I Ezra Clapp, now of Natick in the County of Middlesex Commonwealth of Massachusetts, aged seventy seven years & upwards do hereby testify & say, that I am, & always have since my youth been well acquainted with Richard Simocks, recently of Natick deceased. & that I have during the time aforesaid been also acquainted with his wife, who is now living, at the age of eighty four years as I believe, from my recollection, & from her appearance & my information. She now resides with Monardah, or Benadah Sacket of Martinsburg, Lewis County, New York, & has resided there a number of years past, & I have frequently seen her there.
I further state that they were married before the war & had two or three children before that time. I was not present at the wedding, but I remember the time when it took place, & that, immediately after that, the parties went to house-keeping, & lived with each other ever after, till his death. I should think that they were married in the winter of 1772 in the month of November or December.
I further state that, the not present when he enlisted, I remember hearing at the time that he did enlist as a minute-man under then Capt. Wareham Parks of this town for the space of six months: that I saw the company embodied in this town, the said Richard being one of them. & I also saw him performing duty in said company at Roxbury under said Parks: & I have no doubt but that he saw the whole time of his said enlistment.

Sir
Yours of the 23 rd July last informing me that in the case of Mrs. Zenaida Nimon, her husband's name could not be found on the Rolls of Captain Parks Company, was read and the information communicated with Mr. Sacket her guardian.
Mr. Sacket has made enquiry and still believes that he served under Capt. Parks in 1775 & under Capt. David Mosely in 1776. but he learns that instead of serving as a private he served as orderly Sergeant .
Mr. Sacket requests me call your attention to this fact and to ask you to make a second examination of the Rolls of those companies & see if the name of Richard Nimon cannot be found as orderly Sergeant in those companies.
Respectfully Yours &c
J. L. Edwards Esqr Commr. of Pensions
