That she is the Widow of Timothy Pike a native of Framingham in the County of Middlesex, and that he rendered service in the Revolution as follows, Viz:
That he enlisted into the service of the United States during the War, on the twenty first day of June A.D. 1778, and entered on duty in a company commanded by Capt Barnes and that he was promoted to a corporal on the third day of August A.D. 1778, and served as corporal in Capt. Holdens Company in Col. Pioneers Regiment until the thirty first day of December A.D. 1779.
Also, Twelve Months service as corporal in a company commanded by Capt. Playes in Col. Pioneers Regt. from the first day of January to the thirty first day of December A.D. 1780.

Also, Five Months and nine days service, in a Light Infantry Company commanded by Capt Peter Gayes, commencing on the twenty second day of July, and ending on the thirty first day of December A.D. 1782.
She is of the impression that her said husband employed a brother of his, by the name of John Pike, to do some service as a substitute for him. But she is not able to state at what time or how long. She further Declared, that she was Married to husband the said Timothy Pike at a time when he was at home on a furlough. That the ceremony was performed by the Revd David Wellogg, Pastor of the first Church and Society in Framingham, in the County of Middlesex, on the first day of February A.D. 1783, and that according to the best of her recollections she believes her husband's furlough was extended to the close of the war by reason of a decline of a consumptive health, which terminated his existence at his residence in Framingham on the last part of April A.D. 1784.
That she again Married to Joseph Brigham of Marlborough on the twentieth day of April A.D. 1786. That the said Joseph Brigham Died at his residence in Marlborough aforesaid, on the twenty fifth day of August A.D. 1810. She has always understood and verily believes that the said Joseph Brigham also rendered service in the States service at the time of the Revolution.
That she again Married to James Stone of Northborough in the aforesaid County of Worcester on the first day of January A.D. 1812, and she has always understood and verily believes that the said James Stone also rendered service in the Revolution, and that her last husband the said James Stone Died at his residence in Northborough where she now resides on the twenty seventh of December 1828.

and that she was a Widow on the fourth of March 1836 and still remains a Widow as will more fully appear by reference to the proof hereto annexed, and that her maiden name was Anna Bather,
