State of New York
County of Greene } ss. On this 29th day of October 1830 personally appeared before Perkins King one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the County of Greene, and being a Court of Record Goodman Noble, Resident in said County aged Seventy four Years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the provisions made by the Acts of Congress of March 18th 1818 and May 1st 1820: That he the said Goodman Noble enlisted for the term of Three Years in the Spring of the Year 1777 in the State of Connecticut, in the Company Comman- ded by Captain Hall, in the Regiment commanded by Colonel Swift, in the Line of the State of Connecticut on the Continuen- tal Establishment That he continued to serve in the said Corps until the expiration of the said term of Three Years when he was discharged from the service at Morristown in the State of New Jersey; That he hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension except the present; That his name is not on the Roll of any State except Connecticut; That the following is the reason of his not making an earlier State muster of the changes in his circumstances & property That by reason of illness he has been unable to attend Court and until lately was unacquainted with the provisions of the Act of March 1st 1823 That the number of his original pension cer- tificate is 14.802 And in pursuance of the Act of May 1st 1820 I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18th day of March 1818 and that I have not since that time, by gift, sale, or in any manner disposed of my property or any part thereof with intent thereby so to diminish it, as to bring myself within the provisions of an act entitled "an act to provide for certain persons engaged in the Land & Naval Service of the United States in the Revo- lutionary War passed on the 18th day of March 1818 And that I have not, nor has any person in trust for me any property or se- curities, contracts or debts due to me, nor have I any income other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed and by me subscribed; That since the 18th day of March 1818 the following changes have been made in my property - That on the 18th of March 1818 I was possessed of a farm of about Seventy

Seventy acres subject to a Mortgage That in the Year 1820 I deeded to my Son Gideon about Thirty Eight acres, in con- sideration of his labour & services, And in fulfilment of a con- tract made with the said Gideon in or about the Year 1815 That the said Gideon had from the Year 1810 at which time he was of age, to the year 1820 laboured with and for me, and that the Deed for the said Thirty Eight acres was paid to him in consideration of his services, That the mortgage abovementioned was originally given about or in the 1795 to James Tyler of the City of New York, for money at that time had of him to pay for the said place That the said mortgage was renewed about the Year 1808 and that there is now due on the said mortgage about $220.00 That the personal property on the said place, in the Year 1820 belonged to the said Gideon Robb except the cooking utensils, and other necessary furniture for a small family That in or about the month of August 1823 being utterly unable to support myself by reason of sickness my sons Nathaniel, James, and Walker by reason of the nat- ural Affection they bore me offered to take the place consist- ing of Thirty Two acres and to support myself and Wife during our natural lives That I accordingly gave to them simply a Deed of the said place subject to the said mortgage That at the time of executing the said Deed to my three sons abovementioned the said place was not considered either on their part or mine as an equivalent for the support promised to my Wife and myself, but it was considered that by dividing the expense of our support among the three, it could be sustained without proving oppressive to any; That soon after executing the said Deed my son James died leaving a family in such indigent circumstances as to be utterly unable to render myself or Wife any assistance That my Son Nathaniel resides in a distant County and is unwilling to render any assistance, and has since the execution of the Deed aforesaid withheld all aid in the support of my Wife and myself; That I now reside with my son Walker and have together with my Wife resided with him for seven years last past That the whole burden and expense of the support of myself and Wife have been sustained by him for the above period That if I except the obtaining of a pension in the year 1819 and the being removed from the pension list soon after the above

are all the changes which have been made in my property since the 18th day of March 1818; That the said farm added to my three sons before mentioned is valued by separate from the Mortgage which encumbers it, by the Town Assessors who are sworn to appraise property at its real cash value, at Three hundred Dollars. That my family consists of my Wife Sarah and myself. That for twenty years last past I have been afflicted by a disease called "The Stone" and that for seven years last past have been almost constantly under the care of a Physician. That I am at present confined to my bed for the most part of the time, and am by reason of the above disease unable to appear personally in Court. That my Wife Sarah is aged about Seventy Three Years, and is from bodily infirmity but little able to aid in her support. That I have no property other whatever other than the promise or agreement of my three sons before mentioned and which from the death of one son and the refusal of another I consider virtually now annulled.
Sworn and declared this 29th day of October
Goodman Noble
1830 before me Perkins King, The aforesaid Judge
State of New York County of Greene } ss I Charles C. Abel Clerk of the court of the County aforesaid, do certify that Perkins King before whom the above affidavit of Goodman Noble who is now sick and confined to his house was made is Judge as aforesaid. I also certify that the said oath and statement of property have been admitted to the records of the said Court, and that the same are truly copied therefrom. And I do further certify that from satisfactory evidence adduced, it is the opinion of the said Court that the foregoing agreement between Goodman Noble and his sons Nathaniel James & Walker hath long since been considered by all the Parties as virtually annulled, and that the said agreement would have been formally annulled but for the minority of the heirs of the said James which renders them unable to contract. That it further appears to the satisfaction of the said Court that that the said Walker Noble hath supported the said Goodman Noble and his Wife for seven years last past, and hath expended in their

support more than the value of the whole farm, considering its encumbrances by mortgage. And that if an equitable settlement were to be made between the Parties the said Goodman Noble would be destitute of property. And I further certify that the annexed certificate of the said Judge is truly copied from the record of the said Courts.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said Courts on this Twelfth  Twenty third day of November  December 1830.

Sir enclosed you have the declaration of Anne Noble with the evidence sustaining the same, and my authority to act as her attorney.
I am also directed to make the following statement and to ask the favour of an opinion from your department on the subject. It appears that the claim of the late Goodman Noble to his pension, was allowed in 1819 yet owing as I am informed to his not having furnished the schedule of his property required at that time, he did not receive any portion of his pension, until about sixteen months prior to his death, and then not the amount of two years pay, leaving unclaimed thirteen years of his pension. Does the fact of his having received a pension for a short time before his death debar his representatives from recovering the amount that accrued from the time his certificate was granted in 1819 until he commenced drawing his pension in 1833 - - Soliciting the favour of an answer to at your earliest convenience.
I am very respectfully

To the honorable the senate and house of representatives of the United States in con- gress convened.
The memorial of the undersigned, Gaoarmon Noble, of the town of Cairo County of Greene & State of New York humbly represents, that he was a soldier of the revolution, that in the year 1775 he enlisted as a private & mar- ched to Canada under General Montgomery was at the siege of St Johns & in a battle with the Indians; that at Charnelle he was the only one who volunteered as a spy under Col. Ethan Allen to ascertain what the Canadians stood affected towards the Amer- ican cause; that he then volunteered under Col. Allen to take Nasqueal, and that he was one of three who escaped when Col Allen was taken; that he then returned back to the siege of St Johns, to the army, when his term of service expired; that he then volun- teered under General Montgomery to take Mont- real; that when he reached that place the Brit- ish having evacuated it he returned home. That in the year 1778 when the British came to the White Plains he volunteered in General Washington army & remained in it during that campaign & was discharged; that in December of that year he volunteered for the winter cam- paign & was stationed above Kings Bridge & re- mained there until spring; that during the time he was there he was in a battle with the Indians

and that some time after he returned home, the term for which he volunteered having expired. That in May 1777 he enlisted & served in the continental army as stated in his affidavit herewith annexed, made the 9th day of October 1880; That during that enlistment he was in the battle of Germantown & there so badly wounded as to be carried from the field of battle, the effect of which wound he feels to this day. That in the year 1778 he was in the battle at Saratoga; That having served the three years for which he enlisted he was discharged as stated in said affidavit.
That your memorialist whilst in the service of his country lost, mainly by means of continental money, from the effects of which he never recovered; That he is now old, infirm, poor & dependent; That by the spirit of the laws passed for the benefit of soldiers of the revolution he thinks he is entitled to a pension; But that having made application to the war department his claim has been rejected because it does not come precisely within the rules there prescribed. He therefore feels himself under the necessity of humbly petitioning your honorable body for relief; and he prays that your honorable body may in its wisdom see fit to pass a special act granting him a pension; and as in duty bound will ever pray.
