Recorded in Book A Vol. 1 Page 64

At a Court of Probate holden at Simsbury, within and for the District of Simsbury, in Hartford County and State of Connecticut, November 1st, 1838.
Present, John B. Pettibone, Esq. Judge.
Amirilla Case, a resident of Canton in said District, aged 74 years, came into Court, who being duly sworn according to law, doth, on her oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress, passed July 7, 1838, entitled "an act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows" - - -
That she is the widow of Fithen Case, late of Canton aforesaid, deceased, who, as she has reason to believe, was a private soldier in the War of the Revolution & that she has proof by George Cornish that said Fithen Case performed a tour of military duty of three months in the year 1777.
That she has proof by Seth Hayes that said Fithen Case performed a tour of military duty of six weeks in the year 1777 or 1778.
That she has proof by David Saylor that said Fithen Case performed a tour of military duty of three months in the year 1779.
That she verily believes said Fithen Case performed a tour of military duty in the year 1776, for that after she was married to him, she has often heard said Fithen say he was in the army at the retreat out of New York; of his being in an intrenchment near New York or turtle or turtled bay, and the British were firing at them, and the balls came so fast & fell so near them in the intrenchment, they were ordered to leave the intrenchment & to make their escape as quick as possible; but she has no recollection of hearing said Fithen say how long he served in this tour of duty, nor does she recollect

under what officers he served, — but has some reason to believe the Captain was Zaccheus Case, who then belonged to Simsbury & lived in the west part of the town, now Canton. That she knows of no person living by whom she can prove this tour of duty.
The said Annilles further declares that she was born & brought up in the east part of said town of Simsbury, where she lived till she was married — That her marriage is recorded in the family great Bible, as are also the births of all her children & the deaths of those who have died and also the death of her said husband, Fithen Case. That she was married to the said Fithen Case the 20th day of September, 1780 — and that her husband, the said Fithen Case, died on the 25th day of August, eighteen hundred twenty nine. That she was not married prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the first day of January, seventeen hundred ninety four, viz. on the 20th day of September, seventeen hundred eighty, as above stated.

I, Seth Hayes of Granby in Hartford County and State of Connecticut, in the 86th year of my age, and being first duly sworn according to law—do depose and say, that in the year 1777 or 1778, I cannot say with absolute certainty which, I was a private in the troop or cavalry; Noah Phelps of Simsbury in said County & State was the Captain—and the whole company under the said Captain Phelps was ordered out in the War of the Revolution; we rode to a place called Croum Pond, which was if I recollect right, in the State of New York. We were stationed at Croum Pond, from which we were several times ordered away on scouting in the neighborhood; some times we went down near to York Island. This tour of duty was six weeks, or it might have been seven. I served out the whole of this term of six or seven weeks, and the company was discharged & we returned home. At this time Granby was a part of the town of Simsbury. In the same tour of military duty in the Cavalry, and in the same Company with me, under Capt. Noah Phelps, and for the same length of time, one Fitchen Case of that part of the ancient town of Simsbury aforesaid, which has since been incorporated as a town by the name of Canton, was also a private. — The said Fitchen Case died in said Canton, in the summer of 1829, leaving a widow, who still lives.
