On this twentieth — day of November one thousand eight hundred and thirty nine, personally appeared — me Abraham B. Stephens a judge — before the Judges of the court of common pleas, in and for said county. Sarah Coe, a resident of the town of Clarkstown, in said county, aged Seventy one years, who, being first duly sworn, according to law, doth, on her oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress, passed July 7. 1830. entitled "An act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows." that she is the widow of Samuel Coe, who was a Sergeant and Private, and served during the Revolutionary war, as follows. That in the year 1776. her said late husband then residing within the beat of a company commanded by Capt. Garret Ackerson, in Col d A. Hawkes Hays Regiment, on or about the fifteenth of July, in said year, the British having sailed up the Hudson River, and took their stations in Haverstraw and Tappan bays, her said husband was ordered with the rest of the company, to guard along the said river to prevent their landing, and served one month as a Sergeant, when he was discharged until further orders, but was soon again called out to guard as aforesaid, as the British soon returned to their former stations and continued to come and go, until winter, when they remained at New York, and at every return to their former stations, the company to which her husband belonged had to guard, to prevent their landing, but how long he was out at each time, or how many times he served after the first she cannot say, nor can she receive any correct information thereof, as there is not one now living who served with him in said company, as far as her knowledge extends, to inquire of, but she believes herself often in saying that he served two weeks in the month of September and two weeks in the month of October in said year as a Sergeant. —
That in the year 1777. the company was divided into four classes, and to serve in weekly tours, and her said husband served therein, but how much she is unable to say, but believes at least one week in each month from the first of April until the last of December, as a Sergeant.
That in the year 1778, her said husband served as is set forth in 1777, as far as any information is by her recollected —
That in 1779. her said husband first served as a volunteer under Lieutenant Colonel Blandett, in Col d Hays Regiment for some considerable time as a Private, then returned to his old Capt d and served under him for

more than three months as a Sergeant, and afterwards enlisted and served three months as a private under Capt John Gardner, in Col n Hays Regiment—
That at this late period all her said husbands fellow Soldiers being dead, she is unable to find a single witness to prove the same, and all she can now offer as testimony is the annexed certificates.
She further declares, that from information received from her said husband he served much time as a teamster during said war by  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was  was

Hon d Sir
Accompanying is the Declaration of Sarah Cox, widow of Samuel Cox, for a pension.
She being a woman not willing to set forth under Oath any thing but what she firmly believes to be true, has caused some omissions to be made in her declaration. Before sworn to, for after a reconsideration of the services rendered by her said husband, as by him related she was not perfectly satisfied as those services erased.
She has not a single living witness to offer, and the Annexed Certificate is all the positive testimony she now has to offer. She is satisfied, according to the declarations of her late husband that he was a great part of his time during each year of the Revolutionary engaged in the service of the United States which, if he had lived might have been particularly set forth but he being dead she is unable to do. She therefore submits her claims supported only by her Oath and the Annexed certificate.
I remain Hon d Sir

Your letter of the 15 th Instant, in the case of Sarah Coe widow of Samuel Coe is recieved, and you state that all the claimant can be allowed, upon the proof on file, is for one month and 17 days as a Sergeant and five Months and 13 days as a private & that the certificate of stock is no evidence of Service.
expecting that you had overlooked the some of the proof offered, I would again refer you to the Comptrollers Certificate which I believe are as follows
  Jan y 20 th 1780 -  16252  Samuel Coe Priv t  0.0.0    Oct r 3 rd 1779  16624  Samuel Coe Serg t  12.5.4    Dec r 31 1779  17142  Samuel Coe Priv t  3.0.5  
Sergeants pay being $10 00 Month would make his service three Months and two days as a Sergeant and the 11.0.5 as a private would make four months and four days and by taking one half of the amount would entitle her to a pension of $29.10. Seventy Nine dollars and Ten cents if the one month service (certainly performed altho not proved) is allow is not allow?
I only ask for so much as you are satisfied is rendered, and as far as the Comptrollers Certificate proves, I should suppose there could be no doubt, and if no more can be allowed please to send a Certificate for the $29.10.
