I would respectfully inform you that Papers in support of the above claim were forwarded to you on the 14 th & 25 th of November last. I now enclose a certificate which I have just received from the Comptroller of Comrs. from which it appears that a bounty of £30. was paid to the town of Farmfield for furnishing a soldier (Josiah Patchin) for the regular service & that his service commenced on the 9 th of July 1781. There are no records for 1782, & 1783 in the Comptrollers office but I suppose that you have the rolls for those years. You will please observe that 9 mos service in 1779 is proved by the affidavit of Walter Whitney.

Walter Whitney of the said City of Albany, aged eighty three years, being duly sworn deponeth & saith, that he was a Soldier of the United States during the war of the revolution, & served upon numerous occasions with the Connecticut Troops & under different enlistments & that he is now a Pensioner. That during said war this Deponent resided in the town of Fairfield in said State of Connecticut from whence he entered said service. That during the said war this Deponent was well & intimately acquainted with Josiah Patchin who also lived in Fairfield aforesaid. That said Patchin & this Deponent were long & playmates together . Said Patchin was a small man, rather below the ordinary size, but active & intelligent. And Deponent further saith that said Josiah Patchin was also a Soldier of the United States during said war. That early in the spring of the year 1779, this Deponent enlisted in company with said Josiah Patchin into the Connecticut troops, took, at Fairfield aforesaid, for a period of nine months . & that they served together for & during their said period of enlistment guarding the fort at Blackrock under the command of Lieutenant Jarvis & (as Deponent believes) Capt. Stephen Thorpe. That during said period, the Detachment stationed at Blackrock as aforesaid, repulsed the enemy who were sent to surprise & capture said fort by night & although few in number, retained possession of said fort, until their discharge, late in the fall of said year. That Deponent may possibly be mistaken in the precise year in which said service was performed He remembers however distinctly that they were discharged as aforesaid.

at the commencement of what was called the "hard winter" in Connecticut, when Long Island Sound was frozen over. & Deponent very believes it was the year 1779. And Deponent further saith that during said war he was also acquainted with Eunice Parret who was afterwards the wife of said Josiah Patchin. That this Deponent was present at the marriage of the said Josiah Patchin to Eunice Parret & witnessed the marriage ceremony which was duly performed by the Rev Mr Johnson in the adjoining town of Weston. That said marriage occurred in the fall of the year 1783. the same year that peace was proclaimed. That Deponent remembers the precise date of said marriage from the following circumstance. He was not then married himself, but was engaged to be married to Anna Wells. who was also present at said marriage & to whom he was married in the spring following. That he has preserved a record of his own marriage, & by reference to said record it appears that he this Deponent was married to said Anna Wells on the twenty first day of April Seventeen hundred & Eighty four. So that Deponent is positive that said Josiah & Eunice were married in the fall of the year 1783. And Deponent further saith that he is unable from present recollection to give any further positive testimony of the other revolutionary services of said Josiah Patchin, this Deponent having afterwards been taken sick & the said Patchin enlisted into the army.

Sir.
I would respectfully inform you that I have written to Westport Conn. twice, enclosing money, endeavoring to obtain a church record of the marriage of the above applicant, but have received no reply. The applicant is poor & so infirm as to be unable to leave her house. She has preserved two family records which are respectfully submitted, & which with the affidavit of Walter Whitney, an intelligent man who witnessed the marriage, it is hoped will be deemed sufficient.
Said Witness, Walter Whitney testifies that he served with Joseph Patchin 9 months in 1779 & that afterwards said Patchin enlisted into the army. The rolls of the Connecticut Line (which I suppose you have) will determine the amount of service, & which rolls the applicant respectfully requests that you would be pleased to refer.
