Before me J. C. Talbot Judge of Probate
I Elizabeth Spear widow of Samuel Spear deceased of Boston in the County of Suffolk & Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in the Eightieth year of my age. Being sworn do on Oath testify depose & say that I was formerly well acquainted with Anthony Shoppe, and with Phebe his wife, whose family name was Phebe Spear, sister to my late husband. said Anthony Shoppe was a German by birth and one of General Burgoyne's soldiers of the Hessian Troops; and after their capture said Anthony entered into the American Army and served therein until the peace. during said service said Anthony was badly wounded, which wound I always understood was at first pronounced by the Doctors to be incurable, this I only know by common report. said Anthony came to Boston after his Discharge & recovery, I took up his residence in a family by the name of Fellows, where he continued to serve occasionally as a driver and other employments for several months. I cannot remember how long, during which time he contracted an acquaintance with the above mentioned Phebe Spear, who was at service in the same family with himself, to whom he was lawfully married by the Rev. Mr. Howard.
Said Anthony & Phebe Shoppe and their family removed at an early period to the State of Maine where the said Anthony & Phebe continued to reside until their death. They had a numerous family some of whom are dead.
During his lifetime said Anthony frequently came to Boston to draw his Invalid Pension. sometimes his wife Phebe came and drew it for him, which I understood was 60 Dollars per ann. I frequently saw and conversed with her on her occasional visits to her connections in this city & vicinity, when she came to draw her husband's pension. said Anthony died in Maine, but at what particular period I cannot remember. His wife Phebe, I understand died at New-Borough during the present year.
