State of New Hampshire Merimack ss.
On this third day of April in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty personally appeared before me Horace Chase Esquire Judge of the Court of Probate in and for said county of Merimack, Molly Long a resident of Hopkinton in said county of Merimack aged seventy six 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 . 1838 entitled "An Act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows,"
That she is the Widow of Enoch Long late of said Hopkinton deceased who was a private in the War of the Revolution; that she has good reason to believe and does believe, from that the said Enoch Long, at some period previous to or in the year 1776 entered the service of the United States in a company commanded by Capt Jonathan Poor, that Abel Chase and Nath l Little were Lieutenants of said company; that she founds her belief upon a document accompanying this her declaration marked A, purporting to be a List of Capt Poor's company which is in the proper hand writing of the said Enoch Long deceased, and which has always been in her possession since deceased, till annexed to the affidavit of Isaac Long; his decease, till annexed to the affidavit of Isaac Long; that she has not the means of ascertaining from said document, when his service in said company commenced, how long it continued, or where he served, but would respectfully ask the Commission of Pensions to examine the rolls of said Poor's company, now presumed to be on file in the War department, from Massachusetts.
That further declares that she has good reason to believe and does believe that the said Enoch Long in the year 1777 turned out as a volunteer in Capt Hale's party of Volunteers to fort Edward and was at the taking of Burgoyne, that she also founds her belief of said service upon three pages marked marked B. B. B. of a certain other document purporting to be the "Road from Hopkinton to fort Edw. by Bennington through N o 4 - Road to fort Edw by Heimbach and Capt. Hale's party of volunteers to fort Edw," all which is in the proper hand writing of the said Enoch Long and which has always been in her possession since his decease till annexed to the affidavit of Isaac Long, and that she fixes the year of said service from the circumstance that she frequently heard the said Enoch Long state in his lifetime that he was at the taking of Burgoyne, which she believes was in 1777 - but that she has no means of knowing from said document or otherwise how long he served but must refer to the records of said service in the War department if such may there be found and to such other evidence as may herewith be transmitted

She further declares that she has good reason to believe and does believe that the said Enoch Long on the fifth day of July 1779 enlisted into the Company of Capt Samuel Runnels in Col. Hercules Mooney's Regiment, that on the 21st day of the same July he began his march with said Company to Providence and arrived at Providence on the 26th of the same July, continued in the service till the latter part of December of the same year, and arrived home on the 18th of January 1780; that she founds her belief of the time of his enlistment upon an paper purporting to be "A pay abstract of Capt Samuel Runnels Company in Col. Hercules Mooney's Regiment from the State of New Hampshire from from Aug 1st to Aug 31 st inclusive 1779" marked C., which is in the proper hand writing of the said Enoch Long and which has always been in her possession since his decease till annexed to the affidavit of Isaac Long; and that she founds her belief of the term of his last mentioned service upon the document before referred to, three pages of which are mentioned as marked B.B.B. and annexed to said Isaac Long's affidavit, certain portions of said document showing among sundry other circumstances, dates and remarks, the date when he left home, and when he arrived home; to which document she respectfully refers as the department for a careful, particular, and interesting, examination, which is all in the proper hand writing of the said Enoch Long, and has been in her possession as before stated; a part of said document being in characters which she is not able to decipher.
She further declares that she has no documentary evidence in support of this her declaration other than than what she has already referred to, together with the testimony herewith transmitted and would again refer to the records in the war department hoping and believing, if evidence can then be found to prove further services of the said Enoch Long, that the same will be allowed her.
She further declares that she was married to the said Enoch Long on the twenty second day of January one thousand seven hundred and eighty four; that he the said Enoch Long died at said Hopkinton on the sixteenth day of January one thousand eight hundred and seventeen, that she was not married to him the said Enoch Long prior to his leaving the service but that the marriage took place prior to the the first day of January one thousand seven hundred and ninety four, to wit,

at the time before stated.

My Dear Sir.
This accompanies in the application of Molly Lang, widow of Enoch Lang, deceased, for a pension under the Act of July 18307- 1 st It will be seen by the affidavit of Moses Lang, that the said Enoch Lang was a Volunteer at the time of Lexington battle, was out a week or more at that time. Also that he was out in Capt. Poor's company in the same year. (1775) to guard the sea board south of Boston - and it appears by his own memorandum annexed to Isaac Lang's affidavit that he was in Capt. Poor's company in 1776 because he noted the death of Tristram Bartlett in 1776 on said memorandum -
2 nd . That in 1777 he was one of Capt. Hales company of Volunteers to fort Edward - a list of the company in his own hand writing - and towns through he passed from Hopkinton to fort Edward and back to Hopkinton, on three leaves of said memorandum, around which three leaves I have placed a narrow strip of paper, affords strong evidence that he was one of Capt. Hales company at that time & place. Major Andross affidavit shows that to be three months or more. a number of Hillsborough names are on Lang's list of Hales company.

3 d He was also in the War of the Revolution at  of  the  at Rhode- -island in Capt. Saml. Pennells Company, in 1779. as will be seen by the affidavits of Josiah Chandler & Daniel Coates. Also the abstract pay roll of Capt Pennells Company, stating the particular day in which every man enlisted into said Company, it will appear that the said Isaac Leary enlisted on the 5 th day of July 1779. and that he arrived home - to wit - Hopkinton V. St. as will be seen by his diary, which is annexed to Isaac Learys affidavit, on the 10 th of January 1780 - Making 6 Mo. & 13 days.
The Marriage is proved by extract from Church records of Hopkinton -
The death of Isaac Leary is proved by affidavit of Isaac Leary & that of Moses Leary. Also that she is living & remains his widow -
I am aware that it will require some patience to examine the diary annexed to Isaac Learys aff t , but it will be found that the declaration taken by Judge Chase, is completely supported by it. It is expected that the roll of Capt. Poor's Company South of Boston in 1775 & 76 is in the Massachusetts papers. Inclose herewith a letter from Mr. Homer of the pension office Boston to show that fact -
Should any further proof or explanation be necessary, please inform me.

Should a certificate be granted, it may be inclosed to me -
In great haste. I am Yours out Senate 20 26 -

I have also often heard my Brother say that he served six months at Rhode Island in Col Mooney's Regiment but had no personal knowledge of that service as I was at the same time in the service at and about West Point - I further depose and say that

that my Brother Enock Long died in Hopkinton many years since, I should think more than twenty years since, that he left a Widow Molly Long who is now living in Hopkinton & that she has not since been married - I further depose that when my Brother went to Lexington & to Roxbury he was resident of Newbury Ms. & that whatever service he afterwards performed was after he moved to Hopkinton N.H.
