baskingridge & Morris town a month. — I do not know when Captain Tuttle recd. his Captain's commission; but at the Springfield battle he was called Captain, & commanded the Co. himself. Militia duties, were usually performed in tours of a month, & by companies in rotation, unless when in times of great danger they were all out. I believe there was very little occasion of a draft; we always went voluntarily, when orders were recd. from our officers, that the Militia were wanted. I have been well acquainted with Mrs. Mary Tuttle, before her marriage, & to the present time. She was the daughter of Timothy Cooper Ward, & she still is the widow of Capt. Timothy Tuttle, who died as much as 20 years since, or perhaps longer. I was & resided at Hanover, August 15 th 1839 before me.

and the shore & the lines for a month. - The wife of the Rev. James was killed through a window at Connecticut Farms, at this time. The enemy again came out from N. York & Staten Island, & made their way to Springfield, where there was a fierce battle fought towards the last of June, in which some of the Continental troops were engaged. Genl. Windes, Col. Seely, Col. Frelinghuysen, Col. Hattaway & others, were present. - Lieut. Tuttle was present & was himself at the head of his company, & distinguished himself on this occasion. The enemy burned the Church & the village & retreated back to Staten Island, followed by the Militia to the shore opposite Staten Island, where he, & the rest of the Militia were employed guarding the shore & lines, for a month. - In the fall of this year, in the season of gathering corn, I recollect seeing Lieut. Tuttle, at the head of his company performing guard duty near Chatham, under the orders of Colonel Morris Hattaway, one month. - Soon after this, he was appointed a Captain of Militia & was called out on Militia duty at the head of his company on the route of the Pennsylv- vania line, in the neighborhood of Baskingridge in Somerset County, where he performed a month's tour of duty, under command of Col. Seely & others. - I was well acquainted with the widow of Captain Timothy Tuttle. She was the daughter of Deacon Ward Bys. of Hanover. I knew them both, before marriage, & as long as he lived, & have known her to the present time. Captain Tuttle died as much as twenty years since, & she has remained a widow ever since. I was married at Morris town July 27 th 1834.

State of New Jersey Morris County
Before the subscribers, a justice of peace in said County of Morris, personally appeared James Hitchcock Esq. an aged man, highly respected, & well known to me personally as a man of truth & unblemished reputation, & having by me been duly sworn according to law, saith on his oath as follows.
viz: I am now in my 78 th year, since Nov. 7 th 1836 am a native citizen of Morris County, - was a soldier of Militia in the war of the revolution, & was personally well acquainted with Timothy Tuttle before the war, & until his death. He lived in Hanover township, in which I was born, & where Timothy Tuttle lived & died. He was an enlisted soldier in the year's service, on the Canadian expedition, & served as a Sergeant, in Captain Joseph Morris' Company, & in Col: Mendi's Regiment. He returned home from the Canada service in November or December 1775 & was soon elected an Ensign in the Militia company to which he belonged in Hanover. - In the latter part of the summer of 1777 (Augus. & Septemba) I performed a tour of Militia service of a month in the same company with him, at Elizabet town, under Captain Stephen Jackson  Benjamin Holand Cook & Genl. Winds. In the winter previous, I know he was out upon Militia duty under Genl. Winds, & encamped a few miles west of New Brunswick, when the British were in winter quarters. I was not then in the same company with him. I was in Capt. Hall's company, & Ensign Tuttle I think was part of the winter commanded by Captain Munson, & part of the time by Captain Obadiah Kitchell. I was quartered at one Doctor Bland's, near Woodbridge, & Tuttle was to Scituate town. We often met, & often saw each other. There were frequent skirmishes with the enemy, viz: at Ash swamp, Martin's woods, Round brook & Short hills, in some of which Ensign Tuttle was engaged. I do not know when he was commissioned as Ensign, but he had been appointed, & did his Spysing duty as Ensign that winter & continued in that service till the enemy left Brunswick in the spring of the year, being a service from early in January, till middle of April, not less than 3 months. In the fall of 1777 in November I was with Ensign Tuttle on a tour of Militia duty a month, in the neighborhood of Hackensack & Tappan, under Captain David Bates, Col. Sedg. & Genl. Winds. Part of this month was employed in a march to the neighborhood of New Windsor, to aid in operations against Burgoyne, whom surrender we heard of before we arrived & returned. I remember Ensign Tuttle at Elizabet town point, performing Militia duty a month, as Ensign under Captain Bates & Genl. Winds, early in June  in the spring before the Monument battle. Late in the same summer, I saw him performing a tour of Militia duty of a month at Newark, under orders of Major Hays & Col. Sedg. He was in an engagement with the enemy at Acquackanonk, under Genl. Winds, Col. Trebley, Col. Sedg. in the fall season, under Capt. Kitchell, & he, with the rest of the Militia were kept in service guarding the inhabitants along the frontier for a month, in the neighborhood of Newark & Hackensack. He had been appointed Lieutenant, & acted as Lieutenant in this last tour. In March 80, I saw Lieutenant Tuttle at the head of his company, performing a month's tour of Militia duty at Newark, under Major Hays & Col. Sedg. -
In May 80, the enemy came over in a large body through Elizabet town, & were met by the Connecticut farms by the Militia under Genl. Winds, when there was a fierce skirmish, they burned the Church & village & retreated. The Militia pursuing them through Elizabet town, landing from Staten Island, & were kept on guard duty to protect the citizens

Sir,
The papers in the case of Mrs. Mary Tuttle, widow of the late Captain Timothy Tuttle, deceased, have been examined and filed in this office.
The testimony recites five months' service in the grade of Ensign before the date of his commission, which must of course establish the date of that grade.
Some record evidence should be furnished of the grade of Lieutenant - and the copy of the record of marriage should be in words instead of figures.
Your abstract of the service, as disclosed by the witnesses, makes in some instances two hours of one, and in that way your estimate of the service is greatly overcharged.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your ob't serv't.

On a re examination of Mrs. Mary Tuttle's claim I find that a small increase of Pension is due her.

Commissioner of Pensions
Sir,
In pursuance of your letter to Mr. Ambron J. Tuttle of Harnon N.J. dated 17 th inst o . I herewith enclose the Declaration of his Mother Mary Tuttle, for an Increase of Pension.
At her advanced age (90 years) I could not ask her to enumerate her husband's service in detail - or to state the names of his officers. I presume the evidence of his rank & service, now on your files, & to which reference is made, will govern your decision.
It will be acceptable to her relations & friends, who are numerous & highly respectable to be informed in detail, the pay &c. allowed for the different grades of service, & the duration of service in each.
There was an old memorandum book, kept by the husband somewhat in journal form, on his expedition to Canada in 1746 - which will be found among the papers filed with the Declaration in 1836-7.
This memorandum - tho' imperfect & crude - his family will be glad to possess - if consistent with regulations - prizing it as a relic of the father.
It can be of no value to the government - whilst it gives them some idea of the hardships - hazards &c. encountered by the father.
Please notify me the result - in particular.
Very respectfully &c.

I enclose a communication received a few days since by my Mother Mrs Mary Tuttle with a request from her that you will examine the Papers on record and inform me whether by taking the proper steps the amount annually received by her may be increased — The Pension was received through the agency of the Hon. Lewis Condict of Morris Town whom I have consulted in this matter and he advised me to write directly to you, with permission to use his name and in the event of any addition to the original amount. He will come to Washington and settle the business for my mother.

Enclosed we send a declaration of the heirs of Mary Tuttle, late of New Jersey, decd, widow of Capt. Timothy Tuttle, who served in the revolution & for whose services his widow was pensioned, but as will appear by a letter from your Office of the 17 th of January 1851, the widow was entitled to an increase, In pursuance of that letter, the widow made & filed a new declaration the last of January or fore part of February 1851, No action was ever had on the papers then filed, they having been lost, and we have failed upon repeated searches for the last year to find them, The said widow died on the 5 th of June 1851, The heirs therefore now apply for the increase admitted to be due,
