Josiah Dean of Killingly in the County of Windham and State Connecticut. and that my father in March 1818. applied for a pension on the law of Congress of that year. but could not then, get evidence of his service in the Army of the Revolution. That last year. he was enabled to procure testimony of his service. That. in Dec. 16 th 1830. he gave me a deed of his real estate. being nine acres. appraised worth. one hundred & eight Dollars. and I paid out his debts for him. at that time being Seventy one Dollars. & sixty five cents. & discharged his account to me. of thirty two Dollars. & seventy cents.

making up to that date one hundred & four Dollars. & thirty five cents. all which was justly due from my father. The above real estate. is all he ever was possessed of - or ever owned. He never was the owner of a dwelling house. & has ever lived on charity or hire. His personal estate has not since March 18 th 1888. ever been more than in his schedule. & his real estate has never varied. from the above statement for the last forty years. He has ever been a poor man. & labored for his daily sustenance. & he now receives the charity of his neighbors for support. My father has told me - his father left him a small real estate. which he sold and

Took his pay in Continental money during the Revolutionary war. & lost it all. but the above is all I ever knew him possess. since my remembrance. & I am now forty nine years of age -

Dear Sir:
You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 36506 , that Josiah Dean enlisted November 13, 1775, and served one year as a private in Captains William Barton and Abimelech Riggs' Company, Colonel William Richmond's Rhode Island Regiment.
He was allowed pension on his application executed December 16, 1830, while a resident of Killingly, Windham County, Connecticut, aged seventy-seven years.
The soldier's wife, whose name was not given, was sixty years old in 1830, and his son, Josiah, was forty-nine years old in 1831, and was living in Coventry, Rhode Island, at that time.
The above noted Josiah Dean (all spellings of that name searched) is the only soldier of that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.

Sir, I have a deed to Mr. Dears paper his deposition. as to the charges. in his property since March 18 th 1818. and I send you the deposition of two respectable business men that Jeremiah Field. is the town clerk. of Killington - You suggested it should be proved. by a certificate. of the blank of the County Court of this County. under the seal of office - but such a fact cannot be so proved. in any Court in this State - it is not susceptible of any such proof.

No court in this State, has any legal knowledge of who the Town clerks are of the several towns, but from the records of the towns & that is signed by the Town clerk himself
I send you the evidence of two witnesses of the fact, which with the attested proper would prove the fact in our Courts. The question asked, would be do you know W. S. Hield to be the town Clerk &c -
I hope you will find all the papers, correct & sufficient to support the poor old mans claim I am ob l hull sent Hon. L. C Chap. Sec y of War - Simon Davis -

Can anyone to obtain a Revolutionary record of, at least, me & my ancestor.
I have been told my grand- father, Josiah Dean, of North Hillings (now East Putnam), Conn., had a Revolutionary pension.
Can you give me information on this subject?
Then I would like to know

if there was another Josiah Dean, and if he was in the Revolution, and how were they related.
There seems to be confusion in tracing their descendants, es- pecially as I can't find where my grandfather is buried.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. H. L. Riley, Lynchburg, Mass.

Dear Brother John
I have been very interested in looking up our ancestry, as you know, and now I think there is something you may be able to do for me. We have just been up to Amherst, Mass. to see Arthur's cousin Agnes, and she says she knows that her Great -

grandfather 2 (and Arthur) was a Rev. Soldier - and that she has seen his pension papers, but does not now know what became of them. His name was Josiah Dean, Jr. and he marched from Massa- chusetts to Tiverton R.I. on an alarm - during the latter part of the war, and we are anxious to obtain the exact data, and a copy of the pension paper if possible.

Agnes husband, - Mr. Pelsey is the chemist at the College. and their youngest child is assistant to the Treasurer, at the Adminis- tration Building They are lovely people, and we had a nice visit of one night. We then drove to Pittsfield for the next night, and home next day, - that is, a week ago tomorrow. I'd appreciate this very much if you can get it for me. The reason why
corridor

it has baffled us, I think is because we were looking for it in Conn. as he lived in N. Killingly - not E Putnam, but he enlisted in Mass. There are so many Josiah Dews (44 or so) that it is misleading. There was one in Plainfield - who was Rev. Sol. He married Miriam Tracy in 1769. He was born 1747 died 1824. Our Josiah Jr. was born 1782 and died 1845. He served in the war of 1812 at New London under Noah Sabin, June 21 '13 to June 28 - It may be Agusta

saw some paper relating to Josiah Jr.'s service in the war of 1812.
We can find very little about his father-
He married Anna Buck Mch 25. 1779, and I have their blanket chest, with his name and date cut in it. Josiah was his second child-1782, and his last child was born 1796. so the dates would admit of Revolutionary service.

There is a record of one Josiah Dean in Mass, who was a Private in Capt. Noah Hall's Co., Col. Abiel Mitchell's regt. Commanded by Lieut. Col. James Williams Bragg, Gen. Godfrey's brigade - service 6 days - company marched to Newton P.D. on alarm of Aug 1, 1780 - We are hoping the rest of the data will reveal his identity, by stating his residence (Killingly -) or parents or something. Love to all - Your Sister Florence -

I think Josiah Dean enlisted in the Revolutionary War from Conn. Late in life he lived with his son Jehiel Dean at Galway N.Y. Did he receive a pension if so when did he enlist and when mustered out. Can you give any further information in regard to him. Thanking you in advance.
