Act 2 July 36

Comptroller's Office Connecticut. Hartford 21 May 1845.
On application for evidence of the service of Adriel Muntley in the war of the Revolution, I have examined the documents remaining in this Office, relating to that War, and find a paper headed "March'd from Lyme for the relief of Boston in the Lexington Alarm, April 1775," being a list of soldiers, among whom is the name of Adriel Muntley , who is stated to have been 29 days in service. Joseph Jewell is entered as Captain.
Also a paper headed "A Pay Roll of the 1 st Company of the 6 th Reg t raised by Genl. Assembly, Colony Connecticut May A.D. 1775" of which company Samuel Gale is entered as Captain, and Adriel Muntley as a private, and as having enlisted 11 th May, and discharged 19 th Decem r . — serving 7 months & 8 days.
In the Accounts of the late "Pay Table Office", Cap. John Ely is mentioned as of Parsons Reg t . And, Dec. 23. 1775 is, among other items in settlement, charg d "To cash in Treas y for his C o at Roxbury, Sagg. 16." And also a pay d to him by Genl. Washington.
In the same books is this entry: — "Cap. Martin Wirtland D r . To Cash advanced by C. Elsworth Esq. for gear C o of Col o  Nelcott's New London Reg t in their march with the Militia to N. Chester P o rect. Sep. 18 th 1776 £77.0.6." And from the acco nt it appears that he was in Douglas Reg t May 19. 1777 & after, & continued in service to June 6. 1778, as there are charges against him up to that period.
A Carrington Comptroller.
I also certify that I find these entries in the books of the late "Pay Table Office" —
1777 March 26. "United States — D r . — To D r Col o  M c Collum's Acco nt for 4 Companies of Col o  Ely's Batt n to reinforce G. Spencer at Providence — £3708.0.6"

State of Connecticut Middlesex County 3p.
I Joel Huntley of Lyme in New London County and State aforesaid aged Eighty Eight years being duly confirmed examined and sworn before and say that I was the brother of Adriel Huntley formerly of said Lyme now deceased, said Adriel was born April 5 th 1752. and in the month of April 1775. I cannot tell the day of the month said Adriel Huntley went as a volunteer to Lexington and I went with him as far as Norwalk Connecticut. The said Adriel was in a company commanded by Joseph Jewett now deceased. I don't recollect what Regiment. He served but one month before he enlisted for eight months into a company under command of Capt. Samuel Gale, he served this period nearly out and came home in the month of December 1775. having pre- -viously enlisted into a company commanded by John Ely Martin First Lieutenant Ensign for a year, and he told me he was promised a sergeant's berth if he would come home and in the space of eight days enlist ten men to go with him. He accordingly enlisted twelve men. The day after he came home, and on the eighth day he and they returned to the army at Roxbury. The enlisted men were Elkan Huntley, Abner Huntley, George Main Waring, James Tillotson, Silas Wood, Reuben Saunders, Jonathan Miner Guy McIntosh, Jonathan Huntley my brother, and the name of the other I do not distinctly recollect. but I think it was Charles Miner the brother of her that was Adriel Huntley's wife, now Lucy Steadman. Said Adriel served as a sergeant for the year. The other two men were Sylvanus Avery and James Tillotson. He commenced about the first of January 1776. at Roxbury in Col. Parsons Regiment and

and remained in that vicinity until April or May of that year when the Troops left and came by water I think to New London and said Adriel came home from New London and staid one night, and returned back to his Company the next day, of which Esquire Kirtland was afterwards made Captain in place of Capt Ely Promoted. From New London they proceeded to Long Island, and said Adriel was in the battle of Long Island on the 26 th day of August 1776. I was drafted in the Militia in Sept 1776. and on the 11 th day of that month I marched in Capt Abner Lord's Company, Col Ely's Regiment and joined the troops at Kingsbridge. My brother Adriel was then in Capt Kirtland's Company Col Sills Regt. and my brother Jonathan was also there, we were all in the same Brigade.
From Kingsbridge we went to White and had an engagement with the British, I was sick at this time, from thence we went to the Highlands. In December my time was out it being three months and I was discharged at North Castle. My brother Adriel and Jonathan remained until some time in the first part of January 1777. when they were discharged and came home. Said Adriel staid at home about a week and then enlisted into a Company of which Lee Lay was Captain, as a sergeant and went immediately to Providence and was under Col Ely and Lt Col McEllam to serve till first of April. Lucy Minor had a child which was born on the 19 th day of January 1777. of which she made oath that said Adriel was the Father, and the birth of the child was after said Adriel had gone to Providence, when he returned said Adriel was at home in January he told her Father that if the said child was born before the 20 th day of January 1777. he would own it and pay for it. After the birth of the child word was sent to said Adriel and he came home and was married to said Lucy Minor on Monday March 1 st 1777. being on a furlough he staid but one night, and
returned immediately to Providence to the Army and remained there until the first of April when he came home and was taken sick and died the 26 th day of February 1778. in Lynn where he had always resided. Said child which was a boy died many years since. Said Adriel was married to said Lucy Minor by William Noyes a Justice of the Peace as I always understood, but I was not present, being sick. Said Adriel and Lucy lived together as husband and wife till the death of said Adriel. Since the death of said Adriel said Lucy has lived near me and has been married to Jonathan Minard, Champlin Harris, and Benjamin Stadmans all of whom died before the first of January 1827. They were all well known to me. I never knew of any Record of my Father's family or of said Adriel's marriage. Said Lucy is now living near me in said East Haddam and is a widow and has not intermarried since the death of said Benjamin Stadmans which took place before the year 1827 and further saith not.

I Elnazar Tiffany of the Town of Salem in New London County & State of Connecticut aged Eighty three years having been duly cautioned examined and sworn depon and say, that when I was a boy I knew Adriel Huntley then of Lyme in New London County, and lived for several years within a mile of him, said Adriel was about my age - I recollect his joining the Revolutionary Army early in the War and went to Lexington under Captain Joseph Fawett, in the year 1775. and was in the service after this time almost all of the time to the time of his death - She said Adriel came home from the army and was married to Lucy Miner as it was reported. I did not see them married but saw them just on their way to Big Keyes to be married, and they afterwards lived together as husband and wife, and I have no doubt were married. After said marriage said Adriel returned to the Army in Rhode Island, and remained there I should say a month or more, and came home and was afterwards taken sick and died about one year after his marriage to said Lucy I think he died in 1777. but am not sure, nor can I state the day month or year of his marriage - That said Lucy died in East Haddam Sept 15. 1838. and that there is no child or heir of hers living except Lucy Phelps - That said Lucy Huntley after the death of said Adriel was married to Jonathan Miner, who died and was afterwards married to Champlin Harris, who died also, and was afterwards married to Benjamin Steadman who died twenty years since I should say, and since his death said Lucy remained a Widow to the time of her death, she always lived within two miles of me and I know the circumstances of her life well, but I cannot remember the dates of events - and further saith not.

That he left a Widow who was afterwards married to Jonathan Miner, Champlin Harris and Benjamin Stedman all of whom died many years since. I have always understood said Adriel and Lucy Miner were married before he the said Adriel left the service, but I cannot state the particulars of their marriage. I have not been much acquainted with the said Lucy and her family, but have always resided within a few miles of her, and have no doubt of her having been lawfully married to Adriel Huntley - and further saith not -

It is my impression that said Adriel did not live but a year or two after said marriage - Said Lucy was afterwards married to Champlin Harris, Jonathan Minard and Benjamin Steadman, all of whom died many years since. as I have always understood, not personally knowing the particulars about them - I well recollect of said Adriel Huntleys being in the service, and have no doubt but that he came home and was married to said Lucy prior to his leaving the service, I have often heard it so stated in former years by my mother and others and have never heard it questioned - Such I believe to be the general belief - Said Lucy was not married after the death of said Benjamin Steadman but continued a Widow to the time of her death, and further saith not

After making enquiries of her we called on Abel Huntley since deceased and said Palmer took his Deposition, and a few  two or three days afterwards said Lucy died suddenly before her Declaration was taken in the case.

I Anna Williams of East Haddam in the County of Middlesex and State of Connecticut aged Sixty Five years having been duly cautioned examined and sworn upon and say. That for more than forty years I have been acquainted with Lucretia Freeland, who now resides in Salem in New London County whose maiden name was Lucretia Huntley and who was the Daughter of Lucy Huntley who was reported to have been the Widow of Adriel Huntley who was a Soldier in the Revolutionary War. And for the same period I have known Lucy Phelps whose maiden name was Lucy Minard and a Daughter of said Lucy Huntley after her intermarriage with Jonathan Minard. And from the year 1800 I knew said Lucy the mother of said Lucretia & Lucy till her death in the fall of 1838. It has been the common report for many years that Adriel Huntley came home on a Furlough during the War of the Revolution and was married to said Lucy then Lucy Minard, and went back to the Army and served his time out and then came home and was taken sick and died a short time afterwards. Said Lucy the mother of said Lucretia and Lucy was reported and believed to have had four husbands whose names were Adriel Huntley, Jonathan Minard, Champlin Harris and Benjamin Stedman, the two last named I knew and both are dead, said Benjamin Stedman died more than twenty years since. The circumstances of said Lucy Stedman having had four husbands and their death before hers, and the circumstances of her life were such as to occasion a great deal of talk and considerable notoriety, but I never heard that her marriage to either of the four was questioned at all, but on the contrary I should say it was matter of universal belief as above stated. Said Lucretia Freeland and Lucy Phelps are the only surviving children of said Lucy Stedman or heirs at Law, and further saith not.
