FREEMAN JUDD W. 21500 BA-J/MLB
Dear Sir:
The data which follow in regard to Freeman Judd were obtained from pension claim, W. 21500, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
Freeman Judd was born in that part of Waterbury, New Haven County, which was later Watertown, Litchfield County, Connecticut, August 10, 1755. The names of his parents were not given. His father died in 1777. Freeman's birth was recorded in the town records of Waterbury.
While a resident of Waterbury, Connecticut, Freeman Judd enlisted April 25, 1775, with two brothers, Daniel, and Eben W. Judd, the latter aged fourteen years, under Captain Benedict Arnold, soon appointed colonel, served as private under Captains Trowbridge, Hanchett and Smith, and Colonels Wooster and Benedict Arnold in the Connecticut troops. Freeman and Daniel Judd went on Colonel Arnold's Expedition to Canada and were in the siege and fall of Quebec and were discharged about June, 1776. He enlisted in July, 1776, at Waterbury, Connecticut, served as sergeant in Captain Couch's company, Colonel Bradley's Connecticut regiment, and was discharged in January, 1777, at Philadelphia. He enlisted in April, 1777, served as sergeant in Captain Peek's company, Colonel Reger Enos' Connecticut regiment, and was discharged in March, 1778. He volunteered in June, 1778, served as sergeant in Captain Matthews' company, Colonel Richards' Connecticut regiment and was in the battle of West Chester. He and his brother, Eben W. Judd, enlisted in the summer of 1779 and served about six weeks in the same company and regiment as preceding tour during which he was in the battle of Norwalk and present when that place was burned by the British. He again volunteered in the fall of 1779, and served a tour of three months as sergeant in Captain Catlin's Connecticut company, stationed at Horseneck. He enlisted in March, 1780, and served as recruiting sergeant in Captain Stoddard's company, Colonels Bradley's and Swift's Connecticut regiments at different places during

the greater part of 1780 and 1781. He enlisted at Pompton near Morristown, New Jersey, the latter part of 1781 but hired a negro whom he had purchased to substitute for him the remainder of the war.
After the Revolutionary War, Freeman Judd resided in Norwalk, Connecticut, Schoharie County, Catskill, and Harpersfield, Delaware County, New York, then again in Schoharie County, that state, and in 1818 moved to Erie County, Pennsylvania.
Freeman Judd, while living in Erie County, Pennsylvania, applied February 15, 1820, for pension on account of his service. His claim was allowed. In 1832, he was a resident of North East, Erie County, Pennsylvania. He moved to Niagara County, New York, about 1838, and died there March 5, 1840.
Freeman Judd married September 7, 1786, in Norwalk, Connecticut, where he was employed as a carpenter, Deborah Bouton, a resident of that place. They were married at the home of Deborah's brother, name not given, and his wife, Sarah Bouton, who was still living in said Norwalk in 1843.
Deborah Judd was allowed pension on account of the service of her husband, Freeman, on her application executed July 24, 1843, at which time she was aged "seventy-three years and upwards" and living with her son, Alfred B. Judd, in Lockport, Niagara County, New York. She died in 1845, exact date not stated.
Freeman Judd and his wife, Deborah, had a family of ten children, three of whom died before they were grown. The names designated in the claim as those of children were:

Wolcott's regiment at New Haven and marched to Boston and did duty while there then entered upon the wilderness days with every other walk several days march to Quebec Montgomery fell joined Capt. Smith's Co.
not long after my coming home I enlisted in Capt. Cook's Comp. Col. Brattle's Regt. for seven months was considerably delayed back I went to New York and joined the regiment on the Jersey side and did quartermaster's duty sometime for my brother then went into the Carpenter's business which saved me from being taken with the regiment at Fort Washington was with General Washington in the retreat and in several campaigns and was discharged at the end of my enlistment at Philadelphia in 1777
in the following Spring 77 I enlisted in Capt. Cook's Comp. Col. Eno's Regiment a Sergeant for one year and was soon detached back into a Sergeant's duty in the west part of Connecticut and on the Hudson River and was in several campaigns and was discharged at the end of the enlistment at Norneck Connecticut with a Sergeant's furlough in 1778
The remainder of 78 and 79 I was considerable part of my time exposing provision to the army and in Melishy and Laramy was in Norwalk both Connecticut the 9th of July 1779 when the British and Tories burnt that town a day to be much remembered by me for the unseen hand of God in saving my life for of all the dangers I had passed in five years this was the greatest I was more than fore horses close to their line in the hottest part of the battle where I had near one hundred fair shots at the British and Tories two times I was nearly surrounded and singly shot at from a distance near fifty times I received an impression three times an went out my musket once I had two balls through my hair and cap

as yet I have never had any pay but some continental money in the off I paid a large sum in 1782 for my negro not long after peace by a judgment obtained in New Haven costs against me by the old owner of the negro

E. W. Judd appt — In the matter of Freeman Judd —

I Elen M. Sudd of Middlebury in the county of Addison and State of Vermont aged about 66 years testify and say that my brother Freeman Sudd now of the town of Northeast in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania aged about 74 years, formerly belonged to Waterbury in the county of New Haven, in Connecticut — That at the commencement of the war with Great Britain, soon after the battle of Lexington in April 1775, he enlisted as a soldier in Capt. Benedict Arnold's company, and soon after joined the company under Lieut. Hobridge at New Haven — soon after, marched and joined the army in the vicinity of Boston
Capt. Arnold being appointed Colonel, an expedition was formed for Arnold and his regiment to march thro' the wilderness to Quebec — My brother continued with the regiment thro' the wilderness and was in the action on the 31 st Dec r . 1775, when Montgomery fell and Arnold was wounded, as this Dept. verily believes from information rec d . in the winter 1775 & 1776 from his brother and others —
My brother Freeman Sudd continued attached to the army at this time till the last of May or first of June 1776 when he returned to Waterbury
In the summer of the year 1776 my brother Freeman enlisted again as a soldier and joined the army at New York in Col e Bradley's regiment A part of the term he served as quartermaster and a part

a part as carpenter - he returned home in the winter having been attached to the army at this time about six months -
In the spring of the year 1777 my brother Free- man enlisted again as a sergeant in Col. Ennis regiment in the corps termed the years men - He was stationed part of the term at New Haven and East Haven in Connecticut, and part of the term at the Fishkill & Poughkeepsie near the Hudsons river He returned to Waterbury after his term of enlistment had expired in the winter of 1778 - having served at this time about ten months -
In the years 1778 & 1779 my brother performed several tours of duty in the Militia - In July 1779 he was at Groton in Connecticut when that town was burned by the British troops - was in the most exposed part of the action that day for several hours -
In the year 1780 he enlisted into the Continental Army during the war, in Capt. Stoddards Company When he enlisted it was understood he was to have had a Lieut's commission which was then said not to have been obtained - yet he was employed as a re- cruiting officer thro' the season and enlisted a number of recruits and forwarded them on to the army - from the town of Waterbury and western part of the State of Connecticut
In the fall or fore part of the winter of that year he hired a man to take his place during the war and also purchased a Negro Slave which he procured to enlist during the war -
The

The reason I have been enabled to state so many facts in relation to my Brother Freeman's services in the revolutionary army is that whilst he was performing those services I was with him a part of the time and upon the decease of our Father in 1777 he was appointed by the Judge of Probate my guardian and of course I had a general knowledge of his services and in many instances was acquainted with the particular facts —

I Eben H. Sudd of Middlebury in the County of Addison and State of Vermont aged seventy two years testify and say, that I have been well acquainted with Freeman Sudd now of Northeast in the County of Erie and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. That he was formerly of Waterbury in the County of New Haven, Connecticut, now Watertown in Litchfield County.
That agreeable to the family record kept and continued to the present time he was born in Waterbury the 10th of August A.D. 1755. — the original of which is in my possession.
That at the commencement of the American Revolutionary war, soon after the battle at Lexington of the 19th of April A.D. 1775 my three elder brothers enlisted into the Army of which the said Freeman was one, then about twenty years of age, and myself fourteen. That they enlisted in Capt. Benedict Arnold's company then said to be of New Haven. This must have been the latter part of April A.D. 1775 as they all joined the Army the first or fore part of May in that year, their term of enlistment was to have terminated the first of January 1776 — They joined the Army at Boston the said Benedict Arnold being appointed Colonel and his Lieut. Grobridge their Captain —
When Col. B. Arnold took the detachment from Washington's Army to pass the wilderness for Quebec two of the brothers Daniel & Freeman joined the detachment in Capt. Hanchett's company. They passed the wilderness & were both in the action in the attempt to storm Quebec the 31 December 1775. Freeman returned from Quebec & Montreal the last days of June or first of July 1776 — having been attached to the Army by his first enlistment and a second one, over thirteen months — as was at that time understood, — and stated on his return
The next winter after Freeman returned from Quebec on or about the month of January A.D. 1777 he enlisted again into the years service as it was then termed — his Captain I do not recollect, he enlisted as a Sergeant and did duty as a Sergeant. — Some part of the term & how long am unable to state he was with & attached to Col. Roger Enos' Regiment — One fact I well recollect that when a detachment from Genl. Putnam's Army had received the information of the surrendering & capture of Genl. Burgoyne & his army on or about the 19th of Oct r A.D. 1777 that Freeman Sudd was then Sergeant and acted as such in Col. Rodger Enos' Regiment on the day of rejoicing in

in consequence of that event, at a place near the Peaks Kill in the State of N. York, at which time & place I was present attached to a division of Genl. Putnam's Army as one of the militia — This makes him in actual service within my knowledge a little over two years — during which time our father deceased & Freeman became my Guardian at an age of about sixteen years —
After this time in the years 1778, 1779 + , 1780, 1781 & 1782 — I was knowing to his being attached to the army a part and nearly one year as one of the Artificers And further he acted as sergeant and enlisted a large number of young men to recruit the Continental Army nearly one year more , but the particular times places, the names of Officers he did not immediately come within my knowledge like the two first soldiers —, with perfect safety I can state he served his country at least two years as a sergeant, and further sayeth not
Ebene W. Judd
+ In the month of July A.D. 1779 at a place called Norwalk in the county of Fairfield & State of Connecticut at the time that town was burnt & destroyed by the British troops my Brother Freeman was in that action as well as myself, and according to my best knowledge and belief was attached to the Army nearly two months a volunteer, at this time he acted as sergeant

I Ethan Andrus of Middlebury in the County of Addison State of Vermont formerly of Waterbury in the County of New Haven, Connecticut aged seventy seven years, testify and say, that I have been long acquainted with Freeman Sudd, now of Northeast in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, that we were both natives of Waterbury, now Watertown in the County of Litch field and State of Connecticut, and are nearly of the same age and resided near together in early life.
I was knowing to his being attached to the Army of the Revolution during the principal part of the war.
In the early part of the war soon after the battle at Lexington he enlisted and joined the Army in Boston in Colonel Benedict Arnold's Regiment, was one of those who passed with that army through the Wilderness to Quebec that he continued with and was attached to that army at the time that General Montgomery was killed & Arnold wounded and till some time in the summer afterwards when he returned from the northern Army about the first of July 1776 — having been absent attached to the Army about thirteen or fourteen months.
That afterwards in the winter of the year 1777 the said Freeman Sudd joined the Army again as a Sergeant in that part of the Army termed the years men, and continued as I then understood till the term of his enlistment expired & was discharged & returned home, Indeed he was a very active partizan in the Army of the Revolution and spent to my knowledge the principal part of his time in actual service and aiding the war of the American Revolution —

It appears from the record of Connecticut Musters that a man by the name of Thaddeus Warr enlisted in Cap t Wright's Company of Col o Bond's Regiment, on the 18 th March 1777 for the war and it also appears that a certificate for the Reward of eighty Dollars was issued in favour of a man by that name. There is no remark to show that he was the substitute of Freeman Judd. nor does the name of the latter appear on the Register of Musters at all.

Mr. Eugene Bouton 53 Warren Street Bloomfield, New Jersey
Dear Sir:
In further consideration of your previous request, the Revolutionary War records have been searched to include other names on your lists of Schoharie County, New York, soldiers of that war.
There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of Colonel Stephen Judd, who was born 1767, served in Schoharie County, New York militia, and died June 8, 1821 and who, you state, received a pension in 1818. Stephen Judd, the pensioner in 1818, enlisted in Waterbury, Connecticut, served as private in Captain David Smith's company, Colonel John Chandler's Connecticut regiment, as shown in pension claim, W. 21499, also that he was born about 1789 and died July 10, 1880, in Waterbury, Connecticut. As you are interested in Jefferson, Schoharie County, New York, man, it is assumed that this is not the soldier whose record you desire. The records of Levi Gallup, S. 8544, Freeman Judd (the only one found), W. 21500, and that of Captain William Judd (the only Captain found), B.L. Wt. 1137-300, are furnished you herewith. This captain's residence at time of death is not shown in this office as the report herewith will reveal.
It is regretted that no record has been found of the Rachel Epner (Epner, Heffner, Heefner, etc.) in whom you are interested and referred to again in your letter of August 23, 1938.
Very truly yours

Very respectfully &c.
