CONTENTS

I, Hannah Kendall of Derby in the county of Orleans and State of Vermont, aged seventy three years, depose and say, that at the time of the Revolutionary war I lived in the town of Ashburnham in the state of Massachusetts, in the same family with Jacob Kiblinger, who was a brother of mine and since a pensioner of the United States, the pension certificate granted to him in his life time now being in view before me, bearing date the seventeenth day of June 1833 and signed by John Robb acting Secretary of War; and though then in childhood, I well recollect my brother Jacob Kiblinger's return from the army of the United States; that he was married soon after at Ashburnham to Sarah Coolidge of said Ashburnham. I well recollect that at my Father's decease I was seven years of age; that his death took place in the month of April; that Brother Jacob brought his wife into the family immediately after; and that he was married a short time previous, I think one or two months but have not recollection of the exact period of said marriage further than above stated; that the said Jacob Kiblinger lately resided in Strafford, Vermont and died there about four years since; that his widow, the aforesaid Sarah Coolidge was still living in Strafford aforesaid at the time of the latest intelligence from that place, a few days since.
I furthermore depose and say, that I have this day examined a manuscript record of my Father John Kiblinger's family written originally in the German language and translated into English by my brother Jacob Kiblinger; Also a Record of my

brother Jacob's marriage and the birth of his children; that in it I recognized his hand the translation and the record of his own family I recognize the hand writing of my brother Jacob Kiblinger, having been familiar with his hand writing by a residence in his family for about six years after my father's death and by letters received from him since that period

Dear Sir
I have just recd from the Secy of State of Massachusetts the enclosed testimony in the case of Widow Sarah Kibbinger, widow of Jacob Kibbinger who is an applicant for a pension under the 5 years act and also the one year act. - It would seem from the Cer- tificate of the Secy of State that the Massachusetts Bonds are very defective and I hope these defects will not be taken a- gainst the Widow Kibbinger. whose husband Jacob Kibbinger drew a pension of $13.00 under the act of 1832 - and if the evidence now adduced is deemed insufficient to prove the whole of the Ser- vices for which Jacob Kibbinger drew a pension, she may possibly be able to prove his service from some living witnesses.
Best regards to all Friends John McSmith
