In this second day of September A.D. one thousand eight hundred thirty five, personally appeared in open court before the Hon. Thos. Burnside & his associates Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of said County, Isaac Webb a resident of Day Township in said County aged seventy four years who being first duly sworn, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832
That he cannot precisely say in what year he was born, that he was born in Stamford Fairfield County Connecticut, and had a brother the next older than himself who he has heard was born on the fifth day of March 1760 That in the year 1775 in the month of July, to the best of this declarants recollection, he then residing in the town of Stamford, entered as a private in Captain Evan Shipmans company of Connecticut Troops in Col. Chas. Webb regiment, then being about fourteen years of age - and marched to Boston. That in the Spring, in the month of March 1776, to the best of his recollection he went out with the troops on their road to New York, and accompanied them as far as Stamford, where, Col. Charles Webb, the declarants father gave him leave of absence, and he did not join the army in New York, he then until the month of July, where he remained till the first of November 1776, when he obtained leave to return home. In the Spring of 1777 he had the small pox and did not rejoin the army. Nor did he serve with any regular force during this year or the following 1778, but remaining at home at Stamford was engaged just one half his time in doing voluntary duty as coach and town guard & repelling the inroads of the enemy from Long Island & New York, and was in several warm engagements with the enemy during these incursions in one of which fifteen men were killed -
In the month of March 1779 this declarant entered a company commanded by Captain Asa Bell and stationed as a town guard at the towns of Stamford and Greenwich. The company was raised to serve

one year from the first of January 1779, and this declarant says the first of March took the place of one George Trinbley & served out his time till the first of January 1780. During this time Captain Bells company had several skirmishes with the foraging parties of the enemy, one of which this declarant particularly remembers, in the town of Stamford in which three of Capt. Bells men were killed & one wounded, and one of the British taken prisoners, being wounded.
That in the years 1780 & 1781, he had the fever and ague & remained at home in Stamford, but was engaged a number of times in repelling the foraging parties of the enemy - and on one occasion, he was with a party that captured a Gun boat from the enemy.
In January & February 1782, to the best of this declarants recollection & belief, he served a two months term under Captain Samuel Lockwood at Greenwich and Norristown, during which time he marched with Capt. Lockwoods company to Morrisania, West Chester County New York and captured several British officers, after a firm resistance after setting the house on fire the company retreated and the officers on their return by the enemies horse.
In the month of July 1782 this declarant was drafted under Capt. Amos Smith of the Connecticut Militia, and was attached to a command under Major Lawrence at Stamford doing duty as a guard at Greenwich & Stamford & repelling the incursions of the enemies foraging parties from New York. That he entered on this duty about the first of August, to the best of this decla- rants recollection & remained on duty until the news of peace in the Spring of 1783. In the month of April to the best of this declarants knowledge & belief - That he never rec d a discharge, but at the expiration of his several terms of service he was permitted to return home - That after the war he remained in Stamford until December 1801, when he removed to the town of Milton in the County of Saratoga, New York and lived there till the year 1813 when he removed to his present residence in Say Township, Clearfield County Penn a where he has re- mained ever since. That there is no Clangman in his present neighborhood, but that James L. Gillis Esq. and

Honorable L. J. Dickinson United States Senate Washington, D.C.
My dear Senator:
Reference is made to your request for information in regard to Isaac Webb who was born at Stamford, Connecticut, and served in the Revolutionary War.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, W. 4851, based upon the military service of Isaac Webb.
He was born in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut. He stated that he could not give precisely the year in which he was born but believed it was 1761 as he had a brother (name not given but was living in 1833) next older than himself who was born March 5, 1760.
While living at Stamford, Connecticut, he served as private with the Connecticut troops as follows: from July 11, 1775, until December 18, 1775, in Captain Edward Shipman's company in the regiment of his father, Colonel Charles Webb; from July, 1776, until November, 1776, under his father, Colonel Charles Webb, and marched to New York; from March 1, 1779, until January 1, 1780, in Captain Jesse Bell's company; from January or February, 1782, two months in Captain Samuel Lockwood's company; from July or August, 1782, until April, 1783, in Captain Amos Smith's company.
He lived in Stamford, Connecticut, until December, 1801, when he moved to Milton, Saratoga County, New York, and lived there until 1818 when he moved to Jay Township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania.
Isaac Webb was allowed pension on his application executed September 2, 1835, while living in Jay Township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania.
He died in Jay Township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, on May 11, 1840.

This soldier married October 2, 1791, at Stamford, Connecticut, Mary Weed. The marriage was performed by Charles Webb, justice of peace. It was not stated that this Charles Webb was related to Isaac Webb.
As the widow of Isaac Webb, said Mary Webb was allowed pension on her application executed May 19, 1848, while living in Greene, Trumbull County, Ohio, aged seventy-six years.
In 1848 Angeline Morehouse, a resident of Greene, Trumbull County, Ohio, aged thirty-six years, stated that she was the daughter of Isaac and Mary Webb. In that year one Eli Morehouse, Junior, was living in Greene, Trumbull County, Ohio, relationship not given.
The papers in this claim contain no further data relative to the soldier's family.
Very truly yours

Sir
On the 3 d of June last I forwarded the application of Mrs Mary Webb for a pension on account of the Revolutionary services of her husband Isaac Webb decd. I presume the great press of business has prevented the case from being acted upon but I am informed that Mr Webb is now confined to bed by the palsy and if the matter can be decided so as to let her use the money now it will be of great importance to her. I therefore respectfully ask, if it can be done, that her case be taken up & decided upon

In August 1846 I was in Washington City and called on you in relation to the application of Mrs Mary Webb, then a resident of Clearfield County in this State (Pennsylvania), widow of Isaac Webb dec d , who was a Revolutionary Pensioner, for a pension. Having obtained the necessary information I wrote to the Town Clerk of Farmfield Com t & procured the inclosed certificate of Mrs Webb's marriage, but before I prepared her declaration & according to the act of Congress the rules adopted in relation to applications for pensions. She removed to Trumbull County Ohio. This winter she renewed her application to me to endeavor to procure her pension & by the mail of last evening I rec d the inclosed declaration & proof of identity, which I trust will be satisfactory.
Will you please send me copies of the blank forms &c, as presented for the settlement of volunteer & other claims under the recent acts of Congress in relation to the Mexican war?

Sir The certificate recently forwarded to you by Mr Brown, the Treasurer, from the records in this office, was in behalf of Isaac Webb, a claimant. His Attorney, Reuben C. Hale of Lewisburg Tenn, made application for the certificate, and wished it to be forwarded to you direct, instead of being transmitted to him - that he might save the postage. Mr Hale was, until very recently, residing at Bellefonte, Pennsylvania.
Mr Webb, resides in that vicinity, but I know not whether in the County of Clearfield or Centre.

Your favor containing an abstract of the Pension laws relating to widows pensions has been duly recd. I wish to trouble you with a further inquiry viz Will it be necessary for Mrs Webb to make any proof or declaration of the services of her husband in the Revolutionary war, or will it suffice to prove that she was married to Isaac Webb, that he is dead & that she still remains unmarried?
I was employed by Isaac Webb to procure his pension and succeeded in doing so. The particulars of his service I cannot recollect - His declaration & the proofs connected therewith are on file I presume in your office.

Lewistown before 26 th Dec
A necessary absence from home prevents my receiving your letter of the 5 th inst. until yesterday - I saw the difficulty that must attach to the case of Isaac Webb at the time of taking his declaration - And I am surprised to have him explain his services so fully, but from his being dead I found it very difficult - Our communications were all in writing to him, and many of his answers. - On referring to the latter I find in his own hand-writing the following speaking of a nine months term of service in 1779 at Greenwich - under Captain Iose Belle he says "As did as (before) before I sailed from 1 st March 1779 to 1 st January 1780 that regiment the company belonged to I do not know, I found the company there & they always remained there The commander of the regiment it may be that it was Col. Wells, but of this I am not sure - There was a French officer came there & put us on what was called La Ligne  the and made us make Sachines for fortification and we had to make so many a piece and kept us at it nearly four months where he came from & where he went to I never

know, but I suppose he had authority for doing so or he would not have attempted to have done so merely from his own responsibility. And when the service was terminated we was discharged with thanks. There was not any written discharge given to know one and an invitation given by the officers to serve another year to those who would.
"I was actually engaged with the enemy and after them more often out than when in the regular army had regular duty of and on regularly but 5 years of the war, I was chasing them from time to time, no cessation. Their invasions was almost every night."
I have written all I can think of. I am exceedingly unwell. My head is out of order. 55 years & upwards is a long time to retain in memory, a sufficient time to tell."
The old man could not specify his services, his recollection from the invasions very numerous, it would be impossible to list services as guard was regular duties and the extra duties whenever an invasion of the enemy or a threatened invasion called for them.
His active services. Those on which he was actually engaged on duty are all that he would claim for pension for. These would be all the time when in the regular army, and then on coast guard duty such a length of time as from

may think proper. If you can grant the certificate upon the proof that is granted, making whatever allowance for coast guard duty you think right. I think it would be as well to do so. As I particularly questioned the old man, and his answers were, the time is so long I cannot remember more fully. I was on duty almost every day - sometimes every day for weeks &c &c -
If you can allow for say the half the time claimed as coast guard the certificate will be accepted - -
The old man lives about ninety miles from here in the wilderness - I do not expect ever to see him unless I go expressly for that purpose & it will take two three or four weeks to hear from him - but I have full power as his attorney to act for him as above

Sir
Enclosed I send the application of Isaac Webb for a pension. The old man has been endeavoring to attend Court for several years, but the almost impassability of the roads & his ill health, have hitherto prevented him; — I have taken an abstract of the services set forth in his declaration, in order to procure the certificate of the Comptroller of Connecticut, as his services appear to have been performed almost altogether in that State. I expect to receive the certificate, in the course of a week or ten days, and will forward the same to you, or, perhaps, the Comptroller may forward it directly to Washington.

Honorable Gilbert N. Haugen, United States Senate.
My dear Senator:
In response to your letter of the second inst. and the enclosed letter of Mr. Henry McSweeney of Westgate, Iowa, I have the honor to advise you, that this Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution, unless a claim for pension, or bounty had has been made on account of his services and a careful search of the records fails to show claims on file on account of the services of Daniel Webb, of Stamford, Connecticut, who was born March 7, 1750 and died December 22, 1832, and of Charles Webb, Junior, of Stamford, Connecticut, who was born in October 1750 and died June 4, 1780, or of any Charles Webb, except the one, whose record is herewith furnished.
It appears that Charles Webb of Stamford, Connecticut, out, who was commissioned Colonel on January 1, 1777 and served until June 1, 1778, was pensioned at $18.75 per month on a certificate which was issued October 4, 1788, on account of his being disabled by a rupture, while in service.
See letter re change Chas Webb. Dis. no number.

There is no further data on file in this claim, as to service and no data at all as to family.
From the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 4851, it appears that Isaac Webb was born at Stamford, Connecticut, in 1731 and while living there, he served as a private in the Connecticut Troops, as follows:
From July 11, 1775, to December 18, 1775, in Captain Edward Shipman's Company, in the regiment of his father, Colonel Charles Webb.
From July 1775, to November 1775, with his father, in the troops, in New York.
From March 1, 1777, to January 1, 1780, in Captain Jesse Hall's Company.
From January, or February 1783, for two months, in Captain Samuel Lockwood's Company.
From July, or August 1782, to April 1783, in Captain Amos Smith's Company.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 3, 1835, while living in Jay Township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania and he died there May 11, 1840.
He married October 3, 1781, at Stamford, Connecticut, Mary Weed and she was allowed pension on her application executed May 12, 1848, while living in Greene, Trumbull County, Ohio, aged seventy-six years. They had a daughter, Angeline Morehouse, of Greene, Ohio aged thirty-six years in 1848. It is not stated whether they had any other children.
Soldier stated that his next oldest brother was born March 5, 1780, but did not give his name.
Very truly yours,
WINFIELD SCOTT, Commissioner.
