On this fourth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred & Twenty, personally appeared, in the court of Common Pleas of the county of Schoharie, said court being a Court of record, Eliphalet Clark aged sixty three years, the 23 d . October last, who being duly sworn according to law doth on his oath declare, that he served in the Revolutionary War as follows, to wit, That he enlisted about the month of May, 1777, but on what particular month or day he cannot with certainty say, into a company commanded by Captain Pond, who soon thereafter died, and the command then devolved upon one Smith or Potter, but which became the Captain he cannot now recollect, nor has he in memory the Christian name of either of said officers, in a Regiment commanded by Colo. Return J. Meigs, in the Brigade commanded of General Parsons, in the Connecticut line; That he was discharged, at Westfield, he believes, in the state of New Jersey, in what county he does not recollect, about the month of May, in the year 1780, having from the time of his enlistment faithfully served, until discharged, which discharge was substantially as follows, "Eliphalet Clark of the 6 th . Connecticut Regiment, having faithfully served three years, the term for which he enlisted, is discharged from the army, and was signed "W. J. Meigs, Colo. Connecticut"; that on the twenty fourth day of April, 1818, he made an original declaration, and which with the discharge above, from recollection, in part recited, has been as he believes transmitted to the War department of the United States, at Wash- ington, to which for further particulars he begs leave to refer - That he has been placed upon the Pension list, and received a pension, and that the number of his certificate is 7110, and I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the

United States on the 10th. day of March, 1810; and that I have not since, by gift, sale or in any manner, disposed of my property, or any part thereof, with intent thereby to diminish it so 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 service of the United States, in the Revolutionary war"; passed on the 10th. day of March, 1810; 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.
A true and perfect inventory of the real and personal estate of Clifttail Clark (necessary clothing and bedding excepted). The said Clifttail Clark hath no real estate whatsoever, except as is hereinafter set forth, that is to say - Lydia, the said Clark's wife, has by deed executed to her since marriage solely, a conveyance, expressed to be for one acre of land, which in fact contains about three fourths of an acre of land, and is worth at the rate of Ten dollars per acre; which is of tolerable soil, but very stony; situated in Jefferson, in the county of Schoharie, on which is a small framed house, erected about fifteen years since, the out side of which is partly covered, and within the lower floor is lain. The kitchen part of which, and a pantry are ceiled; but to the other parts of the house nothing inwardly has been done. In regard to the building of said house two of the said Clark's sons contributed their constant labor, and a daughter concerted the effects of her industry, that their parents and younger children might have a shelter, and without which assistance, the said Clark could never have built at all. The said Clark is advised and justly believes, the value of said house and lot, considered as a perpetual estate in fee , is worth Two hundred Dollars, but no more -
The said Clark has also an article of agreement under seal, dated October 24th. 1812, by which he covenanted to pay Six hundred dollars, lawful money with the interest, in the following manner, to wit, $100, with the interest on the first day of November, 1814, and the like sum, with interest, on the first day of November 1815, 1816, and the residue of the said sum with interest on the first day of November, 1817; which money was the consideration for the sale of the South part of lot Number 33, in Staatsburgh, patent in the

dated October 24th. 1812, by which he covenanted to pay Six hundred dollars, lawful money with the interest, in the following manner, to wit, $100, with the interest on the first day of November, 1814. and the like sum, with interest, on the first day of November 1815 & 1816, and the residue of the said sum with interest on the first day of November, 1817; which money was the consideration or fee paid for the South part of lot Number 33, in Staatsburgh, patent in the town of Jefferson, in the county of Schoharie aforesaid, containing, as is set forth in said article Eighty five acres of land, for which upon the payment of the principal and interest as above mentioned, he was to receive a conveyance in fee simple of said land, but being unable to pay, Clark on the fifth March, 1817, relinquished by endorsement under seal, upon said article of agreement, all his claim to fifty acres of the land therein mentioned, and agrees to pay for the part which he retained, in proportion to the quantity only; to perform which that, as ever pay the interest, he has always heretofore been unable, and still is so; in which article it is further expressly agreed, that if the principal and interest or either of them be behind and unpaid for the space of one whole year after the first of November, 1817, that the party contracting to convey, might re-enter upon the premises, and the possession thereof take, and his obligation to convey cease, and the payments that had been made should be wholly forfeited, with the improvements, The said Clark has improved about ten acres of said land, is wholly unable to pay the balance due, and cannot as his contract is forfeited obtain assignment any thing for his possessory right, as he verily believes -
His personal estate is as follows, to wit,
One cow, 6 sheep, 1 calf, 2 small hogs, 1 old plough, 7 do. dray teeth, 2 do. chains, 2 do. pitch forks, 1 do shovel, 1 do. scythe, 1 do. axe, 1 do hoe, 1 do. hand fan, for cleaning grain, 2 do. meal barrels, 1 Schooner do. 1 old pair and irons, 2 do. spinning wheels, 9 do. chairs, 1 do wooden clocks, 1 chest, 1

an old top to a case of drawers, 2 do. tubs. 2 Flat irons, 1 old candlestick, 3 do. pails, 1 do. tub, 1 Flat tub small. 1 iron pot. 1 small do. kettle, 1 Shovel and tongs, 1 spider, 1 old brass kettle, 1 Old bed-pan, 2 iron candle sticks, 6 knives and forks, 1 set or 12 spoons, 2 old pewter platters, 5 do. plates, 5 glass bottles, 2 half pint tumblers, 2 Teal glasses, 4 earthen beakers, 12 earthen plates, 1 earthen pitcher, 1 Quart-mug, 3 Milk pans, all old lin, 1 small old looking-glass, 1 Hatchet, 1 Tea-pot, 6 Tin plates, 3 tin beakers, 1 Tin Cullender, 1 Iron wedge, 1 Old side saddle, about 15 bushels corn, about 12 bushels of rye, an unknown quantity of potatoes, suppose 20 bushels, not yet dug, about 2 1/2 tons hay, 5 Old bags, small candle-box, pair old bed irons, 2 frigs, 1 pint tumbler - (Signet) Eliphalet Clark
I the said Eliphalet Clark do further in manner aforesaid, suear and declare, that I have no trade, though I sometimes make coarse shoes, but am a common laborer, that I am upon any exc- ertion of body more than ordinary troubled with a palpitation of the heart as it is called, and the stitches, the violence and suffering from which, is proportionate to the exertion, that they were brought on by services and sufferings in the Revolutionary War, and have accompa- ied me ever since; that I am lame in the right leg, it having been many years since, broken, and was too improperly replaced to restore its usefulness, that I am able to do some labor, but not to exceed one third of what in better days I used to do; and that I am incapa- ble of supporting myself. Lydia my wife was fifty five years of age the twenty seventh of March last, she is a cripple, occasioned by formerly breaking both legs broken, both of which are constantly in degree, and one very materially lame. She is incapable of doing much productive labor, and of supporting herself. Julia Clark a daughter aged fifteen years the 16th, April last, is an unhealthy girl, being afflicted with the asthma, and un- able to support herself -

Emily Clark, another daughter aged twelve years the twenty third October last, and is a fine hardy girl. The above described persons constitute the family of the said Elizabeth Clark, for whom he is bound to proceed,
Sworn subscribed & declared (Signed) Elizabeth Clark - the 14th day of October, 1820.

John Smart, Clerk
The Court are of opinion that the whole value of the property of Elizabeth Clark above named does not exceed the sum of Three hundred and Twenty four Dollars -
I, John Smart, Clerk of the court of common pleas, of the county of Schoharie in the state of New York do hereby certify that the foregoing oath and the schedule or inventory thereunto annexed are truly copied from the record of the said court; and I do further certify, that it is the opinion of the said court, that the total amount in value of the property exhibited in the aforesaid schedule or inventory is Three hundred and twenty four Dollars.
In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my name and affixed the seal of said Court, this fourth day of October 1820.

I take the liberty of stating it as the opinion of the acquaintance of the said Clark and his family, that if any surviving soldier of the revolution ought to participate of the bounty of his country, his and his family's situation is such as to give him a strong claim -
Should defects of form be discovered, fatal to the success of the application, it is respectfully requested, that the defects be pointed out, and the subscribers notified there that they may be corrected; and when the case shall have passed upon, it is requested the result should be made known to the same -

Also did Abraham and Thendrick Teator  N.Y. Senior of Hutchins or Schoharie Co. claim pensions?
Thanks very much-
Cordially yours

Mr. Washington Gardiner Comm. Bu. of Pensions. Att. Rev. War Records Section Dear Sir, -
I am writing you in an effort to trace the names of the sons of Eliphalet Clark, a Revolutionary soldier who served 1777-1780 under Col. Meigs. He enlisted at Middletown Conn, and applied for a pension while living at Jefferson, Schoharie Co. N.Y.
I believe he had two sons, one of which was named Eliphalet b. 1780. and it is in this regard that I would have you examine any applications for evidence confirming the relationship.
In the application for pension the above soldier mentions his wife's name and his two daughters but does not give the names of the sons . If he even mentions their age, occupation, residences or the fact that they were or were not dependent on him, I may be able to establish the connection. Kindly give me all the information on file regarding the above soldier & family.
This information will be used only as a matter of family record.
Thanking you for any help that you may be able to give regarding above, I am!
Yours sincerely E. L. Clark

Dear Sir,
I did not realize that I needed to furnish information, concerning Eliphalet Clark, more than of Lyman Clark, to get the pension record. — The information that is here is meagre, and may not suffice.
"Com. Rev." says Eliphalet Clark, private, Company Kirkland, Date of enlistment May 2 nd '77. Term 3 years, Disc. May 2 nd '80 — Sixth Reg. Conn.

Leica. — I also have learned that he went from Killington, and took the place of another man.
What I would like to know is, the place of his residence, when he recd his pension. 1818.
Very Sincerely
Mrs Victor F. Clark.

P.S.
If you keep the census of 1790 , will you please give me the record of Joel Clark, of Addison Co. Vt.
