District of Connecticut Windham County ss. Canterbury.
On this 19th day of July 1838. Personally appeared before the subscriber, Andrew T. Judson Judge of the United States for the District of Connecticut, Phoebe Seach a resident of said town of Canterbury, County of Windham & State of Connecticut, aged 86 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 7th 1838, entitled an act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows. That she is the Widow of Jeremiah Seach, formerly of said Canterbury, who was a private in the army of the revolution and served therein as follows - viz.
1 st Term. The said Jeremiah Seach served at Cambridge in the State of Massachusetts in the 3 d Company of the 3 d Regiment raised by order of the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut from the 8th day of May 1775, to the 16th day of September 1775, making in all seven months and eight days. See the Comptroller Certificate, annexed.
2 d Term of Service.
The said Jeremiah Seach served a term of three months in Captain Chapman's Company, in Col. Tyler's Regiment, said company afterwards commanded by David Noyes of Norwich, in the year 1776.
The annexed paper, marked A. is in the hand writing of my said husband, and I know that it is a copy of a certificate given to my said husband in his life time by Capt. David Noyes, his initials being there affixed (D. N.). I suppose the original may have been sent to Washington. Said Noyes was my husband's Captain a part of the time in 1776. This service was rendered in the Connecticut State troops.
3 d Term of Service.
One year in the Regiment, of the Continental army commanded by Col. Samuel H. Parsons. The precise time I cannot now state. The annexed paper marked B. is in the hand writing of Judge Clark, now deceased, who was a Commissary in the Continental army, and knew my said husband.

For proof of the services rendered in the continental army, reference may be had to my husband's declaration on file. He was a pensioner under the law of 1818.
She further declares that she was married to the said Jeremiah Leach, on the 4th day of February  Novr. 1779, that her husband the aforesaid Jeremiah Leach died on the 12th day of April 1832; that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the 1st day of January one thousand eight hundred and thirty four, viz at the time above stated.

Sir
I have the Honor to Return the Papers of Sedidiah Leach, for Reconsideration and review, accompanied with proof of his service and circumstances — they were at first Rejected I conclude, because there was not any proof of either service, or reduced circumstances but his own Deposition.
I notice on the Back of the File, endorsed in pencil "not an Continental establishment" that Entry I conceive to have been made by mistake, the last Period of service, expressed in his declaration, is the service on which Mr. Leach relies — the regiment to which he then belonged, commanded, by Col o Parsons (afterwards Brig o Gen l Parsons) was one of the First Continental Army — the Depositions included herewith must I think be satisfactorily prove that fact, and that he is in reduced circumstances — the same proof would have been forwarded in the first place, had it been known what proof was required — on his behalf I request a review of his claim —

Sir
Your Papers have been returned from the war Department, negatived — I think there is some mistake — as the endorsement on the Declaration is that the Regiment " not on Continental establishment " Your Declaration states that you served in a Regiment one year commanded by Sam d H. Parson one year I am satisfied Parson's regiment was on Continental establishment — and have no doubt but the officers commissions were signed by the President of the United States — if you will supply me with Evidence of the fact, and that you served one year in that regiment, and are in reduced circumstances I will send on the papers again, — you must have two Witness's to your term of service and also to your reduced circumstances —
I am Sir
