Patience Page a resident of Hager in the County of Warren of sound age eighty two years on the 22 nd day of November A.D. 1837 who being first duly sworn according to Law, do hereby oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the act of Congress passed July 4 th 1836. Section third, That she is the widow of Jonathan Page who was a Soldier in the Service of the United States during the Revolutionary war, that prior to her marriage with the said Jonathan Page her name was Patience Chase, that she resided in her father's family in Newfield in the State of Connecticut that she was married to the said Jonathan Page on the 6 th day of November 1772 at Newfield aforesaid by the Rev. Mr. Sill the Presbyterian minister of that place and that she and the said Jonathan Page continued to reside at Newfield aforesaid after their said marriage until the spring of the year 1773. when they moved to Pownal in the State of Vermont, and that in the year 1775 her husband the said Jonathan Page volunteered as a Soldier about the first of May 1775 and marched from Pownal to Ticonderoga in the State of New York under the command of Colo Ethan Allen, was there at the taking of Ticonderoga when that Garrison surrendered to Colo Ethan Allen, that he continued to serve from the time he marched from Pownal aforesaid three months. She well remembers that during the three months service her husband was absent from home during wheat harvest about the first of August. She further declares that soon after her husband the said Jonathan Page returned home, she thinks in the fore part of the month of September 1775 the said Jonathan Page enlisted into the Service of the United States under one Captain Duryee of Bennington and she thinks

in Col. Williams Regiment, the least term of time that he enlisted for she does not now remember but that it was either two or three years, that soon after his said enlistment he marched from Buryington to the North, and served as a Soldier in the Northern Department, and served as an Ordinary Soldier, he was at the taking of St Johns, Chambley, and was with General Montgomery at the time he entered Montreal. That the said Jonathan Page did not go to Quebec with General Montgomery, but went she thinks no farther than the Three Rivers below Montreal, and that he did not return from Canada until the American Army left Canada in the summer of 1776. he was at Ticonderoga when that Garrison was evacuated by the American Troops, and was with the part of the American Troops that went by water to Skeneborough from Ticonderoga and that they were fired on from the British River Gallies during the whole of the retreat to Skeneborough. That a Sinecure was recorded and left at Skeneborough. That soon after the American Troops left the country at Skeneborough they were attacked and were engaged in a skirmish with the enemy consisting of British and Indians, and that her husband the said Jonathan Page was in the skirmish. The American Troops marched as far as Fort Edward, and the said Jonathan Page remained in the Army and did not return home until a few days before the battle of Buryington when he came to his home in Pownal in consequence of being unwell and she further says that the said Jonathan Page had not been at his home over a week before the battle of Buryington took place. he then took his gun went to Buryington and was in the battle, and he was at the battle of Stillwater and at the surrender of General Burgoyne, and continued to serve in the American Army until the full term of his enlistment, and received an honorable discharge, and then returned to his home in Pownal. She thinks he was discharged at Albany in the winter after the surrender of Gen. Burgoyne that he brought home his discharge and documents were at the

time he left the Army, and left them until his leg house was burned on the 9 th day of March 1780. She further declares that he the said Jonathan Page was several times out in the Service of the United States in the Military of Vermont on alarms in Capt. Nathan Smith's Company and also in Capt. Abraham Lindahl's Company the length of the several times of Service She does not now recollect living in Vermont when new York assaults and ravages to the border of liberty the alarms were very frequent, and that, after the said Jonathan Page left the regular Army as far as she knows he was out as she thinks on every base of an alarm in the neighborhood where she resided and also in the adjoining towns, and that in consequence of her advanced age and loss of memory she can not state the exact length of all his Services as a Soldier, but that according to her best recollection and belief she thinks the said Jonathan Page must have served in the whole at least three years and six months - that her husband the said Jonathan Page died at Pittsfield in the State of New York on the 8 th day of September 1798. That after the death of the said Jonathan Page she continued to live at Pittsfield a number of years from thence she moved to Greenfield where she lived several years from thence she moved to Hague where she now resides and has resided for upwards of fifteen years past, and that she has removed a widow ever since the death of her said husband the said Jonathan Page - That after her marriage with the said Jonathan Page there were born unto them seven children, their first was a Daughter whose name was Rachel Page was born July 2 nd 1773.
