Additional Declaration of David Dean -
I stated in my declaration that I did fill two years duty as a teamster, but was then advised that the Hon ble Commissioner of Pensions was of opinion that services of that nature did not entitle me to a pension. I forbore, at the time, making out my declaration to state my services as a teamster - which I now state - after I was drafted into Capt Strong's Company of Artillery - & was discharged, I served as I have stated. Eight months in 3 d Capt Strong's Company of Artillery (Vir), I was drafted at White Plains in the State of New York on 1 st or 2 nd of June 1778 & was discharged from 3 d Artillery Company in the month of Jan y the last day of the month 1779.
I further stated in my said declaration that I did fill two years duty as a teamster. I now make my specification. (Vir)
Immediately after my discharge from Capt Strong's Company of

in Genl Knox brigade of Artillery in on, or as near, I can now remember on 1 st of Feby 1779 I Enlisted for Nine Months as a teamster under Genl Tomkins Waggon Master General at, Pluckemin, or Road Brook in the State of New Jersey, during the summer 1779. I was attached to the Army of Genl Washington marching with the Army. Carrying Stores, Clothing Am- munition or doing any service required, there was not much done during the summer by the Army. & in the Autumn I was ordered to Tulpehocken; I think Lancaster  Pa County Pennsylvania where we wintered
In December 1779 I think the 18 th of the Month I again Enlisted as a teamster for six Months under Robert Patrick, conductor of teams. I wintered as Apr il - in Lancaster  Pa County Penn ya and in the Spring we rejoined the Army & joined it in New Jersey - under Genl Washington, in the middle of May following my time expired. At the last of the Month, the Army had not become active , & the Campaign had not opened to much importance - and on the Expiration of my time of service (viz) on last of May 1780 I returned home - as I was far distant from the place of my birth, & a stranger, to all a- mongst whom I then was, I knew no one except

(Robert Patrick who was a resident in Lebanon after the an Orshunably birth) & he has been dead upwards of thirty years, I know of no living person by whom I can prove my services as a teamster; My Associates at the time I Enlisted were inhabitants of New Jersey or Pennsylvania & I have not been in those States since the Revolutionary War, (I am poor & old) I have no proof direct of my services as a teamster, & therefore must rest my claim upon testimony not perorative, to my services as a teamster; people here know of my absence & Reputed Service, but were not with me during all the time I was in the service of the United States as a Teamster, the United States furnished me with a team which I drove & attended to; I never owned an ox or team, of any description

BA-J/ILL Gen David Dean W. 1246
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Mary Dean, a pensioner of Chaplin prior to 1860.
The record of David Dean whose widow, Mary, of Chaplin, Connecticut, received a pension, is given below as shown in pension claim, W. 1246, based upon the Revolutionary War service of David Dean.
David Dean was born April 4, 1759, in Norwich, Connecticut; his father died in Montreal when David was only four months old. The names of his parents are not shown.
While a resident of Norwich, Connecticut, he enlisted June 20, 1776, served as private in Captain James Clark's company, Colonel Comfort Sage's Connecticut regiment, was in the battle of White Plains, and was discharged on Christmas day, 1776. He enlisted in June, 1777, and served about three months as private in Captain Daniel Tilden's company, Colonel Chapman's Connecticut regiment at New London. Sometime in April 1778, he enlisted and drove a team to White Plains, upon reaching there gave up this team, enlisted and served eight months in Captain Strong's company, General Knapp's regiment of Artillery. Afterwards, he served as teamster, nine months in 1779 under General Tompkins, and six months under Robert Patrick, conductor; he returned home in May 1780.
After the war, he resided in Lebanon and in Bosrah, both in New London County, Connecticut, most of the time.
He was allowed pension on his application executed August 3,

1832, at which time he resided in Columbia, Tolland County, Connecticut; he had resided there about two years. In the fall of 1835, David Dean moved with his wife from Chaplin, Windham County, Connecticut, to Batavia, Genesee County, New York. He stated as his reason for moving that his children of his wife "mostly reside in this state(New York), "and a part of his own" children. In March 1836, he was living there with one of his wife's children, name not designated. At that time one John Dean stated in Genesee County, New York, that he had known David Dean, the soldier, for sixteen years. It was stated that Mary Dean, soldier's wife, then had five children living in Western New York. It was not stated whether said John Dean was the son of David or of Mary, and no names of other children are shown. In 1837, the soldier and his wife returned to Windham, or Chaplin, Windham County, Connecticut.
David Dean, the soldier, died July 31, 1846.
The soldier married on January 1, 1818, Mary; she stated that her name before said marriage was Mary Dean, and that they were married in Ashford, Connecticut. There is no further information regarding a former marriage of either David Dean, the soldier, or of Mary, his wife.
Soldier's widow, Mary Dean, was allowed pension on her application executed March 5, 1853, at which time she resided in Chaplin, Windham County, Connecticut. She was then seventy-nine years of age, the date and place of her birth and names of her parents not shown.
In 1853, Joseph Taylor and Emily Taylor stated in Chaplin, Connecticut, that they were both present at the wedding of David Dean and Mary Dean in 1818, and that they were present at the death of David Dean, the soldier. No relationship between them and the soldier's family was shown.

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
Applicant is required by the Regulations to produce the best proof in his power. An affidavit in support of his claim should be produced from Capt Tilden
To the Hon. J. L. Edwards Esq Commissioner of Pensions
Sir. I recd from Col Tilden (by Mr. Deane's hands) his deposition, which was incorrectly taken but was forwarded to the Department in the month of Sept. 1832. with other papers. it will be found I presume in the files of the department. Col. T. is 90 years old. His recollection was clear that [unclear] Respectfully Yours &c Dean was with him, but as to [unclear] time uncertain
