OBITUARY.
Died on the 18th of March 1844. Capt. SAMUEL PATCHIN, a patriot of the Revolutionary war, in the 86th year of his age in the town of Hague, Warren county, in the State of New York, on the farm where he had resided for forty years, situa- ted on the west bank of Lake George. Known as the Sabbaday point farm, in consequence of a great battle fought there on the Sabbath, between the French and English in the old French war. The deceased was born in the town of Wilton, Conn. Some years previous to the Revolutionary war, he moved with his father, brothers and others, to the town of Milton, Saratoga county, N. Y., and made a settlement, it then being a wilderness.— After a few years, when they had cleared their lands and were beginning to reap the benefit of their toil and privations, the war broke out. As this was a frontier, it was not long before they were obliged to send off their wives and children, but before they could fairly leave of their own accord they were driven off by the Tories and Indians, their houses, and barns were burned, their hogs killed and hacked to pieces, and their cattle driven off. Exasperated at this mode of warfare by the enemy, the deceased entered the army in the defence of his country, belonged to a company of Rangers, and generally headed the scouting parties that were sent out to reconnoitre the situation of the enemy. In one of these scouts in the year 1780 or 1781, in the vicinity of Fort Stanwix, he was captured with six others, taken to Canada, and lodged in the prison at Montreal. After remaining in close confinement for a long time they became sickly and suffered every thing but death, for want of fresh air and proper food. By much entreaty they were permitted to go a- bout on the island in the day time, under the watch of the sentries, but were confined in prison at night.
The deceased being out of prison one day, a British officer hearing his name mentioned, asked him if he was the d—d rebel Patchin that had an- noyed their troops so much. He replied that his name was Patchin, but no d—d rebel; at which the officer drew his sword to run him through, but was felled to the ground by a blow from the deceased. The guard rushed in to the rescue of the officer, but he mowed his way through and escaped to the house of a friend who secreted him until the fury of the guard was abated.
When they found that the British would not exchange them, they began to form a plan of ma- king their escape. They contrived one day, for sport, as they pretended, to roll several logs to- gether, which had been providentially thrown on the bank of the river, intending to make a raft by tying them together with strips of bark that they had peeled for that purpose. The next thing was to get out of prison. To effect this they moved a part of the prison wall so that they could creep out. This took them some time to accom- plish. During this time, they saved what provi- sion they could spare from their scanty meals, to support them in the wilderness if they should be so fortunate as to escape from the prison. When all things were arranged, they commenced creep- ing out, one at a time, and some distance apart, so as not to make a noise, or be discovered by the sentries, near whom they had to pass. The deceas- ed was the last to leave the prison, and just as he was about to creep out the overseer came to the prison door, and inquired what noise it was that he heard in the prison. The answer was, that he had occasion to get up, and fell over the bench. This pacified the overseer and he shortly left the door. The other six had got to the logs and roll- ed them into the river, but as the deceased had not yet arrived, they thought they were discover- ed, and shoved off the raft without waiting to tie it, leaving their companion behind. The deceased however, soon arrived and plunged into the river and swam until he was helped on to the raft, which they held together by lying crossways on the logs. In this situation they were wafted down the river about five miles and landed by break of day, on the south-east side of the St. Lawrence. They soon discovered that in their hurry and anx- iety to escape, they had lost most of their pro- visions. Cold and wet as they were, they dare not build a fire to dry their clothes or warm their food, for fear of being discovered. In this discon- olate situation they commenced their long and dreary march. By the 5th day their provisions

at night. The deceased being out of prison one day, a British officer hearing his name mentioned, asked him if he was the d—d rebel Patchin that had annoyed their troops so much. He replied that his name was Patchin, but no d—d rebel; at which the officer drew his sword to run him through, but was felled to the ground by a blow from the deceased. The guard rushed in to the rescue of the officer, but he mowed his way through and escaped to the house of a friend who secreted him until the fury of the guard was abated.

When all things were arranged, they commenced creeping out, one at a time, and some distance apart, so as not to make a noise, or be discovered by the sentries, near whom they had to pass.

In this situation they were wafted down the river about five miles and landed by break of day, on the south-east side of the St. Lawrence. They soon discovered that in their hurry and anxiety to escape, they had lost most of their provisions. Cold and wet as they were, they dare not build a fire to dry their clothes or warm their food, for fear of being discovered. In this disconsolate situation they commenced their long and dreary march. By the 5th day their provisions were about gone. They became feeble but still pursued their journey, collecting roots and catching frogs for their sustenance, until the 7th day when five of the seven gave out, and could go no further. The deceased and his remaining comrade left these 5 in as comfortable a condition as was in their power, and shaking them affectionately by the hand and bidding them as they thought an eternal farewell, then proceeded on their journey, destitute both of bread and meat. To save themselves from starving they were compelled to eat frogs and even snakes with roots which they gathered. On the 11th day his fellow sufferer became so weak that he could go no further. This was a most trying scene for the deceased. He had become so weak himself that the least misstep would prostrate him to the ground, what to do he did not know. To stay was death to both, and it was finally concluded that the deceased should make one more effort, if perchance he might reach home and return and save the lives of his companions. After making his comrade as comfortable as possible, and bidding him, as he feared, a long and last farewell, he proceeded on, determined, under the Providence of God, to go through if possible. Sustained principally by anxiety and hope, which increased every step he took, he continued on until the 14th day and when he had all but reached his home, he was again retaken by the enemy, and compelled to return to his dungeon. His entreaties to be permitted to see his family were in vain. He then related to them the circumstances of his leaving his companions, and by strong persuasion prevailed on them to return with him the same way that he came, peradventure some or all might yet be alive. By this means the lives of his six companions were saved, who otherwise must have starved to death.
They all arrived after a painful and distressing march to Montreal and their prison, when they were put in irons and doubly guarded. They remained in prison till the peace and then were sent in a ship by the way of Quebec and Halifax to Boston where they arrived in December 1783, destitute of money, food and clothing, except their rags and blankets to cover their nakedness. During their voyage they suffered every thing which cruelty could inflict, till at last their debility was such from confinement and bad provisions that the camp fever set in, and but for a stratagem by which they got some loaf sugar and brandy unbeknown to the captain, they must have perished.
To such men as these we are indebted for the privileges we now enjoy. Com.

Astonishing and True—
AMONG THE THOUSAND MEDICINES advertised as 'certain cures for all pulmonary complaints,' JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT stands alone. Its path to public confidence has been paved not with PUFFS, but CURES; and the vouchers for its efficacy include an array of names which, for character and respectability, cannot be surpassed in this country. DR. JAYNE, being himself a physician, does not profess to perform physical impossibilities; but he does assert, and he is borne out by well authenticated facts, that in all DISEASES of the LUNGS AND CHEST which are susceptible of cure without miraculous interference, his EXPECTORANT will restore the patient to health. No other medicine will remove mucous or pus from the throat so thoroughly as this. It effectually loosens the coagulated masses from the membrane which lines the trachia, and at every cough the patient will bring up portions of the disengaged matter. In all complaints of the pulmonary organs, even where nature seems to be making no effort to throw off the disease, JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT imparts vigor to the machinery of respiration, and enables them to disincumber themselves of the obstructions which had impeded their free operation. It has restored hundreds to perfect health, after their physicians had given them up as incurable, with CONSUMPTION, Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Influenza, Bronchitis, Whooping Cough, in a word, all diseases of a pulmonary nature yield to this preparation, if properly administered.
Rev. J. S. Maginnis, Professor in the Hamilton (N. Y.) Literary and Theological Seminary, says: 'I would not be without Dr. Jayne's Medicines in my family for any consideration. I have found them successful in cases where all other means have failed.'
Mr. Nicholas Harris, corner of Front and Lombard streets, Philadelphia, was cured of COUGH, ASTHMA, and
BLEEDING OF THE LUNGS,
under which he had labored for many years.
Rev. Mr. Ira M. Allen, late of this, but now of New York city, says:—'I have used Jayne's Expectorant, and have more confidence in it than
ALL OTHER MEDICINES
of the kind.'
Rev. Wm. Laws, Modesttown, Va. says:—'I have used your Expectorant, and found it an excellent medicine for PULMONARY DISEASES.'
Dr. Helmick, of Zanesville, Ohio, was cured of ASTHMA by it, and now prescribes it to his patients in all Pulmonary affections.
Mr. John Beckford, Of Eastport, Maine, says: 'Your Expectorant has just cured a man whom his physician had given up to die with CONSUMPTION; and also another in the very lowest stages of BRONCHITIS.'
Messrs. Slosson & Williams, Booksellers, Oswego, N. Y. say:—'Your Expectorant gives UNIVERSAL SATISFACTION.'
Rev. John Ellis, of New York city, says that two bottles cured him of
INFLUENZA,
a hard COUGH, and apparent CONSUMPTION.'
Mr. Adrial Ely, of Watertown, N. Y. says:—'Many respectable persons offer certificates in favor of your Expectorant. I believe that all your medicines are the best preparations that have ever been offered to the public, for the relief of the afflicted and the
CURE OF DISEASES.'
Daniel Henshaw Esq., Editor of the Lynn (Mass.) Record, says:—'Jayne's Expectorant is a very valuable Syrup, which we have lately used with good effect, in stopping a Cough and loosening and breaking up a
COLD.'
Rev. Arthur B. Bradford, of Darlington, Pa., says that it cured his son of CROUP in a few minutes.
The Bangor (Me.) Journal says:—'A trial of Jayne's Expectorant will satisfy all that it is a speedy cure for Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Asthma, Hoarseness, and all kinds of Pulmonary Affections.'
Mr. Ebenezer Webster, of Providence, R. I., was cured of a severe ASTHMA by two bottles.
Rev. Simeon Seigfried was cured of Influenza, a Hoarseness, and a hard dry Cough, by one bottle.
Rev. R. Babcock, D. D. of Poughkeepsie, says
the lungs and throat, and a suffocating asthma, was cured by one bottle.
Declaration for Freedom N.Y. 7 Feb 1852

the lungs and throat, and a suffocating Asthma, was cured by one bottle.
Mr. J. J. Simpkins says that it cured his wife of CONSUMPTION, and one of his children of
WHOOPING COUGH.
Jonathan Going, D. D. President of Granville College, Ohio, says, 'he was laboring under a severe
COLD, COUGH AND HOARSENESS, and that his difficulty of breathing was so great that he felt himself in imminent danger of immediate suffocation, but was perfectly cured by using this Expectorant.' Mrs. Delks, of Salem, N. J. was cured of Asthma of twenty years' standing, by using two bottles of this medicine. Mrs. Ward, also of Salem, was cured of the same complaint by five bottles. Dr. Hamilton, of St. James, South Carolina, was greatly affected by a Cough, hoarseness and soreness of the lungs, and on using a bottle of this medicine found permanent relief'
'Lewis C. Lavin, Esq.' the distinguished advocate of Temperance, stated at a meeting of upwards of three thousand persons that he should not have been able to address them, but for the use of 'Jayne's Expectorant.' He said that he had been laboring under a hoarseness and severe oppression of the chest, that he had purchased some of the Expectorant a day before, which had relieved him in a few hours, and he found himself, contrary to his own expectations, able to address the multitude.
The proprietor could add hundreds of other names equally respectable, who recommend JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT AS SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHER MEDICINES for the cure of all the various diseases.

Seth Warner's Regiment and this Deponent recollects very distinctly of seeing said Patchin from time to time, during the whole of that season until as late as Decr. last as this Deponent believes, and knowing that he served in said Chapman's Company in said Regiment during the time above mentioned. This Deponent would not have remembered said Patchin & his service so distinctly if it were not for the circumstance that said Patchin was a remarkably active man in bodily exercise & from that circumstance this Deponent became acquainted with him and has now a recollection of his countenance. said Patchin now resides in Hague in the County of Warren in the State of New York. And this Deponent further saith the next year after said service he this Deponent heard that said Patchin was taken prisoner & carried to Lubeck & now has no doubt of the facts.

I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? yes II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? yes III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so? IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? yes V. * Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled? Applicant must state the date & length of each tour of service, and the officers under whom he served, with the best evidence that he can promise to sustain this declaration. VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? yes VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? yes VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? yes IX.

Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? no. 6. 7.
 EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____ For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
QUERE XIV.  Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
QUERE XVI.  Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

Sir
In the case of the children of Samuel Paton deceased, twelve in number, for whom I have recently received a pension certificate, I find on enquiry that the residences of four or five can not be ascertained. I therefore would enquire if the Department under the circumstances of this case, if so requested by Letter mailed at their respective places of residence, addressed to the Commission of Pensions or to the paying Agent, will either grant a certificate, in lieu of the one rec d , to be issued to an Administrator or give special instructions to the paying Agent, to pay to an Administrator on his being so requested by Letter directed to him as above mentioned. I think I can procure Letters from six or seven of them, under ordinary circumstances. I would not have made the request.
I am Yours very respectfully W m Valentine

Albany Pension Agency February 2 nd 1846.
James L. Edwards Esquire, Commissioner of Pensions, Sir,
The administrator of Samuel Patchin deceased, through his Attorney, applies for the amount of pension due to the children of the deceased, at the rate of $90.87 cts per Ann: after deducting previous payments at the rate of $30 per ann: under a pension certificate bearing date the 30 th of November 1845- As there is no authority contained in the certificate, to pay the administrator, we do not feel at liberty to do so, without your special instructions to that effect.
It is represented to me by Mr. Valentine, the agent who applied for the certificate, that of the twelve children named in it, five only reside in this State, and the remaining seven reside in four different States - It would seem therefore to be a case in which it would be proper to pay the administrator, but of that you are the most competent judge - The favor of your instructions on the subject is respectfully requested.
I am, Sir,
Very Respectfully
Your obed t Serv t
Thos. M. Elliott Pro t Pen Ag t

I Send you Samuel Patcher Certificate with proof of his being a Surgeon and entitled to have his pension enlarged I have no doubts that when testimony is procured for any Pensioner under a full Pension it will be increased I with confidence send his Pension certificate with the testimony believing his claim will be attended to without delay - and a new Certificate be granted Your Hum Servt

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for the records of Revolutionary War soldiers, Davis Flint and Samuel H. Patchin.

While a resident of Thompson, he enlisted about April 5, 1775, and served with the Connecticut troops at various times until February 20, 1783, amounting to at least one year and five months in all, as quartermaster, cornet and lieutenant under Captains Perley Howe and Elliott and Colonel Wadsworth and a part of this service was in the Second Troop of the Fourth Regiment of Light Horse.
Davis Flint was allowed pension on his application executed August 27, 1832, at which time he was living in Gorham, Ontario County, New York, having moved there about 1802 from Thompson, Connecticut.
He died June 11, 1836, at Gorham, New York.
Davis Flint first married (date not given) Esther Cooper and after the birth of one child, Aaron, said Esther died and Davis Flint married June 10, 1773, Lucy Holmes at the home of her father, Ebenezer Holmes, at Pomfret, Connecticut.

As the widow of Davis Flint, Lucy Flint was allowed pension on her application executed November 15, 1836, at which time she was eighty-two years of age and was living in Gorham, New York.

In 1836 one Parley H. Flint, resident of Gorham, New York, testified in behalf of the widow, Lucy, but his relationship to her was not shown.
In 1837 Parley Holmes, resident of Brimfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts, aged "sixty-eight years and upwards", stated that the widow, Lucy Flint, was his oldest sister.
In 1837 one Martha Hascall of Thompson, Connecticut, aged seventy years, stated that Davis Flint was her uncle and that his second wife, Lucy, was her cousin. Said Martha Hascall also stated in 1837 that her Aunt Molly Elliott, then dead, lived at the time of the wedding of Davis Flint and Lucy Holmes at her (Martha's) father's house and went to the wedding.
