Introduction in Mary Pease Widow of None pease

I Simeon Pease a resident of Enfield in the County of Hartford and State of Connecticut do hereby depose and say, That I am a Soldier of the Revolution and receive a pension for my services in the American Army in that War. That in the Spring of the year 1776, I resided in Enfield, in Connecticut where I was born, and in the Spring of the year 1776, Captain Jeremiah Parsons of this town, who had commanded a Company at Roxbury the year before, viz in the year 1775, was authorized to enlist a company of men, I believe for Eight Months, and he informed a number of the young men of Enfield, & Somers, as I understood, and myself among the number that if we would enlist, then, we need not march until some time in June, I enlisted for one; and in the Month of June 1776, Captain Parsons Company, marched from Enfield, thro the towns of Hartford & Middletown — to New Haven where we took shipping & went to New York, & on to Governors Island where we served as guards of the place, till driven out to White Plains where we staid & entrenched ourselves, & from there to Crompond, our company was attached to Col d Sages Regiment.
There served with me, in this Company, through the campaign, Stone Pease, of this town, a man with whom I was well acquainted tho no near relation of mine, I knew him from a boy, he and I were both native inhabitants of Enfield, I was acquainted with him down to the period of his death which took

place, in this town, as much as fifteen or sixteen years ago; and I well know, that the present widow, Mary Rose, is the identical person, who lived with him, many years, and brought up a family of children with him.
The length of the period of our service in said company I have always considered from the time of our inlisting until we reached home, the forepart of January 1777 we were dismissed the 25 th of December at a place called Crompond; but I believe we were allowed and paid for a number of days after Christmas, viz, for as much time after as it would take us to get home; and I fully believe, that as we inlisted several weeks before we marched that we were allowed and paid for as much more than as eight months & I would refer to my own declaration for more particulars and for the exact amount of time.

Mrs Pease found that the persons who served with her husband in the Second alliedged Tower were dead, so that she could present you no more proof.
Mrs Pease will receive with gratitude the pension you propose to grant her, if it is all you can justly allow.
We shall soon find it impossible to find contemporary evidence of Revolutionary Services In the Town of Windsor in Hartford County there has died since last Aug. the following revolutionary pensioners David Gibbs Samuel Keather Elisha Drake Ebenezer Fitch Bissell Increase Keather so that we hope the commisioner will make due allowance for the extreme difficulty of procuring such evidence.
