State of Connecticut County of Fairfield ss 13 Bridgeport On this 22 nd day of May A D 1837. personally appeared before the Court of Probate within and for the District of Stratford in said County and State aforesaid. Anna Mallett a Resident of the Town of Stratford in the County & State aforesaid aged 79 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 th 1836
That she is the widow of Lewis Mallett late of Stratford who was a private in the Army of the Revolution. That said Lewis at the commencement of the Revolutionary War Resided in the Town of Milford in New Haven County State of Connecticut and entered the service of the United States at said Milford in the Autumn of 1775 according to the best of her knowledge & belief in a Company of State Troops on a Militia foot of Connecticut in Capt. Benjamin Hynes Company of said Milford (cannot say what Regiment) and served in or near New York in this Campaign at least Three months. And in the next year Enlisted in said Milford for 6 months in Capt. Samuel Pecks Connecticut State Troops of said Milford and March from Milford to the City of New York and served there at least Two months & half until he was taken sick in New York and had liberty to go home to said Milford cannot say what Regiment Capt.

Picks company belonged to, and makes this statement in Relation to her husband's service partly from the Deposition of Mr. Miles Mallett of said Milford who was own brother to her husband, and from her own Recollection & what she has heard her husband say in Relation to these 2 campaigns which took place before her Marriage but she resided in the same Town of Milford, at the time he served.
That from her best knowledge & belief, said Lewis went with the Militia Company of said Milford to Danbury & Ridgefield in Connecticut in the Spring of 1777 when said Danbury was burned, after hearing of this service but who commanded the said Militia company she cannot say, but claims he served in said Militia Company at this time at least a month.
She also remembers of hearing him tell of his being in service some where near the North River and was quartered among the Dutch people but who he served under and in what year or how long he served in this campaign she has no means of ascertaining - refers to the Deposition of Miles Mallett to prove this service & claims it to be at least six weeks - 1777. And she further states that after she was married to said Lewis they came from said Milford to reside in the Town of Fairfield at a place called Mutton Lane on the Line Road that divides the Towns of Fairfield & Stratford in said State on the West end of the Harbour then called Nudfield now called Bridgeport Harbour where Gards were stationed during the War that she and her husband removed from said Milford to said Fairfield in the time of the Revolution before the Town of Fairfield was burned; cannot remember how long before said Town was burnt after they removed.

That after they removed from S d Milford to S d Farmfield as aforesaid her husband commenced service in Lieut John Odell's company of Conn. State guards which company was stationed at San Mutton Lane in the Town of Farmfield on Long Island Sound, where she said Lieut John Odell boarded at their House while in this term of service That she was well acquainted with S d John Odell during the Revolution and after, remembering Major Aaron Hawly going the grand rounds at the time her husband was in service in S d Farmfield. To be of the Guards was on duty remembering Lavina Star and Mabel Rose both of which resided neighbours to her during the Revolution used to come & sleep at her House for company when her husband was in service the guard some times one & some times the other - thinking this service was soon after they came to reside in Farmfield has no means of ascertaining the year but fully believes it was between the Spring of 1778 & the Spring of 1780. That this term of service was at least three months.
That from her best knowledge and belief her husband enlisted in the beginning of the year 1782 into Lieut William Hall's company of Connecticut State Guards which Guard was stationed at Newfield & Wells Forge (said New- field is now called Bridgeport) in the Town of Stratford on Long Island Sound and served at least four months under said Hall. and that her husband served the principal part of the time after he came to Farmfield in the Connecticut

State Guards that was stationed at New Bedford & Mutton Lane & Wells Forge during the Revolution but cannot now state for sure any more of his service in said Guards but fully believes that her husband served more than two years in said Guards but as the people who served with him are all dead it is out of her power to make proof of his service any further than the service she has before named -
That her husband was born in the Town of Milford aforesaid May 3 1756 and died at said Hanford January 14 1825 of the gravel
That said Anna was born in said Milford March 5 1758
has a record of both of their births on her Bible at home & of his death & has a record of their marriage on a loose piece of paper & births of their children on the same said Anna was living in said Milford when first called into service as aforesaid & lived in the Town of Hanford as aforesaid until he died and said Anna continues to reside in the same place
Thinks her husband's service was as a volunteer & by draft has no documentary evidence to prove his service does not know as he ever had any written discharge cannot state grammatically officers under whom he served any further than she has before named - all his service was as a private soldier - said Odell & Wells Guards were regular organized companies and always understood they belonged to Col Samuel Whiting's Regiment Genl. Goddard's Connecticut Brigade -

And she would further states her husband was in service at least one Week in 1779 when the Town of Guilford was burned in the Militia company of the Parish of Stratford, remembering she left her house what back into the County and said white said Lewis was in service, thinks he was out in the Militia company at this time at least one Week cannot say who commanded the company at this time

Dear Sir I have Recd yours of the 22 Feb. communicating the final result of the review by the Com ee of Pensions in the case of the Widow Emma Mallett as no further increase can be allowed in her case I see no other way but to accept of the Com ee 's Proposition for the term as you mention of about 9 months the first certificate was granted for 8 months as a private Soldier you do not say whether the addition is to be as a corporal The proof is beyond a doubt that he served as corporal in one Tower in 1777 in Capt. Bryant's Company Col. Joseph Morgan's Regt. which proof is found by referring to her last Declaration containing a copy of the Roll of said Company where Lewis Mallett's name stands as a corporal on said Roll Therefore you will please accept a new certificate for the term proposed of about 9 months as a private & corporal
P.S. please obtain the certificate in season to draw the Pension June the 4 th of Jellout 1841 if practicable Yours very Respectfully Barn Sherman

Fairfield October 26 th 1837
Sir
In compliance with the request of Isaac Sherman Esqf. who is the clerk of the Court of Probate for the District of Stratford, I herewith forward to you the additional declaration of Anna Mallett, with several affidavits, in support of her claim to be placed on the pension list list .
In your letter relative to this claim it is intimated that Lieut. William Hall was not in service after 1781. That the fact is otherwise is proved by the accompanying affidavits of Thomas Brothwell & Elijah Burritt. Besides, in the case of Dorcas Wordin, an allowance was made upon full & conclusive evidence of her husband's service, under Lieut. William Hall in the year 1782.

The documents in the two cases seem to prove, beyond all reasonable doubt, that in the year 1782, a company of guards was, in service under Lieut. William Hall.
"To the term under Capt. Berynes it is objected" you say "that there is no evidence of such service, at the time, as that described". For the purpose of removing this objection, the old lady has made an explanation, in her supplemental declaration & the annexed Miles Mallett's affidavit. has been thereto annexed. It is hoped they will be satisfactory. You have doubtless been informed that in the latter part of the winter or early in the spring of the year 1776, a body of troops was ordered & moved to New York from the western part of the State of Connecticut. In the case of Ebenezer Banks, according to my recollection, an allowance was made, for not less than two months service there,

as an Ensign, under Col. Silliman, at that period. Can the statement of Miles Mallett that the first term of service performed by Lewis Mallett "was in cold weather & took place "between the month of October 1775 & "May 1776" and that he "thinks it was un- "der Capt. Samuel Pick" be reasonably doubted? If then the fact that the service was actually performed be satisfactorily proved should the indiscreteness of the aged applicant's recol- lection, regarding the officers under whom his husband served & the precise time of the service prevent the allowance of that part of his claim?
That a large number of troops were drawn from Connecticut, in the summer & autumn of the year 1776, for the defence of New York is undoubtedly true. On examining the nu- merous claims for services, at that period, I presume you will find that the terms of service stated & admitted have not generally been less than two months & a half. It is also believed to be a well authenti- cated fact that troops marched from Connecticut to the "North river" in the autumn of 1777, & that they were in service about six weeks. Will the inability of the applicant to state the names of all the officers, under whom his husband served justify the rejection of either of these terms?

In making an allowance for the service of three months, under Lieut. John Odell in 1778 there does not appear to be any objection.
In a note to me Mr. Sherman expresses a wish that I will "request the Commissioner to allow as far as he is satisfied with the proof," and remarks that he does "not see as it is possible to get any more proof". Under such circumstances, the claim of the old lady is submitted in the hope that the several terms of service, as stated in her original declaration, on file, to which as well as the documents herewith transmitted, I ask your particular attention, will not be so reduced as to make the aggregate of her husband's service less than one year.
In consequence of the advanced age of the applicant & the delay of her application, your prompt action on her case is respectfully desired.
With great regard, I am your obedt Servt.

Sir
I have shown your recent note, in relation to Anna Mallett's claim, to Isaac Shermain Esq., at whose instance I brought the case to your consideration. As you have been "unable to discover evidence sufficient to justify the Department in allowing for more than eight months service" and as he is not able, at present, to furnish any additional evidence, in the case, he has authorized me to inform you that, in behalf of the old lady, he desired you to issue a certificate for that period

of service, agreeably to your proposition. But is there not sufficient evidence to justify an additional allow- ance for the term of service performed, by Lewis Mallett, in 1776, in Capt. Puk's company?
I am very respectfully, your obedient Servt. G. Pomfret

1. Does your Letter meet the whole claim - according to my recollection, she claimed an addition of some 9 or 10 months - please see if there is not a term of service overlooked in your Letter decision - 2. on what ground is the proof of 4. mo. service in Lieut. Hall's Company deemed unsatisfactory? 3. any compromise with Gov. Tomlinson ought not to affect the new proof as he could have compromised only upon the old evidence -

Dan Sherman Justice of Peace

State of Connecticut County of Fairfield ss Providence. On this 16 th day of November A D 1840. Personally appeared before the Court of Probate within and for the District of Providence in said County & State Anne Mallett a resident of the Town of Fairfield in said County, who being first duly Sworn according to Law doth on her Oath make the following Additional Declaration to her former Declaration in order to obtain a Pension Dated May 22 1837, under which Declaration She has been allowed a Pension at the rate of $26.66, per Annum, for services rendered by her late husband Lewis Mallett after he removed from Milford in the County of New Haven to Fairfield, as her papers at Washington will shew, and at the time said Pension was granted all the services claimed by her in said Declaration as having been performed by said Lewis Mallett in the early part of the Revolution before he removed from said Milford was rejected for want of sufficient proof. Therefore she now respectfully solicits a review of said rejected proofs of service including the service of John Williams in said Revolution, as further proofs are herewith presented, and for which purpose she herewith, returns her pension certificate and requests that she may have a new one granted covering all the services her said husband will justly entitle her to receive under the act of July 1836.

She now wishes to correct her former Declarations by stating the terms of service which she fully believes he performed in the Revolution for which she has not been allowed a Pension
viz. at least 3 months in Capt. Samuel Peeks Company of Infantry at or near Brooklin on Long Island State of New York commencing 1 st of January 1775. being the same service which she stated in her first Declaration as having been under Capt. Benj. Hysne, and is also the same service for which Judiah Stowe of said Milford has been allowed a Pension whose Deposition is hereto annexed which together with Miles Malletts Deposition accompanying her first Declaration. She hopes will prove satisfactory Evidence for this term of service. She cannot state what Regiment this company belonged to but states it was the same company in which said Stowe served with her said husband and therefore refers to his said Stowes Pension Declaration at Washington for all other requisitions.
The 2 term of service is the same as she formerly stated in Capt. Samuel Peeks Company in the Summer of 1776 at New York wherein she claimed that said Lewis Enlisted for 6 months & was taken sick & left the company having served at least 2 1/2 months. She now corrects that statement by adding that said company belonged to Col. William Douglass Regiment of Connecticut State Troops and for the

evidence to prove the same She refers to the Military Roll of said Company and Pay Table Books accompanying the Pension Declaration of the Widow Anne Bull of Milford State of Connecticut, who has lately been Pensioned for her husband's service in this campaign and requests that she may be allowed for this campaign what she is justly entitled to as will appear by said Military Roll & Pay Table Book, on which will be found the name of her said husband Lewis Mallett.
The 3 rd term of service for which she now claims was performed by her said husband in the fall of 1777 at or near Pukskill in the State of New York in Capt. Jehiel Bryant's Company of Infantry as a Corporal at least 31 days as is proved by a copy of the Pay Roll & Military Roll of said Capt. Bryant's Company in Col. Joseph Thompson's Regt. Connecticut Infantry Militia Troops hereto annexed. (Probably this is the service rendered near the North River in 1777 is one & the same mentioned in her said Declaration, as being under Capt. Boyer or Capt. Mallett, as proved by Miles Mallett.)

4 th term
That she verily believes said Lewis Mallett performed one term of service in said Town of Milford at a place called Burrows Farms in said Town of Milford — Capt James Davison's Company of Connecticut Coast Guards either as a private or corporal of said Company between the years 1776 & 1779, has always understood from her said husband Lewis Mallett that he served in the Revolutionary War at said Farms but she did not at the time of making her Declaration make any claim for that service as she could not then make any positive proof of said service nor can she now prove it unless his name can be found on the Roll of said Capt James Davison's Company which she has been informed has been sent to the Pension Office at Washington with some one of the of the Pension Declarations of the following named persons who have been Pensioned under Act of June 7. 1832 who were Pensioned as Residents of the Town of Orange & said Milford in the County of New Haven State of Connecticut. To which Declarations she Respectfully requests the Com t of Pensions to refer to find said Roll and if it should appear by said Roll that said Lewis performed service that she may be allowed accordingly. The names of the Pensioners referred to are as follows viz John Bryan of said Orange, Elmer Sanford, Elisha Clark, Jedediah Stowe, David Smith Oliver Bryan Samuel Parnell & Jehiel Bryan of said Milford. together with Miles Mallett of said Orange who is a Brother of said Lewis & is the same whose Dispositions accompany her former Declarations.

Also remembers that Aaron Beardsley was

in said Guard & served the same time with Defendant. whose Widow has been allowed a Pension for said Service, doing not know of any person now living except himself that is now living that served in said Guard with him, but remembers Robert Hawley of Trumbull in said County served with Defendant in said Guard who has also been Pensioned for that Service and for which his Widow Mary E Hawley now draws a Pension Also remembers Samuel Leable, John Cook, Thomas Cook, Christopher Wiloby, who have been Dead for several years, together with Francis G Willis & Gassalus French.
