On this ninth day of June A D 1840, personally appeared before me this day Widow, Sally Noble a resident of Suffield in the County of Hartford and State of Connecticut, aged Twenty Six years, who being first, 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 July 7 th 1838 entitled "An Act, granting half pay and pensions to certain Widows" — That she is the Widow of Timothy Noble late of Southwick Hampshire County & State of Massachusetts, deceased, who according to the best of her recollection was drafted to go into the United States Service as a private, where he performed, as she believes, at two different periods at least, Six months, first on a tour of about three months to Boston in said State & next went with the army to Niagara & that region & from statements that she has often heard him make while conversing with others who were with him in said service, she distinctly recollects of having often heard him say, that he was in the Army at the battle at Niagara & at the occupation of the Fort, &c. &c. That at the time the said Timothy Noble entered the service he resided in said town of Southwick & has since resided there until his death, which occurred on the 3 rd day of March 1877 — That the said Timothy Noble & Sally Noble were married at Sheffield Massachusetts on the 28 th day of May A D 1883, that she was not married to said Timothy Noble prior to his leaving

said service, but the marriage took place previous to the first of January 1794 and at the time of said.
The claimant has no documentary evidence in her possession, in support of her claim, though she has often heard her husband relate over the incidents that occurred while in the army with his fellow soldiers, who are now, nearly all deceased, and although I have often heard him relate the names of the officers who he served under, & many other details, but from my infirmities by age, I cannot now distinctly recollect them, names & other necessary circumstances. — She further states that she remains unmarried & the widow of the said James Noble deceased.

I Shubael Stiles of Southwick, Hampshire County & State of Massachusetts, aged 77 years, having resided in this place from my youth up, being well acquainted with W m Timothy Noble having been near neighbours of his & well acquainted with him and his family during a long residence, do depose and say, that in the Spring of the year 1777 the said Timothy Noble was drafted to go into the United States Service as a private & that he soon after marched with other troops on his first tour of duty for Ticonderoga in the State of New York & was there when the Fort was evacuated, though I do not now distinctly recollect how long he was gone, but my impression is very strong, that it was three months — At another time during the year 1778 or 1779 the said Timothy Noble was again drafted to go on another tour of duty to Boston in said State, which he performed & was gone three months & also I well recollect, that the draft was for that time — I do not now distinctly recollect the Captain's name who commanded in the first tour of duty to Ticonderoga , but my impression is, that it was Captain John Kellogg of Westfield in said State & County — and on the second tour of duty to Boston , the Captain's name I do not recollect, but the Lieutenant's name was Solomon Brown of Plainfield in said State — The said Timothy Noble died in this town, thirteen years since last March & his widow has for some years past resided in Suffield Connecticut , (the adjoining town to this) among her friends & being well acquainted with her, can state, she has remained

ever since her husband's death & still is his widow & unmarried — I would further state that the said Sally Noble has ever sustained a good charac- ter, and her statement, is entitled to credit —
I also distinctly recollect, that my brother Josiah Stiles, deceased, late of Medina County & State of Ohio, whose deposition I have seen & read, was with the said Timothy Noble on his tour of duty to Boston (said Josiah Stiles died in March last, just at the time he & the said Timothy performed the duty they both resided in said Southwick —

I Wells Taylor of, Suffield Hartford County & State of, Connecticut, aged 65 years, do depose and say, that I have ever been well acquainted with Timothy Noble late of, Southwick, Hampden County and State of Massachusetts, deceased, & though young at the time, do distinctly recollect of being present, when the said Noble was married to Sally Noble, which ceremonies was performed in the town of, Sheffield State of, Massachusetts, & do also know, that they lived together as husband & wife from that time, in the said town of Southwick until his death, which occurred in the year One thousand eight hundred and twenty seven, and that the said Sally Noble has since that time remained the widow of the said Timothy Noble - and having been very intimate in the family have often heard the said Timothy Noble relate occurrences that transpired while in the service, but particularly as to the events that occurred while with the army at Pico-oroza and other places, during the service he performed, though I have no distinct recollection of the time he performed duty in the United States service, though I believe he did, or, the officers under whom he served, but, from the known good character which he always sustained through life, I do not hesitate in stating, that not only his own statements but also the statements of his widow, are entitled to the fullest credibility.
