J. G. Edwards Esq,
May 12 1843
Sir I return your letter in the case of Mary Burr with the certificates of the Compt & Surates. The extract of the service of Mr. Burr as conductor of Military Stores I presume refers to the service of the father of the husband of Mary Burr as you will see that her husband in the Marriage certificate is called Ezekiah Burr Jr.
The following is an extract from a copy of a certificate of the Comptroller that accompanied the Pension application of Jeremiah Osborne of Fairfield Conn. under act of June 7 th 1832 which is further evidence of the service of Capt Daniel Lacy's Coast Guards than is contained in the certificate herewith enclosed - which I wish you to refer to
"That on the 30 th day of Jan y 1782 Ensign Daniel Lacy received an order on the Treasury for the amount of Pay Roll Guards at Fairfield £56. 13. 9

That on the 5 th of April 1782 the Governor & Council of Safety cause d the following Entry to be made on the Journal viz Vote that the Governor be desired on the motion of the Authority of Fairfield to give a commission to Capt Daniel Lacy & Ensign Grummond Morehouse appointed by the authority of the Governor the Guards they are by act of the Assembly in Jan y . last to raise for defence -
It is further stated that the pay for Guards in 1782 on coast of Fairfield was £1058. 6. 8 and that there is no Records showing the names of the persons who served in any of the aforesaid Guards nor the time of their respective services -
The same certificates I believe may be found with the Pension application of Nathan Odell of Con. & Samuel Wheeler of Con. both under the act of June 7 th 1832
Yours Respectfully Isaac Sherman

P.S. Also I believe further proof relative to the service of Capt E Morse may be found with the Pension application of Joseph Wakeman of Hartford Conn under act of June 7 th 1832 to which I wish you to refer. —

State of Connecticut, } ss. County of Fairfield
On this 23 rd day of July A D 1832 personally appeared, in open Court, before
the special County Court held at Fairfield within and for the County of Fairfield on the 23 rd day of July A D 1832 and
now sitting, Nerehiah Burr a resident of Fairfield in the County of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, aged seventy years, who being first sworn according to law, doth, on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named Officers, and served as herein stated.
That in the latter part of March or first of April 1779 he enlisted as a private for one year in the Company of Connecticut State Troops under the command of Captain Eliphalet Tharp. Said Company was raised at Fairfield (where Declarant enlisted) for the purpose of guarding the coast of said Town. A part of said Company was ordered to McHenry's Point in said Fairfield & a part to the Black Rock Battery. He was ordered to Black Rock Battery immediately after his enlistment & put under the command of Captain Isaac Jarvis who then had the command of the Battery; was at said Battery when the Town of Fairfield was burnt by the enemy in July 1779 at which time the battery was fired upon by a Row Galley & also by the enemy after they landed. He continued at said Battery until some time in September 1779 when he was ordered by Capt. Jarvis to Fairfield Town in a guard stationed there under a Sergeant where Declarant served till the spring of 1780 when his term of enlistment having expired, he left, having served one full year.
In the month of April 1780 he again enlisted at Fairfield as a private for one year in the company of Connecticut State Troops under the command of Captain Isaac Jarvis, in which Company Sayer Turney was 1 st Lieutenant & was ordered to Fairfield Town in the guard there under Ensign Chauncy Downs. Declarant continued to serve in said guard at Fairfield under Ensign Downs for one year & until some time in April 1781, cannot recollect the particular day of the month, when his term of enlistment expired & he left.
In the month of April 1782, Declarant at said Fairfield again enlisted as a private for eight months in the Company of Connecticut State Troops under the command of Captain Daniel Lacey. This Company was distributed at different stations along the seaboard of Fairfield. Declarant was ordered to Fairfield in the Town where a guard was kept under Ebenezer Squire Sergeant. Peter Jennings was a Corporal in the guard & Capt Lacey had the command of the different stations at which his Company were distributed. We kept a guard of seven men every night on the Fairfield Beach. Declarant served in said guard at Fairfield from the time he enlisted till some time in December 1782 a period of eight months when his term expired & he left. He
has no documentary evidence & never received any written discharge, it not being usual to give the militia or State Troops at that time written discharges. He was born at Fairfield on the 27 th day of August 1762 - Has a record of his age made by himself about twenty years ago according to what his father told him, which is in his family bible, & ready to be produced if well known to most of the inhabitants throughout the Town & particularly in the Parish of Fairfield where he has always lived. I knew Major Tallmadge who had a Party of United States Troops stationed in the Town of Fairfield. I also knew Colonel Jonathan Dunion & General Gould & Silliman of the

Connecticut Militia & who lived in Fairfield. He knows the Honorable Roger M Sherman & Samuel Rowland & David Judson Esquire, who live in his neighborhood. He is acquainted with Gov. Soulinson who resides at Greenfield Hill.

April 21 st 1843
Sir:
In the Case of Mary Burr, the proof as to the date of the Marriage is Satisfactory; but upon a re-examination of the papers of her late husband it is apparent that he was allowed a full pension without due consideration. Since the adjustment of his claim it is ascertained that there are rolls of the Connecticut Service at Hartford, and claimants have at all times been required to adduce the best attainable evidence. It is, therefore required that the Secretary of Connecticut should certify whether his records show any authority for raising the following Corps for the designated terms of service: twelve months from April 1779, under Captain Eliphalet Thorp, at Fairfield, and Black Rock; twelve months, in 1780, under Captain Isaac Davis at the same places, and eight months in 1782, at Fairfield, under Captain Daniel Lacy. The Comptroller should also certify whether his books confirm or discredit either of the above terms.
I am very respectfully,
Your ob t Servant.

Isaac Sherman Esq., Bridgeport, Connecticut

Office of Secretary of State Hartford Conn t April 25 th 1843.
I certify that from the Public Records in this office it appears that at a General Assembly held in January 1779 a Resolue was passed directing that a company to consist of seventy men including Officers be "raised by voluntary enlistment, to serve for the term of one year unless sooner discharged" and to be "posted" at Fairfield in said State, "for the defence of the sea coast."
At the session in January 1780 a Resolue passed directing that "twenty six men be raised & stationed at Fairfield, to consist of one Lieutenant, one Sergeant, & twenty four rank & file to serve as a 'Matross Company' — "to continue in service until the 1 st day of January next, unless sooner dismissed" — "Also that sixty seven men over & above said Matross Company be raised & stationed at Fairfield to consist of one Captain, one Lieut. one Ensign, four Sergeants & sixty rank & file" — and to continue in service until the 1 st of Jan y then next as above — both companies to be raised by voluntary enlistment, & the officers commissioned by the Governor.
At the January Session 1782, it was resolved that there be raised by voluntary enlistment, to serve for one year from & after the 1 st day of April then next unless sooner discharged, twenty eight men, including one subaltern officer, for the defence of the Port of Blackrock in Fairfield.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand & affixed the seal of the said state this first day of May, Eighteen hundred & forty three.
