Lydia Marble Affidavit -

I, Henry Marble of Westborough in the County of Worcester & Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Esquire, being now eighty two years of age, do testify and depose That I enlisted Joseph Marble in the State of Rhode Island and into the Continental service sometime in the Spring of 1777. in the Company of Capt. Daniel Barnes of Marlborough, fif- teenth Regiment of the Massachusetts line, Timothy Bigelow Esq. of Worcester being Colonel of said Regiment, and that said Joseph Marble served three years in the same. Said Regiment was at the capture of Burgoyne's Army near Saratoga Springs. From thence it went to, and joined the Southern Army in Pennsylvania - and from thence to New Jersey and from thence to New York, and from thence to Providence State of Rhode Island and wintering there. From thence to Newport and other places.
And I further testify and depose that the said Joseph served three years in said fifteenth Regiment of the Massachusetts line. And I further testify that the said Joseph Marble was in and with the Army at and about West Point at the close of the Revolutionary War. The last amount of time that the said Joseph

was in the service I do not precisely recollect, but I remember well that there were only a few months between the first & last enlistment of said Joseph which last enlistment was discontinued by the expiration of the time for which he was further likely, that the said Joseph Marble was married in Brookfield in the County of Worcester aforesaid to Lydia Wood, Daughter of Asa Wood of said Brookfield, in the month of July, Seventeen hundred and Eighty Three. Said Joseph was a younger brother of mine.
