I Jeremiah Chamberlain, a native of Pappencell in the County of Middlesex, now of Nobleborough in the County of Lincoln and District of Maine, a citizen of the United States, on oath declare and say: That at Suffield in Connecticut, in May, or the first of June, in the year 1780, I enlisted as a private soldier on the continental establishment in the war of the revolution, during the war. In a few days after I passed muster before Major Walbridge. In the same month I joined the army in New Jersey, below West Point, and was enrolled and served in the company of Capt. Alden, in the second regiment of the Connecticut line, commanded by Col. Hoyt, till a new arrangement of the line in the next autumn when the second and ninth regiments were united as the third regiment and commanded by Col. Webb. About the last of the January following I was arranged in the infantry, in the company of Capt. Welles, in the regiment commanded by a French Col. called Lemotte, or De Motte, or a name of that sound, I continued to serve in this company more than a year, I think it was as much as sixteen months, and was at the taking

of Cornwallis. After this fatigued duty was urgent at Yorktown, and I met with a bruise in my leg by a rolling cart. My lameness from this was such that about the first of May following, the infantry being called to active duty, I was transferred to Capt. Williams's company in my former third regiment, where I remained, incapable of duty from lameness about two months, till about the first of July, when I received a regular discharge, having served more than two years. My discharge I have lost. J. S. Chamberlain

NOTES.
* State what war. † Volunteered, or was draughted—as the case may be. ‡ This declaration must be accompanied by satisfactory proof of the marriage, of the husband's death, and the present widowhood of the claimant. If there be a public record of the marriage, a duly certified copy of it should be forwarded, if possible. If there be none but a private or family record, such family record, or a certified copy of the same, should be forwarded, with the affidavit of some disinterested persons proving the genuineness of the original and the correctness of the copy. If no public or private record of the marriage exist, or can be procured, that fact should be set forth in the declaration; and in such case, other evidence—such as the testimony of persons who knew the parties in the lifetime of the husband, and knew them to cohabit as husband and wife, and to be so reputed—will be admissable. § In no case, however, will the mere statement of witnesses that the claimant is the widow of the deceased be taken as evidence of the marriage; but the witnesses must state facts and circumstances from which they derive their knowledge or opinion that she is the widow of the deceased. ‡ State what act; and if no application has ever been made, state so.

Washington D.C. April 10. 1851. — Hon. Jas E. Heath. Commissioner of Pensions. — Sir. —
On the 3 d inst I presented some papers in the Pension Office, in support of the claim of Mrs Sarah Chamberlain for arrearages of a Revolutionary Pension due to her. On the 7 th inst I received a letter from your office, informing me that on the 2 d of January last, her Pension was increased from $80 to $96, and her certificate sent to H. D. Johnson Esq. of this city. —
In the papers filed on the 3 d inst, Mrs Chamberlain makes no claim for a new certificate, the one issued in January last having been received by her. She now claims an amount equal to $16 per year from March 4 th 1836 to make her Pension equal to $96 per year, the amount to which she is entitled under the Act of July 1838, and such other arrearages of her Pension, as may now be due and payable at the Treasury.
The husband of Mrs Chamberlain was in service during the Revolutionary War, 2 years and 9 months, as will be shown by the papers presented by her, to obtain her Pension. Under the Act of June 17, 1832, he would therefore have been entitled to a Pension of $96 per annum.

By the Act under which Mrs Chamberlain received her Pension, "widows are entitled to the same annuity or pension that their husbands would be allowed if living".
Although clearly entitled to a pension of $96 per year, her name was inscribed on the pension roll for but $80 per annum. Why this is so she cannot tell. She now claims the arrearage of $16 per annum, and such other sum, or arrearage of her pension, that may be now due, and payable at the Treasury.
Hoping that her claim will receive an early consideration
I am Sir-
Very Respectfully
Your Obedt. Servt. —
