State of New York Oswego County ss. On this 21st day of September 1832 personally appeared in open Court before the Undersigned Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the County of Oswego, now sitting, Alexander Babb, a resident of the Town of Mexico, in the County of Oswego & State of New York, aged 73 years who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath, make the following de- -claration, 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, VIZ:
In the month of Sept. 1775 at Roxbury Mass. I entered the Service as a Substitute for Andrew Cotton, in Capt. Paul Langdons Company, in Col. Dandelsons Regiment of the Mass. State troops, and remained in said Com- pany which was stationed at Roxbury until the 1st of Jany. 1776 when I was discharged - I immediately enlisted for one year in the Company of Capt. Levi Wells in Col. Paul Willis Regiment of the Connecticut line of Continental troops - Soon after my enlistment Capt. Wells was promoted to the office of Major and Lieut. Henry Champion who was first Lieut. under Wells, took the Command of said Com- pany - We remained at Roxbury until some time in the month of April, (during which time, I think in the month of March the British were forced to evacuate Boston) when we marched through the eastern part of Mass. and Rhode Island to

New London Conn. & from thence by water to New York. When we arrived the latter part of April on the 1st. of May - In the month of July or August I was ordered on board the Row Gally Lady Washington to go up the Hudson River to attack the British vessels Phoenix & Rose which then lay opposite Tarrytown to intercept the Communication between the East & South - We attacked the vessels & after a warm conflict suc- ceeded in driving them from their Station - While on Board the Gally I was taken Sick & sent to the Navy Hospital in New York where I remained until about the 12th of Sept. When I again joined my regiment and was on the main guard when the British took New York, - we then went over Kingsbridge to Fort Independence where we remained until we went to Winter quarters at Red- -kill in the month of Nov. - When I staid until the 1st. of Jany 1777 when I was discharged and went home to Ludlow where my Father resided - In the month of May 1777 at Ludlow I again entered the Service as a Substitute for David Fuller who was drafted for 2 months to go to Ticonderoga under the Command of Capt. Aaron Graves in Col. Woodbridge Regt. of Mass. troops - I im- -mediately joined my company at Springfield Mass. & marched from thence through Gt. Bar- -rington, Hinderhook, Albany, & Fort Edward to Fort -George where we took passage by water to Ticonder- -oga, where I remained until about the 5th. of July when my term having expired I returned to my returned home

to Ludlow where I remained until about the 1st. of Sept. when I again entered the Service as a Substitute for a Mr. Wright, (Christian name not recollected) who was drafted for 3 months. I immediately joined the Company of Captain Ephraim Chapin in Col. Leonards Regiment of Mass. Militia & marched from Springfield Mass. through Brattleboro Vt. to Manchester, where I vol- -unteered to go under the Command of Gen. Lincoln to take Whitehall, which place however was evacuated before we arrived. Here I was sent by Gen. Lincoln as a bearer of letters to Col. Brown at or near Ticonderoga, and after my return to White- -hall I was sent by Gen. Lincoln with a party of prisoners to Brookfield Mass. where I delivered them up to a militia guard, and returned & joined my company again under Capt. Chapin at Albany the latter part of Oct. - From thence we went down the River under the Command of Gen. Putnam to Whiteplains, and encamped about 3 miles below, where we remained until about the 1st. of Dec. when my term expired and I returned home again to Ludlow, Mass. —
On or about the 1st. of March 1778 I again entered the Service as a Substitute for my Brother Ezekiel Buel, who had enlisted for 3 years in the Company of Capt. Comstock (Christian name not recollected) in Col. John Graytons

High. of the Massachusetts line of Continental troops I joined the company at Albany where we remained until about the month of May and then went down the river to West Point, where we were ordered to join Gen. Washington's army at White Plains which we did in the month of June & remained at that place until about the 7th or 8th of Oct. when my Brother returned and took his place & I returned home to Ludlow
I remained at home until about the 11th of March 1779 when I went to Boston and enlisted into the naval service, for one cruise, under Capt. Samuel Lockhart who commanded the U.S. Ship Boston of 30 guns - The other officers of the ship were 1st. Lieut. Tipton, 2d Lieut. Welsh, 3d Lieut. Bates, Sailing Master Parsons, Boatswain Lewis - (Christian names not recollectd) We sailed from Boston about the 15th of April and cruised about the Atlantic ocean took 13 sail of vessels and returned to Boston again about the last of Sept. and was discharged about the 7th or 8th of Oct. after a service of about 8 months.
I know of no person now living by whom I can prove my services, except my Brother Ezekiel, whose affidavit is herewith annexed, but whose recollection, I think, is not correct in relation to the time of my entering in the naval service, which was, I am confident, in the year 1779 instead of 1776 as testified by him I think also he is mistaken in relation to Oliver who was Maj. instead of Capt. and I am sure Compton was Captain at the time I served in said Com- pany

I was born at New London, Connecticut, on the 29th of Oct. 1759. but have no official record of my age -
After the Revolutionary War I lived in Rutland and Brandon in Vermont until the year 1802 When I removed to Onondaga Co. N.Y. When I lived until the year 1808 When I removed to my present residence in Mexico When I have since lived - & When I am known by most of the people
I made application and obtained a Pension under the act. of March 18. 1818 but subsequently was dropped from said pension roll on account of property - And I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and declare that my name is not now on the pension roll of any agency in any State.

Dear Sir,
Enclosed I send you the affidavit of Erskine Bube, which I have just received, corroborating the declaration of his Mother Alex d . Bube in relation to his seven months service as a substitute for his Mother Erskine, in Col. Green's Regt. In your letter to me of Aug. 7 th you stated that on examination of the rolls it appeared that Erskine Bube served out his enlistment in person; and proof was required to substantiate the declaration of Alex d . Bube.
In my last letter to you, under the belief that Erskine Bube was dead, I informed you that no proof could be obtained. A letter was addressed to him in May last, and as no intelligence had been recd. from him at the date of my last, we readily concluded he was not living - but his affidavit just recd. puts the matter at rest, and I hope it will be Satisfactory evidence to you of the service of Alexander Bube as he states, and under all the circumstances of the case, I trust you will not hesitate to grant him a pension for the whole term he has served. He is a worthy old gentleman, a neighbor of mine, and is now in indigent circumstances, and I have no doubt of the truth of his declaration. He is very anxious to know his destiny and looks for a speedy decision of his case. I remain

State of New York } Oswego County } ss I, Avery H. Munn, one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for Said County, hereby certify that in the month of Sept. 1832 Mr. Alexander Beebe, a revolutionary Soldier, whose declara- tion is herewith annexed, employed me as his agent to obtain his Pension under the act of 7th June 1832 - That I then drew a declara- -tion for him similar in substance to the one now accompanying this, which was then sub- -scribed by him in open court, and which was for- -warded by me (I think in the month of Sept.) to the War Department - That at the time of ma- -king Said declaration, he exhibited to me a Pension certificate issued under the act of 1818 which entitled him, I think, to 8 Dolls. pr. month, but which had been discontinued by a subse- -quent act of Congress on account of his prop- -erty, which certificate was attached to the de- -claration and forwarded to the War Department - That in the month of April last I learned from the said time, in answer to several letters ad- -dressed to the Department in relation to his pension -that his papers could not be found on file at the office, and that if they had been received they had been lost or mislaid, and had not been ac- -ted on - That in conformity with instructions recd. from the pension office I have drawn a new declaration which is herewith transmitted.

Sir,
In compliance with your instructions I now enclose you the declaration of Alexander Bube, an affidavit for a Pension under the act of 1832. It will be recollected his papers were sent to the War Department in the fall of 1832 by me but which it appears never were used. There, or if used, have been mislaid or lost. You will please make returns to me as soon as convenient.

Dear Sir,
Your favour of the 21 st ult. in relation to the Claim of Alexander Burke, is read, by which it appears that his claim for service as a substitute for his Brother Ezekiel cannot be allowed. You also require other proof of his alleged services. In your letter to me of the 7 th of Aug. last you state that "no service beyond that in Col. Wyllys regiment can be allowed unless it be supported by the affidavits of 2 credible witnesses." By this I inferred that the year service in Col. Wyllys Regiment was satisfactorily proven. This service he alleges was performed in the Company of Capt. Henry Chapman, in the Connecticut line of Continental troops , and that due proof of such service was made in 1813 when the old gentleman drew a Pension under the act of that year.
The affidavit of Capt. Chapman of the year service I think will be found on file in your department. In relation to his other services he knows of no proof that he can obtain - he will therefore be content with a Pension for the year service in Col. Wyllys Regt. which I hope will be granted without further proof. I remain very Respectfully

Sir, Since the receipt of your favor of the 6 th . Ult. I have obtained the Certificate of the Secretary of State of Mass. in relation to the services of Alexander Beebe, which I now enclose to you. This Certificate shows 2 mo. & 10 days service as a private , and 3 mo. & 26 days service as a Corporal in the year 1777 - this, together with one years service in Col. Wyllis Regt. in 1776, already shown, makes 18 mo. & 6 days service, for which he now claims a Pension. As he is unable to make further proof, he relinquishes all other claims for services (except the 18 mo. & 6 days) and hopes you will forward his certificate for that sum without delay, as he is poor and much in want of his money.
I remain, Sir, very Respectfully

On this 3 d day of June 1834 personally appeared in open Court, before the Court of Common Pleas now sitting Alexander Beebe a resident of Mexico in the County of Oswego and State of New York, aged 74 years who being first duly 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: Viz. In the month of Sept. 1775 at Roxbury, Mass. I entered the service as a substitute for Andrew Colton, in Capt. Paul Langdon's Company of Col. Danderson's Regiment of the Massachusetts State Troops, and continued in said Company which was stationed at Roxbury, until the 1 st . of Jany. 1776 when I was discharged, and immediately enlisted as a Soldier for one year in the Company of Capt. Levi Wells, in Col. Samuel Willis Regiment of the Connecticut line of Continental Troops - Soon after my enlistment Capt. Wells was promoted to the office of Maj. and Lieut. Henry Chapman who was 1 st . Lieut. under Wells, took the command of said Company - We remained at Roxbury until some time in the month of April, during which time, in the month of March I think we drove the British out of Boston - We then moved through the Eastern part of Mass. and Rhode Island to New London, Ct. and from thence by

water to New York Then we arrived in the latter part of April or the 1 st of May - In the month of July or August I was ordered on board the Row Galley, Lady Washington, to go up the Hudson River to attack the British vessels Phoenix and Rose which then lay opposite Tarrytown to intercept the communication between the East and South - We attacked the vessels, and after a warm conflict, succeeded in driving them from their station - While on board the Galley I was taken sick and sent on shore to the navy hospital at New York Then I remained until about the 12 th of Sept. when I again joined my Regiment and was on the main guard when the British took New York on the 15 th of Sept. - We then went over Kingsbridge to Fort Independence where we remained until we went to Winter quarters at Peekskill in the month of November, and remained there until the first of Jan y . 1777 When my term having expired I was discharged and returned home to Ludlow Mass. where my Father then resided In the month of May 1777 at Ludlow I again entered the service as a substitute for David Fuller who was drafted for two months to go to Ticonderoga N.Y. under the command of Capt. Aaron Grafton of Col. Woodbridge Regiment of Mass. Troops or militia - I immediately joined my company at Springfield Mass. & marched from thence to Great Barrington, from thence to Kinderhook N.Y. & from thence through Albany to Fort Edward & Ft. George, then took passage by Water across the Lake to Ticonderoga

When we remained until the 1 st . of July, when my term having expired, I volunteered to stay and assist Genl. St. Clair to defend the place when I remained until the place was evacuated on the 5 th . or 6 th . of July when I returned home to Sudlow - I remained at Sudlow until about the 1 st . of Sept. when I again entered the service as a substitute for a Mr. Wright, whose given name I cannot recollect, who was drafted for 3 months under the command of Capt. Ephraim Chapin in Col. Leonards Regiment of Mass. Militia - I joined my company at Springfield and immediately marched for Burning Stor. When we tarried a few days & proceeded to Manchester where I volunteered to go to under the command of Gen. Lincoln to take Whitehall, then in the possession of the British but which was evacuated before we arrived - Then I was sent by Gen. Lincoln as a bearer of letters to Col. Brown at or near Ticonderoga and after my return to Whitehall I was sent by Gen. Lincoln with a party of prisoners to Brookfield Mass. where I delivered them up to a militia guard and returned and joined my company again under Capt. Chapin at Albany the latter part of Oct. - from thence we went down the river under the command of Gen. Putnam to White Plains, and encamped about 3 miles below where we remained until my term of service about the 1 st . of Dec. when I returned home again to Sudlow -

On or about the 1 st . of March 1778 I again entered the service as a substitute for my Brother Ezekiel Bute who had enlisted for 3 years in the company of Capt. Coniston in Col. John Gnatous Regiment of the Mass. line of Continental troops - I immediately joined the company at Albany where we remained until about the month of May and then went down the river to West point where we were ordered to join Gen. Washington's Army at White Plains, which we did in the month of June and remained at that place until about the 7 th . or 8 th . of Oct. Oct. when my brother came and took his place and I returned home to Ludlow - On the 1 st . of March 1779 I went to Boston and there enlisted for one cruise in the naval service under Capt. Saml. Tucker who commanded the United States Ship Boston of 30 guns - Tiffey was 1 st . Lieut. Welsh 2 d . Lieut. Bales 3 d . do. Sailing Master Parsons Boatswain Lewis - given names not recollected. We sailed from Boston about the 15 th . of April and cruised about the Atlantic ocean, took 13 sail of vessels and returned to Boston again about the last of Sept. and was discharged about the 7 th or 8 th . of Oct. 1779 -
I have no written discharges in my possession nor any documentary evidence of my services, nor do I know of any person living by whom I can prove them - Owing to old age and the consequent loss of memory I cannot recollect distinctly the dates of my several enlistments

but according to the best of my recollection I served faithfully during my several enlist- ments, including 7 months naval service at least 2 years & Eight months for which I now claim a Pension - I applied for and received a pension under the act of Congress of 1818 which was subsequently discontinued on account of my property - This pension certificate was forwarded to the War Department in the fall of 1832 together with a declaration of my ser- vices similar to this, by Avery Minner Esq who was employed by me as my agent to obtain my pension under the act of June 1832, but which certificate & declaration I am informed and believe to be true has never been recd. at the War Department.
I was born at New London Ct. on the 29th of Oct. 1759 as appears from a record in a family bible which I have in my possession and which is the only record I know of my age I lived in Rutland and Brandon, Vermont, since the Revolutionary War until the year 1802 when I removed to Watkinsville in Onondaga Co. N.Y. Then I lived 2 years & removed to Verona in said Co. Then I lived until 1808 when I removed to my present residence in the town of Mexico where I have ever since resided - I am acquainted with many citizens in the town in which I resided who can testify as to my character for truth and veracity, and their belief of my services as a soldier of the

Revolution among them is the Revd. William B. Stow and James Carpenter whose certificates are herunto annexed. I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a Pension or annuity except the present, and de- clare that my name is not on the Pension Roll of the agency of any State. Sworn to and subscribed the day & year aforesaid before  Alexander Babe D. H. Bailey (Dep. Clerk)
We William B. Stow a Clergyman residing in the Town of Mexico and James Carpenter residing in the same place hereby certify that we are well acquainted with Alexander Babe who has sub- scribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be 74 years of age; that he is respected and beloved, in the neighborhood where he resides, to have been a Soldier of the Revolution and that we concur in that opinion. Sworn & subscribed the William B. Stow day & year aforesaid James Carpenter D. H. Bailey (Dep. Clerk)
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War department, that the above named ap- plicant was a Revolutionary Soldier, and lived as he states. And the Court further cer- tifies that it appears to them that William B. Stow who has signed the preceding cer-

tificate is a Chippewa resident in the Town of Mexico, and that James Carpenter who has also signed the same is a resident in the same Town and is a credible person, and that their statement is entitled to credit.

Danielson's Regt - The deponent served in the same company, at Roxbury. The deponent further says that his said brother was in service in 1777 at the taking of Burgoyne, for three months as he understood - but as the deponent was in service elsewhere, he cannot say how long his brother served, or in what company. He further says, that in Feb. 1778, the said Alexander engaged as a substitute for this deponent, who was a soldier in Col. Grayson's Regt of Mass. line , in Capt.

Dear Sirs;-
Please give me what information you can in regard to the Revolutionary War service of Alexander ( E Alexander) Beebe, in Captain Samuel Williams' Company of Militia in Colonel Ebenezer Allen's Vermont Militia Regiment, for going on several alarms in October and November in 1780.
I wish particularly to know whether he drew a pension, and whether any mention is made of his family, and the date of his death.
He had a daughter Cynthia who married Benjamin Knight. Is any mention made of her ?
Yours very truly,
Florence S. Whelan.

Re: EZEKIEL BEEBE - Revolutionary War Soldier
Veterans Administration, Keeper of Revolutionary War Records, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sirs:
Will you kindly give me a copy of any and all records which you may have upon one EZEKIEL BEEBE , supposed to be born in 1753, who received a pension while living in Rutland County, Vermont, and is supposed to have died in 1841 in Seneca Falls, New York?
We are especially interested to obtain any names of parents , brothers or sisters, or any other relatives, which appear in his pension affidavit, especially we wish to find the name of DESIRE BEEBE , who was probably a sister or daughter of the above.
Is there more than one Ezekiel Beebe who received a pension for service in the Revolutionary War, and who was living in Vermont, and who may have been the father of Desire Beebe , above mentioned, who married Eli Whelan in November, 1794, in Vermont, and who are said to have moved, immediately after their marriage, to Oneida County, New York?
I fully realize that this is asking a great deal of you, but as we have exhausted other sources, I am thanking you in advance for any information which you may give us upon the above named parties.
Yours very truly ,
M. S. Gregory M. S. Gregory Captain M.D. World War.

The record of Alexander Beebe is furnished herewith from pension claim, W. 23572.
Very truly yours,
