Sir.
I herewith transmit the application of Mrs Persis Bruce, widow of Charles Bruce, formerly of Berlin Connecticut for a pension under the act of July 1838.
Mr Lemuel Smith a Pensioner resident in said Berlin, was expected to testify in the case, and as he died very suddenly, before his deposition was taken, I have sent the Deposition of Elishama Brandegee of said Berlin, a Merchant of the first respectability, and also, my own deposition; stating what the said Lemuel Smith assured us at different times That he was ready & willing to testify in the case; and he sent the same word to the Widow. Permit me to request, that you would examine the Declaration of Mr Smith, & also his Depositions sent with the application of Delia Bronson, widow of Elisha Bronson, & of Anna Belden, widow of Leonard Belden, of said Berlin; both which were granted on the strength of said Lemuel Smith's Deposition, under the act of July 1838. Mrs Bronson's certificate was received from yr department in favor of Mrs Belden in May 1839.

Sir,
I take the liberty of enclosing Mr Charlton's reply to my letter of the 22 nd ulto. in the case of Mrs Persis Brace of Conn; in whose case I filed his affidavit of what Mr Lemuel Smith's statement of Brace services were, himself a pensioner, all we can ask is that Mr Lemuel Smith's paper may be examined in connexion with his statement of Brace services. V iz if corroborate, Mr Charlton's affidavit, it is believed it should be considered conclusive in her case, as no other evidence now is to be obtained. Smith was said to be the last survivor of that service, I hope I may not be considered pertinacious, for again calling the attention of the office to this claim, after it shall have been considered, be so good as to return Mr Charlton's letter to me & Oblige
Very Respectfully
Your most obt Servt,

May I ask that a further search may be made and if found that the Claim may be examined and the objections, if any, to its allowance may be stated.

I Jesse Charlton, a resident of South Windsor, (formerly a part of East Windsor) in Hartford County, and State of Connecticut, of lawful age, do hereby depose and say; that Mr Lemuel Smith, of the Parish of New Britain, in the town of Berlin, in Hartford County, and State of Connecticut, a Revolutionary Soldier of the United States, and a Pensioner therefor; informed me, in the fall of the year 1838; That in four tours of service, in the Militia of Connecticut, in the Revolutionary War, there served with him, Charles Brace, then of said town of Berlin, but who several years ago removed to the State of New York. That he served with him, first, in a tour to New York, from July to November; for a period of four months: that at that time, Capt Gerd Stanley, of said Berlin, was Capt of the Militia Company, to which he, and said Charles Brace belonged; but that the Capt, had joined Colll Gay's Regiment, & was serving in that; and that their company was marched down to camp, by the Lt of the Company, viz, by Lieut John Langton, and served under him, for a period of four months. That their company was again called out, in April 1777, when the enemy burned Danbury in Connecticut, that they marched under the same officer, viz, John Langton to Danbury, and served for a period of two weeks, that the said Charles Brace went down and served with him for that period of time. And again, that in September that he the said Charles Brace, marched with him in the same company to Fishkill, to assist in preventing Clinton from joining Burgoyne; that they served under General Putnam for a period of two months in the fall of 1777: But I do not remember distinctly whether he said that the said Langton was still a Lieut, or whether he was promoted, previous to this, to the command of the Company and in the same communication, he stated, that the said Charles Brace, served with him in the same Company in July 1779, when the enemy invaded New Haven.
Jesse Charlton

that the said John Langton was their Captain of the Company that they served for a period of five weeks in watching the motions of the enemy along the sound, between New Haven and New York, That these different services amounted to between seven and eight months; and that he would testify to each of them: And that the said Charles Brace, married Persis Brandegee, of Berlin, at a period sufficiently early to entitle her to a pension, and that she was still living in Litchfield County & State of New York, He requested me to write to her, stating these facts, which I did; and Mrs Brace sent me her Declaration which I forwarded to the Pension Department; but before I had received it, the said Lemuel Smith died very suddenly; so that, I had no opportunity to have his deposition taken, after I received the Declaration of the said Mrs Persis Brace; but was expecting to go down to his residence at said New Britain, in said Berlin, when I heard of his death: he lived about twenty miles, from my residence.
The said Lemuel Smith had testified to the services of Hezekiah Andrus, and Leonard Belden, & Elijah Brownson, or Brunson, all of said Berlin, sometime before his death; in some, or all of these several campaigns, and on that proof, their widows were severally pensioned. viz, Rhoda Andrus; and Anna Belden; and Delia Brunson.
That he told me he was ready to give his deposition in respect to the same amount of service that I have specified above; as having been performed by the said Charles Brace, and from this cause, alone, and at his request, I wrote to the said Widow Persis Brace, and received her Declaration; but before I received it, the said Lemuel Smith suddenly died, and the diligent search has been made in vain to find any surviving witness.

Danl P. Tyler Secretary of State

I Jesse Charlton of East Windsor in the County of Hartford & State of Connecticut do hereby depose and say, That I was well acquainted with the late Lemuel Smith of the Parish of New Britain in the Town of Berlin, in Hartford County Connecticut, and that the said Lemuel Smith told me during the year 1839 That Charles Brace, formerly of Berlin, in Hartford County Connecticut, (the husband of the present Widow Patsy Brace of Winfield in the State of New York) was out with him in the service in the Revo- lutionary War; and that, the said Widow, Patsy Brace was entitled to a pension; and that his knowledge of the different periods of Mr Braces service, were sufficient to support her claim, to between seven and eight months: and he stated to me that he was with him, first at New York, under Captain Lt John Langton & Maj Simeon Strong in the Militia from about the middle of August 1776, to about the middle of December of the same year; and that in the Spring of 1777, Mr Brace the aforesaid Charles Brace, went under Lt Langton to Danbury, when the enemy came to it & burned the public Stores that at that time they served two weeks and that in the Summer of the same year on the call of General Putnam he went out & that the said Charles Brace went & served with him at various places, on the North River, from Peekskill to Fishkill &c for the term of two months. And that in the month of July 1779, That when the enemy invaded New Haven, he went down & that the said Charles Brace went with him, and that after the enemy had been driven to their shipping they kept moving up & down the Sound threatening va- rious places, & that the Militia were kept in service as an addition to the coast guard, for a period of five weeks, that the said Brace served with him in each of these tours. I took down in Writing what Mr Smith stated, in respect to the said Charles Braces services with him in these four

towns Mr Smith stated to me that he was out himself in some other towns, where the said Charles Bruce was not with him, Mr Lemuel Smith offered to testify to each of the towns I have stated, and I expected to have taken his Deposition as soon as Mrs Bruce had sent her Declaration to me. But Mr Lemuel Smith died very suddenly before I had taken his deposition I believe in January last. Mr Smith had testified to the services of Elizah Brinsmead, in the application of Delia Brinsmead of Berlin in Conn. And also to the services of Leonard Belden in the application of Anna Belden to the services of Bezaleel Andrews in the case of Abigail Andrews which were a part, or all of them, the same towns of Serene. As Mr Smith is the last man who was knowing to the services of the said Charles Bruce, I have taken this method to set forth the circumstances which the said Lemuel Smith assured me he was ready to give his Deposition in support of whenever it should be called for
