While residing at said Windham, he enlisted and served in the Connecticut Troops, as follows-
From July 1, 1779, eight months as a private in Captain Joseph Durkee's Company, Colonel Levi Wells' Regiment; and from August 1781, three months as corporal in Captain Vaughn's Company, Colonel Canfield's Regiment.
He was allowed pension on his application executed July 27, 1832, while a resident of Chaplin, Windham County, Connecticut. He died April 1, 1844 at Hampton, Connecticut.

In consequence of the severity of the winter & the great depth of snow it was almost impossible for us to be supplied with rations, we were com- pelled a part of the time to be quartered upon the inhabitants & owing to the scarcity of provision, & the difficulty of getting our supplies, our company at Stratford was discharged a few days before the expiration of our enlistment, & we were in service including the time it took to get home eight months, & we received eight months wages, we came home thro' Hartford and crossed the ferry when the Connecticut river was breaking up & went some of the way on the ice & some in the ferry boat. —

Dear Sir
Yours with instructions from the Department is recd. I am sorry to further in this matter but it seems that the certificate which I forwarded sworn to before Esq. Martin Judge of Probate for Pillsbury & so certified under his official seal, is lost and that I must take it on again. I do not see how I can supply the defect in the papers unless they are returned to me. If you will obtain them and return them to me, I will supply the defect and forward again in hopes of final success. I have not yet been able to collect a list of names for you but hope to be able to do so soon.

I am told that there was an Amos Clark of Chaplin, Conn., also an Amos Clark jr - probably of the same town - both of whom received pensions for service rendered during the Revolution. I wonder if I could get the pension records of these men?

As one of them that name was living at Chatham, Conn when he applied for a pension, I do not want his record - only the two living in the other towns. Shall be much obliged.
Very Truly Yours.

Brooklyn Ct. May 12 th 1856
Dr Sir,
From what I have noticed of the doings of Congress, I suppose there is no longer a necessity for your requiring "Record evidence of Service" in the application of the Widows of Revolutionary Pensions. If am right in this, I would respectfully call your attention to the case of Alice Cady, Widow of Richard Cady, and also of Hannah Clark Widow of Amos Clark, both Widows of Revolutionary Pensions, and in which I have been notified, that there is no Record evidence of their service. Both of these Widows are in advanced life, and very infirm and poor. If the objection against granting them Bounty Land Warrants, on account

of there being no Record evidence of their husbands' services, have been removed and understand it to have been, by the action of Congress, you will confer a great favour upon the Applicants, by forward- ing their Land Warrants as soon as possible -
Will you have the goodness to forward their Warrants, or inform me if any thing more, on my part, is necessary to be done in order to obtain them legally -
By a compliance with the foregoing request, you will greatly oblige
Yours very Respectfully
