Declaration,
In order to obtain the benefit of the 3 d section of the act of Congress of the 4 th of July 1836.
State of Maine p. On this twenty second day of July 1837 personally appeared before the Hon. Samuel C. Smith one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of the State of Maine, Hannah Hentoon a resident of Wiscasset in the County of Lincoln and State of Maine aged seventy four 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 July 4. 1836.
That she is the widow of Jonathan Hentoon, who was a private soldier in the Army of the Revolution, and that he enlisted in February 1777 for three years, in Capt. Israel Davis Company, who was broken soon after their arrival in Pennsylvania, and my said husband was then under Lieutenant Woodbridge, Col. Weggelworth's Massachusetts Regiment (said Woodbridge being then a Lieutenant in said Davis Company, & was afterwards promoted to be Captain), Gen. Glover's Brigade, Massachusetts line. Said Hentoon faithfully served out the three years aforesaid & on the 25 th day of February 1780 was honorably discharged. The said Hentoon made application for, and obtained a pension under the law of 1818. I have not got the Pension Certificate, I suppose that it was surrendered in after his death.
After the said Hentoon and myself were married we lived in said Edgecombe near my father's house, my brother

Ebenezer Chase was then living at our father's house, my sea husband soon after we were married went into the sea service against the British, and continued in that service pretty actively engaged with until the end of the war. I recollect that he went out in a vessel commanded by Capt. Cole and that she was a stout well armed vessel and took a number of vessels from the British. He also went out in an armed vessel commanded by my brother Moses Chase and cruised in her until the close of the war.
She further declares that she was married to the said Jonathan Huntton on — day of July in the year seventeen hundred and eighty one, that her husband the aforesaid Jonathan Huntton died on the thirteenth day of October 1832 and that she has remained a widow ever since that period, as will more fully appear by reference to the proofs hereto annexed.

I Jacob Smith Clerk of all the Judicial Courts within the County of Lincoln do certify that that the Hon Samuel E. Smith, whose signature is affixed & qualified to the above certificate is duly commissioned & qualified as a justice of the Court of Common Pleas for the State of Maine and is a justice of that Court in this County & all of the Counties in the State.

Jacob Smith Clerk.

I Ebenezer Chase of Edgecombe in the County of Lincoln, State of Maine, aged seventy one years, on oath depose and say, that Hannah Huntoon of Wiscasset in said County of Lincoln, the Widow of Jonathan Huntoon late of said Wiscasset deceased, a Revolutionary soldier, is my sister. Upon examining the Town records for the said town of Edgecombe we cannot find any record of their marriage, but we find their "publication" on record as having taken place July 8 th 1781. My sister's name was Hannah Chase, she belonged to Edgecombe friends, & said Huntoon then lived in Edgecombe also. I well recollect that I was at their wedding & saw them married. They were married by Moses Davis of said Edgecombe Esq. a Justice of the Peace for said County of Lincoln, and I feel quite sure that they were married as soon as they were " out published ", as it is called, which was & is now, after three public or religious meetings, in the town, so that I am confident they were married in July 1781. Previous to his marriage, said Huntoon had been out in the Revolutionary war as a "three year man", from 1777 to 1780, for which he drew a pension under the law of 1818.
After said Huntoon married as above mentioned, he and his said wife lived about 100 rods from my father's house. Immediately after he had thus settled he went into the sea service against the British and was out in private armed vessels nearly the whole of the time after he was married until peace took place. He went out with a Capt. Cole in a stout privateer & took a number of prizes, I had a brother on board the same privateer, & I recollect that he came home prize master in one of the prizes. While the said Huntoon was

was out with said Capt. Cole they attacked & carried a fort in the harbour of Liverpool, Nova Scotia, in order to get at a vessel under the protection of that fort. Said Huntoon was in active service against the enemy at sea until the end of the war.
Said Huntoon died at Wiscasset in October 1832. His widow the said Hannah Huntoon now lives in said Wiscasset and she has never been married since the death of her said husband.
I also further will recollect, that after said Huntoon left said Capt. Cole, that he (Huntoon) went out in a private armed vessel commanded by my brother Moses Chase cruising against the enemy. I will recollect of being told by said Huntoon & my said brother when they returned, how they were chased by a frigate in a gale of wind in the Bay of Fundy, this last cruise was very near, or about the close of the war.
