State of Vermont, Addison County ss.
On this 25 th day of February A.D. 1830, personally appeared before the Court of Probate for the District of Addison in said State, being a Court of Record by virtue of the laws said State, in open Court, Timothy Cese, resident in said District, aged seventy years, who, being first duly sworn, according to law, doth on his oath, make the following Declaration in order to obtain the provision made by the Acts of Congress of the 18 th of March, 1818, and the 1 st of May 1820, - That he the said Timothy enlisted for the term of one year, some time in the latter part of the month of December 1775, in the State of Massachusetts, in the Company commanded by Captain William King, in the Regiment commanded by Colonel Eddy, in the Massachusetts Line, on the Continental establishment; that he continued to serve in the said Company, until sometime in the month of January 1777, when he was honorably discharged from service in Puckskill in the State of New York, - the history of which service is substantially as follows: - he marched from the place of his enlistment to Dorchester near Boston - from thence he was marched to New York, and after being in service there until sometime in the following August, was taken sick, and put into the hospital, from whence he was carried across the North River into the State of New Jersey, immediately previous to the entry of the British Army into New York, & remained sick in New Jersey until he was taken prisoner by the British at Hackensack in December following. He remained a prisoner for a few weeks, when he was released, & proceeded to join his Regiment at Puckskill, where he was discharged as aforesaid. - That he hereby relinquishes any claim whatever to a pension except the present - that his name is not on the pension roll of any State; and that the following are the reasons for his delay

hitherto in making this application for a pension, viz — On the 25 th day of November 1818, he made his declaration before a Judge of the Supreme Court of the State of Vermont, for the purpose of obtaining a pension, which declaration was transmitted to the Department after returned in June 1819 endorsed — "further evidence of service wanting." That he discontinued his efforts to obtain a pension upon that declaration in consequence of being in possession of more property than, by the construction of the pension law, adopted by the War Department he could hold, and be entitled to a pension; of which property he has since, by a series of misfortunes & embarrassments become dispossessed, as as hereafter stated, so that he is now reduced to a state of absolute poverty
And in pursuance of the act of P t of May 1820, I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18 th day of March 1818, and that I have not since that time, by gift sale or in any other manner, disposed of my property or any part thereof with intent thereby so to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an act of Congress, entitled "an act to provide for certain persons engaged in the Land and Naval services of the United States in the Revolutionary war," passed on the 18 th day of March 1818; and that I have not, nor has any person in trust for me, any property or securities, contracts or debts due to me, nor have I any income, other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed, and by me subscribed, viz —
  2 old horses  $50.    1 old waggon  20

That since the 18 th March 1818 the following changes have been made in my property namely -
In

In the year 1818 I owned about 145 acres of land in the Town of Middlebury in said County of Addison, which was worth not exceeding $1500 - also two horses worth about $30, and two cows worth about $30.
One hundred and twenty three acres of the land above mentioned was under an incumbrance of about $500. On the 30 th day of March 1822, I sold about 65 acres parcel of the said 125 acres, to Eben Hix for the consideration of $410 which he paid in part towards clearing said incumbrance, viz $125, and the remainder directly to myself, part of which I paid towards discharging said incumbrance, - a part I appropriated to the payment of a debt of about $50, to Asa Chapman for goods for my family, and a few other small debts, and with the remainder I purchased the wagon which I now own.
On the 4 th day of October 1827 I conveyed to Timothy Leese about 48 acres of said land, for the consideration of $488; - about $190. of which he paid to Philip Root, since deceased in discharge of the balance of said incumbrance; - a little over $100. to Seymour & Halley of said Middlebury in discharge of a bill of cost recovered against me on a suit long pending in Addison County Court, - the expenses of which have been the principal cause of my being reduced to my present poverty, - and about $50. to Nathan Leese in satisfaction of an Execution in his favour against me. To complete said payment, (besides some small sums not now distinctly remembered, the said Timothy let me have about

50 pounds of wood for my own use.
The remaining ten acres of said 123 acres of land I sold and conveyed, on the 22 nd day of the present month to Ara Chapman of Middlebury aforesaid, in payment of a demand of about $107 - about $57 of which was for goods had by me, from time to time, at said Chapman's store, and the remainder on account of a demand against me in favour of Rufus Perkins assigned to said Chapman.
On the 8 th day of January 1821 I conveyed to Simmons & Bell of said Middlebury, 22 acres, parcel of the aforesaid 145 acres, in payment for the professional services of the said Simmons & Bell & Daniel Chapman which had been rendered me in said lawsuit, and as a security for their future services in said suit; the whole of the value of which land was finally absorbed, and more than absorbed by their claim for services, at the termination of said suit.
The two horses above mentioned have been disposed of, and the avails are now in the property of the horses which are contained in the schedule herewith. One of the cows above mentioned died, and the value of the other is in the property of the cow I now own.
And I further declare that the waggons, sleighs & harness contained in the aforesaid schedule of property now owned by me, are under an attachment at the suit of Joseph Hough of said Middlebury, on a demand in his favour of about $50.

And I further declare that I am now indebted to sundry individuals, including the debts to Joseph Hough above mentioned, to the amount of more than $200.
And I further declare that I am by occupation a farmer: - that I am unable to perform much labour in consequence of the general infirmities of age, but more especially on account of a severe affection in one of my legs - at times exceedingly painful and troublesome - which has resulted from my sickness while in the Revolutionary service, which has always troubled me from that time to the present, but has increased as my age has advanced.
My family at present residing with me consists of my wife, aged about fifty three years, who is now sick, under the care of a physician, and unable to take care of herself, and has been in that situation for more than a year past - and four sons, aged sixteen, fourteen, eleven, & eight years, the youngest of seventeen children, fifteen of whom are now living.

BA-J/ILL XXXXXXXXXXXX Timothy Case S. 35202
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information relative to Timothy Case, a Revolutionary War pensioner.
The data furnished herein are obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 35202, based upon the service of Timothy Case in that war.
Timothy Case was living with his parents in Alfred, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, at the time of the Revolution; the names of his parents and the date of his birth are not given in the papers in the claim.
He enlisted the last of December, 1775 and served as private in Captain William King's Company, Colonel Ward's Massachusetts Regiment; he was taken sick sometime in August, 1776 and confined to a hospital in New York, from which he was removed to a hospital in New Jersey at the time the British occupied New York, was taken prisoner in December and held several weeks, after which he joined his regiment and was discharged sometime in January, 1777.
The soldier was so weak following this sickness that he could not stand alone and had trouble in his leg during the remainder of his life.
He was allowed pension on his application executed February 25, 1830, at which time he resided in Middlebury, Addison County, Vermont; he was then seventy years of age.
In 1830, the soldier's wife was fifty-three years of age, her name not given; he referred then to sons aged respectively sixteen years,

fourteen years, eleven years and eight years, and stated that the boy of eight years was the youngest of seventeen children, fifteen of whom were living. His son, Timothy Case, Junior, was "of lawful age" and resided in Middlebury, Vermont, at that time.
In March, 1840, the soldier was living with his son-in-law, Nathan Lamphere, in Painesville, Geauga County, Ohio, the name of his wife not given. In the fall of 1840, the soldier moved with his wife to Illinois, where three of his children were living, their names not given; he made affidavit in Cook County, Illinois, but did not state that was his residence.
Soldier's brother, Abraham Case, was a resident of Hebron, Washington County, New York, in 1830.
One Surval Case appeared in behalf of the soldier in June, 1841, in Cook County, Illinois, no relationship to the family stated.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Assistant to Administrator.

and that the said letter destroyed as this deponent verily believes together with the discharge of the said Timothy from the Army as the name of the father of this deponent was burnt shortly after his return as Abraham Case aforesaid

I Eleer Ager of Middlebury County of Addison & State of Vermont of lawful age testify and say, that in the month of March 1822, Timothy Lease of said Middlebury conveyed to me about sixty five acres of land as mentioned in his declaration this day made for the purpose of obtaining a pension, and that I paid the consideration of $410, contained in said deed, as follows, viz - $125. to Philip Root since deceased towards extinguishing an incumbrance in his favor on said land, - one horse & saddle at the price of $75. - one yoke of cattle, of the value of about $50. - 200 lb sugar, at 25. - and the remainder in a quantity of grain, amount not now recollected, and in the payment of a debt to Daniel Clifman, amount not now remembered, and one other debt, which is at this time I am unable to remember. I understood at the time I made the above payments that said yoke of cattle passed from Mr Lease to Asa Chapman in payment of a debt contracted for goods for said Lease's family; - that 100 lb of said sugar & a considerable portion of said grain was paid by said Lease to said Root, on account of said incumbrance; - and the horse above mentioned was exchanged by said Lease for a waggon, as I understood, which waggon is, as I believe the waggon which said Lease now owns.
And I further say that I have lived in the neighborhood of Mr. Lease for the last twelve years and have during the whole of that period been well acquainted with him & his circumstances as to property, - that he has during that time sustained a heavy loss of property in a lawsuit involving the title to a portion of the land of

which he was in possession in 1818, and that the several conveyances of his property since that period have, as I verily believe, been made for the purpose of discharging his bona fide debts & supporting his family, and the avails been honestly appropriated for those purposes, and that he is now reduced to absolute poverty.

I Timothy Clegg Esq. of Middlebury, County of Addison & State of Vermont of lawful age testify and say - That in the month of October 1827, I made a conveyance of about 48 acres of land from my father Timothy Clegg, for the consideration of $488 - which I paid him as follows - about $190, to Philip Root, in discharge of an incumbrance on the said land - a little over $100 to Symon F. Hailey in satisfaction of a judgment against said Timothy - about $50, to Nathan Wood in discharge of an Execution in his favour against said Timothy - about $130, to Daniel Chipman on account of his demand against said Timothy for services as an attorney, and the balance in the payment of one or two small demands against said Timothy, & the delivery to him of about 50 pounds of wool -
And I further say that I have been well acquainted with my father's affairs for the last 12 years, and know that the various sales which he has made of his property have been for the purpose of enabling him to pay his bona fide debts & support his family, and that the proceeds of said sales have been faithfully appropriated to those objects - and that he is now destitute of any estate except that mentioned in the schedule contained in his Declaration this day made for the purpose of obtaining a pension - and further say not.

I Timothy Cross Jr. of Middlebury, County of Addison & State of Vermont, the signer of the foregoing Disposition, do in addition to and in explanation of said Disposition, Dispose and say - That the 48 acres of land conveyed to me by my father in October 1827, as mentioned in my said Disposition was appraised to me at the sum of $7.14 per acre, amounting to the sum of about $342. - which sum was, in fact the only consideration for which said land was conveyed to me - that with the said piece of 48 acres, there was appraised to me a piece of land adjoining the said 48 acres, containing a little over 20 acres, at the same price, which last mentioned piece of land was held by Daniel Chipman as security for a debt due him by the said Timothy, and which debt I was to assume in part payment for the whole of said lands - that the said 488 Dollars mentioned in my said Disposition was the price of the whole of said two pieces of land at the said appraisal, and that the said $130 stated in my said Disposition to have been paid towards the said 48 acres of land, was, in fact, a payment on account of the said additional piece of a little over 20 acres - the said payment consisting in an assumption of about $164 to said Chipman for the payment to him of so much interest which had accrued on his account, as made the whole amount to about $130. as above stated - that I have a lease of said last mentioned land from said Chipman, on which is reserved as rent the interest on said sum which remains due him, and in which is contained a covenant on the part of said Chipman to convey to me on payment of said sum - and that my mistake in stating in

my former Deposition that the consideration for said conveyance of 40 acres was $488, arose from that sum having by mistake been inserted in the Deed instead of the sum of $342 which was the true consideration for said conveyance. The said lands were appraised by Martin Evans, and James Sumner. Timothy Bass Jr

I Samuel H. Holley of Shorham in the County of Addison State of Vermont do now and say that I was a partner as an attorney, Counsellor at Law, with Horatio Seymour of Middlebury  in said County from September 1821. To the latter part of the year 1828 - that, during that time, the said firm the said firm of Seymour & Holley as as Attorneys for one Alexander Neely prosecuted a suit in ejectment against Timothy Lease of said Middlebury, which suit was in Court a number of years, and on which there was a final recovery against said Lease. And I further say that the said Lease paid to said firm of Seymour & Holley on account of cost recovered against him in said suit, the sum of eight Dollars in the year 1823, and sometime in the year 1827, there was paid to said firm by Timothy Lease in the sum of about ninety one Dollars more, on account of cost recovered in said suit against said Timothy Lease, which latter payment I understand to have been made by said Timothy Lease in the sum of land purchased by him from his father the said Timothy Lease.
And I further say that the said Timothy Lease made heavy sacrifices in the defending said suit, & became materially impoverished thereby.

in County SS. Middlebury June 2. 1831 the foregoing Bill of said Middlebury, and as a credible witness, I made oath to the foregoing Deposition by him subscribed to me William Slade, Justice of Peace.

I Daniel Chipman of Ripton, County of Addison and State of Vermont, of lawful age, Depose and say that in the year 1816 I was employed by Timothy Case of Middlebury in said County to defend an action of ejectment brought against him in favor of one Alexander Neely for the recovery of a part of his farm. In January 1820, a final judgment was rendered against said Case, in said action. At the date of said final judgment, as appears from my books, my account against said Case for professional services in said suit amounted to the sum of $149.12, - $34.50 of which he then paid me - viz, in cash $9.50, and in shares $25. - leaving due the sum of $114.62 - A large bill of cost (the amount of which I do not recollect) having been recovered in said suit against said Case, and finding that he was otherwise much embarrassed, I insisted on security for the balance due me - whereupon, on the 14 th day of June 1820 the said Case procured to be executed to me by, Harry Bell, of the firm of Simmons and Bell, twenty two acres of land which said Case had previously conveyed to said Simmons & Bell by deed dated in January 1821, which said Simmons & Bell was designed as a security for their professional services in said suit as well as my own. At the time that said Case procured said conveyance from said Bell to me, I heard the promise to Timothy Case that if he should pay, annually, the interest on said $114.62 and the principal sum, within eight years from that time  which promise I think contained a stipulation  to Timothy Case, which I think  that if he should pay, annually, the interest on said $114.62 and the principal sum, within eight years from that time

I should convey said land to him, in for simple, a part of said interest has been paid to my agent Mr Chapman, but what part I am not now able to state. No part of the principal has been paid me.

Said Execution was paid, according to my best recollection, by Timothy Case Junr.
And I further say that I find, on the Execution issued on said judgment which is now before me, the following endorsement viz - "Rec d , Oct. 4. 1827, of Timothy Case $48.75 in full of the sum I paid on this, and interest to date, I having paid amount of this to N.

I consider the said $107. to be the full value of said land.
And I further say that I have been well acquainted with the above named Timothy Chase for twelve or fourteen years past, that he has suffered a very heavy loss of property in a tedious lawsuit involving the title to a few acres of his land, which terminated against him - that he has had a very expensive family to support, and that the dispositions of his property since my acquaintance with him, have, as I fully believe, been made bona fide, without any intention to defraud creditors or to place his property in a situation to enable him to obtain a pension, - and that he is now reduced to absolute poverty.

1 On this 15 th day of August, A.D. 1831, personally appeared before the Court of Probate aforesaid, the aforesaid Timothy Lense, in open Court, who, being first duly sworn, according to law, doth, on his oath make the following declaration in addition to, and in explanation of, his former declarations for the purpose of obtaining a pension, made on the 25 th day of February 1830, — That a few months previous to the date of his conveyance of 48 acres of land to Timothy Lense Junr., as mentioned in his said declarations, Daniel Chipman held what had been called 22 acres, but, in fact, but little over 20 acres, of land adjoining said 48 acres, being land conveyed by said Timothy to Simmons & Bell, in the year 1821, as mentioned in said declaration, and by said Bell conveyed to said Chipman and held by him as a security for the payment of a debt due said Chipman from said Timothy — That the said Timothy Junr., desiring to own said Chipman lot, with the said 48 acres, and the said Timothy, having an equity of redemption in said Chipman lot, by virtue of a writing executed to him by said Simmons and Bell on his conveyance to them as aforesaid, it was agreed between said Timothy & Timothy Junr. that the said Chipman lot, and said 48 acres should be appraised together, and that said Timothy Junr. should pay to said Timothy the balance of the whole, after assuming, and deducting the debt due to said

Shipman that the whole was appraised at seven  dollars and fourteen  cents per acre, amounting, in the whole, to about $488.- that said Timothy Sun- paid, and assumed to pay, to said Shipman, according to the Deponents best recollection, to the amount of about $130; and that the balance of said $488 he paid in the manner stated in the Deponents said Declaration - which said $130 is the same $130 stated in said Declaration to have been paid in part of the consideration for the conveyance of said 48 acres of land, when in fact, it formed no part of the price of said 48 acres - that price being only the amount of 48 acres at $7.14 per acre - viz. about $342 - which ought to have been the sum inserted as the consideration of said conveyance of 48 acres -
And the said Timothy lease doth further declare that, in stating in his original declaration that his land was encumbered to the amount of $500, he did not intend to say that said incumbrance actually existed in the year 1818, but he had in his mind the following encumbrances upon said land, amounting to the sum of about $500, viz - a conveyance to Philip Foot, dated the 20 th of March, 1819, conditional for the payment of notes to the amount of about $204 - one other conveyance to said Foot

dated 29 th of November 1824, which, though an absolute deed, was, in reality, given to secure the payment of the sum of $171, the consideration mentioned in said Deed and the incumbrance created by the conveyance to Simmons & Bell as mentioned in his said Declaration. And that the said sums above mentioned were part of the price of said 145 acres of land, originally purchased of said Root.

Columbus O. Apr 3-1932.
Director Bureau of Pensions Washington D.C. Dear Sir:
My great Grandfather, Timothy Case  Case , fought in the Revolutionary War. The family is not in possession of the exact date of his enlistment nor his discharge. However they do know he was wounded at the Battle of Long Island and drew a pension until the time of his death at Chicago Ill - July 30 - 1844. May I have a copy of the records regarding this pension and any other data you may be in possession of as I wish to make application

into the Daughters of the American Revolution. Timothy Case evidently enlisted from New York as his parents home at that time was near Saratoga N.Y. After he was wounded and sent home he was able to hear the guns of the Battle of Saratoga at which Burgoyne surrendered. He was born in 1759 in East Barrington Mass.
Thanking you in advance for your trouble, I remain
Sincerely
Adelaide L. Case 2373 Brentwood Rd Columbus, Ohio
