On this seventh day of February A.D. eighteen hundred and fiftyfour, personally appeared before the Probate Court for the District of Hartford within said County of Windsor which is a court of record, Mary Parmenter a resident of Rochester in the county of Windsor and State of Vermont aged ninetyfive years, who first being duly sworn according to law, doth, on her oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefits of the provision made by the act of Congress, passed on the 3 rd February 1853 granting pensions to widows of persons who served during the Revolutionary War; that she is the Widow of Thomas Parmenter who was a soldier in the Revolutionary war from the town of Sudbury in the State of Massachusetts, and is supposed and believed to have served in the Revolutionary war as a private in Capt. Woods company stationed at said Sudbury for the term of nine months & afterward to have served in Capt Haskell's company in Col. Hewitt's Regt. of the Massachusetts troops. And who received a pension for said service under the act of 1832 at the rate of $50.00 per annum. paid at the Burlington Vt. agency living at that time in Pittsfield in the State of Vermont.
That her said husband Thomas Parmenter received his said pension till about the year 1833 or 1834 (she cannot tell the time precisely & respectfully refers to the records to show the time) and then for some unknown cause his pension ceased or was withheld by the agent who had paid it previously! That her said husband was feeble but went to Rutland to try to get some one to help him to get his money but was told no money had come for him; that soon after that time he was sick and became insane or lost his reason.

Hundred and fortytwo, that evidence herewith furnished will show the precise time. That she recollects that he died eleven years ago last autumn which is as nearly as she can now recollect. That after her said husband was taken sick he had no one to assist him to call for his pension and therefore his pension remained unclaimed for more than eight years before his death.

I have held the office of Justice of the Peace in this County for more than thirty years. In the year 1835, I married the said Thomas Parmenter to Mrs. Mary Brown and then at that time recorded said marriage in the book of record of Marriages which I keep. The following is a true copy of the original record now in my office.
State of Vermont } Rutland County } Be it remembered, That at Pittsfield on the 23 rd day of January eighteen hundred and thirty five, Thomas Parmenter and Mary Brown, were legally joined in marriage by me, Erastus Holt, Justice of the Peace

He died in the town of Pittsfield in the fall of the year (1842) eighteen hundred and forty two. I was at his funeral.
Mary Parmenter, who now applies for a pension, Resides in the adjoining town of Rochester, and is now a widow, and is the widow of the identical Thomas Parmenter above described. The said Thomas Parmenter sick for several years

On this ninth day of February A.D. eighteen hundred and fifty four personally appeared before me the undersigned a Justice of the Peace within and for the aforesaid County Thomas Parmenter a resident of Pittsfield in said County, a son of Thomas Parmenter senior deceased, of lawful age and sound mind and memory who being first duly sworn according to law do testify and say; That his father Thomas Parmenter moved from Sudbury in the state of Massachusetts about fifty years ago; That on the passage of the act of Congress of June 7, 1832, his said father applied for a pension under that act for Revolutionary services - That Robert Temple his father's Attorney informed his said father that evidence of his services would be required; That by re- quest of his said father he (Thomas Parmenter junior) went to Sudbury Massachusetts for evidence of his services and procured the testimony of Michael Balcomb & Abel Parmenter in favor of the claim. Said Michael Balcomb and Abel Parmenter were disinterested persons, and he believes persons of truth and veracity; That the next morning after procuring their Affidavits he went to the County Clerk and got his certificate attached and started for Vermont; That his said father then sent said papers as evidence, in his claim to Pension, to R. Temple of Rutland; This was about the month of June 1833; That in the fall of the same year his said father received some Pension; That he does not know whether his said father kept his certificate in his own possession; That he lived near his father, but never saw his Certificate of Pension; That the suppo- sition is that it was in the possession of R. Temple at his (said Temple's) death; That after said Temple's death he went, at the request of his father, to Rutland to try to obtain his semiannual payment or get such information or help that it might be received, but no one was willing to assist in the business, and the matter rested for the time; That his said father was feeble in body then and afterward was shocked with palsy - his reason failed him and thus he continued till his death, which is

the reason, or which was the cause why nothing effectual was done in procuring the pension in his said father's lifetime; that his said father while his reason lasted tried to get some one to assist him but failed and never received what was due him at his death.
He further states that about the year 1885 his said father married Mrs Mary Brown who survived his said father and now lives a widow in the adjoining town of Rochester. He states that his said father received no pension from the time it first ceased in the year 1883 or 1884.
He states that his said father Thomas Parmenter died at Pittsfield on the twenty third day of October A.D. eighteen hundred and forty two aged eighty six years and some months or in the 87 th year of his age; that he has a record of his said father's death made at the time or about the time of his death; that he has made all the statements from recollection and has no papers or documents relating in any way to the case except as above, the record of his said father's death.
He still further states that his said father Thomas Parmenter has several children now living by a previous marriage and that Mary Parmenter his widow has surviving children by a previous marriage; that if the heirs of Thomas Parmenter are entitled to receive the arrearage due him at his death he is directly interested in the claim. But if Mary Parmenter the applicant is entitled to receive it he has no interest in it whatever

That on the passage of the act of Congress of June 7, 1832 his said father applied for a pension under that act for Revolutionary services; That Robert Temple his father's Attorney afterward informed him that proof of his services would be required; That by request of his said father he (Thomas Parmenter Junior) went to the State of Massachusetts for evidence of service and procured the affidavits of Michael Balcomb and Abel Parmenter to prove his father's services in said war of the Revolution. Said Michael Balcomb and Abel Parmenter were disinterested persons and he believes persons of truth; That the next morning after procuring their testimony he went to the County Clerk and got his certificate to the papers & started for Vermont, That his said father then sent said papers & evidence to R Temple of Rutland, This was about the month of June A.D. 1833; That in the fall after this his said father received some pension: That he does not know that his said father kept his Pension Certificate in his own possession; That he never saw it; That the presumption is that it was in the possession of R. Temple at his (said Temple's) death; That after said Temple's death he went for  with his said father to Rutland to try to obtain his semiannual payment but could not obtain it and no one was willing to assist in the business and the matter rested for the time: That his said father was feeble some years before his death - he was sick - his reason failed, - which was the cause on his part of his pension remaining unclaimed so long.
He further states that about the year 1835 his said father married Mrs. Mary Brown who survived his said father and now lives a Widow in the adjoining town of Rochester.
He states that his said father received no pension from the time it ceased - which was about the time of the death of said Temple.
He states that his said father Thomas Parmenter died at Pittsfield on the twenty third day of October A.D. eighteen hundred and forty two Aged eighty six years, and in his eighty seventh year.

He states that he now has the record of his said fathers death which he made at the time of his death, or near the time; That he makes all these statements from recollection having no papers or documents relating in any way to the case, except as above, the record of his said fathers death; He makes this affidavit for the benefit of Mrs. Mary Parmenter his said fathers widow, and states that he has no interest in her claim to pension under the act of Feb =ruary 3 rd 1853 from & after that date
