I Gideon Higgings of the town of East Haddam in the County of Middlesex and State of Connecticut, being of lawful age do Testify & say that I am the Son of Hawes Higgings late of the town of Haddam in said County and State deceased, and who was a United States Pensioner at the time of his death, and if I recollect, claimed to have performed four, seperate & distinct tours of Military duty in the Revolutionary war which seperated this Country from Great Britton, one of which was a tour in the State of New York - at the taking of Burgoyne. He claimed to have been in the Battle of Still Water, and that he belonged was a Sargeant & belonged to the Company under the command of Captain Edward Shipman of the town of Saybrook in this County; and some time in the last part of the year 1833, and in the fore part of the year 1834, I assisted My Father in gitting his Pension, by collecting the testimony, and I took a number of depositions, I think as many as eight or ten, to prove the different tours of service which my Father performed, and in regard to the tour in the State of New York, I expected to have gotten some information from the papers of the said Captain Shipman, He having died some years before, and I went to Saybrook and saw Col. Joseph Shipman and Samuel Shipman, two of the Sons of the said Captain Edward Shipman, and made enquiry of them and they told me that their Father had a Roll of the Company and kept it as long as he lived, and left it with his family at the time of his death, and that it was preserved until a short time before I called to see it, when one of the family - I think it was Samuel, concluded that it was of no value and could never be wanted and threw it into the fire & destroyed it; The said Joseph Shipman & Samuel Shipman, are now dead. One of the depositions so taken as aforesaid was the deposition of Mr Buel, I think his name was David Buel , of the town of Killingworth in this County; but I cannot be very certain to which of the tours of service he testified to. But refferance may be had to —

my Father's Pension papers in the Pension office at Washington. And further the deponent saith not. Dated at East Haddam in the State of Connecticut February 22 nd day A D 1855. Gideon Higgens.

I certify that on application for evidence of the service of Job Buell, in Capt Samuel Gale's Company and in Capt. Edward Shipman's Company in the war of the Revolution, I have examined the documents remaining in this office and find the name of Job Buell on a Pay Roll under the following heading viz, "A Pay Roll of the 8 th Co. 6 th Regt. rais d . by order General Assembly Count. May 1775." Said Regt. was commanded by Col. Saml. H. Parsons, and said 8 th Co. by Capt. Samuel Gale. Said Buell is credited on this Roll with service as a private from May 10 th to Dec. 19 th 1775. = 7 months 9 days.
I find on a Ledger in this office an account with Col. Charles Webb's Regt. rais d . in January 1776 for one year, from which it appears that Edward Shipman was a Captain in that Regiment but I do not find any Pay Roll which shows this service, in this office.
