SS City of New York
On this twenty first Day of January A D 1840 Personally appeared before the Court of Common Pleas for the City & County of New York Elizabeth Lockwood a resident of the city of New York in the County of New York and State aforesaid aged Sixty Eight years who being first duly sworn according to Law 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" deposes & saith
That She is the widow of Lambert Lockwood late of Bridgeport in the county of Fairfield & State of Connecticut Dec d who according to her best knowledge & belief served in the Revolutionary war in the following manner viz. as a private Soldier in a Company of Infantry in Capt. Matthew Meads Company in Col. David Waterbury's regiment of Connecticut State Troops who enlisted in said Company on the first Day of November 1775 and served the United States from that time until the month of April following in the city of New York when he was Discharged which service is fully proved by the depositions of Daniel Stoyt & Joseph Seeley hereto annexed to which She refers and claims to be allowed a pension for this service at least Five Months as a private Soldier.
That he again enlisted as a private Soldier in Norwalk in the Spring of 1776 into a Company of Infantry (Capt. name not known) Lieut. James Bell, General David Waterbury of Connecticut State Troops

for a campaign to the northward near Lake Champlain in the summer of 1776 & Served at least Six months as stated in the Depositions of Daniel Hoyt hereto annexed to which she refers as the only proof now she can obtain of said service except the company  Completely certificate which shews that Jabez Gregory was Capt. of the 2 nd Company 9 th Reg. and James Betts Lt. of the same with whom said Lockwood served 6 months in 1776 —
That in the month of April 1777 said Lockwood was again in service in Danbury in Connecticut when that town was burnt by the British but in what capacity Regiment or Company she cannot find proof that while in this term of service he was wounded by a ball from the enemy and taken prisoner by the British and when they retreated from Danbury after burning the town they left him & he escaped from being carried off as a prisoner by them in the hurry of their retreat as proved by the Depositions of David Weed, Samuel Wildman & David Foote hereto annexed —
That as early as the Spring of 1778 said Lockwood entered into the Continental service in the State of Connecticut as an assistant Deputy Quarter Master General under Nehemiah Hubbard of Hartford who was a Deputy Quarter Master Genl under Nathaniel Green a Quarter Master General for said State of Connecticut that his service in this capacity was continuous for not less than two years as is proved by the Depositions of David Weed, Samuel Wildman & David Foote & that said service

commenced on or before the first Day of May 1778 as it is found to be proved by the letter hereto annexed marked III from said Stubbard to him requiring his account to be rendered from May 1 st 1778 which service is also found to be proved to have continued from that time untill the 2 nd Day of October 1779 by his account as appears by the leaf hereto attached marked O and that said service is fully proved to have been continuous from May 1 st 1778 to October 2 nd 1779 by reference to all the leaves of the old account Book of said Nehemiah Stubbard hereto annexed and marked from A to V inclusive
And that She has no other documentary evidence to prove his service besides that hereto annexed — that said Gambert had a book of accounts relative to business of the Revolution kept with Nehemiah Stubbard, which accounts and all his old papers relating to his Revolutionary service was at his death taken to the dwelling House of William Pat Esq. in said Bridport who was the administrator on his estate & whose house a few years ago as I have been informed took fire, when all of said Old books and papers was reported to have been burnt. — if he had written Discharges from said service or any Commission they must have been burnt at that time. That She claims that She has proved at least Eleven Months service as a private in 1775 & 1776 and at least Two Years as an assistant (Deputy Quarter Master General) from May 1 st 1778; & She respectfully requests that She may be placed on the pension roll of the New York Agency for what She is justly entitled for said Two years; that She does not know of any person living who served

with said Lockwood except said Daniel Stoyt and Joseph Seely: - the reason She has not presented her claim for a Pension at an earlier date is that She had not found all the requisite testimony - until recently
Interrogatories by said Court

Answer - Born in Woodbridge State of New Jersey March 12 th 1771 has a record of the same on a leaf of her family Bible hereto annexed.

Sir,
You will receive herewith enclosed, an application in the form of a declaration made by Elizabeth Lockwood late a pensioner under act 1838. Her lock agency, at the rate of $364. 44 per annum, for the revolutionary service of her deceased husband as a private & assistant Sep. 2 d Master. I have been furnished with a copy of a letter from her son Roe Lockwood Esq. written to the Hon. J. Ben. Jan. 2 d . 1840. In stating the service of his father he says in deposition of Samue Host and Joseph Seely, we find service for 11 months, as private. It is also stated, that evidence was exhibited such as the authenticated leave cut from the book of accounts, of the late Nehemiah Hubbard Sep. 2 d M c . Gen. l showing service as an ap t Sep. 2 d Master for the space of 17 days under said Hubbard. And the depositions of Samuel Hildman, David Reed & David Foote (all of South Connecticut) prove that Samue Lockwood was in service for more than two years as Ap t Sep. 2 d Master.
The question is respectfully asked. If the deposition of the three last named persons, one if not all are pensions, is not sufficient to make up the full term of two years service as an assistant Sep. 2 d Master: and her late pension

under act 1838 increased accordingly. be pleased to have to case returned,
I am very respectfully

Yours of the 8 th inst. came to hand after having been opened by another person, - & on inquiring at the Post Office for your enclosure of 27 th June, it was found after considerable search among the dead letters. - It was directed to R. Lockwood - was opened by Ralph Lockwood - returned to the Post Office by him - and placed where it was finally found. -
With regard to the required amend- ment in Mr Lockwood's declaration - I would say that she is now out of the City, and in her absence I have made the best amend- ment in my power; nor do I think if she was here she could do more than I have now done. for I very much doubt whether there is a single Magistrate in the City who is personally acquainted with her. - Judge Ulbrasser thinks it could not be your mean- ing to exclude from the benefits of the Act any individual who may be situated as I think  any Mother is - & that such a decision would be without precedent.

J. L. Edwards Esq Coun. of Pending
On the 29 th Aug. I returned to you the Declaration of my Mother Mrs. E. Lockwood with the best amendment I could make during her absence; but from your silence on the subject I have supposed you considered the amendment insufficient.
She has recently returned from her visit to the country & has made a new declaration (in lieu of the preceding one) which I herewith enclose, & trust that you will find it satisfactory.
She has resided for the last year or two in Brooklyn with another of her children & in order to comply literally with your directing the Declaration has been authenticated in Kings Ct. as the place of her present residence.
Her Certificate may be enclosed to me.

In an application I made some short time since in behalf of M rs Elizabeth Lockwood, for an increase of pension under act 1838. New York roll, upon the supposition that the full service set forth of her deceased husband, Lambert, was not fully estimated by the calculation in the allowance of her pension. The application was, therefore, made with the view of calling your attention to three affidavits; which was presented in the first application. In reply, the 1 st Oct. last you inform me, "M rs Elizabeth Lockwood was allowed 17 months. 2 days service of her late husband as assistant Deputy Quarter Master which is all that the documentary proof established , and required a fairable consideration of the depositions."
The documentary proof has referred to, being the allowed service for 17 m s . 2 d s as assistant dep. Q tr Master leaves out from the books of the late General Hubbard, dep. Q tr Master General. So I was informed by M r Lockwood & the Executrix of the estate of the late M r Hubbard, upon a late visit at Middletown Connecticut; where I examined the original book kept by M r Hubbard as Q tr Master General, in which there entries from day to months of the payments, and advances made to the Officers of the Quarters Master Dept. and which there, has for 17 m s . 2 d s . Lambert Lockwood was charged and credited with M rs . covering the time of service you represent.

I have understood, that the original book, kept by the Sep. 2 d M c . Generals, was considered documentary evidence, and by their date and entries sufficient evidence to show service, upon a certificate from the Sep. 2 d M c . General, giving an extract from his books of the credits and charges, or leaves cut therefrom as in the case of Lambert Lockwood.
I have presented an authenticated transcript from the original ledger of the late Ashmole Hall, Sep. 2 d M c . General, showing that on the 27 th July 1778. Elias Bingham was charged with the sum of £1000 as per his acct. rendered with the 2 d M c . General, and on the 9 th of June following was credited with like amount.
On the 3 rd Nov r you write me, the two entries, is not admissible as evidence, to show service. &? How is it, that in the case of Lockwood you admit documents proof of 17 mo. 2 days, from the same ledger, and in the same handwriting of Sep. 2 d M c . General. When Bingham's claim is presented the evidence presented is not admissible: If it be, because the evidence in one case is documentary being cut from the original book; and in the other not considered so, being in the form of a transcript; will you be pleased to inform me; and I will endeavor to prevail on the Executors, to permit a leaf to be cut from Ash m Hall's ledger, in the case of Bingham - as in the case of Lockwood.

J. S. Edwards Esq. Sir
You may recollect that I called on you about six months ago in reference to the claim of my Mother - Mrs. Elizabeth Lockwood - for an increase of her Pension under the Act of July 1838. - She claimed an increase on two grounds  for two reasons - 1 st for services of my Father - Samuel Lockwood - for the full term of two years & more, instead of for 1 Yr. 5 Mo. & 2 days as Staff Officer; - & 2 d for a greater rate of pay than you had allowed. - Whilst I was engaged with D r Crump in looking over the documents, an order was rec d . to close the office in consequence of the disaster the day before on board the Princeton. - I had therefore to leave the matter unfinished, - & left your office with the view of returning in the Archives of the Treasury & the other departments for the testimony which you required, & which I felt pretty certain must exist somewhere. - I found all the offices about closing, & had to leave Washington without being able to prosecute the matter further in person.
But it has not been given up. - Mr. Nicholas Carroll now informing me that he has documentary

testimony fully establishing her claim in both particulars. — He says he can most clearly prove that my Father served more than two years as Staff Officer (of which fact I have not the slightest doubt myself) & that his peculiar pay was more than Fifty dollars a month. — About the rate of pay I have no knowledge beyond the documents accompanying the first Declaration. — What we peculiarly claim then is — full pay at the rate of $50 a month. — My Mother has given to Mr. Carroll a Power of Attorney to represent her in the premises, — & I have no doubt that you will give to the testimony which he may present to you — a full & candid consideration. —
I cannot refrain from acknowledging my obligations for the promptness with which you attended to my business when I was in Washington — & I cannot but think, that, but for the bad affair of the Peninsula — my visit there would have had a more fortunate termination, & that I should not have been under the necessity of trespassing again on your patience —
I am very Resp ly yrs. affec ly &c.

I enclose the Power of Attorney of Mrs Elizabeth Lockwood of New York, widow of Lambert Lockwood and a letter to you from her son, Rev Lockwood Esq. in relation to his mother's Pension.
Lambert Lockwood performed more service than his widow is now pensioned for. Under the Acts of 1838 '40 '42 '44 she draws $364 44 for 17 months & 2 days service of her husband as Assistant Deputy Quarter Master General, & the balance for his service as a Pirate. His service was as follows - first as a Pirate - he was taken prisoner at a very early period of the War - upon his release he was appointed by Nehemiah Hubbard, Q. 2. M. S. an Asst. Copy Q. Mr Genl. for Connecticut & is so returned by Genl. Hubbard, as will be seen by reference to Volume 173 of Returns in the State Department. Genl. Greene, under whom Nehemiah Hubbard served, resigned Augst 1780 & on the 5 th of August 1780 Timothy Pickering was appointed Master Master General. Nehemiah Hubbard tendered his resignation simultaneously with Genl. Greene. It was not accepted until a successor who would consent to serve was appointed. But Mr Lockwood performed other services than those of Asst. Q. 2. M. Genl. Nehemiah Hubbard acted as Depy. Commissary Genl. of Forage as well as Q. 2. M. S. and simultaneously performed the duties of both offices. It appears by Hubbard's accounts that Lambert Lockwood was also Asst. Depy Comy. Genl. of Forage. The resignation of N. Hubbard created no interregnum in the duties of Mr Lockwood. A number of the former deputies continued to serve under his successor Mr Lockwood, and so continue & it is believed served in

some capacity until the close of the war. It is believed that subsequently he acted as Assistant Commissary of Issues, and that this latter office he held until the close of the war.
In regard to pay: Vol 2 o page 129 of the Journals of the Old Congress the pay of the Master M c S er was $166 per month in addition to his pay as Major General in the line, of a Depy. Q r . M c S er $75 per month, and an Asst. Depy. Q r . M c S er $60 per month. The date of this is 1777
Vol 3 o page 272 of the Journals, on the 10 th of May 1779 Congress "Resolved, That all Depy. Q r . M c S er who transact business upon commissions, shall not be entitled either to pay or rations; but where they act without receiving such commissions, whether stationed at a post or with the army, they shall be allowed $200 per month, two rations per day & $40 per month subsistence."
"That the pay of an Asst. Q r . Master be $140 dollars per month and the usual rations & subsistence."
In the same act the pay of the Depy. Comy. S er of Issues is fixed at $200 per month commencing Jan y 1 st 1779 - the Assistant Comys. of Issues at $90 per month - Clerks of the Comy. S er & Depy. Comy. S er of Issues at $80, Clerks of Brigade Commissaries $50 per month & Clerks of the Scales $35 per month - they also establish the pay of a Depy. Wagon M c S er at $100 per month 1 ration per day & $20 per month subsistence - a Wagon Master $80 per month 1 ration per day & $10 per month subsistence - Depy. Comy. S er of Forage attending main army $200 per month, 2 rations per day & $20 subsistence, Asst Comys. of Forage $140 per month - Forage Masters $80 per month.
Upon a reorganization of the Q r . Master. Dept. on the 15 th July 1780, the Depy. Q r . M c S er for the States were authorized to appoint as many Assistants (Asst. Depy. Q r . M c S er ) as they should think the service required. This act creates a distinction in the Dept. that did not before exist. Thus making the Q r . M c S er .

Genl. the Asst. Qr. Mr. Genl. and Depy. Qr. Mr. Genl. for each  Army (main & separate) as one class. The Depy. Qr. Mr. Genl. for each  State and their Assistants another class. The pay of the Qr. Mr. Genl. as then fixed was $166 per month in addition to his other pay - the Asst. Qr. Mr. Genl. $166 per month and the Army Depy. Qr. Mr. Genl. $35 per month in addition to their line pay. The State Depy. Qr. Mr. Genl. not to exceed $134 per month & the Asst. Depy. Qr. Mr. Genl. not to exceed $75 per month. The same act fixes the pay of a Brigade Qr. Mr. at $20 per month in addition to line pay, Comy. of Forage $75 per month, Depy. Comy. of Forage $40 per month, Forage Master in addition to his pay in the line of the army $80 per month, Wagon Master $60 per month, Depy. W. Master $45 per month, Asst. Wagon Master in a separate army $40 per month Conductor of Wagons when not of the line of the army $35 per month when of the line of the Army $12 per month additional . That the foregoing salaries be paid in specie, or other money equivalent.
A reference to the Returns in the State Department, in which will be found the Returns of Morgan Lewis, Jeremiah Hubbard, Moore Furman, Henry Hollingsworth, Wm. Finnis others, as Depy. Qr. Mr. Genl. made in 1779 - they state the pay per month of Asst. Qr. Mr. Genl. under them at $140 per month. If a Wagon Master received pay equal in specie to $40, his pay being fixed at $80 in 1779 it follows that the pay of an Asst. Qr. Mr. Genl. was by the same rule equal to $70 in specie - if an Asst. Comy. of Issues received in specie equal to $60, his pay being fixed at $90 it follows that an Asst. Qr. Mr. Genl. received in specie (his pay being fixed at $140 per month) $93 1/3 per month - and even if the Asst. Comy. of Issues received in specie $50 per month, the pay of an Asst. Qr. Mr. Genl. was $77 1/2 in specie. These rates were fixed from the 11 th of May 1779 to the 15 th of July 1780. From July 15 th 1780 until the 14 th of March, so far as they related to the Qr. Master's Dept., they

underment no change, as will appear by the acknowledgement of their being in force by the proceedings of Congress, on the day last named.
Upon the evidence now on file I claim for Mrs Lockwood this difference: The allowance now made is for 17 months & 2 days, as Asst. Qr. Ms. Mrs. Sen! at the rate of $480 per full pay, being for Asst. Qr. Ms. Mrs. Sen! $341.33 as Pirate 23.11 $364.44
Computing the pension at the rate of $600 per annum for full service it would be: for Asst. Qr. Ms. Mrs. Sen! 17 mos. 2 dys. $426.66 as Pirate 23.11 $449.77
In lieu of her present Certificate for $364.44 I claim a new one for $449.77 per annum, with the arrearage of $85.33 1/3 per annum commencing at the time from which she first received her pension - to wit from 6 th March 36 to 6 th March 41. from the 6 th March 43 to 6 th March 44 & thence under the Act of June 17 th 1844.
I am now making search for the evidence of his full service. Mr Lockwood lost his own papers by fire, or this examination would be unnecessary. The family tradition is, that he was in service until the close of the war.

I have the honor to be Very Respectfully Yr. Obt. Servt.

Sir,
The enclosed papers of Mrs. Elizabeth Lockwood, which were supposed long since to have been filed in your Office, it appears have been overlooked, and I now beg leave to lay them before you. In regard to the monthly pay of Asst. Dr. Master Genl. Lockwood, while in Service, I would respectfully refer you to the enclosed letter of Mr. Carroll and to the various resolutions of Congress to which it refers, respecting the pay of Officers of that grade, which, in my opinion, show conclusively that Mrs. Lockwood is entitled for the service already allowed , to an increase of pension from $364 44 / 100 to $449 44 / 100 per annum.
Mrs. Lockwood believes herself entitled to a still greater increase, she having been allowed for only 17 months Service of her husband as Aft. Repy. Dr. Master General, when she is satisfied that he was in that Service upwards of two years. For evidence of this I would respectfully request that you will cause an examination to be made of the "Army Returns" and "Washington Papers" on file in the State Department.
I am, very respectfully, Wm. Lloyd

I Roe Lockwood of the State, County and city of New York aged thirty nine years - do desire to know that I am the son of Samuel Lockwood deceased, late of Bridgeport, Fairfield County, State of Connecticut - & that along with my ear- liest recollections is impressed on me that I have heard my father say respecting his services during the Revolutionary War - particularly that while in the discharge of his duty he was wounded & taken prisoner at the time Danbury in Connecticut was burnt by Gov. Tryon in April 1777 - & that though I do not recollect hearing him say precisely how long he served, my impression from what he did say always has been that he served during the greater part of the war. I have always understood from him that his services were connected with the Conn. militia or Quart Master department - & that often before his decease, & immediately subsequent to that event I have seen a book containing his accounts as Commissary or Quart Master. These accounts were kept with Nehemiah Hubbard Deputy Quart Master General for the State of Connecticut - & extended over a considerable space of time & were to large amounts. - This book of accounts - along with many other books & papers - was after my father's death, taken to the dwelling of William Peet of Bridgeport aforesaid who was Adminis- trator of my father's estate - that the whole were placed in the garret of said dwelling - that a fire ( originating I believe in another building ) caught in the garret of said Peet's dwelling & destroyed amongst other things most of the books and papers aforesaid - since which the book of accounts aforesaid has never been found. - My father warrant a Commission, if he had one would probably have been with these papers. I have always understood that my father resided during the War in Fairfield County, Connecticut

I further desire to say that my father died at Bridgeport aforesaid on the eleventh day of February in the year one thousand eight hundred & twenty five, & that my Mother as his Widow is now living with me in New York aforesaid whose name is Elizabeth Lockwood. My Mother has in her possession a Bible containing a family record of Marriages, births & deaths in- cluding the record of her marriage to my father which record is in his hand writing.

Joseph Suley of Weston in Fairfield County & State of Connecticut of eighty three Years of age testify & say that I was a Soldier in the War of the Revolution.
