State of Massachusetts Norfolk County ss;
On this twenty sixth day of March in the year Eighteen hundred and forty four personally appeared before the Honorable Sherman Leland Esquire, Judge of the Probate Court in and for the County of Norfolk, in the State of Massachusetts aforesaid
Mehitable M c Intosh a resident of the Town of Dorchester in the County of Norfolk and State aforesaid aged eighty four 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 Provisions made by the Act of Congress, passed July 7 th 1838 entitled "an act granting half pay and Pensions to certain Widows" and amended act of August 23 d 1842. That she is now the Widow of Gideon M c Intosh late of Needham but who resided at the time of his Death in the Town of Milton in the County of Norfolk and State aforesaid, who was a soldier in the War of the revolution and served according to the best of her knowledge and belief, in all upwards of two years, first he enlisted into Captain Patten's Company and served around the shores of Boston at the commencement of the war several months, the year she does not now know but she thinks it was in 1775 or 1776 in his father's regiment (viz) Col William M c Intosh as a private He also served in Captain Fuller or Captain Everts Company in the Regiment of his Father and did duty as a Private at Rhodestown in 1778. for some time, she does not recollect how long he served He likewise enlisted into Captain Moses Bullard's Company and did duty several months in the year 1780 - Also in the Company of Captain De Grasse in Col. Turner's Regiment he served several months in 1781 - also in some other tours she has heard him speak of before his death, she would respectfully call the attention of the department, to inspect the rolls in the pension office at Washington, to see if his name is not borne on some of the rolls with the Massachusetts troops as she believes there was no other person of that name who served in the Army for Massachusetts, as she should have probably have heard him spoken of except Col. M c Intosh and my deceased husband his son. my Advanced age and infirmities prevent me from remembering many incidents in the war related by him which if I could now remember would be good references to find his name on the rolls. He resided in Needham when he enlisted and marched into the Army, she further declares she was married to the said Gideon M c Intosh October 23 d 1783 at Needham
and the said Gideon M c Intosh died on the thirty first day of July 1824. He resided in Milton when he died was carried to Needham his native town and was there buried (in the request to the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for search of his rolls she states him of Dorchester which was a mistake of hers) That she was not married to the said Gideon M c Intosh prior to his leaving the service, but the Marriage took place previous to the first day of January seventeen hundred and ninety four at the time above stated - That she has not been married since the death of the said Gideon M c Intosh, that she is now a widow residing in Dorchester.
Mehitable M c Intosh
Subscribed and sworn to before me the said Judge, the day and year first above written. And I hereby certify that the said Mehitable M c Intosh, by reason of bodily infirmity is unable to attend before a Court to make her declaration.
S Leland Judge of Probate

And I further Certify, That, before search made for evidence of said facts, the application hereto annexed was filed in this Office, in the form in which the same now appears; that the search was made by myself and my clerks alone: and that said application and the certificate above set forth, contain all the facts and circumstances which tend to satisfy me of the identity of the party described in the application with the individual who rendered the service.
