On the 11 th day of August A.D. 1832, personally appeared before the Court of Probate held at Norwich within and for the district of Norwich in New London County, a court of record having a clerk and a seal, Joel Hyde a resident of the town of Lisbon in New London County, in the State of Connecticut, aged sixty eight years, who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832. That he enlisted, according to his best recollection in the month of February or March 1781 for three years in the army of the United States, and served in the regiment of the Connecticut line under the following named officers. The regiment to which he was attached was commanded by Col. Sam- uel B. Webb of Wethersfield and Ebenezer Huntington Esq. of said Norwich was Lieut. Col. The name of the captain of the company he does not now recollect as he was not with the company much of the time while this declarant was in the service, one Brady was his Lieut.

and Benjamin Dimock of Ashford was his ensign and to whom he was a waiter. He was about seventeen years of age when he enlisted, and then was of Norwich where he was born in the year 1764. where his age is recorded. He was discharged according to his belief in the fall of the year 1783. having been in the service two years and half. After his enlistment, he was mustered at Norwich and marched from Norwich early in the spring 1781. under the command of ser- geant James Kingsley to a place on the North River called the Connecticut Huts. he was there, at West Point and at other posts on the north river the most of the time that he was in the service. He was in no pitched battle or engagement. He has no documentary evidence to show the time of his enlistment or discharge, and relies on the muster rolls of the regular army at the War Department. He does not now recollect any person living who was with him in the service in the company or Regiment to which he belonged except Gen l . Ebenezer Huntington of Norwich who will probably recollect that he was in the service as stated. He is also well known to Charles Fanning Esq of the town of Griswold in New London County who can state as to his being in the service as above stated.

I Charles Fanning of the town of Griswold in New London County State of Connecticut was aged eighty three years depose and say that I was well acquainted with Michael Hyde of Lisbon in said County formerly a part of Norwich in said County in the war of the Revolution and have known him ever since. and I well recollect seeing him while in the service, below Beekmantown on the North river in the year 1782. while he was a private soldier. and was encamped there. I well recollect he was in the regular Army but not being in the same regiment to which I belonged I can not say how long he was in the service. I have ever been acquainted with the said Hyde he having lived within one mile of me for more than thirty years and know him to be the same man who was in the service of the United States in the war of the Revolution and that full faith and credit ought to be given to his statement.
