Dear Sir
I am sorry, very sorry to trouble you so often, and so much, but your last certified copy of the date of the birth of the Stephen Lambling children is not considered sufficient - the Court says - "The certificate of the Town Clerk of Cornwall is defective. He does not state the period the entries upon the records in his office, relating to the births and deaths of Stephen Lambling's children, appear to have been made - This defect should be supplied" Will you please copy the said records upon this page, or upon the other page of this half sheet, supplying the defect; please then turn this sheet inside out & direct the whole sheet to me, and send it to you, that it may bear the post mark of your place as well as ours -

A. J. Sir - In your letter you say that a former certificate from me was defective the defect, if any where, is in the record; which I find, like all the old records in this Office, of marriages, births & deaths, does not state when the entries were made.
I have copied the record verbatim et litteratim - All I can ascertain in regard to the time the record was made is, that it is in the hand writing of Judge Linsley who was town clerk from the year 1784

to the year 1818 - & from the fact that the book in which this record is found, was commenced in 1785 - & finished in 1792 - the first 250 pages being occupied with deeds & the last 50 pages, with marriage banns, & deaths. In haste Yours Respectfully M. D. Porter

Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the Act of Congress passed July 4 th 1836, and the other several acts in relation to Pensions. That she is the widow of one Nathaniel Cogswell, deceased, and was formerly the widow of Stephen A. Tumbling, deceased, who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, that the said Stephen A. Tumbling first enlisted or entered the service about the first of May of the year 1775, that he was then living in Lancaster in the State of Massachusetts, that at that time he went from that place to Roxbury, Massachusetts,

when he entered the service of the United States for a period of six months, which as she verily believes he regularly served out. that according to her best recollection and belief, he then enlisted in the  and served in the Continental Service, but it might possibly have been in the State service or in the line of the State Troops, of all Pennsylvania, that according to the best of her recollection and belief, he enlisted and served during that term under a Captain Isaac Warren of the town of Lansboro rough aforesaid, but she cannot recollect the names of any of the other officers under whom he then served, that she formerly knew, but has forgotten their names of many of them names, that she distinctly remembers he then entered such service for the said term of six months, and was about the full term, and understood during all that time and ever afterwards understood and believed by her to have been engaged fully & regularly served out the same period as aforesaid; she remembers that her son Stephen at Tumbling went out a little distantly on his journey with him when he started upon his said term of service. and Mary  She further saith that her said first husband the said Stephen at Tumbling deceased, also enlisted and served at two and she thinks three other times afterwards in the service of the United States during the Revolutionary war for periods of two months at each time, but whether in the Continental line or in the line of the State Troops of Massachusetts she cannot recollect, but believes in the Continental line, and that he fully served out such periods of enlistment, but she is

unable to recollect any of the officers under whom he at any time served, or the particular places where he performed such service, but thinks that the said first or period of nine months was performed at and about Roxbury, and near Boston, and that one of the said and other periods of service and she thinks the second, he performed partly or wholly at White Plains, and while during or in some time in the course of that term of service he was an orderly sergeant, in his company, that one of the said terms of two months service was at Boston & during which he served as Drum Major, that he went to Brimington as a soldier at the time of the Brimington Battle, but thinks he was not engaged in that battle nor in any other considerable engagement during his terms of service, that from age and infirmity she has lost the recollection of any other events or circumstances of the service of the said Stephen A. Tumbling deceased, as well as nor the names of any other persons who served with the said Stephen A. Tumbling deceased, except she thinks but is not positive that one Joseph Mrazek served with him during his said nine months term, then living in Southborough of course, but she believes he is not living now if living, she added do not and she further saith that she knows no documentary proof of any of the said service then on no papers of the said Stephen A. Tumbling deceased, relating to his said service or tending to prove the same, but all such papers she believes were lost or destroyed at or soon after the time of his death, being apparently useless, his death happening before the time of the Pension Acts

applicable to such service and the said Mary further saith that about the year 1777, she with the said Ste- phen A. Tumbling deceased with their fam- ily removed to Richmond Massachusetts, where they resided during the remainder of the war having resided at Sandwich aforesaid during the preceding part of the war was that at the close of the year they removed to Cornwall in the County of Adelson in the State of Vermont where he and herself resided until the time of his death which was on the 16 th day of November 1810, at Cornwall aforesaid.

He saw the soldiers of the com- pany, but they were not paraded till after he left to return home, and he does not recollect the Captain's name. Tho' he thinks it was Wassen as stated by his said mother. That this was the first period of his father's service. That he always understood he enlisted for nine months and served out that full period, performing most or all the service at or near Roxbury. That he

well recollects when his father came home from that service in the fall he fired off his gun as he came up to the house. The said Stephen A. Farnbling for himself further saith that he recollects of his father going out into the army afterwards in the course after war. Two or three different times, at short periods of about two months at a time, that he went over to the White Plains, and that he was in the army at the time of the battle of Bunker Hill, but he was not in the battle as the deponent always understood from his said father having been drafted out to guard the stores. That this deponent was old enough to recollect many things which took place at that time, that his father told many incidents which occurred while he was in the army after his return home, and he well remembers having his father say that he had served some time in the army as drum major and some time as orderly sergeant, but how long he does not remember. And the deponent Emily Daggett for herself saith that she has often heard her said mother tell the name of the clergyman who married her and her said father, and she thinks the name was Ingersoll but she is not certain. She further saith her said father and mother had a record of their ages, and the ages & deaths of their children in a bible, but that her said sister Anna Johnson of Lockport carried the same away with her when she moved to Lockport. That she, the deponent, copied the record into her own bible before the said Anna went away, and

She verily believes her said mother has given her age & other dates correctly and the said Stephen also says he has a record of his the age, death &c of his father's family and believes his said mother has given dates correctly and the deponents all say that they always understood & believe that their said father & mother were lawfully married as stated by their said mother, that they always understood she was married a few days before she was sixteen years of age and that their said father & mother lived together as husband & wife from the earliest period of their recollection until the time of their father's death as mentioned by their said mother. Their deponents all recollect of their father having a bundle of letters and papers which were at some time destroyed and that among them they understood were letters sent home by their said father while in the army, and the said Stephen saith he will recollect his mother receiving letters from his said father while in the army, and particularly her receiving one letter from him informing her of his being sick. They further say that they do not know of any person living who was in the service with their said father.

Dear Sir, I received your letter of the 26 th of Oct. and have taken some pains to ascertain the facts you wished: the Oldest man among us, and formerly a father of the Town, a man of influence and occupying almost all the Offices of the Town, has been consulted, but cannot remember the name of Stephen Tamlins, altho' he recollects distinctly all the others named in your letter, our Fathers of the Revolution have all passed away. There is not an individual in Town I presume to say that has any recollection of the fact. I have searched the Records, I find in the year 1779 at the annual Town Meeting a man by the name of Stephen Tamlins with 6 other respectable inhabitants were chosen hazzards, I find no record of his age, nor any of his services nor of any other fact except as above stated.
Yours Respectfully
William Parsons Town Clerk

Salisbury Oct 24 1848 Dear Sir
I rec d your line of the 14 th and have attended to your wishes to the best of my knowledge - and would say I cannot find anything satisfactory for you.
The Town records show the name of Stephen Tumbling as being a resident of this Town at the time you name - but the names of the men going into the service cannot be found - I have delayed your answer in the hope of finding out something by the aged men here and I can find but one that knew him and he can say nothing in regard to his services. There is one man here Mr. Amos Pettibon that went into the service but he knows nothing of Mr. Tumbling - The records give the name of Stephen Tumbling - but his age is also not - his wife's name was Mary - They had a daughter born Mch 26. 1765 named Mary - A son born Sept 30 1767 - named Stephen A - A son born Aug 18. 1770 named Lemuel A daughter born Jan y 5 1773 named Pamela - A daughter born Dec r 23 1774 named Emily - The above is all the facts I have been able to collect and would say it is cheerfully given.
Very Respectfully Yours M c C. Warren Town Clerk

Secretarys Office, Boston. November, 14 th 1848.
Sir,
I have to inform you that the name of Stephen Tumbling is signed to an Order of Capt John Wrights Company for Coats. This order is dated "Roxbury Camp, November 2 1775." His age is not given upon any roll which bears his name.
