Mrs. C.J.Radcliffe 18 Chestnut Street Shelton, Connecticut
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Joseph Moger, a soldier of the Revolutionary War from Connecticut, whose widow, Hulda Farlow, received a pension on account of his services.
The data which follow are obtained from the papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, W.25567, based upon the military service of Joseph Moger in that war.
The date and place of birth and the names of the parents of Joseph Moger are not shown.
While a resident of Trumbull, Connecticut, Joseph Moger enlisted and served as a private in Captain Josiah Lacey's Company, Colonel Philip B. Bradley's 5 th Connecticut Regiment; length of service, three years, ten months and sixteen days. No dates are given for his service.
The soldier married August 29, 1784, Hulda Hubbard. Their marriage was recorded on the church records of the Congregational Church, of Trumbull, Connecticut. The date and place of birth of Hulda and the names of her parents are not stated.
Joseph Moger died January 21, 1791, at Trumbull, Connecticut, and his widow, Hulda, married in March, 1793, in North Stratford, Connecticut, William Farlow, with whom she lived for nearly two years, when he left her and she heard nothing from him until 1811, when word came to Trumbull, Connecticut, where she was then residing, that said William Farlow had died somewhere in New York state.
Hulda Farlow was allowed pension on account of the services of her former husband, Joseph Moger, in the Revolutionary War by special act of Congress, approved July 9, 1842. In 1838, she gave her age as seventy-two years.

[To accompany bill H. R. No. 141.]
FEBRUARY 9, 1842.
Mr. TALIAFERRO, from the Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, made the following
REPORT :
The Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, to whom the petition of Huldah Farlow was referred, concur in the report made at the 3d session 25th Congress, hereto annexed, and numbered 248, and report a bill.
FEBRUARY 6, 1839.
The Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, to whom was referred the petition of Huldah Farlow, report :
Huldah Farlow, of Newtown, Connecticut, declares that she was married to Joseph Moger on the 29th day of August, 1784, a private soldier in the army of the Revolution, who served therein three years ten months and sixteen days; that Moger died in 1791; that she was afterwards married to William Farlow, in 1793; that the said Farlow lived with your petitioner nearly two years, and then deserted her; and that she has never seen him since. He was reported to have died in 1811. She has never since heard any thing concerning him, and believes him to be dead: to this declaration the petitioner makes oath.
It is proved by the certificate of the comptroller, at Hartford, that it appears from his records that Moger served three years ten months and sixteen days; and a sworn copy of the church record is adduced, to prove the marriage. The long absence of Farlow (unheard from for almost forty-five years) is sufficiently conclusive evidence of his death. Your petitioner is, then, clearly entitled to the benefits of the act of 1838, upon every sound construction of the law and the evidence in the case. And the committee report a bill.

Dear Sir: ^
Hulda Farlow, widow of Joseph Moger , a soldier in the Connecticut line, drew a pension, No. 25567.
Would it be possible for me to find out the particulars of said pension? Why it was granted, and where the said Hulda lived while she was receiving it? And if the name Farlow would indicate that she married again, or that her maiden

name was Farlow:
My gr. gr. grandfather Joseph Moger died, according to records, "of wounds received in the Revolutionary War." And his wife's maiden name was Huldah Hubbard . At least, that is what I think. The young lady at the New Haven Historical Society told me yesterday that the "Farlow" name showed that Joseph Moger's widow married a second time.
I would very much like to know, and would esteem it a favor to hear from you, and appreciate your kindness in replying.
Very truly
