We, Edward J.

* Enlisted or Volunteered or Drafted. Declaration must be accompanied by satisfactory proof of the marriage, of the death, and the present widowhood of the claimant. If there be none but a private or family record, such family record, or a duly certified copy of it should be forwarded, if possible, with the affidavit of some disinterested person who knew the parties in the lifetime of the husband, and knew them as husband and wife, and to be so reputed—will be admissible. In such case, however, will the mere statement of witnesses that the claimant is the widow of the deceased, be taken as evidence of the marriage; but the claimant must state facts, and circumstances from which they derive their knowledge or opinion.

Thomas Robinson Clerk

State of Connecticut } County of Fairfield } ss
On this 24 th day of April 1833 personally appeared before a Special Court of Probate held at Fairfield in & for the District of Fairfield in Fairfield County & State of Connecticut this 24 th day of April 1833 and said sitting Joseph Taylor a resident of Fairfield in said County & State aged now sixty seven years who being first sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration explanatory of a declaration by him made on the 23 rd day of July 1832 before a Special Session of the County Court held at Fairfield in & for the County of Fairfield & State aforesaid on the 23 rd day of July 1832 in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832
In his former declaration made before said County Court he stated that he commenced his services in the Revolutionary War in the Summer of the year 1778 or 1779 as a substitute for Joseph Wakeman Sen, under Capt. Elphinstone on a Tour of Duty to West Point & that the Company to which he belonged stopped at Stamford where he served about two months & then removed to Norwalk where he served about one month more — The Declarant now states that he cannot now say whether it was in 1778 or 1779 that he served, but is positive & sure that he served on the Tour of duty as aforesaid in one of the aforesaid years for the full term of three months and that he served in the capacity of a waiter to the Line of said Company when name was Sam l Taylor & as a substitute for Joseph Wakeman Sen, who was then a waiter to said Line & who was drafted from the Militia Company of Greenwich in said Fairfield & taken to serve in the capacity of a waiter as aforesaid — And the Declarant further stated in his former declaration that early in the Spring of 1780 he enlisted under Lieut Sam l Taylor & as he thinks in Capt. Javis Company of State Troops for three months on a Tour of duty to Fishkill. The Declarant now states that upon reflection he is confident that said enlistment was in the fall of the year, but is not confident whether it was in 1779 or 1780 but is positive that he served in the aforesaid Tour of duty in one of said years & in the full of the year for the full term of three months and that the reason of his entering into the service so early in life was that he served under his father the then Lieut Sam l Taylor — And the Declarant further stated in his former declaration

That early in the fall of 1781 he enlisted in the State Troops under Capt Isaac Garris for a term of at least six months, but thinks for more & served in guard of the Sea Coast of the town of Fairfield. The Declarant now states that he is not sure whether his service was in 1780 or 1781, but is confident in stating that upon more mature reflection it was in the Spring of the year & not in the fall that he enlisted as aforesaid and that it was in one of the years 1780, or 1781 and that he served on that occasion for the full term of six months and that his father Lieut Sam l Taylor was then the Lieut of the Company to which he belonged. The Declarant further states in his former declaration that he enlisted in the Spring of 1782 in the State Troops under Capt Daniel Lacey & served in the guard of the Sea Coast of Greenfarms in Fairfield under Ensign Greenman's Monks house. The Declarant now states that he is con- fident & positive that he served at that time at Greenfarms aforesaid for the full term of six months under the Ensign Monks house in the State Guard so called taken from the State Troops, and the declarant also states that though he cannot distinctly & accurately remember so as to state beyond all doubt the very year in which any one particular service was performed except the service under Ensign Monks house in 1782, yet he is not the less confident in saying that he distinctly remembers having performed the particular services enumerated & for the periods of time stated in the foregoing, and that although he commenced his services at an early period in life, it was because his father Sam l Taylor was then an acting officer and that he imbibed a spirit and ardor for the service from him and first served under him as before stated - and the Declarant further says that in all his services he was on actual duty or in quarters & that he was precluded from attending to any other business for the time being, and that in all his services he served as a private soldier and that he has ob- tained the best evidence in support of his claims that lies in his power & the same is herewith forwarded, and that the reason of his not procuring the certificate of a Clergyman to his reputation as a soldier of the Revolution is that Hezekiah Ruluy the Clergyman of the Parish to which he belongs & who could have certified for him died about two years since, he was an aged man & the only Clergyman in the Parish for

upwards of fifty years since & one that partook in the scenes of the Revolution himself and also that the Rev Philo Shelton a Clergyman of the neighbouring Parish with whom he was ac- quainted is now dead & has been dead for several years
