Declaration —
In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 7 th of July 1830, entitled "An act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows," State of Massachusetts,
Essex County } ss. on this fourth day of September in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and thirty eight, personally appeared before the Honorable Daniel A. White Esquire Judge of Probate for said County; Tryphena Lord a resident of Ipswich in the State and County aforesaid, aged seventy seven 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 7 th 1830, entitled "An act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows."
That she is the widow of Samuel Lord late of said Ipswich, who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War; He enlisted for one year in 1776 in Capt. Abraham Dodge's Company, Col. Moses Little's Regiment and performed service in said Company at Long Island, Westport etc., in New York. In 1777 he served 8 months in New York at Harlem Heights, White Plains, also at Morristown and other places in New Jersey in Capt. Ward's Company, Col. Little's Regiment. In the year 1780 he was a private in the Company of Capt. Benjamin Gould of Topsfield four months, stationed at Westport, Col. Ward's Regiment, at the time General Arnold deserted to the British Army. Reference to the Revolutionary Documents in possession of the War Department is respectfully requested, as your petitioner has good reason to believe that her said husband performed other terms of service than those above enumerated. She has no documentary evidence to offer in support of her claim to a pension.
She further declares that she was married to the said Samuel Lord late by the Rev. Isaac Fribbee on the 25 th day of April 1782. —
That her husband, the aforesaid Samuel Lord died in the city of New York in the year 1818, according to the best information she could obtain at that period. She has never heard any thing of him since that time and has no reason to believe that he is now among the living, and she has ever since remained his widow.

She further declares, That she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the first day of January, seventeen hundred and ninety four, viz, at the time above stated.

He was out in the service a good deal but I cannot now remember all the places where he was. his Widow has never married since he died. Daniel Smith
