On this 18th day of August 1820 personally appeared in open court, being account officer for the county aforesaid, Enoch Mire, aged about thirty (30) years, resident in said county, who being first duly sworn according to law, did on his oath declare that he served in the Revolutionary war as follows; that he the said Enoch Mire enlisted in the army at the commencement of the American Revolution, and served during the whole of the same, in the company commanded first by Elisha Dole, and afterwards by John Budd, in the Regiment commanded by Colonel Morgan, and in the Connecticut line; that on the 2nd day of June 1818 he made his first declaration, and since that time he has received a pension.

And I solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 16 th day of March 1818; and that I have not since that time by gift, sale or in any manner disposed of my property, or any part thereof with intent thereby to be diminished as to bring myself within the provisions of an Act of Congress entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary war" passed on the 18 th day of March 1818, and that I have not since that time any property in trust for me and any property or securities, contracts or debts and me, other than what is contain- ed in the following Schedule (A): One head worth about $20. A head of cattle worth about $20, 11 head of hogs worth now about $20, house hold and kitchen furniture including excepted, $16. The money that I have received under the provisions of the aforesaid act of Congress has been expended in the procurement of the necessary means for my support; that at this time I live

on a small farm, containing sixty acres to which he has no claim other than his wife's third, and that expires with her; that his occupation was formerly a miller, but for the last 16 or 18 years he has together with the aid of his present wife's children and the money he has earned, pension supported himself by cultivating the land; but that he is now unable to pursue his former occupa- tion, and to perform scarcely any kind of labour whatever; that he has two married daughters, by his first wife, who is now dead; he had a daughter who is living in some of the New England States, his present wife is named Eleanor aged about thirty six, she has a daughter living with her named Mary aged about 23 years, she has other children but none of them live with her, but they have occasionally assisted him in times need, but to afford him this aid is now becoming inconvenient; and being now old and infirm he can assist himself but little, and relies on his pension for his future support.
Yours truly E. N. Wix

The Deposition of John Dorsey

The Connecticut Roll has been examined thor- -oughly, and Enos Mix does not appear in any list - Amos Mix is found, and answers very near, to the service claimed by Enos Mix - possibly this man may have enlisted that name - if not the credibility of Da- -sey, must be est- -ablished to lay the claim before claimant can receive a pension -
