COUNTY OF Coos
ss.
day of September 1893
On this personally appeared before me Stephen Emery Judge of the Home of Deputies for said County
Abigail Reed a resident of Stockfield in the County of Coos and State or District of Maine, aged seventy nine years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the Act of Congress, passed July 7th, 1833, entitled "An Act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows." That she is the widow of David Reed who was a soldier
of the Revolution and according to her best knowledge & belief served in the American Army, as a Private soldier, for several terms of service viz. first at Marshfield in Massachusetts for six months, in Capt. Dexter's company. Secondly at the Green Hill , near Plymouth for six months, under Capt. Wheeler . Thirdly at Rhode Island for six months in Capt. Gates company & lastly at Rhode Island in Capt. John Turner's company, for three months. She has no personal knowledge of these services, but derives her information from what her said husband & his brothers & others have often long since told her & from her personal knowledge that said David went from home to go into the army for several terms and returned after his terms expired. Her said husband was then noted to Stockfield & Reed was living in said Stockfield , a Passumpsic and she has never heard from them since that they served in the army for the same identical engagements together.
She further declares, that she was married to the said David Reed on the twelfth day of September in the year seventeen hundred and eighty one and that her husband, the aforesaid David Reed died on the sixteenth day of March 1853, that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the first of January, seventeen hundred and ninety-four, viz: at the time above stated.

Levi Stowell, Register.

I Jonathan Reed, of Westbrook, in the county of Oxford, State of Maine, aged eighty eight years, do hereby say that I was a soldier in the American Army, during the Revolutionary War, for four several periods; the first of which was in the Company, commanded by Capt. Joseph John of Haverne, Mass. when I was employed in guarding the shore in the neighborhood of Marshfield Mass. This service was for six months. The next term of service was for six months, at a place called the Gurnet, in Plymouth Bay, under Capt. William Weston. The next term was at Rhode Island, under Capt. Joseph Cole for six months. During part of this time, we were guarding prisoners at Providence. The next & last period of my service, was for three months, on the island of Rhode Island, under the command of Capt. John Turner, of Pembroke. During this term, we helped build a fort on Bells Hill, so called.
All these terms of service I completely served through and for which I now receive a pension from the United States, pursuant to the Pension Act of June 7, 1832.
I further say that my father David Reed, late of said Westbrook deceased, was a fellow soldier with me, throughout the whole of the

several periods of service as above stated. That he enlisted with me for the same service - performed the same duties & was discharged with me - all which I will know
My said brother David was a twin child with me & we always were intimately associated in all our concerns, during his life. He died before the law of 1832 passed & therefore never received a pension for his services, as I have received. His widow Abigail (Deard) is now living in Brookfield & I have known her, as my brother's wife, during their long residence together, but I did not see them married.

I Simon Reed of Buckfield in the County of Oxford and State of Maine, aged eighty five years, do hereby that I served as a soldier in the American Army, during the Revolutionary War, for several periods, for which I was receive a pension, my certificate being No. 11,850. I further say that David Reed late of said Buckfield deceased, who was my brother, was also in the same Army & served as a soldier for several terms. The first term of his service was in the year 1775, at Marshfield in Massachusetts, for six months, in the Company commanded by Capt. Soper. The next term was in 1776 at the Gurnett off Plymouth harbour, for six months in a Company commanded by Capt. Weston. I saw him there in the service but was not there myself as a soldier. The next term of his service was in the year, I think, in the year 1777, at Rhode Island, for six months, in a Company commanded by Capt. Joseph Cole. I know this service by my being there with him, a fellow soldier though not in the same company, being in Capt. Hovey Company myself. The next service of said David was in Rhode Island, in the year I think 1778, for three months, in a Company commanded by Capt. John Hovey. I was at Rhode Island in the service at this same time & know David to be there & that he served said three months, but I was not in Capt. Hovey Company & do not precisely remember under what Captain I was at this particular time.
In first term of said David service mentioned above, I do not know of being with him, but only by knowing that he went off to go into that service & that he returned as from

The same & from very often conversing with him about that campaign (and the incidents that took place) Also from conversations with our family & other persons about his being there.
He and his mother married Abigail Dames of Penobscot and moved to Brookfield in the year 1790. In company with me & I lived his near neighbor till he died several years ago and his widow has been my neighbor ever since having never married since my and his mother's decease.
