I William Adams of Lisbon in the County of New London and State of Connecticut, aged 85 years, depose and say that I served in the Army of the Revolution, commencing on the 20th. day of May 1775 and served untill the 16th day of December 1775, at Cambridge, in the capacity of Sergeant of Maj r Johnson's Company, and I further depose that Ephraim Syon then of Canterbury now deceased, served with me in the same company, as our first Lieutenant, the full period of seven months and 16 days, commu- encing on the 8th. day of May 1775, and terminating on the 16th. day of December 1775. There is now before me a "Roll" of the company the names of all whom are entered in my own proper hand writing, as I was then the clerk of said Company wherein, is entered as follows — Viz — " Ephraim Syon. Enlisted May 8th " Discharged Dec r 16th. ————— 7 th 16 th d.

Before me Andrew Judson Judge of the United States for the District of Connecticut.

To the Hon. J. L. Edwards Sir,
You may recollect that in the winter of 1836, I carried to your Office an original Roll, sent to me by William Adams Orderly Sergeant of Maj: Obediah Johnson's Company, while at Cambridge in 1775 — that you wished to retain it, but as it was a paper then in the custody of John Johnson, a son of Col. Obediah Johnson, who wished it returned, it could not be left — You took a copy of that Roll , and probably you can find it. On that Roll, Ephraim Lyon was entered as Lieutenant .
The same original Roll, was before me when this witness William Adams subscribed and made oaths to the foregoing deposition, and is the same one to which he refers in his affidavit.
I cannot annex it to this deposition for the reason that John Johnson desires to retain it, for the benefit of others, in this vicinity.

I Daniel Frost of Canterbury in the County of Windham, in the State of Connecticut, aged Ninety Years on the sixth day of this present month, depose and say, that I was always well acquainted with Lieut. Ephraim Lyon, formerly of said Canterbury now deceased, and I am also well acquainted with Mrs. Lyon  Hannah Bradford who was married to the said Ephraim Lyon in the month of November 1783. I was present at their marriage, which was celebrated by Elisha Adams Esq. a Justice of the Peace. The particular day I cannot recollect but I know the month and year to be as above stated - her name before that marriage was Hannah Peck. After their marriage they live together and brought up a family of children, in my neighborhood. Lieut. Lyon died on the 23 rd 24 th day of May 1813 I was at his funeral and saw him interred. From the death of her husband the said Hannah Lyon remained the widow of the said Ephraim Lyon until the 15 th day of January 1823 when she was again married to John Bradford by Rev. Elisha D. Samuel I was present at that marriage likewise. The said John Bradford is now dead: he has been dead more than six years but the exact time I do not recollect of said Bradford's death. The said Hannah is now a widow, and has remained unmarried ever since the death of her said last husband. I often see her.
In relation to the services of Lieutenant Lyon, I depose and say, that I was frequently at Cambridge during the summer of 1775, in the business of riding Post to and from the Army, and always saw said

Saw there in the service of the Revolution; he served there in Maj t Obediah Johnson's Company in 1 st Regiment, a term of seven months and sixteen days.
Some members of the General Association, when Maj t Johnson's Company was organized. By that  in which a Field Officer was to take the command of the Company, and there were to be two Lieutenants to the Company. Immediately after, Maj t Johnson's Company was organized, and Lieutenant Lyon entered the service, as 1 st Lieutenant, and went to Cambridge.
Said Lyon also performed three other terms or time terms of service in the Connecticut Militia, or State Troops. But as I did not go with him or see him in the service, I can only speak of what was then understood and believed. All of these were as Lieutenants. One time was in Rhode Island the term of three months, about South Kingston and other places on the coast. One time was a term of about one month and a half, in General Spencer's expedition at New Port on Rhode Island. And the other  other was at Westchester in the State of New York. I had then much to do with the enlistment of the soldiers - and assisted in filling them away. In these three last mentioned terms Lieutenant Lyon went away with the men raised for the purpose, and when the service was over, he returned, and I am fully satisfied and verily believe the service was performed in these several terms, though I am not able to state the particulars in them. July 23 rd 1838.
Daniel Frost

I Nathaniel Luce of Canterbury in the County of Windham and State of Connecticut, aged 81 years, depose and say that I served as a private in the army of the revolution, and for that service I now have a pension. I further say that while in that service, I well knew Lieutenant Ephraim Dyer. The 2 nd year of the war, to wit, on the 1 st of September 1776, said Dyer entered the army of the Revolution and served as Lieutenant in the Company of Capt. Sherbiah Bulb, in the Regiment commanded by Col. Douglass. I served in the same Regiment, (but not in the same company) with the said Lieutenant Dyer, and knew him perfectly well. He served the period of three months from the 2 nd 1 st day of September 1776. During the same period also, the said Lieutenant Dyer performed the duties of Adjutant to said Col. Douglass. Regiment, and when the Regiment was paraded, it was always his business to do it.
Whether he had additional pay for that service I know not. Canterbury July 25 th 1838.
Nathaniel Luce

District of Connecticut ss. Contested July 29 th 1838 Personally appeared Daniel Frost Esq. and also personally appeared Nathaniel Sneed, who having signed the preceding affidavits, and each made oath to the truth of the facts stated in his Affidavit: I further certify that the said Daniel Frost, and Nathaniel Sneed are both credible witnesses. Before me Andrew T. Judson Judge of the United States for the District of Connecticut.

I Benjamin Smith of Canterbury in the County of Windham and State of Connecticut, aged 76 years last December, desire and say that I have from my youth been well acquainted with Ephraim Lyon now deceased. He was a Lieutenant in Capt. Buel's Company of the Connecticut Militia. And more early in the revolution he was a Scout in Capt. or Maj. Johnson's Company.
I am a pensioner of the U. S. but I never served with Lieut. Lyon myself. But as I always lived very near him, less than half a mile, I well knew that Lieut. Lyon left home to serve in the Army of the revolution several times. In 1775 he was absent about 7 months, and as I then understood he served at Oxburgh - In 1776 he was again absent in the service, and as I then understood was at West Chester. In 1777 I served myself, and the year after I came home, Lieut. Lyon left home for Rhode Island to serve as Lieut. This I know was in the Winter of 1778. How long he actually served I do not know - but remember he went away & returned. I understand he served as Adjutant. Benjamin Smith

I Jonas Cleaveland of the town of Tioga in the county of Tioga, & State of New York, do depon & say, that I was a soldier in the revolu- tionary army for the term of four years, and that I was well acquainted with Mr. Ephraim Lyon of Canterbury, in the county of Windham & state of Con- necticut, in which town I also resided; that in the year 1775 the said Ephraim Lyon was in General Wash- ington's army at Cambridge, Mass., and in the fall of 1776 he was in the army at White Plains, in the state of New York, & in 1777 he was in the army at Rhode Island. And further this deponent says that, as the said Ephraim Lyon was not attached to the same regiment to which he, the said Cleaveland, belonged, I cannot so clearly recollect in what capacity he acted, but I distinctly remember that when the said Lyon was an officer, & to the best of my belief he acted as an adjutant, & was a good & faithful soldier. And further this deponent saith not.

Dear Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim W. 17366, it appears that Ephraim Lyon enlisted, place not stated, and served in the years 1775, 1776, 1777, and 1778, entire length of service about thirteen months, as Lieutenant and Adjutant under Captain Sherebiah Butt, Major O. Johnson and Colonels Douglass and Obediah Johnson in the Connecticut Troops. It is also stated that he served as a Captain at the New London Alarm in 1781.
The soldier married November 13, 1783, Hannah Pearl, who was born in May, 1751.
He died May 24, 1813, at Canterbury, Connecticut. The date and place of his birth are not shown. His widow, Hannah, married January 15, 1823, John Bradford, of Canterbury, Connecticut, who died October 9, 1827, at said Canterbury.
She was allowed pension on account of the service of Ephraim Lyon on her application executed July 23, 1838, at which time she was a resident of Canterbury, Windham County, Connecticut.
She died July 19, 1846.
It is stated that they raised a family of children; the oldest child was born April 12, 1786. In 1850, it was stated that Leora Peck was the only surviving child of Hannah Bradford. No other names of children appear.

Chester Lyon, a son of the soldier, was aged sixty-three years in 1842, and resided in Canterbury, Connecticut. The name of no other wife of the soldier than Hannah is given.
The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to Thomas Osborne or Benjamin Arnold, as described by you, or to Barzilla Wilson.
Very truly yours
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner.
Inasmuch as Chester Lyon stated that Hannah was his mother-in-law and also his mother, I need "a son of the soldier".

I have been requested by Hon. A. F. Judson to call your attention to the case of Mrs. Hannah Madford late widow of Ephraim Lyon in the matter of her application for a pension. She resides in Connecticut and her last application was made in November last. An allowance was made her for the services of her late husband for 7 m 16 d . She thinks if you will refer to the testimony accompanying her first application made in 1839 you will be convinced too little time has been allowed. The witnesses are many of them dead and for that reason the testimony cannot now as then be obtained. May I ask your early attention to this matter

In the case of Hannah Bradford formerly the widow of Ephraim Syon the certificate of the Comp t establishes a term of 7 months 16 days as Lieutenant in 1775.
The 2 d term is set forth as 3 months from Sep. 1776 under Col. Douglass in N York. That Regt. was raised by special Act in June 1776 and marched early in July to N York where they were discharged about the middle of Decem r . The proof so ill corresponds with the facts of the service that it cannot be received.
The 3 d term of 3 months to R. I d under Col Johnson in Butts company from January 1778 is not borne out by the rolls of that Battalion. There was no Capt Butts in it. the term was 2 months after arrival in R. Island.
There is no term set forth as Capt. and the sum paid to Capt Ephraim Syon is not shewn to have been paid to her husband for military service. Whatever may be the purport of the

entry of any appointment in the Connecticut Line of the Continental Army it is very certain he did not serve therein.

I send you the new application of Hannah Bracy and the former wife of late Ephraim Lyons, who served as Lieut & Capt in the Army of the revolution.
Whatever she may have proved to your satisfaction, she will receive, and not claim any more than she has proved, upon this evidence.
In your letter to me of the a former date, you say that for the service in R. I she claims 3 months and proves only 1½ months. If that be so, you will of course allow her only 1½. The proof cannot be obtained here the witnesses are dead, since the former application. I send you all the evidence which the Comptroller could readily find on his books.

Sir,
Your letter of the 15. th inst. in the case of W m Hannah Bradford, formerly widow of Ephraim Lyon, du o has been received. She should make a new declaration as required in the enclosed printed sheet. Reference cannot be had at this time to the roll of Major Obadiah Johnson's company of Connecticut militia for 1775, to which you allude in your letter on file with the claimant's papers, and in the extract from said roll contained in the affidavit of William Adams, the rank of her husband is not shewn. It should be shown what evidence of the alleged service the public records at Hartford, Connecticut, contain. Three months service in 1776 under Capt. Sherebiah Butts is claimed in the expedition to Rhode Island, while the witness to that service alleges it to have been only one and a half months. Record evidence of the marriage should be produced if there be any.

In behalf of Hannah Bradford, I ask your attention to her application for pension, on file . She was the wife of Eph m Lyon, an officer of the revolution who died, and after his death she married John Bradford, and at the time of the application she was the widow of John Bradford, and of course fell within the decision heretofore made, that the applicant must have been the widow of the soldier or officer who served. By the late Congress, this disability seems to be removed. Please re-consider her case

District of Connecticut County of Windham } p. Canterbury
On this Twenty fourth day of October Anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and forty two personally appeared before the subscribing Judge of the United States for the District of Connecticut Hannah Brauford a resident of the town of Canterbury in the County of Windham and State of Connecticut, aged Ninety One Years, who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth, on her oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefits of the provisions made by the acts of Congress passed July 7 th 1838 and the 23 d of August, 1842, granting pensions to widows of persons who served during the revolutionary war that she is the widow of Ephraim Lyon who was a Lieutenant and a Captain in the Army of the revolution and served in both said capacities, as she verily believes, as follows. To wit, as a Lieutenant her said former husband Ephraim Lyon served from the 12 th day of May 1775 to the 16 th day of December 1775 at Cambridge and elsewhere in the 4 th Company in the 3 rd Regiment, which company was commanded by Maj t Obadiah Johnson. For the proof of this period of service making 7 months and 16 days, the Applicant refers to the testimony of William Adams and others now on file in the pension office at Washington, accompanying her former application three or four years since put on file, and in addition to that evidence she now refers to the certificate of the Comptroller of the State of Connecticut to be herewith annexed by the Judge taking this application.
The 2 d Term of service was performed by the said Lieutenant Lyon, and in that capacity, at Newbedford, Horse Neck or in that vicinity in the Company with Nathaniel Luce where testimony was only taken three or four years since, and with her former application was placed on

file in the pension office. This service in the former application is particularly stated, and the officers named, but since that time Nathaniel Duce is dead, and the other witnesses are likewise dead - it is impossible, without their aid to state more particularly this service, and refer to that application, and the evidence in support of it, and make the same a part and parcel of this, humbly trusting, that the commissionery will extend this indulgence to her, on account of her advanced age and numerous infirmities. She verily believes this period of service was three months.
Third. Term of service was performed in Rhode Island in the Company of Sherbick Butts Captain, in Spencer's expedition as sworn to and testified by the witnesses, whose affidavits are also on file, and referred to also made to the same. The witnesses there named are now all dead, and this part of the service must be sustained by the testimony taken while they were alive, filed as aforesaid.
4th. Term of service was performed by the said Lieut. Ephraim Lyon in the Continental Army under an appointment as Lieutenant in "The Continental Army" at the session of the General Assembly held in May 1777. And also an other appointment by the same authority, to the Office of Lieutenant in the "Continental Army" in Nov r 1777. These two appointments, in the Continental Army appear on the records of the Secretary of State at Hartford Connecticut, but the name of the Company and Regiment not being mentioned, your applicant

is unable to trace out the service, if any was performed under those appointments. She refers to the Hon. Commissioners of Pensions for the evidence, in his department, if any, in the support of this 4th term of service, and if none is there to be found, she knows not where to look for it, and until such evidence can be found she is content to let this remain undecided, so far as this 4th term is concerned.
5th. Period of service.
Ephraim Lyon served as captain of a company the name and number of which is not known to your applicant; neither can your applicant state the length of this period of service. All those who are supposed to have served at the same time are now dead, and all the evidence she can produce, will be the certificate of the Comptroller that "Captain Ephraim Lyon, Militia served at New London was paid £15. 6 specie". This certificate will be attached to this application and will, as the applicant supposes, be considered evidence of the service, as well as the length of the time.

The applicant will here recapitulate the services of her late husband Ephraim Lyon As Lieutenant - in 1775 - 9 th 16 days " Do evidence in former application $3.00 - Do. at Rhode Island, supposed to be 2.00 left for investigation the proof being in the department. Served in 1777 in the Continental army not known how much, left for investigation And the services as Captain to be computed by the Commission from the facts stated and proved in the Certificate of the Comptroller.

She also declares that she was married to the said Ephraim Lyon on the 12 th day of November 1783, that her husband the aforesaid Ephraim Lyon died on the 24 th day of May 1813; that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the 1 st day of January seventeen hundred and ninety four, viz, at the time above stated.
She further declares, that after the death of the husband aforesaid, she was married to John Bradford on the 15 th day of January 1823; that he the said John Bradford died on the 9 th day of October 1837; that she is still a widow
