Washington passed White Plains, with his army, that he cannot remember whether there were any other troops at White Plains, except Gen. Nixon's Brigade, but thinks there were not; that about two months after he first joined his company, he went with a part of his company to cut forage, near Kingsbridge where he remained a few days and was taken sick and returned to White Plains, and from there was sent to the Hospital at Fishkill, where he remained, sick, until some time in the month of October 1778 (the day he cannot remember) when having recovered his health he rejoined his company, which was then stationed at Woodbury in the State of Connecticut; that according to the best of his recollection that no other troops were stationed at Woodbury except Col. Wood's regiment, but is not positive

on this point; that during the time the regiment was stationed at Woodbury it was reviewed by Gen. Nixon that after cold weather commenced the regiment marched to Pekskeill in the State of New York, and went into winter quarters; that he remained with his com- pany, at Pekskeill, performing the usual camp duties of a private until about the 1st of March 1779, (the exact day he cannot remember) when the period for which he had enlisted expired, having served the full term of his enlistment being eight months; that he does not rec- ollect that there were any other troops at Pekskeill ex- cept the regiment to which he belonged; that he was born on the 8 th of March 1762 at Cumberland in the State of Rhode Island; that he has a record of his age contained in a family bible in his possession; that he resided at Brimfield, State of Massachusetts when he enlisted into the service, that after he received his discharge he returned to Brim- field, from thence he removed to Newbridge, in the same State; from there to Wenmouth in the State of Vermont; from Wenmouth he removed to Huntington in the same State; from there to Chateaugay in the State of New York, from Chateaugay he returned to Wenmouth from Wenmouth he moved to Berkshire in the same State from there to Middlebury in the State of New York and from Middlebury he moved to Wadsworth in the County of Mecklen, State of Ohio, where he now resides; that he went into the service as a volunteer; that he cannot remember the names of the officers who were with the troops where he served, except those he has mentioned above; that he never received a written discharge from the service; that he is known to the following persons in his present neighbourhood, who can testify to his character for truth and veracity & their belief as his services as a soldier of the Revolution, viz.

(5) Pension Office, Aug. 22. 1851.
Sir:
The declaration of Hannah Campbell, widow of Joshua, who was a pensioner, has been received. She alleges that she was married on the fifth of Dec. 1793. This date is within a few days of the time that would deprive her of the benefit of the act under which she claims, and therefore requires the clearest proof. Before we can receive evidence of a secondary character, we must be satisfied that none of a higher grade exists. You should therefore apply to the clerk of the town in which the marriage occurred for record evidence of that fact.
Very Respectfully, Yr. obt. Servt. H. S. Evans for Commissioner.
