In the case of Lucy Granger, widow of Moses Granger for Pension under the act of July 4th 1836, the marriage has been admitted.
The claim was presented in July of 1849.
The evidence adduced shows that Moses Granger the former husband of this widow died in 1833.
That during the War of the Revolution he lived in Suffield in the State of Connecticut from whence he entered the service and served on different terms of service during the Revolutionary War.
The evidence of five of his fellow soldiers has already been presented proving that he served on two different enlistments of one year each with them.
Three of these witnesses viz: Samuel Woodworth, John Pettengill & Ephraim Wright, served in the same Battalion with Granger from March of 1781 to March of 1782, and were with him & fought with him in the Battle on Froggy Point. This service was for the period of one year.
Jeremiah Gifford and Billings Woodard were fellow soldiers with Granger for a period of one year from March of 1782 to March of 1783, at Horse Neck in the State of Connecticut.
These soldiers  soldiers were called the State Troops of Connecticut and were raised by yearly enlistments.
An additional affidavit of Caleb Whipple is now is now presented showing and proving the same facts. Whipple was a fellow soldier with Granger. There are now six affidavits presented in this claim of fellow soldiers of Granger, all of whom are Pensioners for this service. Men of truth, and of good standing, substantial, credible and good citizens, and the proof now presented in this claim is abundant.

In December last the afft. of Ephraim Wright was presented in this claim, but no report has been received, upon this afft.
It appears from the proof that the widow is entitled to Pension for two years service rendered with the state troops of Connecticut from March 1781 to March 1782, and from March of 1782 to March of 1783, under the act of July 4th, 1836.
As she is very aged and infirm it is hoped that her pension may be immediately allowed her in order that she may enjoy the benefit designed by the law.
