ON this twelfth day of February  4/2 1833 personally appeared in open Court before William P. Walker Judge of the Probate now sitting, Zachary Gaudu a resident of Sheffield in the county of Berkshire and Commonwealth aforesaid, aged sixty 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 7th, 1832:—That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated. He was enlisted at Canaan Conn. to serve six months. And according to the best recollection and belief he served out the said period of enlistment as follows, he was mustered at Danbury & from there he went to Newson Point where the company to which he was attached was com- manded by Capt. Baldwin — The Supt's name was, Hall the orderly sergeant, Nathaniel Layton — This company was attached to Col. Swift's Regiment for some time & then to Col. Holdridge, who succeeded to the command — This Regiment belonged to General Huntington's Brigade — from there we marched to Puskill and drew our arms — at this place we crossed the river to Kings Ferry and passed into New Jersey to Orange town or tea-neck so called — at Dob's Ferry he was stationed as one of the guards while a Fort or Block house was building — here he remained for one week and then joined the company at Orange town. From this place we marched to Potomac — then to winter quarters in the Highlands crossing the river again at Kings Ferry — My enlistment took place in July 1780 1780 & I was discharged in January 1781. — I cannot state precisely what day I enlisted nor the day of my discharge but have no doubt on my mind but I served out six months. I had a written discharge but have lost it —
The deponent further says that he was after wards drafted for two months in the Connecticut militia — we were mustered at New Haven under the command of Capt. Conklin Supt. Andrews — and belonged to the Regiment commanded by Col. Arnold — Our Regiment was stationed at New Haven — During this period Cornwallis was taken &

and are rejoined. This draft took place in the fall of the year 1782 according to my recollection, but by reason of old age, and consequent loss of memory, he cannot state the month, but is confident he served not less than two months - This deponent does not now know of any living witness by whom he can prove the facts above stated, nor has he any documentary evidence of the facts.
1 th The deponent was born Dec 4 1762 - at Middletown Conn. 2 nd He has no record of his age, nor does he know of any - 3 rd He lived at Garmen Conn. when the service was performed - 4 th I have stated my enlistment and discharge - 5 th Col. Swift - Genl. Huntington - Col. Hotchkiss of the regular service - and Col. Amad in the New Milford militia - recollected - 6 th My discharge was given to me at the Highlands - New York - & is lost - 7 th I am known to Robert F. Barnard & Obed A.

Mr. Roger M. Candee 38 Capitol Street Auburn, New York
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Theophilus and Zaccheus Candee, both of Connecticut in the War of the Revolution.
The Revolutionary War records of this office have been searched and no claim for pension found based upon the service of Theophilus Candee under any spelling of the name.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in pension claim, S. 29062, based upon the military service of Zaccheus Gande in the War of the Revolution.
Zaccheus Gande (as his signature is shown in the claim) was born December 4, 1762 in Middletown, Connecticut. The names of his parents were not given.
While a resident of Canaan, Connecticut, Zaccheus Gande enlisted sometime in July, 1780, and served six months as private in Captain Baldwin's company, Colonels Swift's and Holdridge's Connecticut regiment. He enlisted and served two months in Captain Conklin's company, Colonel Arnold's regiment, during this tour Cornwallis was taken.
He was allowed pension on his application exe-

outed August 15, 1832, at which time he was a resident of Sheffield, Berkshire County, Massachusetts.
The soldier, Zaccheus Gande, died August 11, 1838. A.B-
The papers on file in this claim contain no reference to his family.
Very truly yours

In Conn. Men in the Revolution page 402
A Theosetus Canday is given, this man was in James Wadsworth

regrs the same as Theophilus Cande, it is thought by a librarian in Syracuse that these might be the same.
Have you a record of either or both of these. If you have one of Theophilus Cande does it tell the time of his death as well as his service.
Also have you a record of Jackson Cande who served in 3rd Company 7th Conn Regiment in 1780.
Thanking you for what information you can give I am
Yours sincerely
