That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the year 1775 with Captain Hudson Bullard and served in Col. James Frye's regiment of the New Hampshire line or troops under the following named officers: viz. Bullard Capt.
Major, Frye Col. That he entered said Company on April 1775 as a Lieutenant & served & did duty as such, until the last of January 1776 when he was honorably discharged at Winter Hill Cambridge, Massachusetts. That his commission will be annexed to this declaration.
That in August 1777 having recruited a Company, he received a commission which is also herewith annexed, as a Captain from the Government of New Hampshire in the Battalion commanded by Lt. Col. Joseph Foster. In this capacity I think he marched with the Battalion to which he was attached to Rhode Island & served under Brigadier Gen. Cornelius Sillaya Gen. Spencer & there served until the latter part of January 1778, when at least at Westerly Rhode Island or at Warwick in the same State by permission of his superior officers he finally honorably left the service. That in August and September of that year, he volunteered and with the late Governor Langdon of New Hampshire and others served as one of the horse guards in the immediate suit of General Sullivan and in this service continued at least two months in the State of Rhode Island according to his best recollection.

The Battalion commanded by Colonel Joseph Vose, in that capacity Brunk marched with the Battalion to which he was attached to Rhode Island Service under Brigadier Gen. Cornelius Sillaya Gen. Spencer there remained until the latter part of January 1778, when at least near Wickford Rhode Island or at Warwick in the same State by permission of his superior officers he finally  1778 honorably left the service. That in August and September of that year, he volunteered and with the late Governor Langdon of New Hampshire and others served as one of the horse guards in the immediate suit of General Sullivan and in this service continued at least two months in the State of Rhode Island according to his best recollection.
Answers: That he was born in Kensington, New Hampshire in 1742, when he supposed his age is recorded. That about the year 1765 he removed to Nottingham, New Hampshire, where his home was during his revolutionary services. That about the year 1781 he removed to Hallam Maine lived there two years - then back to New Hampshire and finally in 1801 removed to what is now Cornville, where he still lives. That the particulars, and the evidence of his services, arising from his commissions, he has before stated. That whether he was paid for five months or six and was paid for six months as a Captain, he is not positive, but thinks it was for six months - but supposed the rolls will determine.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any agency in any State.

DECLARATION
In order to obtain the benefit of the third Section of the Act of Congress, of the 4th July, 1836.
State of Maine.
Sagadahoc County, ss.
On this fourteenth day of October A. D., 1836, personally appeared in Open Court before the Hon d Nathan Weston, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of Maine Eliza Page a resident of Yarmouth in the County of Sagadahoc and State of Maine, aged eighty eight years, who, being first duly sworn according to law, doth on her oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the Act of Congress, passed July 4th, 1836; That she is the widow of Enoch Page late a Revolutionary pensioner of the United States under the Act of Congress of June 1832, that her said husband was a Lieutenant, and afterwards a Captain in the New Hampshire line or militia during the war of the Revolution, that he furnished the War Department with evidence of his service, on which he was pensioned, to which she refers, that her name before marriage with said Enoch Page was Eliza Gilley , that she was married to said Enoch Page, by the Rev Mr Trask a settled minister in the town of Brentwood in the State of New Hampshire.
She further declares, that she was married to the said Enoch Page on the twenty first day of October in the year seventeen hundred and Sixty five ; that her husband, the aforesaid Enoch Page died on the twenty second day of November A. D. 1832 : and that she has remained a widow ever since that period, as will more fully appear by reference to the proof hereto annexed.
Eliza Page
Sworn to and subscribed, on the day and year above written. Before me,
Nathan Weston Ch. Justice S. J. C.

State of Maine.
Eliza Page, the applicant within named, whose husband and connections have been known to me for more than forty years, is of the ancient and respectable family of the Cilleys of New Hampshire. Her oldest child, by the said Page within named, is in her seventieth year, and is the wife of Moses Capps. I am well satisfied that she was married to Enoch Page, late a revolutionary pensioner of the United States, on the twenty first day of November October 1765, that the said Enoch Page died on the twenty second day of November, 1832, and that she has since lived his widow. Her very advanced age, and great distance from her former residence, renders it difficult for her to get documentary proof from New Hampshire.
