I, Joshua Martin of Weathersfield in the county of Windsor and state of Vermont, aged sixty five years, being duly sworn, depose and say, that from my earliest recollection, I have been acquainted with Amos Page and Elizabeth Page, the wife of the said Amos. The said Amos and Elizabeth formerly resided in Lunenburgh in the county of Worcester and state of Massachusetts, where I was born and resided until I was twenty years of age; at which time I removed to Baltimore in said county of Windsor and have resided ever since in said Baltimore in said Weathersfield. After I had resided in said county of Windsor as last aforesaid, about eighteen years, the said Amos and Elizabeth removed to said town of Baltimore, in the neighbourhood where I resided. I continued to be acquainted with the said Amos and Elizabeth, to the death of the said Amos, which was about twenty years ago as nigh as I can recollect; and after the death of the said Amos, I was well acquainted with the said Elizabeth for several years, after the death of the said Amos , until she went to Sudbury, Vermont, as I then understood, to live with her daughter. During the whole of my acquaintance with the said Amos and Elizabeth, they lived together in the relation of husband and wife, and I never heard their marriage questioned by any one.
The said Amos Page was generally reputed to have been a soldier of the Revolution, and to have enlisted for three years, and to have served to the end of the War. After the death of the said Amos, the said Elizabeth remained a widow during my last acquaintance with her, which was, as nigh as I can recollect, about six years, and I have always understood that the said Elizabeth remained the widow of the said Amos to the day of her death, which, as I was informed, was two years ago last fall.

time of my acquaintance with them he constantly lived together in the relation of husband and wife, and I always considered them as sustaining that relation, and never heard their marriage questioned. The said Amos Page died at said Baltimore according to my best recollection, nearly twenty years ago; I attended his funeral, and since his death I have been acquainted with the said Elizabeth, who remained the widow of the said Amos during my acquaintance with her, which was, as near as I can recollect, five or six years; after which I understood she went to Sudbury, Vermont, to reside with her Daughter, where I understood by common report, that she resided, and continued to remain the widow of the said Amos, until the day of her death, which was, as I understood, in the fall of the year one thousand eight hundred and thirty six.

Cornwallish October 5 th 1839
To J. P. Kennedy Esq. Commissioner of Pensions.
Sir,
I received some time since a Pension Certificate bearing date July 10 th 1839, entitling the children of Elizabeth Page, late of Vermont, deceased, widow of Amos Page, deceased, who was a private in the Revolution, to receive Forty Dollars per annum from 4 th March 1831 to the time of her death, which took place Nov 10, 1836. This Certificate was issued upon the Declaration of Benj. Page, one of the children of the said Elizabeth, deceased, and for proof of the services of the said Amos Page, deceased, the said Benjamin, in his Declaration, referred as I understand to the Records and Files remaining in the War Department. Upon the Receipt of the aforementioned Certificate, he was surprised to find that it entitled him and the other children to receive only forty dollars per annum; and I now write, at his request, to solicit you to cause the evidence of the Revolutionary services of the said Amos, in the War Department to be re-examined, in order to ascertain if it does not in fact prove a longer service than that for which the Certificate seems to have been issued. Mr Page thinks he can clearly and satisfactorily prove a three years service; and here I beg you will allow me to argue whether it will be competent for him to make any other or different showing, or to prove any longer service than that which appears from the Records and Files in your Department. He seems positive that his Father served three years, and is anxious to have the privilege of proving it, if the evidence at Washington be insufficient to establish that fact.
I am, Sir, Respectfully &c. most Ott. Servant, Salmon F. Dutton

Sir.
Windsor, Vermont. November 1 st 1839.
In relation to the application of the heirs of Elizabeth Page for the arrears of Pension due to the said Elizabeth at the time of her death, Benjamin Page, one of the children of the said Elizabeth, has now exhibited to me your letter to Salmon H. Dutton Esq. on that subject, dated October 12 th 1839.
From the said Benjamin Page's statements, in connection with your letter to said Dutton, it would seem that Amos Page referred to in your said letter, is not the identical Amos Page who was the Father of the applicants, and husband of the said Elizabeth.
The said Benjamin Page who is now, as he says, sixty six years of age, says that his Father, Amos Page, recd. enlisted in Lunenburgh, Ms. in 1781, for three years, and served to the end of the term, and returned home in the winter or spring, after the close of the war of the Revolution. He says furthermore, that his Father, the said Amos Page, belonged to a company commanded by Capt. Hurlburt, until the said Capt. Hurlburt was advanced to the rank of Colonel; that the said Amos Page, in his declaration for a Pension under the act of March 18, 1818, claimed a pension for no other services, nor does he believe that he performed any other revolutionary services except a few days at Lexington, Ms. in the spring of 1775.
The said Benjamin Page further says, that his said Father's Pension certificate was dated, as he believes, about the 6 th of April May, 1819, and numbered, 10798; that he had a Discharge from the Army, which was sent to the War Department with his said declaration for a pension under the act aforesaid, and he verily believes that his said Father, the said Amos, served in the Army of the Revolution, more than two years before the close of the war.
Under these circumstances, the Children have decided to wait, and not make any use of the Certificate received until the error, if there be any, shall be corrected. You will please direct your reply to this communication to Salmon H. Dutton, Esq. of

Groton, in the County of Windsor, Vermont, who will communicate with the said Benjamin Page.
I have the honour to be, Dear Sir, very respectfully, your obedient and very humble servant, Thomas F. HAMILTON.
