State of Connecticut, County of Litchfield G. Probate District of Sharon.
At a court of Probate held at Salisbury in and for the District of Sharon on the 10. day of September A1832. Present Samuel Church Esq. Judge.
On this 10. day of September A1832 Personally appeared in open court before the Court of Probate for the district of Sharon in the County of Litchfield and State of Connecticut now sitting, Isaac Chamberlain a resident of the town of Sharon in the said County of Litchfield & State of Connecticut aged Seventy five 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 7. A1832.
That I entered the service of the United States under the following names Huns and Serua as herein stated.
I was born in New Marlborough in the County of Berkshire and commonwealth of Massachusetts on the 29. day of October 1756

I have no other Record of my age or time of birth except in my family Bible now in my possession. I was living in the said town of Sharon when I was called into service of my country in the war of the Revolution and I have ever since the close of the Revolutionary war resided in said town of Sharon, and I now reside in the same town of Sharon. In May 1775 I enlisted into a company as a private, commanded by Major Samuel Elmer of said Sharon, Lieut Amos Chappe, 2 d Lieut Parmalee of Dighton and Ensign Moses Shepherd of Barkhamstead as I think, I enlisted and served in this company for seven months. We marched about the 1 st day of June, and went to Scituate & remained a few days & then we went to Crown Point and staid awhile & then I was detached from the rest of the company and was sent back to Scituate and was employed in the boat building business until my time of service expired which was on the 1 st of December 1775 when I returned home. I understand a Pay Roll of this company is now in the possession of Mr Ebe Everett of said Sharon who married a daughter of Major Elmer  Everett , on which my name

as miscribed as a member of said company; this company was a company of Connecticut State troops as I understand. I don't know but we were called Militia. The Regiment was under command of Colonel Hemenway of Woodbury. The whole Regi- ment was not together, part went to Boston and the other Regimental Officers I do not remember as I was so engaged most of the time as not to be acquainted with them. General Sanger had the Chief Command, I don't remember what other troops were at Crown Point or from during a
On the 1 st day of February I think and in the year 1776 I again enlisted as a private into a com- pany of Continental troops, I believe, but perhaps they were Connecticut State troops. The company was commanded by Capt. David Parsons of Sharon Lieut. Adonijah Griswold, 2 d Lieut. David Doty and Samuel Johnson Ensign. I enlisted at this time for One year, we belonged to Colonel Charles Dunbar's Regiment, Lieut. Colonel Nathaniel Buel, Major John Sedgwick were the Regimental Officers. About 8. March 1776 we marched to Albany where we were delayed for some time by the ice & then we marched to Fort George

We staid there a few days, when we then marched to St. Andrews & then immediately to St. Johns we were soon relieved by us. A part of the company marched to the Cedars, but myself and some others of our company remained awhile at St. Johns to guard the fort, when we were relieved, we went to La Prairie, then we sent a detachment of troops Captain James Wilkinson, and under his command we marched to La Chine where there we met a body of troops under General Ar- nold, next we went to Fort St. Ann's at the head of the Island of Montreal, the same  next day I was one of a detachment of pioneers who went in boats to reconnoitre the enemy, in a few  the next days after I went with the flag of truce to exchange prisoners & was present when the Indians in violation of the flag of truce fired upon one of our boats, from this expectation we soon recaptured the river, I was then sick with Fever and Ague, we came back to Cham- bly & there we met our troops in their retreat from Quebec & then I was convalesced from small pox, afterwards I had a violent attack of dis- entery and afterwards was again sick of fever & ague. After I returned to St. Andrews I was detached

to perform Carpenter business in Shek and on the fat until the 1 st day of February 1777 when my time of service expired & in a few days after I returned Home. In the year 1777 I was out at several alarms at Danbury and other places.
In the month of April 1778 I enlisted as a sergeant into a company of Artificers belong- ing to the Regiment commanded by Jonathan Baldwin, Colonel. This company was commanded by Captain Monmouth Purdie, & Robert Williamson son Lieutenant. As I understand the company was raised in July or August 1777, and when I enlisted I took the place of Sergeant John Young who had been in the company from August 1777 and I was substituted for him. I enlisted for three years computing the time which the said John Young had served, tho' I was out in fact serve but two years and four or five months three or four months. We went from Sharon with Scout Williamson to New Windsor on the West side of Hudson River, on my arrival there the Com- pany to which I belonged had gone to Esopus to raise a kebele called the Lady Washington

which was sunk in Eel River Creek & I went there and joined the company. This season  winter after, I was employed until February at Fish hill, in building barracks, stables, stores &c. but a small part of that time I was at Kingsbury to repair boats for the Army to cross the river after the battle of Moore mouth. In February 1779 we went to Newland's Point, and was employed in building block house and other services about the fortification which was erected there. We were under the direction at this time of a French Engineer whose name was Gouven. we began a fortification on Stoney point but abandoned it in the approach of the British, and went to Pecks hill, and from thence to Fish hill, in June after we were employed in the town of Beekman about twenty miles east of Fish hill in building a provision store. Then we returned to Fish hill continuing & were engaged in building a dock there, while we were at this place General Wayne stormed the Fort erected by the enemy at Stoney Point & the wounded were brought up to Fish hill. We went to Stoney Point again after the enemy evacuated it, & I had a horse until February to come home, this was

February 1780. I returned to Stony Point about the middle of February & had command of the town party until April or May, as the other officers were all absent until that time. Col Govein was there again as Engineer, we staid until we completed the job. From thence we went up to a point on the east side of Hudson River, called Rotenburg, opposite West Point, from thence we went to West Point where I was discharged on the 1 st day of August 1780. My discharge was a written discharge signed by General Poor and a certificate from John Shephard who was then the Captain of my Company that I had served my time out & also a recommendation for a commission. These papers soon after the war, I sent to Hartford for the purpose of drawing money as I believe, but for some reason for which I was told it was necessary to send them to the Pay Table or hearing at Hartford I cannot find them at Hartford I have been told that they or some of them have been sent to the War Department at Washington. I have no other documentary evidence by which to prove my

service except the Certificate of Hon. Eliza Phelps Comptroller of this State.
I received no written discharge from my two last terms of service.
I am known to Hon. John Cotton Smith, Hovey Asahel Sterling, Rev. David L. Perry & others in my neighborhood who can testify to my character for truth & sovereignty & their belief in my services as a soldier of the revolution.
I hereby renounce every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declare that my name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State.

REGULATIONS UNDER THE ACT OF JUNE 7, 1832.
The following regulations have been adopted:
This law has been construed to extend, as well to the line, as to every branch of the Staff of the Army, and to include under the terms "Continental Line," "State troops," "militia," and "volunteers," all persons enlisted, drafted, or who volunteered and who were bound to military service, but not those who were occasionally employed with the army upon civil contracts, such as Clerks to Commissaries and to Store Keepers, &c. Teamsters, Boatmen, &c. Persons who served on board of Private Armed Vessels are also excluded from the benefits of the law, as well as persons who turned out as patrols, or were engaged in guarding particular places at night, and were not recognized as being in actual military service.
Four general classes of cases are embraced in this law:
 1. The Regular Troops.  2. The State Troops, Militia, and Volunteers.  3. Persons employed in the Naval service.  4. Indian Spies. 
As rolls of the regular troops in the Revolutionary War exist in this Department, all persons, claiming the benefit of this law as officers, non-commissioned officers, musicians or privates, will in the first instance, make application by transmitting the following declaration, which will be made before a Court of Record of the County where such applicant resides. And every Court having by law a seal and Clerk is considered a Court of Record.

[This form is to be varied so as to apply to the cases of officers and persons who belonged to the militia, volunteers, navy, &c.]
He hereby relinquishes every claim (f) whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any Agency in any State, or (if any) only on that of the Agency in the State of _____
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
A. B.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion (g) that the above named applicant was a revolutionary soldier, and served as he states.
I _____ of the Court of _____ do hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of the application of _____ for a pension.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this _____ day of _____ &c.
If, on examination of the proper record the names of applicants, making such declaration, cannot be found, they will produce such proof as the rule given in note (j) points out.
Every applicant who claims a pension by virtue of service in the State Troops, Volunteers or Militia, except those who belonged to the New Hampshire Militia and State Troops of Virginia, will make and subscribe a declaration similar to the foregoing, with the following additions, viz:
(k) We, A. B., a Clergyman, residing in the _____ and C. D. residing in (the same) _____ hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with _____, who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be _____ years of age; that he is reputed and believed, in the neighborhood where he resides, to have been a soldier of the Revolution, and that we concur in that opinion.
Sworn and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, that the above named applicant was a Revolutionary Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A. B.
who has signed the preceding certificate, is a clergyman, resident in the _____ and that C. D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the _____ and is a credible person, and that their statement is entitled to credit.
I, _____ Clerk of the Court of _____ do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the application of _____ for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office, this _____ day of _____ &c.
Every applicant will produce the best proof in his power. This is the original discharge or commission; but if neither of these can be obtained, the party will so state under oath, and will then procure, if possible, the testimony of at least one credible witness, stating in detail his personal knowledge of the services of the applicant, and such circumstances connected therewith, as may have a tendency to throw light upon the transaction.
If such surviving witness cannot be found, the applicant will so state in his declaration (l) and he will also, whether he produce such evidence or not, proceed to relate all the material facts, which can be useful in the investigation of his claim, and in the comparison of his narrative with the events of the period of his alleged service, as they are known at the Department. A very full account of the services of each person

will be indispensable to a favorable action upon his case. The facts stated will afford one of the principal means of corroborating the declaration of the applicant, if true, or of detecting the imposition, if one be attempted; and unless, therefore, these are amply and clearly set forth, no favorable decision can be expected. All applicants will appear before some Court of Record in the County, in which they reside, and there subscribe and be sworn to, one of the declarations above provided, according to the nature of his case.
The Court will propound the following (m) interrogatories to all applicants for a pension, on account of service in the Militia, State troops, or Volunteers, except the Militia of New Hampshire and the State troops of Virginia.
 1. Where and in what year were you born?  2. Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?  3. Where were you living when called into service; where have you lived since the Revolutionary war, and where do you now live?  4. How were you called into service; were you drafted, did you volunteer, or were you a substitute? And if a substitute, for whom?  5. State the names of some of the Regular Officers, who were with the troops, where you served; such Continental and Militia Regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your services.  6. { To a Soldier. } Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it given and what has become of it? { To an Officer. } Did you ever receive a commission, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what has become of it? 
7. State the names of persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood, and who can testify as to your character for veracity, and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution.
The Court will see that the answers to these questions are embodied in the declaration, and they are requested to annex their opinions of the truth of the statement of the applicant.
The applicant will further produce in Court, if the same can be done, in the opinion of the Court, without too much expense and inconvenience to him, two respectable persons -one of whom should be the nearest clergyman, if one lives in the immediate vicinity of such applicant, who can testify, from their acquaintance with him, that they believe he is of the age he represents, and that he is reputed and believed in the neighborhood to have been a Revolutionary soldier, and that they concur in that opinion. If one of these persons is a Clergyman, the Court will so certify, and they will also certify, to the character and standing of other persons, giving such certificates.
The traditional evidence of service is deemed very important, in the absence of any direct proof, except the declaration of the party. And the Courts are requested to be very particular in the enquiry whether the belief is general, and whether any doubts have ever existed upon the subject.
Applicants unable to appear in Court by reason of bodily infirmity, may make the declaration before required, and submit to the examination, before a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record of the proper county, and the Judge or Justice will execute the duties, which the Court is herein requested to perform, and will also certify that the applicant cannot, from bodily infirmity, attend the Court.
Whenever any official act is required to be done by a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or by a Justice of the peace, the certificate of the Secretary of State or Territory, or of the proper Clerk of the Court or County, under his seal of office, will be annexed, stating that such person is a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or a Justice of the Peace, and that the signature annexed is his genuine signature.
No payments can be made on account of the services of any person, who may have died before the taking effect of the act of June 7, 1832; and in case of death subsequent thereto, and before the declaration herein required is made, the parties interested will transmit such evidence as they can procure, taken and authenticated before a Court of Record, showing the services of the deceased, the period of his death, the opinion of the neighborhood respecting such services, the title of the claimant, and the opinion of the Court upon the whole matter.
[a] The declarant must appear in open Court, unless prevented from doing so by reason of bodily infirmity; in which case the declarant will follow the rule laid down for his guidance. [b] The declarant must make his declaration in the county where he resides. If he should fail to do so, he must assign a sufficient reason for not conforming to the rule. [c] The age of the claimant must invariably be mentioned. [d] The declarant must mention the period or periods of the war when he served. [e] Every continental officer or soldier must give the name of the Colonel under whom he served; otherwise a satisfactory examination of the claim cannot be had. Every claimant must state, with precision, the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the Department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service; but, according to the best of his recollection, he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades:—For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____. For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension." 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 that 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 shown 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. [f] The law makes the relinquishment indispensable. [g] The opinion of the Court is always required. [h] The Clerk must give his certificate in every case. [i] The Clerk must affix his seal, and if it has no device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal, or if he 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.
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 papers 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.
Proof of Service.
[j] 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 claimant's 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. [k] The notes from [a] to [i] are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops. The proof required by rule in note [j] applies to continental troops only. [l] This traditional evidence is indispensable in militia cases. [m] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact. [n] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.
