I Shadduc Leonard of West Springfield in the County of Hampden Commonwealth of Massachusetts aged Seventy Six years, do testify before I say that I am a brother of Timothy Leonard late of Lansingburgh in the State of New York deceased. The said Timothy and his twin brother, Enoch, were about six years older than myself. They were both in the War of the Revolution several years, and for a considerable portion of their term of service were acting Commissaries of Issues.
My brother Timothy first enlisted as a volunteer in the service of the United States in this town, then a part of the town of Springfield in the year 1775, immediately after the news was received here of the battle of Bunker Hill. He enlisted for nine months, & marched with his company to Roxbury, near Boston in this State, where he served as a private or corporal, during the period of his enlistment & was honorably discharged & returned home. I do not remember the names of any of his company officers, but recollect distinctly of his enlisting for the period above stated & of his returning home after his term of service expired. George Blake of Springfield was in the same company & I believe was a Drummer; he is now a Pensioner.
After my brother Timothy's service at Roxbury he remained at home several weeks, but cannot state how long -

He next enlisted, sometime in the year 1876 as a volunteer in the expedition against Canada, & served, as I believe in the Company of Capt. Chapin, raised in this town & the vicinity & during this term of service, I think he was a Sergeant or some non-commissioned Officer, but as to his rank, am not positive. I cannot recollect the term of time for which he enlisted at this period; but will remember that he marched with his company in said expedition. I will remember also, that some months afterwards he was brought home from Niagarega sick of the small pox, to which place the Army, or a portion of it had retreated from Canada. My Father heard of his being sick at Niagarega & went for him; he came home on a furlough & after his health was in some measure restored he returned back to the Army, at or in the neighbourhood of Niagarega. He remained at Niagarega & the vicinity until the Army evacuated that place which I think was not a great length of time after he rejoined the Army on his recovery from the small pox.
After Niagarega was evacuated he came home & made a short visit, he then returned to the Army and as I have always understood was appointed Commissary of Issues, in which capacity he served three or four years. I know he was engaged in that service, as he was several times at home on short visits during the time. His service as Commissary was in the years 1877-1878-1879- & 1880- and I am

not confident that the war did not extend into the year 1781 - and during all this period of service I believe he was a part of the time at Albany, Tienderoga, along the North River & in Vermont - and wherever official business called him. -

On this seventh day of September eighteen hundred and thirty eight personally appeared before the undersigned one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in & for the county aforesaid, Mary Leonard, a resident of the town of Lansingburgh in the county of Rensselaer 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, 1838, entitled "An act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows". That she is the widow of Timothy Leonard, who was an Issuing Commissary in the Revolutionary War. That her said husband first entered the service of the Revolution as a volunteer, at Springfield Massachusetts, in the spring of the year 1775. He served during that year, nine months at Rox- bury, Massachusetts. In 1776, he enlisted at said Springfield in Capt. Enoch Chapman's Company, 8 Col. Woodbridge's Regiment, in the expedition against Canada. He immediately marched with the Army to Quebec, and was absent about the term of one year. During this period he served in the capacity of Sergeant. In the year 1777, he was appointed Quartermaster of a Regiment raised in the county of Hampshire Mass. under command of Col. Woodbridge. He served in this capacity but a short period, when he was appointed Acting Commissary of Issues, and acted in that capacity, in the State of New York at different posts, during nearly the whole remaining

period of the Revolutionary War.
She further declared that she was married to the said Timothy Leonard.
She further declares that she was married to the said Timothy Leonard, on the eleventh day of December in the year seventeen hundred and eighty eight; That her husband the aforesaid Timothy Leonard died on the twelfth day of April eighteen hundred and fourteen; that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the first of January, seventeen hundred and ninety four, viz. at the time above stated.
That she has no other documentary evidence of said marriage, except the family record hereto annexed, said which was contained in the family bible of the said Timothy Leonard. That the entry of her marriage with said Timothy Leonard, is in the hand writing of said Timothy; as are also most of the entries upon said record. That said family record, since the death of the said Timothy, has continually remained in her possession. and that she is now, and since the death of her said husband, has continually remained, unmarried.

Rensselaer County S p : Wilhelmus Ryckman of the city and county of Albany, being now in the seventy ninth year of his age, & being duly sworn deposes and says, that he was well acquainted with Timothy Leonard, the husband of Mary Leonard now of Lansingburgh in Rensselaer county, in the year 1779, and from that time during the remainder of the Revolutionary War. This deponent was an Ensign and a Lieutenant, during that period, in Col. Enoch Van Schaick's Regiment of the New York Line, and remembers well the fact that said Timothy Leonard acted as an Issuing Commissary from the year and during the year 1779 and during the remainder of the Revolutionary War. That said Timothy Leonard was, during a portion of that period, stationed in the city of Albany, and deponent thinks it probable he acted in that capacity at some of the Forts at the North, though this deponent from want of recollection cannot state positively as to that. His brother Enoch Leonard was also an issuing commissary during that period, and they both acted in the same capacity at the same time.

I Lemuel Clarke of West Springfield in the County of Hampden & Commonwealth of Massachusetts aged Eighty three years, testify, depose & say - that I was well acquainted with Timothy Leonard who was several years in the Revolutionary Army. Our first acquaintance was in the year 1776. We were both in Col. Woodbridge's Regiment in the expedition against Canada. He was a Sergeant in Capt. Enoch Chaplin's company; I belonged to Capt. Lyman's company, and now receive a Pension. The period of enlistment I think was for one year. Said Timothy was with me at Tuckermack & on our retreat from the Canadians and served as Sergeant as before stated. We retreated from Canada to Newburg & remained there most of the summer of 1776, except that said Leonard was absent for a few weeks on a furlough at home, on account of the small pox.
After this period of service said Leonard was appointed Commissary of Subs to General Warner's Brigade, & continued in that branch of the Service for some length of time. His service as Commissary commenced in the year 1777, and in the campaign of that year I was appointed & acted as his Clerk; but my service as Clerk, I think, did not commence till about the time of the surrender of Burgoyne. I relinquished the situation of Adjutant to which I had just been appointed for that of Commissary, Clerk under Mr. Leonard.

I was personally knowing to the Revolutionary services of said Timothy Leonard, both as a Sergeant & as a Commissioned Officer, during the years 1776 & 1777. And I have good reason to believe that he remained in the Service some years after, although I was not personally acquainted with the fact. And further I say not -
Samuel Clarke
Commonwealth of Massachusetts } Norfolk County } ss.
On this twenty eighth day of August in the year 1838, personally appeared before me the subscriber a Justice of the Peace for said County of Norfolk, Samuel Clarke above named & subscribed & made oath in due form of law to the truth of the foregoing Affidavit.
And I hereby certify that the said Samuel Clarke is a person of truth & veracity and that all his statements are entitled to full credit & belief.
Anna M. Cook, Justice of Peace

In reference to the certificate of Samuel Clarke, since the same was taken, a letter has been received from him, in which he speaks of his own service and that of Mr. Leonard in the Canada expedition, as being in the Regiment commanded by Col. Elisha Porter . This may be through inadvertence, or the affidavit may be mistaken. The Department will probably ascertain the fact from the rolls: The letter was not written upon this subject, but it was thought best to direct the attention of the Department to the variance.
