State of New-Hampshire, } ss. County of Sullivan
On this Nineteenth day of September 1832, personally appeared in open Court, before the Judges of the Court of Probate , now sitting, Peter Bugbee a resident of Plainfield in the County of Sullivan and State of N. H. aged 70 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
In the month of May 1780 being then a resident of Enfield in the state of Connecticut he enlisted in Captain David Parsons Company of Col Hemenway's Connecticut Regt. for 6 months, and proceeded from said Enfield to Danbury in said state of Connecticut and there drew soldier's rations. From thence moved to Nelsons Point where said company was stationed for about 2 months - then crossed the River at Kings Ferry and marched into the state of New Jersey where said Regiment was mostly engaged as a patrolling guard till September or October - then returned to Nelsons Point and after having been there a short time, this declarant with others was detached as he understood by orders of Genl. Washington to go down the River as a guard to a large number of teams to be sent after a quantity of grain in the fields on New York Flats - that the party (of which he was one) went accordingly and succeeded in the enterprise & that he afterwards returned to his company at Nelsons Point and was there discharged at the end of six months ending in November 1780 - Has no documentary evidence of the performance of the above named service but expects to be able to prove the same by an individual by the name of Pease who was a private in the same company. That previous to the above named six months service and in the fall of the year 1778 as he now thinks he turned out and went from said Enfield as one of the guard in conducting a party of prisoners who he believes were a part of Burgoyne's army, to a place called the Stone Partee on the North River and was engaged at that time in actual service under the command of Captain Hezekiah Parsons, one month at the expiration of which he was discharged - In reply to the several interrogatories put to him he states that he was born in Enfield state of Connecticut June 11th 1762 - that he has no other than a family record of his age - that he was living at said Enfield when called into service in the manner above stated - has since lived in Groton N.H. and in Plainfield N.H. where he now lives - states he frequently saw Genl. Washington during his six months service and that he witnessed the execution of Andre - He further states that he is well acquainted with John Bryant Esquire a Capt. Phelps Spalding who can testify as to his character for truth and veracity - Further states that he never had a written discharge - He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the Agency of any State,
Sworn to and subscribed, the day and year aforesaid
We, John Bryant residing in said Plainfield and Philip Spalding residing in the same Plainfield hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with Peter Bugbee , who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be 70 years of age; that he is reputed and believed, in the neighborhood where he resides, to have been a soldier of the Revolution, and that we concur in that opinion.
Sworn and subscribed the day and year aforesaid
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 applicant was a Revolutionary Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court certifies, that it appears to them that John Bryant who has signed the preceding certificate, is as far as he knows the President in the Concord and that Philip Spalding , who has also signed the same is a resident in the same Plainfield and are credible persons, and that their statement is entitled to credit.

I Peter Hughes of Plainfield in the State of New Hampshire a soldier of the Revolution, depose and say that on the 19 th day of September 1832, before the Hon. Probate Court for the county of Sullivan I made a declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of the 7 th June 1832 wherein I stated that I did actual service for the space of seven months in all. And I am still confident of the correctness of that statement so far as regards the length of time that I was engaged. I now well recollect that in the Spring of year 1780, three men were called for from the town of Enfield my then place of residence, that I voluntarily turned out as one of them in the early part of May of that year. I left home before our planting was done and proceeded by way of Danbury to Nelsons Point N.Y. where we were engaged doing drill duty &c. for the space of two months: we then crossed the River and went into the Jerseys, and there some time in July first saw Capt Parsons and as I now think there enlisted into his company, wherein I afterwards continued to serve till some time in November or December when I was discharged.

Sir
The declaration of Peter Hughes of Plainfield W. H. has been examined and placed on our files. It appears from the records of service that he enlisted on the 10 th day of July 1780 and was discharged on the 2 nd December 1780. As the law under which he claims provides for those only who served at least six months, his claim cannot be allowed.
