State of Massachusetts ss. Middlesex County
On this Seventh  Seventh day of December in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty eight, personally appeared, before the Honorable Samuel P. Gay Esquire, Judge of the Court of Probate, in and for said County of Middlesex, Lucy Thendal, a resident of Sherburne in the county of Middlesex, aforesaid, aged seventy eight years, who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth, on her oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the Act of Congress, passed July 7, 1838, entitled, "An Act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows." That she is the widow of Timothy Thendal who was a private and corporal in the War of the Revolution and served, as is herein stated, viz: That in the latter part of December 1775 the said Timothy Thendal was enlisted by Daniel Coolidge of said Sherburne, who was then a Sergeant in the Army of the Revolution, for one year, and he immediately marched to Cambridge and there joined a Company commanded by Captain Thomas Mial in Colonel Soammi Baldwin's Regiment and General Heath's Brigade and he stayed in said Cambridge about three months and then marched with said Company to New York and remained there till the American Army left the City of New York which she thinks was in September and after that time he was in different places with said Company in the States of New York and New Jersey and was in the Battles at East Chester and at Trenton and remained in said Company doing the duty of a private till the latter part of December 1776 when his year the time which he enlisted for being out, he was discharged and returned home to Sherburne. And that she has often heard the said Timothy Thendal tell of being a corporal in General Washington's life guard and that he was taken from another Company and put into General Washington's because he was a tall man, but that she does not recollect the names of the officers nor the term of his service at this time; and that she has no documentary evidence to support her claim unless it is an old list of soldiers which she found among his papers and is herunto annexed; and that if he had written discharges it is probable they were burnt with his house which was burnt together with part of his papers, and that the said Timothy Thendal never received a pension; and that he resided in Sherburne, aforesaid, when he entered the service. And she the said Lucy
Thendal

Thendal further declares that she was married to the said Thendal Simothey on the thirtieth day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty five; that her husband the aforesaid Simothey Thendal died on the sixth day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty nine; that she has not been married since his death but now remains his widow; and that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the first of January seven hundred and ninety four viz: at the time above stated.

Dear Sir,
I wish you would inform J. S. Edwards Esq. that I have made farther examinations to prove the service of Timothy Hendall the late the late Husband of Lucy Hendall, who has applied for a Pension, and find that there is a mistake in spelling the name of the Captain he served under, instead of its being spelt Mial it is spelt Mighill but generally pronounced Mi-hill the g being silent but I find some persons who pronounce it Mig-ill leaving the h silent which will account for the difference of the spelling as it is a name not known in this place where the Papers were prepared, and we had to write the name to correspond with the pronunciation as near as we could guess. The reason of the papers not being found at Washington is that the principal part of them now remain in the office of the Secretary of State as his certificate will show. There has been a book sent to Washington by William Hoart Esq. of Newburyport in Essex County, Massachusetts, which, a daughter of the said Capt. Mighill who now lives in Rowley thinks will give some account of the alleged service of the said Timothy Hendall, but as I never saw the book I can tell nothing more about it. As to not applying for a pension under the Act of March 18th. 1818, he did apply together with Daniel Coolidge and Joel Coolidge and had their papers all prepared and lodged with the Clerk of the District Court U. S. Massachusetts District, which I have lately taken from the Office of said Court and forward herewith the papers relating to the case of Timothy Hendall and shall in a few days forward the papers of the Messrs. Coolidges. The only reason that Mr. Hendall did not send on his papers, was that by his own industry and frugality he had acquired property sufficient to bar him from a Pension under that Act. And that I have not been able to find a pay-roll for any company in Col. Seammim Baldwin's Regiment for the months of July, August, September, October, November and December in the year 1776, although I have made a very thorough search. But as Mr. Hendall enlisted for a year and received $2.11 for travelling home from Trenton at the close of the campaign of 1776, as Col. Baldwin's Regiment did not go to Trenton till the night of the 25th of December 1776 when they crossed the Delaware River under the command of General Washington, and as -- William Adams, who served in the same Company with Mr. Hendall

and was not as successfull as Mr. Thendall in saving his property did obtain a pension under the act of 1818 and I cannot find any person who knows of Mr. Adams serving nine months at any one time, except the year that he served with Mr. Thendall, and as we now have the affidavits of different persons taken at different times, I think the proof that Mr. Thendall served a year besides the time allowed him to return home is established by as much evidence as can be expected after so great a lapse of time. As to Mr. Thendall's service for a short time in Capt. Baron's Company of Col. Bullard's Regiment of Militia in 1776, Mr. Poellidoe says must be some mistake for he served in Capt. Hight's Company with him the whole year and returned home to Sherburn with him and he knows that they were not discharged till after the battle at Trenton which was on the morning of the 26th. of December 1776 which battle he was in.

Dear Sir,
When I prepared the declaration of Lucy Kendal of Sherburne in the county of Middlesex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Widow of Timothy Kendal late of said Sherburne deceased, to obtain a pension Certificate, she was not able to name the officers her late husband served under for only one term of his service; and she declared in said declaration that he was in the service more than one term but she could not name the Officers he served under. Therefore I wish you would inform Mr. Edwards that a few days since, in examining some of the old papers by Capt. Daniel Eames late of Holliston in said County, deceased, I find that the said Timothy Kendal was at least one month from the latter part of September 1777 in a Company commanded by the said Capt. Daniel Eames in Col. Benjamin Howes Regiment, in the State of Rhode Island, in what was called the private expedition, which I wish to have examined and if the name of the said Timothy Kendal be found on said Roll, to have the above mentioned service allowed to the said Lucy Kendal.
