State of Conn 5 , County of New Haven ss. N.H. Co. Court.
On this 15 th day of December 1829 personally appeared in open court, the same being a Court of record, to wit, the County Court for the County of New Haven Hezekiah Hine resident in Waterbury in said County, aged sixty seven years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the provisions made by the acts of the 18 th of March 1818 the first of May 1820, and the first of March 1823 - That he the said Hine enlisted for the term of three years on the 9 th day of September in the year 1777 in the State of Connecticut in the company commanded by Captain Daniel Pendleton in the regiment commanded by Colonel Jonathan Baldwin in the line of the State of Connecticut on the continental establishment; that he continued to serve in the corps until on or about the 9 th of September in the year 1780 when he was discharged from said service in Hackensack in the State of New Jersey. And I do solemnly swear, that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the eighteenth of March eighteen hundred & eighteen, and that I have not since that time, by gift, sale, or otherwise

or in any manner disposed of my property or any part thereof, with intent, thereby, so to diminish it 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 18 th day of March, 1818, 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. That, since the exhibition of my first schedule, the following changes have been made in my property a copy of the original deed of the real estate sold being herewith annexed:
   Names of the persons to whom sold Time of sale Amount of money, or description of property received in return     W m H. Hine 10 th May 1823.  Six hundred & thirty Dollars -  The above purchase money was applied in payment of debts due by me at the time of the sale of the land and is now wholly paid out and nothing left, the land having been by me sold for the purpose of paying debts which debts are, as follows:  One note paid Jonathan Scott the principal being $17.50 and dated June 22 d 1822 - $17.50   

  Note to W m H. Hine dated June 1 st 1818 - - - - -  274,96    One other note to W m H. Hine dated 1 st June 1818 - - -  211.96    Note to Kimrod Hull dated April 30 th 1823 - - - -  14.97    Note to Jonathan Scott dated April 14 th 1821 - - -  55.00    Note to Elijah Kettleton date March 17 th 1817 - - -  70.76     $644.95  
The whole of the purchase money for the land and something more, as will be seen by the foregoing exhibit has thus been disposed of and paid away for the payment of debts, which debts I on oath depose & say were all bona fide and due from me till paid on good and valuable consideration.
The Declarant further deposes and says that his occupation is (or rather was) that of a carpenter or joiner, but having been for some years, and now being in feeble health and labouring under great bodily infirmity, he has not been for some years past, and is not now able to work, or in any manner to pursue his trade or occupation, and is not able to support himself without relief from his country or from private charity, and I further depose and say that I have in my family residing with me my wife aged 63 years who is a very feeble and infirm woman and incapable of supporting herself, which is all the family I have.

Dear Sirs,
One Hezekiah Hine of Connecticut drew a pension for Revolutionary service in the Connecticut line. May I ask what these services were? I do not care about the presence or absence of family data, but only for his war record. (He lists his services mixed up I think with those of his father who died before the pension time.) Very sincerely,
(Miss) Helen E. Jacoby
