State of Connecticut } W. Middletown. County of Middlesex }
I Harvey Treadway of said Middletown being duly sworn depose and say that I am sixty years old, that I am the brother of Josiah Treadway who married Ranaooke, as stated in the certificate of the Town Clerk of said Middletown hereto annexed; that said Josiah Treadway removed to Sharon in the County of Litch- field in said State. I always un- derstood that he served in the Rev- olutionary War. He died about twenty years ago, as near as I can remem- ber, leaving the said Ranaooke his wid- ow. I have heard the said Josiah Treadway relate events which oc- curred, while he was in the Revolu- tionary Army, and particularly his

sufferings on board the prison ship, and I verily believe that the Josiah Headway mentioned in the certifi- cate of the Comptroller of the said State as having served in Col. Sam- uel B. Webb's Regiment, is the same Josiah Headway. Harvey Headway

George C Whiting Esq Sir
I herewith transmit to you further evidence of the Claim of Mrs Treadway for Bourn- Land. The Marriage of the parties was being so long ago and the age of Mrs Treadway at this time renders it difficult to obtain the most satisfactory evidence in relation thereto. Mr. Hornbostel J d who knows Mrs Treadway and lives in that neighborhood I employed to obtain such information as could be got. His affidavit is also attached to the rest of the papers. Please give this claim your earliest attention
I am Yours Respectfully A W Bateman
