Rachel Sogee

State of Rhode Island
County of Providence

Verily that she is the widow of Abner Looze formerly of said Burrillville who was a soldier of the Revolution that during said War he was frequently called away from home & served as a private & was gone a month at a time but she cannot specify the time or place, or his officers name, except one left Winsor. She well remembers he was gone a great deal of the time & she had the business of the farm to attend to & often had to do his work on it. She must therefore refer to the evidence of those who were knowing to his services for specifications thereof

And she further declares that she was married to the said Caleb Logee on the fourteenth day of March A D 1776 she was married in Smithfield in said County but she has no record of her marriage she was married by Daniel Cramstock Esq a justice of the Peace whether her marriage is recorded or not in the Town Clerks office in said Smithfield she does not know. It appears from the family record in her Bible that her eldest child Comfort Logee was born February 23 d 1777, & she knows & well remembers he was here in the February after her marriage, and about eleven months after, And she further declares that her husband the said Caleb Logee died Sept 23 d A D 1825 aged 69 years & two months & that she has remained a widow & unmarried ever since wherefore she requests that the same pension which he was entitled to may be extended to her
