1 Declaration to obtain the Benefit of the act of Congress passed the 7 th June 1832
State of New York, Onondaga County ss. On this fourteenth day of July 1832 personally appeared in open Court in the Court of Chancery of the State of New York held at Utica in the County of Onondaga, and now sitting before the Hon. Nathan Williams Vice Chan- cellor of the Fifth Circuit Genl. Terry a resident of the town of Sangerfield in the said County of Onondaga aged Seventy six who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7. 1832. That he was born as he has uniformly understood & believes, at Enfield in Con- necticut on the 20 th day of August 1755. That there was a record of his birth in his father's bible which bible he believes to be now in the possession of Colonel Terry a Nephew of this deponent, at his residence in the former town of Paris in said County, but who in that part now forming as this deponent is advised, the town of Marshall, from which this deponent copied the entry into his own Bible now in his possession at his residence - and that deponent believes his birth is also officially on record in the office of the town Clerk of the town of Enfield aforesaid, having himself seen the record thereof in the said office. - That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated - to wit. In the Spring of the year 1775

and he biloung in the month of April, but after month he is not certain, being at Church on Sunday a paper printed in Church by a stranger was read by the Minister the calling for volunteers to repair near to Boston. That this document with about 40 others forthwith returned their fingers and the same day marched to Roxbury under the direction or command of one Hoseaiah Parsons who was appointed their leader by the Voluntary Association under whom this document found at Roxbury to which he and the few Volunteers immediately marched, and in its vicinity for a term somewhat extending three months under the command of the said Hoseaiah Parsons as their Captain, and in opposition to the British - that during this term he was not in any battle. During this time a man called Major Pease assumed a command superior to the said Capt. Parsons. At the expiration of this term document with the volunteers before mentioned were relieved by troops enlisted as de- ponent understood for six months; But document does not recollect the name of the officers commanding such troops. Deponent received pay for this service after his return home.
In the same year in December (document still residing at Enfield) document volunteered as a teamster, with his father's team and carried a load of Sledging from Enfield to Albany, whom document understood to be a part of the troops of Arnold engaged in his expedition to Canada. At this time document was so employed about, and a little over one month -

In the Spring of 1776, but deponent is not certain after March deponent enlisted in the State troops of Connecticut at Enfield for six months. He was enlisted by Lieutenant Thomas Abbey, who was afterwards a Captain in the Continental service. Under this enlistment deponent served in the Company of Captain John Harnon, the said Abbey was Lieutenant, and Colonel Mott's regiment. His Christian name deponent does not recollect. Immediately after this enlistment deponent was ordered with the Company to Suffield and thence thence to Skaneateles; and after remaining there deponent and say that under the Company & deponent with it, went to Ticonderoga and there met the regiment. At this place General Gates was Chief in Command. Deponent's regiment was under the immediate command of Gen. Waterbury. Deponent was on board the vessel with Gen. Waterbury at the time of the defeat of the American flotilla on Lake Champlain under the command of Gen. Arnold. Deponent remained at Ticonderoga until he became sick and went into the Hospital at Fort George and there received the discharge hereunto annexed.
Afterwards in March 1777 deponent again enlisted at Enfield in the Connecticut troops under Captain David Parsons for the term of one year, and remained at Enfield under discipline deponent thinks six weeks at

least, at that place - but before March 4 at the solicitation of his father he hired one Peter Buxton as his substitute, who was ac- cepted in stead of deponent; and deponent was released. The said Buxton deponent understands is since dead.
Deponent further says that afterwards and he believes in 1779. He was in the summer before the Hard counter , at Enfield deponent again enlisted as a teamster under Capt. Jonathan Jonathan Bush, deponent believing in the State troops of Connecticut - but he thinks possibly in the Continental line - An officer called Major Pease had the Chief direction of the teamsters & was superior to Capt. Bush - This enlist- ment was for six months - during the whole of which time deponent served as such, and principally in transporting loads from Boston to Springfield, and Boston to Fishkill, and in waiting to the landing opposite West Point In this term of service deponent was employed he thinks at least a month beyond the term of his enlistment, which was occasioned by the security of the person while on a tour from Boston to Fishkill - Deponent never received any other discharge than the annexed. Deponent has lived in Sangerfield since his youth, except about two years during that time, when he resided at Buxton in the County of Sussex - Previous to his being at

Longfield, he used to about five years at Suffield in Connecticut. His mother had always previously been at Enfield aforesaid -
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the pension; and declaring that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State.
Given to and filed on this day of the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty seven.

That he was he believes born at Enfield in Connecticut and resided there until he was about 36 years of age - That he was acquainted with Rev. Terry now present at Enfield while defendant was a boy

Deponent has heard the statement of the said Tony above written, but does not recollect whether or not the said Tony was at Roxbury or from home at the time mentioned, but has no reason from his recollections or otherwise to doubt that he was so absent and engaged; as deponent recollects that on that or some similar occasion many inhabitants of the said town did volunteer their services.
Deponent recollects the said Tony's enlistment by Lieut. Harvey Abney, who was this deponent's father, and deponent knowing that the company on that occasion raised by his father, was enlisted for six months. Deponent recollects the return of the men then enlisted at that time, and the return of the said Tony. He thinks he and the others were at home within a week of each other.
Deponent knows that the said Tony was absent some time, and employed as deponent understood in training in the army, and he would say from his recollection about six months and deponent believing something more. On reflection he thinks the time over seven months. Deponent understood at the time that the said Tony was enlisted as a teamster. Deponent understood said Tony to be under Capt. Bugg with whom deponent was acquainted and deponent knowing that the said Tony was in the town of Eufala supposed to have been

a soldier in the army of the Revolution and that he is now residing in the neighbor- hood where he now lives in Sangerfield and defendant has the knowledge of some of their truth. and defendant believing the said Tony to be of the age of about forty years as he was about ten years older than the defendant according to depo- sits early recollection on the subject therefore presented the same J.

Sir,
M c Grew Perry who was in his life time a prisoner under the act of June 1832 died 7 th January 1838 leaving surviving him Mrs. Talitha Perry to whom he was married August 13. 1778. She is still his widow never having married since his decease.
The services for which a pension was granted to Mr. Perry, as is supposed from the amount allowed ($48 per annum) were all rendered prior to his intermarriage with the said Talitha Perry. It is true that other services were rendered by him after the marriage, but such services consisted of things supposed to have been performed under private contracts, and which, it is thought, were disallowed when his pension was granted.
The object of this communication is, to ascertain if practically, whether or not, any of the services rendered by Mr. Perry after the 13 th August 1778 were in fact allowed him. If they were not, Mrs. Perry is entitled to claim a pension under the act of July 7. 1838, and she would therefore respectfully request you to furnish her the necessary information on this subject so that she may not make expense needlessly if she be not entitled. She however confidently hopes that she is within the provisions of the last mentioned act and that she will be a recipient of its bounty. Permit me to add that she is needy & deserving. Your reply you will be pleased to direct to me at this place as soon as your earliest convenience will allow.

Comm ee of Pensions,
Sir,
I enclose the papers of Mrs. Tabitha Terry agreeably with the instructions of the department, to procure her pension. She is old and unable to state as to all the services of her husband John Terry, and as the evidence of them is on file in the pen. office, it is thought unnecessary. Direct to me at Waterville Oneida Co. N.Y.

Waterville 8 th August 1843 J. L. Edwards Esq. Or Sir,
In the case of Tabitha Terry, she was informed by the pen. department that she was entitled to a pension from the 4 th March 1836 to the 8 th Jany 1838 on which day her husband Lem Terry died; and accordingly a declaration pursuant to the instructions was made out & forwarded with the declaration to obtain the pension under the one year act of 1 st March. To this declaration one certificate only which was a certificate for one year pay under the last act, has been received, and no reason given why a certificate under the other was not returned. This is written to inquire whether the papers were insufficient, to entitle her to a pension from 4 th March 1836 to 8 th Jany 1838, or what was the reason it has not been sent. I suggested to her that the declaration had not been acted upon. Will the Dep: please write and oblige Yours &

Dear Sir, I have written two letters to the Pension Department, the first containing papers to procure a Certificate of pension for Mrs Tabitha Terry, and the second to enquire if the same had been received. Not getting letters or answers from either although 2 months have elapsed since, if they were received at all they must have come to hand, Mrs Terry is in great suspense, and it is most earnestly desired that something should be heard from her application. Will you cause, on the receipt of this, an answer to be immediately forwarded to me at the above place and much oblige

Waterville Oneida County New York March 25 th 1843
To the Commissioners of Pensions Washington Soc.
Your instructions are desired upon the following case, in order to obtain the benefit of an act of the last Congress, steading pensions , & certain widows.
Jabitha Terry of the town of Saugafeld in this County, widow of Leno Terry a revolutionary Pensioner, who died the 7 th January 1838, had a certificate granted her allowing her a pension from the 8 th day of January 1838 the day after her husband's death, under the act of July 1838. Under this certificate she drew until the 4 th of March 1841 when the pension agent at Albany refused to allow her the payment due at that time without the return of her original certificate, which was done accordingly.
Understanding that an act of the last Congress extends such widows' pensions, she desires to know what steps are to be taken, and proof, are required by the depart- ment in order to procure a new Certificate.
Direct your answer if you please to Anna O. Osborn Waterville Oneida County New York
Respectfully Yours &c
A. O. Osborn
