Frederick Chapman 2 nd Declaration

State of Connecticut } Is East Windsor. County of Hartford }
On this 19 th day of November A D 1832 personally appeared, in open court before the Court of Probate for the District of East Windsor aforesaid now sitting Frederic Chapman, a resident of Windsor in the County & State aforesaid, aged now 72 years who being first duly sworn according to Law, doth on his oath make the following declarations in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 th A D 1832. Which declaration is in addition to, and explanatory of his declaration heretofore made before this court, on the 4 th day of August 1832 and bears in red Ink the No 1792.
The service in which he did duty in Windsor aforesaid was in a single company enlisted by Capt James Hooker of said Windsor for the purpose of guarding the Army & Hospital Stores belonging to the United States, and which were kept in that Town, as a place of security & convenience for the different parts of the country as they might be wanted; and which were delivered out to the order of the following named persons as beside others, according to Capt Hookers Book now in possession of this court a book a Book of such size as to be very inconvenient to send on to the War Department. Viz General Washington, Coll Jere Wadsworth, Doct John Potts, Doct Foster, Doctor Timothy Root, Doct Dunning, Doct Turner, Capt Berrien, &c. The Company were enlisted as aforesaid, embodied, drew their rations, were subject to Military Law we were there every night & kept sentry each changing every two hours the number was about Forty men

The company then under the command of Capt James Hooker was usually commanded by its non commissioned officers Sergeant Daniel be Sergeant Millson & Sergeant Brown On the Winter a detachment was made from the Militia & Ensign Daniel Hayden who was detached commanded in the absence of Capt Hooker
After the expiration of one year, so many of the stores were removed, that the whole guard was not in continual service; there being less property to guard, and less danger apprehended from incendiaries, which the enemy might employ for its destruction; the service became less vigilant; part of the men were permitted to be off on their own business in the day time.
Although the applicant belonged to the guard the second year, he made no application for more than the first year, as he had no disposition to attempt to detach to take any advantage of the generosity of the government unreasonably or unjustly.
Again respecting the service performed in Col Samuel Willis Regiment in the year 1780, as set forth in his Declaration of August 4 th 1832. The name of his captain he does not recollect his company he says was always mustered while I was with the company by Lieut Perry I saw General Washington & Suit he reviewed us as he went down to Winter quarters; I think Capt Heath of West Hartford commanded the company. Capt Heath was dismissed or deranged & sent home, soon after he the applicant joined the service Lieut Samuel Gibbs proposed to him as he was quite young to serve as his Warden

which I accepted, I was occasionally paraded ransum to roll call, he served out the full term of four months & received a written discharge from Lieut Perry which he has now lost. Frederick Chapman
Being employed by Lieut Gibbs as his Waiter the applicant was not called out to answer to his name but once a month and he suggests that from that circumstance his name may not be found on the muster roll, he mfd with Comfort Midway of Lieut Perrys Company To this service he sent the Affidavit of Sergeant David Gibbs & he does not know of another living witness. Frederick Chapman
I Edgar Bispell Clerk of the court of Probate for the District of East Windsor do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said court in the matter of the application of Frederick Chapman in addition to and explanation of his declaration of August 4 th 1832 for a pension

Declaration of Frederick Chapman of Windsor in the County of Hartford and State of Connecticut in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress of June 7 th A 1832. In addition to and explanatory of his decla- rations made on the 4 th day of August 1832, and on the 19 th day of November 1832.
State of Connecticut } Ss East Windsor County of Hartford } on this 27 th day of April — A 1833 personally appeared in open Court, before the Court of Probate for the District of East Windsor afore- said now sitting Frederick Chapman, a resident of Windsor in the County & State aforesaid aged 72 years, a person of veracity who being first duly sworn according to Law, doth on his oath make the following declarations in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress of June 7 th A 1832.
That he entered the company of Guard at S d Windsor in the forepart of March 1778, by enlisting to Capt James Hooker for the term of one year, to guard the Hospital & Army Stores, that he did his duty faithfully for the full term of one year, in said guard The number which I stated in my Decla- ration as composing said guard according to the best of my recollection had reference

To the time when it was the largest: To wit in the winter following the time of our enlistment, when a Detachment was made from the Militia to assist us: what the precise number was I would not undertake to say but my impression was that when at the largest it numbered about forty. But of the exact number after so long a time he cannot feel certain.
At the end of one year, to wit about in the forepart of March 1779, his first period of services terminated & he was lawfully discharged but has no written discharge.
And the time he served in the Guard the second year was in some instances as a Volunteer, for a few days and sometimes as a substitute for a friend as he lived very near and could do it without any great inconvenience but for the services rendered in this way he presented no claim in his first or second declaration.
In relation to his service in Col Willis Regiment in the year 1780 he cannot account for the circumstance of his name not being found on the Muster Roll except that he was employed as Lieut Gibbs Waiter. The circumstances of his entering the service from home

was that in May 1780 himself & Elihu Stanley Benton were drafted for a Nine Months tour he Benton to do half & he Chapman to do the other half when Benton had served his part of the tour. He the Chapman went down to the Army in New Jersey & found it as a private service then expired agreed to stay as a Substitute for Rufus Gibbs & did stay until he was sent for home on account of his Father's sickness. Benton was by trade a Tailor & was employed at his trade most of the time.
He knows no surviving witnesses of his service but Sergeant David Gibbs whose affidavit he sent with his first application

I Elisha Phelps, Comptroller of Public Accounts for the State of Connecticut, do certify that the foregoing is a true copy, from the journal of the Governor & Council of Safety for the State of Connecticut, now remaining in this Office, & I further certify that upon the journal of the late Pay Table Office, also remaining in this Office, that under date of the 9 th day of July 1779, there was charged to the United States, an order on the Treasurer, in the words & figures, viz, "United States

"Dr To an order on the Treasurer & Serjeant "Denslow for guarding Continental Stores at "Windsor £1004. 16. 10," also under date of the 5 th day of April 1780 is another charge to the United States in the words & figures following viz, "United States Dr To order on Treasurer " & Captain Elisha Haiman for his Company " Guard Detachment ————— £1415. 12. 6 " To do & Serj.

Elisha Haiman

Honored Sir
I received this day the papers of Frederick Chapman returned from your office. Mr Chapman claimed one year as the period of his service in the guard while the Duty was regular & continual.
After the expiration of this term he states that so many of the Stores were removed that tho' he again entered the guard after his first dismissal the duty was so light & they were permitted to be so much of the time about their own business that he did not make any application respecting the second year. It appears from the testimony of four credible Persons that Mr Chapman served faithfully in the Guard for the full term of one year, viz from the Affidavit of Jerijah Bissell, Roswell Miller Elyah Denslow & Samuel Moather all of them them belonging to the Guard two of which were sent with the papers when transmitted to your office before and two are now added. If any greater number would be more satisfactory the affidavit of every survivor could be obtained & sent, perhaps six or more.
Respecting the service performed in Col John Wyllie's Regiment Mr Chapman cannot

obtain the evidence required by your regulations he sent Serj David Gibbs Affidavit of his service as stated but it does not amount to what the regulations require.
Respecting the number of the guard the witnesses some of them state that in the Winter following, the year of their enlistment that is in the Winter of 1779 the duty was so hard that a detachment of the Militia was ordered out to assist them. The impression as to the number which Mr Chapman thought composed the guard might have been made at the time when there was the largest number, probably not less than the number he judged.
With respect to the character of Mr Chapman and that he is not the Man who would claim for services he had not rendered The letter of Henry L Ellsworth Esq to the Secretary of War sent with his first application & the certifi- cates now sent will give full satisfaction I doubt not.
Mr Chapman does not say in his second declaration that he was not discharged at the end of the first year , but continued on without interruption into the second, as I understand him but that the first stands distinct by itself, and that he was being in the guard a part of the time the second year.
is wholly irrelevant and forms no part of the Praises in this application.
With sincere respect I am your Obed Servt
Jesse Charlton
East Windsor May 7 th A 1833.
P.S. With regard to the number of the guard a credible person of a clear memory informed me that when the Detachment made from the Militia in 1779 were with the guard the Num- ber was thirty two.
I cannot think after the additional Testimony, and the certificate of the Hon W W Ellsworth & of Judge Miles the Post Master of Hartford who are well acquainted with Mr Chapman there can be any doubt on your mind respecting his servi- ces.
