Mrs Sarah Wyman Widow of Thomas Wyman dec

I, Sarah Wyman, of Roxbury, in the county of Norfolk and commonwealth of Massachusetts, aged 74 years. Being sworn to an oath testified, deposed, and saying that I am the widow of Thomas Wyman, late of Roxbury, deceased. That my late husband, said Thomas Wyman, performed several tours of duty as a private soldier, in the army of the Revolutionary War, of which I can give but a very imperfect description, as I was not married to said Thomas until after the termination of said war; and most of the circumstances related by said Thomas during his life time, are obliterated from my mind. I distinctly recollect of hearing my husband, said Thomas relate, that he enlisted and went into the army and after performing the term for which he engaged, he returned home to Roxbury, and in consequence of some little disagreement between himself and father he re-enlisted again for a further term of service which he performed. I distinctly recollect of hearing him relate, of crossing the Hudson river, on the ice, having a tin kettle in his hand, which he used as a seat, occasionally to rest himself upon. I also recollect of said Thomas saying he was in service at West Point, and elsewhere; the same year that Major Andre was hung. I always understood and believed that my late husband said Thomas Wyman engaged in the last 3 years service and continued in service until the fall of the year 1783. I distinctly recollect of hearing him relate, at that period, that they had a plenty of new Cider in the camp, and that the soldiers were very joyful on being discharged, amongst the officers General Heath shouted and cast up his hat into the air; but I am unable from memory to give any further

particulars. But from all the circumstances I can collect from my memory, and from traditional evidence, I am of opinion and do firmly believe that said Thomas Wyman my late husband served in the army as follows: 9 months in Colonel James Wesson's Regiment, during the year 1779 and 1780; also 6 months in Capt Job Sumner's Company of Colonel John Graton's Regiment, both Continental Troops, and 5 months in Capt Thomas Newcomb's Company of Massachusetts Militia, and lastly for 5 years, from 1781 until the fall of 1783; which last service, she is of opinion, might have been performed, in the 4 th Massachusetts Regiment, but of this she is not positive.
I further testify and say that I have selected from amongst the papers, ten receipts which are in the hand writing of said Thomas, my late husband; and left me at his death, for the purpose of comparing with the documents, found amongst the archives in the Secretary's office of this Commonwealth, for the purpose of identifying hand writings and the result has been transmitted to the department, in Mr Secretary Bigelow's Certificate; the same receipts will accompany this application.

Before me I Selene Judge of Probate

I, John Curtis, of Roxbury in the County of Norfolk and commonwealth of Massachusetts, in the 70 th year of my age, Being sworn to do an oath testify, deposed and saying, that I was born and brought up in the said town of Roxbury and was well acquainted from the earliest period of my memory with Thomas Wyman, Senior and his family, we were near neighbors together. Said Thomas Wyman had one son by the name of Thomas Wyman Jr. whom I should suppose was about 10 years older than myself. Said Thomas Wyman Jr. was a soldier and served in the army of the Revolution, by two terms, if not more, of which I can give no particular description. I can recollect of one incident related to me by the Father of said Thomas to wit, that his son returned from the army bringing a hunk of hard beef in his knapsack hard enough, if put into a cannon, & fired, would kill a man 80 rods; and he remarked, that he believed his son would not want to go again into the army.
I further testify in saying that Thomas Wyman Senior, never enlisted as a soldier, in the Revolutionary Army; had he done so I should have known it; as he was a near neighbor to myself and Father's family. I further testify that I never heard of any other Thomas Wyman, in Roxbury, or the adjacent towns, than the above mentioned. Thomas Wyman Senior, and Thomas Wyman Jr. John Curtis

Sir
I herewith return the papers of Mrs Hannah Lewis, widow of James Lewis, dec d & Mrs Sarah Wyman widow of Thomas Wyman dec d . In the former case it is found impracticable for the widow, or her connescions to give a more distinct account of her late Husbands service in the army of the Revolution than is contained in her Declaration, & the accompanying extracts from Dorchester Records. The alleged service in Col l Francis Regiment in 1776, to the Northward, is confirmed by the fact that said James Lewis, subsequent to the War, named one of his sons, Francis, out of respect He had for that Officer.
In the case of Mrs Sarah Wyman, widow of Thomas Wyman dec d , It is found impracticable to furnish any material evidence of Identification of her late Husbands Service, as the Rosebury Town Records are entirely silent as to the names of any persons who served in the Rev d . Army
However Mrs Wyman gives the name of a Mr Sylvannus Burrell now dead of Rosebury, whom she believes served in the same company and Regt. with her late Husband, in the last 3 Years service. The foregoing information & the affidavit of Mr John Curtis, is all the additional circumstances adduced in this case. Very respectfully sir I am Your Ob st Servt James L. Edwards Esq.

Sir
I respectfully solicit in behalf of the within named Sarah Wyman that, If it is found on an examination of the Rolls that her late Husband said Thomas Wyman served two Years & an half under one engagement in the Mass'ts line, that the Department will be pleased to make out a brief certificate of the fact, shewing the period & length of such service together with the names of his Officers. Should such a certificate be forwarded to me It will enable the widow to claim from this States the, State Gratuity of 50 Dollars; but without such certificate it will be impracticable

Sir
I transmit herewith authentic copies of original papers found amongst the archives of this Commonwealth, as further proof in support of a Five years pension by Mrs Sarah Wyman of Roxbury, widow of Thomas Wyman deceased. Said Thomas Wyman was believed to have performed several tours of Military duty in the Revolutionary Army, but so obscured were the particulars of his service that but one individual—Deacon John Clapp of Roxbury, was found living who could describe any one tour of the alleged service, and for that service, which was upwards of Six months in Capt Job Sumner's company of Col Greaton's Regt, the widow received a small pension. Subsequently further light has been thrown on the above case, by an overhauling of the old documents in the Treasurer's Office of this State, under a resolve of the General Court &c, and two original orders on the Treasurer for wages have been found, signed by Thomas Wyman, which signatures when compared with signatures on a number of papers selected by Mrs Wyman from amongst the papers left her by her late deceased husband, left not a doubt of their having been executed by one & the same person, and a Certificate of that fact, together with Mrs Wyman's papers were forwarded to Washington, accompanied by her pension Certificate. And the result has been the admission of one of the tours of duty specified by one of the enclosed copies, viz. that alleged under Captain Newcomb. But of the 9 months service in the 9 th Regiment, the Commissioner is not willing to admit, in consequence of a lack of satisfactory proof of Identity, which proof, of a similarity of signatures is the strongest within the reach of the applicant, at this late period; and she feels it to be her duty to insist upon receiving the benefit of the Nine months service, in question, unless the Thomas Wyman mentioned in the Commissioners letter to me dated April 20 th  last open appear to be from some distant part of this state.
Be pleased to present the accompanying papers to Mr Edwards, obtain his decision, & transmit me the result.

Dear Sir:
I am desirous of knowing my eligibility to membership in the Society of the American Revolution and have no papers or data which would prove that my great great grandfather Uzziah Wyman served in the American Army

except the testimony of my grandfather Nyman (now living) who says that he was and that a stone was erected on his grave with the inscription thereon, "A Revolutionary Soldier" Also I am told that his name was enrolled on the Pension list in 1818 but no date of enlist- ment or name of regiment was given. We think

he enlisted from Walpole or Westmoreland N.H.
I that possibly you could inform me as to the proper person to whom to apply.
I regret having  to take taken so much of your valuable time and thanking you for same I remain
