Notary public in and for said County personally came Daniel French of the age who being duly sworn deposes & saith
That he has been acquainted with Joseph O'Neil, now deceased since the year 1800. as he has before stated his wife is the daughter of him & Susanna O'Neil, who is the widow of the said Joseph, sur- viving him. That said Joseph resided in Fin- mouth Vermont and as early as this affiant first knew the said Joseph he was an intempe- rate man. & the habit increased upon him with his years. and about the year 1809- he became so intemperate as to be incapable of taking care of himself or family & providing them with the necessaries or comforts of life. the family therefore broke up. Miss O'Neil supporting her- self & part of the children by sewing & keeping house.
Then himself had no local habitation or place of residence but wandered about some- times spending his time with the children & some times at other places. In the year 1818. he came to Ohio. (This affiant having come in 1815, and spent about a year with this affiant, while here he discovered the act of 1818. embraced his claim as a pensioner and returned to Vermont. & made his applica- tion to the War Office & was put on the pen- sion Roll. - Miss O'Neil came to Ohio in

1824 or about that period & has resided with her children up to the present time.
Miss Owen never did live with her husband from the period above named until his death which took place in 1824. as had her pension to the War office. Third answer & his statements in the above are that he had no family residing with him in 1820.

Sir I don't know as I can add any thing to accompanying affidavit. It is true Mr. Owen did not live with his family for the reasons set forth in said affidavit. I suppose however that circumstance can make no difference in her claim to the pension of her husband. She is for all that his lawful widow.

Dear Sir:
I wish to obtain facts in relation to my great-grandmother, Susanna Newell Owen who, as widow of the Revolutionary Soldier, Joseph Owen, applied for a pension March 6, 1871. At that time she was living in Lake County, Ohio.
She was married in Simsbury, Vermont, in 1787.
If there is anything in the records to show where she was born, or the names of her parents, that is, their first names, kindly let me know the fee required for transmitting such information.

Dear Sir:-
Will you kindly send me any record you may have of the following named Revolutionary Soldiers who were ancestors of mine.
Cephas Kent who lived at Housatonic VT. he was (I think) aid-de-camp to Gen. Montgomery, and with him when he fell. Wife was Lydia Sheldon.
Joseph Albee who at one time lived at Cannonith VT. died at Poultney VT. I always supposed he married Susanna Porter, but a cousin has found through some War record - a Joseph Albee

who enlisted at Brookfield and who married Susanna Hovey. I think probably they are the same and that perhaps Susanna Porter was previously married to a Mr. Hovey. My family were connected with both Porters & Hoveys, and I would be very glad to find her maiden name. Joseph Oliver was a pensioner of my great grandfather.

Dear Sir,
Will you kindly send to me a copy of the Rev. War Record of Joseph Ourn who enlisted at Brookfield Mass. in 1777 served three years. - His wife Susanna Newell of Limmouth Pt. -
Joseph Ourn was a son of —(?) Ourn. who was a soldier in the French & Indian war also the war of the Revolution. - Joseph lived for some time at Iowa Pt.
The census records of Iowa Pt for 1790 show that Joseph and Samuel Ourn lived in Iowa at that time.
(over)

I'm inclined to think that Samuel was Joseph's father. There was one Samuel Ann who served as a Rev. Soldier for 8 months who enlisted at Brookfield. - Was he a pensioner? If so I would like much to have a copy of his record and any data that would help me trace the family. Also do the records show that he was a soldier in the French and Indian War.
Town and Church records have been examined and so far no clue to the ancestry of Joseph have we found. - We simply know that Joseph was a resident of Brookfield later of Ira and Tunworth, and that his father was a soldier in both wars. We are very anxious to learn the name of Joseph Burns Father & mother.
Thanking you in advance for your kindness in advising me what you may find I remain respectfully
Harriet French 455- East 5 th St Watsonville California.
