On this eighteenth day of February in the year 1841 Personally appeared before me Lydia Lockwood, one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for said county, the same being a court of record. Rhoda Lockwood, a resident of Poundridge in the said county of Westchester, aged eighty — 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 4 th 1836; in that she is the Widow of Nathan Lockwood late of Poundridge aforesaid deceased, a Revolutionary Pensioner, who was a private and Ensign in the Revo- lutionary War and served as herein stated.

That said service was performed on the Northern frontiers of the State of New York and on the Canada line. That in the year 1776 the said Nathan Lockwood again enlisted the American service, in the company of Capt. Samuel Delavan, as the Applicant believes, and Reg t of Lieut. Col. Thaddeus Crane. — That the said Nathan Lockwood marched with said company into various parts of Westchester County, and in the Winter of 1776 or 1777, was taken prisoner by the Brit- ish troops in an engagement known as the "Battle of Ward's house" in the town of Eastchester, in said County of Westchester, and was con- fined as a prisoner, in the Sugar House in New York and with the British Army on Long Island for the period of thirteen months when he made his escape from the enemy and returned home.

That in consideration of the many and great services, privations and sufferings of the said Nathan in the Revolutionary War he presented a Petition to Congress for relief or remuneration and was by a Special Act of Congress placed on the Pension list and received a Pension during his natural life, of the sum of ninety six Dollars Annually - A Copy of which Certificate is hereto annexed, and to which, together with the proofs accompanying the said Petition to Congress the Applicant would respectfully refer - That from the great lapse of time and death of most of the Revolutionary Soldiers who served with her late husband she is unable to procure further or other testimony of his services than is hereto annexed and referred to -

She further declares that she was married to the said Nathan Lockwood on the 17 th day of June in the year One Thousand seven hundred and seventy eight and that her husband the aforesaid Nathan Lockwood died on the twelfth day of January 1840, and that she has remained a Widow ever since that period as will more fully appear by reference to the proofs hereto annexed -
And the said Applicant further declares that she was married by the Rev d Abraham Kettlelas a Presbyterian Clergyman then residing in Poundridge aforesaid, but knows of no person living, who was present and can testify to the same, and that she can produce no further or other evidence of the facts than that contained in her family Bible, which has been in her possession for fifty - years and upwards

Sir
I have been requested by Mr Nathaniel Lockwood a Pensioner to call your attention to the amount he now receives. He seems to think that he is entitled to full pay and that a mistake was made in filling up his certificate. I have just received at his request a pay roll for the period that he and others (Col. Weyant & Col. Crane's Regiment) were detained as prisoners. It is an original document and he is inclined to believe that you will find one like it now on file in your Office.
He says that he served under a Capt. Henry Shaw of said Regt. for 9 months as a duty in a true service in the field at two different periods one of 8 months and the other for one. That he likewise served in the field in a true service under a Capt. Lawrence for 8 months. You will much oblige the old Gallant if you will please cause his case to be reexamined & He will likewise thank you to add up your answer to him at Crooks River Westchester Co. N.Y.

My Dear Sir
I send you herewith the affidavit of Mr Nathan Lockwood of Poundridge in this County by which it clearly appears that altho' he had made an application for a Pension before presenting his petition to the House of Reps. yet he never rec d a Pension certificate until the one which was issued to him by virtue of the act of Congress. nor had he ever rec d any money from the Government for a Pension until he rec d that certificate. - I am not personally acquainted with the old Gentleman but I am well acquainted with his family connections & I know them to be respectable. If you have directed the agent in New York to stop the payment of his pension I trust that you will give immediate notice for the payment of it again. I am truly Aaron Ward
