Affidavit of Theophilus Sanborn in Plummer Pigeon case

I Theophilus Sanborn of Bristol in the County of Grafton and State of New Hampshire do hereby certify that Phinehas Page was out in the Revolutionary Service with me as a Sol- -dier in the years 1775 and 1776. — Said Page then resided in Kensington and I resided in Parker in this State, but said Page never re- -sided in Andover in this State. — We were at Winter Hill near Boston in the New Hamp- -shire militia Service in 1775 but how long at that time he said Page was there, I do not now remem- -ber. — While at Winter Hill said Page and myself enlisted into the Continental Service; he enlisted into Capt. Salbridge's company and I and some others into Capt. Tilton's company belonging to Col. Pease Regiment; Col. Pease, Dufee was Lieut. Colonel and Joseph Gilley was Major. — We marched from Winter Hill March 29th 1776 to Providence, thence to Norwich in Connecticut, thence to New London from thence we took shipping and sailed to

the City of New York, after which we sailed up the North River to Albany, from there we marched to Lake George and Lake Champlain after that we marched on Lake from Crown Point to St Johns, Cham- plains & Sault to Montreal, and soon afterwards retreated by orders of General Sullivan  St. Clair  and  St. Clair to Crown Point by way of St Johns where we had the small Pox. — Col. Cilly had it and Captain Saltridge died with it. —
We again marched back to Albany and then had orders to march to Boston and after we had been two days on the march for Boston we then had counter orders to march to Mount to New Town in Pennsylvania. — After this we marched to Trenton where we had the battle in December, though I believe said Page was in that part of the army which was not in the Trenton Battle, and soon after I returned home and whether said Page came home at that or about that time I do not remember; but I well remember that said Page was in the Service in said Regiment during said

Marches as I have enumerated them and my brother Theobald Sanborn and others who were out with me can testify to the same facts that I have. — Said Page myself and the Soldiers generally enlisted into the Continental Service at Winter Hill belonging to said Poor's Regiment in the Fall of 1775 before our time of Service in the Militia had expired. —

Winthrop Row's Company of Col. Enoch Poor's Regiment & remained at Winterhill & about Boston until the Month of December 1775 about the Last of December 1775 I enlisted into Captain Tilton's Company for one year on the Continental establishment of the said Phinehas Page enlisted into Captain Saltridge's company of Colonel Enoch Poor's Regiment for one year on the Continental Establishment about the last of December 1775 I was well acquainted with said Phinehas Page I knew him to serve as a faithful soldier during all the Winter of 1776 & during the Spring and summer of 1776. Captain Saltridge's company & Captain Tilton's company served together, were on guard, fatigue & police duty together, promiscuously & marched did the duties of Soldiers together during the whole of the time until in the Month of December 1776.
Continued

Sometime in the month of December 1876 we were ordered to march from Bethlehem in Pennsylvania to Trenton. I do not recollect of seeing Phinehas Page after I marched towards Trenton until after I was discharged. I was well acquainted with said Page after he returned, he informed me he was left sick in Hospital and was discharged as soon as he was able to return towards home. Before I entered the army I lived at Doctor Row's in Kensington and frequently worked near said Page & was very intimate with him, which particularly rendered us intimate while in the Army my Brother Theophilus was in the Army with me in Captain Tilton's Company, but he went from Poplin.
