Ebenezer Wendell Departed this Life in his fiftieth Year
July 24 th 1836 Elizabeth Wendell Departed this Life Aged Seventy Seven

I David Windell of the town of Tolland in the County of Tolland and State of Connecticut aged sixty five years or thereabouts say that I am the son of Ebenezer Windell late of said Tolland, and of his wife Elizabeth Windell both deceased, and am the oldest and the only surviving son of the said Ebenezer and Elizabeth, and was the admin- istrator upon the estate of the said Ebenezer. I often heard my father the said Ebenezer speak of his services in the army of the Revolution and particularly of his being a sergeant in Col. Litchfield's Connecticut Regiment. He had a sergeant's warrant which he preserved, and which has been signed by James M'Clellan C.C. Assistant Adjutant Genl. 1775, which I have preserved since his death and is now in my possession. He informed me that he received the warrant while in the service of the Revolution in Connecticut. He was spoken to and of others before of duty in the army of the revolution but I do not remember distinctly when they were or how long he served. I further testify and say that my father had two family records. His marriage was there entered as was also his children. I remember the record as long as I can remember any thing. I knew the first page of said record concerning with the marriage of my parents in the house of my grandfather. I do not know when or by whom the subsequent entries were made until the last which I made myself some after the death of my mother the said Elizabeth Windell. The book has always been in my family since the death of my father until now and can bear the true record of the births and deaths of my father's children and their descendants. It is in the possession of my daughter, Mary Jane. The date is March 1858 in the book. I always knew that my mother Elizabeth Windell was the daughter of David Windell July 24, 1858. Her name, her parents, and all the information I have. David Windell B. Elizabeth May 1858.

The book is bound in leather and has a small clasp. The pages are yellowed and the handwriting is in ink. The records include births, marriages, and deaths. The last entry was made by David Windell in 1858. The book is now in the possession of his daughter, Mary Jane.

...that Nation, inform ... that fact; it would ... same time give to France an exact knowledge of the character of its Court, which has not ceased to be the most intriguing, ever since its connection with Germany.
Louis XVI. considered as an individual, is an object beneath the notice of the Republic; but when he is looked upon as a part of that band of conspirators, as a criminal whose trial may lead all the nations in the world to a knowledge and detestation of the disastrous system of Monarchy, and the plots and intrigues of their own courts, he ought to be and must be tried.
Of the crimes for which Louis XVI. is arraigned, were absolutely personal to him, without reference to general conspiracies, and confined to the affairs of France, the motive of inviolability that folly of the moment, might have been urged in his behalf with some appearance of reason; but as he is arraigned not only on the part of France, but for having conspired against all Europe, we ought to use every means in our power to discover the whole extent of that conspiracy. France is now a Republic; she has completed her Revolution; but she cannot earn all the advantages arising from it, as long as she is environed with despotical governments; their armies and marine obliges her likewise to keep troops and ships in readiness. It is therefore her immediate interest, that all nations be as free as herself; that Revolutions be universal; and since Louis the X th can serve to prove, by the flattery of Governments in general, the necessity of Revolutions, she ought not to let slip so precious an opportunity.
The despots of Europe have formed alliances to preserve their respective authority, and to perpetuate the oppression of nations; this is the end which they proposed to themselves in making an invasion on the French territory; they dread the effect of the French Revolution in the bosom of their own countries; and in hopes of preventing it, they are come to try to destroy that Revolution, before it should have attained its perfect maturity. Their attempt has not been attended with success; France has already vanquished their armies; but it is left to her to found the particulars of the conspiracy, to discover, to expose to the eyes of the universe, those despots who had the infamy to take part in it; and the universe expects of her that act of justice.
These are my motives for demanding that Louis XVI. be judged; — and it is in this point of view, that his trial appears to me of sufficient importance to attract the attention of the Republic.
As to what regards inviolability, I would not have such a motive to be mentioned. Seeing no longer Louis XVI. but in a weak-minded and narrow-spirited individual, ill-bred like all his Colleagues; given, as is said, to frequent excesses of drunkenness, and whom the National Assembly raised again imprudently on a throne which was not made for him, if we show him hereafter some pity, it shall not be the result of the burlesque idea of a pretended Inviolability.

Balance unaccounted for 1554983. It appears in the first place, to have been overlooked, that in statement No. 3. of my late report, concerning foreign loans, mention is made, that on the third of January there remained to be received of the proceeds of foreign bills, 632,192 dollars and 2 cents; consequently that sum could not be considered as in the Treasury, and ought to be deducted from the supposed deficiency.
Among the other papers, which it is intimated were consulted, was the original account rendered by the Bank of the United States of the sales of Amsterdam bills, shewing a sum of 605,883 dollars and 8 cents, as having been received by the Bank and two of its Offices of Discount and Deposit for the proceeds of those bills. Had that document been understood, it would have been known, that this sum was in Bank over and above the balance of the Treasurer's cash account; and this also would have served to account for a large part of the supposed deficiency; namely, 605,883 dollars and 8 cents. The course of this transaction will be hereafter explained.
But among the misconceptions which have obtained, what relates to the surplus of revenue for the year 1792, is not the least striking. The laws inform (and consequently no information on that point from this Department could have been necessary) that credits are allowed upon the duties on imports, of 4, 6, 9, 12 months—and in some cases of two years. Reason dictates, that a surplus in such case, must be considered as postponed in the collection or receipts, until all the appropriations upon the fund have been satisfied. The account of receipts and expenditures for the year 1791, in possession of the House, shows that at that time, no less a sum than 1,828,289 dollars and 28 cents, of the antecedent duties were outstanding in bonds. How then could it have happened,

would necessarily have... led the... slowment of the fund for that considerable time... these are some of the disadvantages to the govern- ment. To the Bank alone can no benefit have accrued; which would have been in proportion to the delay in restoring or applying the fund to its primitive destination. Such an operation therefore, could only have been justified by an indisposition on the part of the Bank to facilitate the principal object, without the intervention of actual payment.
But no such indisposition existed. On this, as on every other occasion, a temper liberal towards the government has characterised the conduct of the Di- rectors of that institution.
It was accordingly proposed by me, and agreed to by them, that the object to be accomplished should be carried into effect by a merely formal arrange- ment. In this however it was necessary to consult the injunctions of law, and the principles of the con- stitution of the Treasury Department.
These points then were to be effected, a payment of the Subscription money, to vest the Government with the property of the Stock—possession of the means of paying it, which were to be derived from the foreign fund, and of course were first to be in the Treasury before payment could be made—the repla- cing what should be taken from that fund, by a loan of the Bank.
The following plan for these purposes was devised and executed, by previous concert—
The Treasurer drew bills upon the Commissioners in Amsterdam, for the sums requisite to complete the payment on account of the subscription: These bills were purchased by the Bank, and warrants in favour of the Treasurer upon the Bank served to place the proceeds in the Treasury. Warrants afterwards is- sued upon the Treasurer, in favour of the Bank, for the amount of the subscription money, which was re- ceipted for on the part of the Bank, as paid. Other warrants then issued in favour of the Treasurer, upon the Bank, for equal sums, as upon account of a loan to the government;—which warrants were satisfied by a re-delivery to the Treasurer of the bills that had been drawn upon the Commissioners. In the last place, warrants were drawn upon the Treasurer, to replace the monies supposed by the arrangement to be drawn from the foreign fund, which perfected the operation. But from the detail, which has been giv- en, it will be seen, that in fact no monies were either withdrawn from or returned to that fund. The bills were cancelled, annexed to the warrants, and are lodged in the Treasury as vouchers of the transaction.
THE SITUATION OF LOUIS XVI.
THE 6th of August, at nine o'clock, and the galleries being crowded with people who had been there all night. Manuel moved, that they should be cleared, in order to ventilate the hall; but those who had been much troubled to secure seats, drowned his voice in a general roar, and the Convention could on- ly obtain silence by deciding that it should not be heard. It was then proposed to call the names of the members, but this also was dropped.
Louis left the Temple at nine o'clock, and the National Guard not being assembled time enough to line the streets through which he was to pass, or to form a body round his person, as escorted by a small party of cavalry. The people not being at hand to see him pass, he were not assembled in the street as it were incognito.
Before he came to the bar, he observed that, in denying all knowledge of the key of the papers which concealed the papers pro- duced by Roland, he had probably committed the truth, as the key opened several of the cabinets in his apartments. He therefore proposed that this key should be again produced to him, which was ordered.
At ten, Louis appeared at the bar, attended with his three counsel, ed air as on his examination. He was attended by his three counsel, the mayor of Paris Generals, and Berruyer, and some mem- cipal officers.
The president said, "The Convention has decreed that you shall be finally heard this day, and present your means of defence. Be seated."
Louis replied, "My Counsel, having to speak for me," pointed to M. Defeze, and set down.
Defeze, in an able and eloquent speech, of which the following is an abstract, said,
"Citizens, Representatives of the Nation, The moment is at length arrived, when Louis, accused in the name of the French people, is surrounded by Counsel, grant- ed to him by humanity and the law about to enter on his defence. The silence which at present gives me reason to think that the day of justice has succeeded the days of prejudice. Unfortunately Kings are entitled to more respect than the unfortunate in other ranks of life, and hence they are more generally occupied the most brilli- ant throne in the universe. Before you, he has obeyed with calm- ness and dignity, emulating his innocence, and supported by the testimony of his whole life. He has revealed to us his thoughts. In discussing without passion, and without mature examination, charges which he did not foresee, and being obliged as one may say, to make an extempore defence. It was impossible for Louis not to de- clare to you his innocence. I shall demonstrate—I shall prove duce proper proofs: and I hope with that this hall could be in- stantly enlarged, that the number of those who have received the most fatal impressions against Louis might be hitherto receive impressions of a contrary nature. Louis knows that Europe waits with anxiety for the sentence you are about to pass. He knows that it will be handed down to posterity; but he cares only for his contemporaries—like him, we forget posterity, and look only to the present moment."
"Had I to address only you, I should be satisfied with telling them, that since the nation has abolished royalty, no farther sentence can be pronounced against Louis. but I address the people—I must examine the question under two points of view, that in which Louis was placed before he accepted the constitution, and that in which he stood after he had accepted it."
aw... as the... ment cannot be ap... Has he not a right... you not bring me to... pute your right, but... with to punish me... do you wish to create... vested with every power... being unjust.
"It has been said, that Louis ought to be tried as an enemy. But is he not a very cruel enemy who could put himself at the head of an army against the nation? I have been said, that he was inviolable only in regard to every citizen individually. According to this principle, would not the Representatives of the people be more inviolable in regard to the people for whom they might have done, and en- was enduring a session? I shall quote to you the following pas- sage from Rousseau. 'Here I see neither the law which protects, nor the law which condemns, I will not refer to the general will, for the general will cannot pronounce as the general will either against any man, or any thing.'
"But if you take from Louis the right of being inviolable, you can- not take from him the right of being tried as a citizen; and in the latter case I would ask you, where are these protecting forms; where are these judges, which as it were advantages for the lives and honour of citizens? I would ask you, where is that proportion of penalties which the law has so wisely established? Where is that silent ballot which enucleates in the secret of the conscience, and the opinion of the judge? I speak to you with the openness of a son of freedom. I will to find among you judges and accusers. You will to pass sentence on Louis, and you have been his accusers, you will to pass sentence upon Louis, and you have already expressed your opinions on his case. You will to pass sentence upon Louis, and your opinions are well known all over Europe."
"I now proceed to the act of accusation. You go back to the month of June 1789. I shall go back to the same period; but how could you accuse Louis of having attempted to dissolve the Assem- bly? Do you forget that it was he who convened it? Do you forget that for above a century and an half, Princes more jealous of their authority than he was, have been in the habit of dissolving them? Do you forget that had it not been for Louis, and the numbers of the deputies to which he consented, you would not be here deliberating on the interests of the state? He is accused of having surrounded Paris with troops; but I can say, that these troops were destined only to protect Paris from those who wished to disturb the public tranquility. I had occasion to see the orders given to them when I undertook the defence of the com- mandant, whom the nation without any hesitation acquitted."
"I shall not here take notice of the memoir in which Talon is mentioned as acting a part in a plan formed for a counter-revolution, nor of the papers subjoined to that memoir. Had I to defend a per- son of ordinary rank, I would observe, that a citizen cannot be condem- ned from papers procured by attacking his habitation, unless they had been previously sealed up and an inventory taken of them."
"The habitation of Louis was attacked, and his drawers were broke open. None of them were sealed up, no inventory was taken, and papers which might have been opposed to others may have been con- cealed. The letters of a deceased person are quoted; but are the let- ters of a person deceased be adduced as proof? These letters, it is

would necessarily have, it is a pro- courtment of the fund for that purpose at resolve some of the disadvantages due to truth and to the lone claim for the public interest. I have been four resolutions; because, or apply mation relative to the most delicate the suggestions that have been hazar-
Here however I have to regret the utter impossibility of a strict compliance with the terms of the resolution. The practicability of such a compliance would suppose nothing less than that since the last day of December 1792, all the accounts of all the Collectors of the Customs and other officers of the Revenue throughout the whole extent of the United States could be digested, made up, and forwarded to the Treasury,—could be examined there, settled and carried into the public books under their proper heads. In a word, that all the accounts of the revenues, receipts and expenditures of this extensive country, could have passed throughout a complete exhibition, examination and adjustment, within the short period of twenty-three days.
It was made (as I presume from the result) satisfactory to appear to a Committee of the House of Representatives, who were charged during the last session with framing a direction to the Treasury for bringing forward an annual account of Receipts and expenditures, that the course of public business would not admit of the rendering of such an account in less than nine months after the expiration of each year; in conformity to which idea their report was formed and an order of the House established.
I need do nothing more, to evince the impracticability of an exact compliance with the resolution in question, than to observe, that it is even more comprehensive (though with less detail) than the order of the House to which I have alluded.
To evince nevertheless my readiness to do all in my power towards fulfilling the views of the House, and throwing light upon the transactions of the department, I shall now offer to their inspection sundry statements marked A, A B, C, D, E, F, which contains as far as is at this time possible, the information designed,—and with sufficient accuracy to afford satisfaction on the points of enquiry involved in the Resolution.
The Statement A, shews in abstract the whole of the Receipts into, and Expenditures, from the Treasu-
urers and 83. The balance of the diture is consequently 5 which corresponds with come (including the pro- mestic) beyond the actu- erly speaking.

His letter to the Bishop of Clermont is objected to him; but that letter contains only an opinion purely religious, and was prior to his acceptance of the constitution. When he accepted the constitution, he did not think it free from blemishes; for, in the very act of accepting it, he speaks of legal reforms. He is accused of having paid his guard; but the Assembly in decreeing its discharge, had said that it should be organized anew. It was therefore incumbent on his justice and his humanity to pay it till its new formation. He is accused of having given aid to the emigrants, and of having protected, by his Ambassadors, the coalition of foreign powers. He is accused of his influence at the court of Vienna. I answer, that Louis constantly opposed the efforts of the emigrants. Respecting this, I will cite a fact. Louis was informed by his Resident, of an attempt of the emigrants to obtain arms and ammunition at Frankfort, and of the refusal of the Magistrates of Frankfort. He directed his Resident to thank the Magistrates, and to invite them to persevere in their refusal.
There is not a single emigrant that received aid from him. He provided for the maintenance of his nephews; the eldest was fourteen, the youngest eleven years of age; there was no law that fixed the age at which emigration was a crime: the Convention has made one. The nephews of Louis were without resources; must he stifle the sentiments of humanity. Must he, for being a King, cease to be a human? He gave money to the governess of his children, but she was the governess of his children, and had left France since 1789. Choiseul had been in Italy since 1789, and had never borne arms against France. He gave aid to Rochefort, but Rochefort was not an emigrant. He is accused of having remitted money to Bouille; Bouille's letter says, "I pay to Monsieur, the King's brother, by his order." The truth is, that he never remitted pecuniary aid to Monsieur, and the order in question was the order of Monsieur, and not of the King. All that he did was to give security for his other brother for a sum of 400,000 livres; but this was in 1789, and he was induced to it by motives of humanity.
He is accused of the manoeuvres of Dumourier at the Court of Berlin; but Dumourier was not the agent of Louis, but of the Princes, his brothers.
A letter of Choiseul Gouffier is objected to him. It is supposed, that because he was the Ambassador of Louis, to Louis must his projects be imputed: but the very letter of this Ambassador proves, that it was three days after his recall, and on account of that recall, that he formed an intrigue against the National Ambassador sent to replace him. It was Choiseul who wrote, who acted, who spoke of his services to the Princes, the King's brothers. The billet proves that Louis had no connection with him.
I come now to the charges of the subordination of several members of the Legislative Assembly. This plan reduced the liquidation of officers ten millions; he called the National Treasury, to that amount, and charged the civil list with the interest. We understand the corruption that turns to the profit of personal interest; but a corruption that leaves us all the shame, and gives to another all the profit, we cannot fully comprehend. The fact is, as it appears from the papers communicated to Louis, that it was he alone who prevented the decree from being proposed to the Assembly, and that he expressed displeasure
and he was asked if he knew... "I know, said he, that I delivered my house was forced, and all my keys; but I know no occasion for keys; but I know no keys that are the same that I delivered; I cannot recollect them."
He then retired with the same since he was first brought to the his flush overspread his countenance.
A decree was immediately passed to the Temple; a second that the signed by them and by him, and the words 'the people desired liberty' murmurs in the Convention, and out of their notes, should be replaced.
It was also decreed, that a minute with the assistance of the Counsel, that they should assist in the defence, copies of which were on payments.

BA-J/ILL Ebenezer Kendall R. 5930.
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of Ebenezer Kendall, wife Elizabeth, from Revolutionary War claim, R. 5930. This claim is based upon his service in that war.
The record as found in that pension claim is furnished herein. The family signatures are shown Kendal and Kendall in this claim.
Ebenezer Kendal of Ashford, Windham County, Connecticut, married November 27, 1782, Elizabeth Keys, the daughter of Solomon Keys, also of Ashford. They resided in Eastford, a part of Ashford, from which place they moved to Stafford, in Tolland County, that state. He died September 5, 1805, in his fiftieth year, in Tolland, Connecticut.
Elizabeth Kendal, the widow of Ebenezer, lived after the death of her husband, in Tolland, Connecticut, with her son, Lloyd Kendall (as he signed). She died there July 24, 1838, aged seventy-seven years. she was then in the falls of the year month not stated.
The names of the children of Ebenezer and Elizabeth, his wife, are recorded as follow:
August 23, 1783 : a son, died immediately. November 20, 1784 : a son, still born. December 4, 1786 : Loyd Kendal. March 31, 1788 : Elias Keys Kendal; died March 17, 1793. November 10, 1789 : Amos Kendal. July 22, 1791 : a son who died July 28, 1791. August 10, 1792 : Parcy Kendal. March 11, 1793 : Polly Kendal. February 25, 1796 : Ebenezer Kendal. August 27, 1797 : Elizabeth Kendal. Summer 30, 1801 : Summer Kendal; died July 10, 1803. March 13, 1803 : a daughter, still born.

Three children of Ebenezer and Elizabeth Kendal were still living in 1852; their names are given as Lloyd Kendall, Percy Parker, and Elizabeth Russel.
On May 27, 1852, Lloyd Kendall, a resident of Tolland, Connecticut, applied for the pension which might have been due on account of the services of his father, Ebenezer Kendal, in the Revolutionary War. He applied in behalf of himself and the other surviving children, Percy Parker and Elizabeth Russel.
It was shown in the application that Ebenezer Kendal was a resident of the east part of Ashford, Windham County, Connecticut, during the period of the Revolution, and that, while in the service, he was appointed August 5, 1778, 2 d sergeant of the 3 d company, Colonel Samuel McClellan's regiment of Connecticut troops; it was stated that he served as sergeant in 3 d company, Colonel Samuel McClellan's Connecticut Regiment from February 1778 until March 1, 1779.
The claim was not allowed as proof of service of service of six months was not established as required by the pension law.
In December, 1853, Mary Woodward was a resident of Ashford, Connecticut, aged sixty-six years; she stated then that her father, Edward Keyes, "late of Ashford", was the brother of Elizabeth who married Ebenezer Kendal, the Revolutionary War soldier.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to William Fesler or Feslar, a soldier of the Revolution, of Virginia, and also state that the Ebenezer Kendall, in whom you are interested, is of "an earlier generation" than the one whose history was furnished you by this office, and request any other available data.
The record of Ebenezer Kendall(R.5930) which was furnished you on August 9, 1933, is that of the only soldier of that name, or similar spelling, that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this office and those records fail to show a claim for pension or bounty land on file on account of the services of any soldier with surname Fesler or Feslar. Such claims are the source of the data furnished by this office.

This paper is not authenticated - but if it were, it would add nothing to the evidence on file when this claim was disallowed. Proof already existed that Colonel McClellan's Regiment was, probably in service more than 6 months.

State of Connecticut Comptroller's Office Hartford May 21 st 1851
I certify, that on application for evidence of the service of Ebenezer Kindal in the war of the Revolution, I have examined the Rolls and documents remaining in this office, and do not find any Pay Roll of Service in Col. Samuel M c Clintan's Regiment in 1777 & 78.
I find in this office an original document of his time under the following caption viz "To the Honorable General Assembly, of the State of Connecticut now sitting at Hartford, Octo r Session 1778." "The Petition of the Commissioned Officers, Non Commissioned Officers and Soldiers in the Battalion under the command of Col d Samuel M c Clintan being one of the Battalions included in the two Brigades raised by order of the Gen l Assembly at their adjourned Session in Febr y 1777-78."
Among the names signed to this petition is that of Ebenezer Kindal Sergeant .
From the State documents it appears, that Col. M c Clintan's Regiment was raised by order of the General Assembly, at the Adjourned Session in February 1777-78, to be kept up until the 1 st day of March

1799 unless sooner discharged.
R. G. Pinney, Comptroller by Geo. Robinson Clerk.

Hon. L. P. Waldo
Herewith I send you further evidence in the case of the "Heirs of Elizabeth Wendell" the records in the Comptroller Office in this State show (it seems to me) conclusively that the Regiment of Samuel McClellan which by the "Act of the State" was raised for one year "unless sooner discharged by the General Assembly" did perform actual service from March 1 st 1778 to March 1 st 1779. The former certificate of the Comptroller says that Ebenezer Wendell was a Sergeant in Col. S. McClellan's Regt. raised for one year in 1778 and 1779, — the certificate now filed shows that the Company Officers & soldiers of that Regiment did perform "actual service" and that their service was of such an extraordinary character that the General Assembly of Connecticut ordered that they be allowed " double pay " during their term of service — the sum allowed Col. McClellan by the "committee of pay table" for his Field and Staff Officers alone "£ 2772. 16," shows presumptively that they were paid for one full years service — The payment for the Companies in said Regt. was made to their respective Captains, they being made pay masters of their respective companies, as by their petition and the subsequent action of the Gen l Assembly thereon fully appears.

The "Pay table" does not show the actual no. of the respective companies in said Regt, therefore who commanded the "3 d Company" I was unable to ascertain — but the accounts of the Committee of Pay table are to "Capt. — for his Company (McClellan Regt)" and to Capt. — for his Company (Pinos Regt, D.C. & B.), the original pay rolls it is supposed were destroyed in the War Office when it was burnt
I hope and trust that the accompanying proof will be sufficient and satisfactory to establish the claim
Very Respectfully Yours Horace Gaylord

Statement of the account
Lloyd Wendall for attorneys of Pension due Lucy Wendall widow of Ebenezer Wendall

In the matter of Lloyd Kendrick's application for an allowance of Pension due Mary Kendrick widow of Ebenezer Kendrick under the act of July 7, 1838.
Ebenezer Kendrick was a Sergeant in the Army of the Revolution, and served one year in Colonel Samuel M c Clellan's Regiment, to wit, from March 1778 to March 1779.
His warrant as Sergeant is filed in the case and authenticated by the deposition of Lloyd Kendrick. This warrant is signed by Samuel M c Clellan Colonel dated at White Plains August 5, 1778, and gives the grade of sergeant. This document is attached to the deposition of Lloyd Kendrick.
The Certificate of the Comptroller of Public Accounts for the State of Connecticut on file, shows the name of Ebenezer Kendrick to be upon a petition now in his office purporting to be a petition of the commissioned and noncommissioned Officers and soldiers in the Battalion under the command of Col l Samuel M c Clellan, being one of the Battalions included in the two Brigades raised by order of the Gen l Assembly at their adjourned Session in Feby. 1778.
This Certificate further shows that it appears from the State documents at Hartford, Connecticut, that Col. M c Clellan's Regiment was raised by order of the General Assembly, at the adjourned Session in Feby. 1778, to be Ret d & Dis d until the 1 st day of March 1779 unless service discharged. This Certificate proves the length of service.
The description of Ephraim Lyon aged Eighty five years, Heath shows that Lyon was a companion with Ebenezer Kendrick, and that he also

Knew that Windull enlisted as a Sergeant in Colonel Starmel M c Collum's Regiment in the war of the Revolution, and that he subsequently married Lucy Mayes. He also identifies the Ebenezer Windull who lived near the Connecticut as the same man.
The deposition of Joseph Spaulding is substantial to the same facts. Spaulding is eighty seven years of age. These depositions identify the Ebenezer Windull who was the husband of Lucy Mayes to be the same man that was Sergeant in Col. M c Collum's Regiment of 1812.
The marriage of Ebenezer Windull and Elizabeth Mayes on the 27 th day of November 1782 is proved by the affidavits of the Hon. Andrew S. Judson, Judge of the District Court for the District of Connecticut showing a copy of his father's records, and also by the Family records of Ebenezer Windull made by himself and authenticated by the deposition of Abigail Windull to which it is offered. These two records are verified by the other depositions in the case showing the reputation and identification of these parties as husband and wife.
The decree of Lucy Windull widow of Ebenezer Windull is proved by the deposition of Abigail Judson to have taken place July 24, 1838. He was her Physician and was present when she executed her last. This fact is also found by the Judge of the Court of Probate for the District of Tolland in Tolland County, as by his certificate appended to the application of Lloyd Windull will appear.
The surviving children of the Lucy Windull are found to be Lloyd Windull, Percy Parker and Elizabeth Nurse as will appear by the certificate of the Judge of Probate given.

A claim in this case, a pension for one year, known as Sixy cent, the pension to commence on the 4 th of March 1836 and to end on the 24 th of July 1838 when Mrs. Wendell deceased. The certificate is given to her surviving children Lloyd Wendell, Percy Parker and Elizabeth Russell.
After examination I have certified with me at Tolland, Tolland County, Connecticut.

I Ahijah Ladd of Tolland in the County of Tolland and State of Connecticut aged sixty three years do desire and say that I have lived in the town of Tolland of record the most of the time since I was born, and during my minority I lived in the Northern part of said Tolland. I was early acquainted with Ebenezer Kinsdale and his wife Elizabeth Kinsdale and recollect of hearing it said that Mr. Kinsdale had been a soldier in the army of the Revolution. While I was a boy I lived near Mr. Kinsdale and I have no doubt from common report but that he was in the revolutionary service. I have been a practicing Physician for nearly forty years, and have doctor'd in the family of Mr. Lloyd Kinsdale with whom Mr. Elizabeth Kinsdale lived after the decease of her husband Ebenezer Kinsdale. I was called to see and take care of Mr. Elizabeth Kinsdale during her last sickness and was present when she breathed her last. This was on the 24 th day of July A. D. 1838. I recollect the day from a charge I made against Mr. Lloyd Kinsdale for a rent made to his mother on that day. I also keep a record of the deaths of all persons who decease in this town and I find upon said record the following entry made by me at the time it purports to have been made. "1838 July 24. Widow Elizabeth Kinsdale 77. 78 in the full Mr. Ebenezer Kinsdale came to Tolland from Stafford, and he came to Stafford from the town of Ashford in Windham County, and further south west."

Sir
The application of Elizabeth Kindal dec. of 64 for the benefit of the act of July 7 1838. has been received and filed. It is claimed that her husband served as Sergeant one year in Col McClelland's Regt. There is no evidence before me that he served in that capacity or in any other, longer than from Aug 5 1778, the date of his commission, to October of the same year, the date of his petition to the Hartford Assembly. The witnesses do not attempt to give any length of service, nor, indeed, does it seem that they could do so, for they were not soldiers and not in a position to state his services more fully than they have done.
It must be shown that he served, at least, six months before a Pension can be allowed. Hon. L. D. Waldo Esq Tolland Cont

State of Connecticut Comptroller's Office Hartford March 9 th 1854
I certify, that on application for evidence of the service of Ebenezer Kendal as a Sergeant in the war of the Revolution, I have examined the documents remaining in this office, and found the name of Eben. Kendal, Sergeant, signed to a Memorial addressed to the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut at its October Session A.D. 1778. Said Memorial or Petition is signed by the Non Commissioned Officers & Privates of Col. Samuel McClellan's Regiment praying for an increase of pay, for the reason, that the prices of provisions & necessaries of life were so enhanced that the pay was by no means an adequate reward for their services. Said Memorial was referred to a Committee who reported as their opinion that said Officers and Soldiers should be allowed double the sum of their wages stipulated at the time of their entering into the service, during the time they have been in actual service. The following Resolution passed the Upper House Jan'y. 1779. "Resolved by this Assembly that the two Battalions under the Command of Colonels Eno & McClellan, that is to say the Non Commissioned Officers and Privates be allowed further as a bounty forty shillings per Month, besides their stipulated wages during the time they have been in actual service the last Campaign, and that the Commission and Staff Officers in said Battalions be allowed one third part advance of

"their wages stipulated as aforesaid" &c.
And it was farther "Resolved by the Assembly that the Officers and Soldiers of the Militia, and of the two Battalions Commanded by Cols. Eno and McClellan, belonging to this State, that have been in actual service for the defence of this and the rest of the United States in the year 1778, be and are hereby entitled to the same provision and allowances for their losses, expenses &c. in the same manner and under the same regulations as have been heretofore granted and allowed in the premises, in all respects, the officers and soldiers of the new levies & Militia and the Committee of the Pay Table are hereby directed to receive and adjust their accounts and draw orders for the same accordingly."
I also find among the documents in this Office the Memorial of Saml. McClellan under date of "Hartford 24 th day of Jan y . 1779." addressed to the General Assembly setting forth that he was appointed Colonel of a Regt. ordered to be raised by this State to serve one year from the 1 st day of March last, and in order to pay the Bounties allowed to said Regt. he rec d on the 18 th day of June an order on the Treasury for £1,000. Lawful Money, but that he could not obtain the money for the order for the reason that there was no money in the Treasury &c.
The following is a copy of a bill in form which passed the General Assembly at that Session.
"Upon the Memorial of Col. Saml. McClellan &c."
