State of Vermont District of Washington Washington County
On this 18 th day of December A.D. 1839 personally appeared before the Probate Court for the district of Washington aforesaid Martha Haseltine a resident of Moretown in said county and state aged sixty six 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. 1838 "entitled an act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows". That she is the widow of Joseph Haseltine, who was a private soldier in the army of the revolution. That he went out the first time as a substitute for his father, Amos Haseltine, who was drafted to serve in the militia from the town of Lenoxburgh in the state of Massachusetts, where the said Joseph and the said Amos then resided, and served three months in the army stationed in the vicinity of Boston, and the time of this service was, to her best recollection the first year of the war. That that the said Joseph was again called out, as she believes, the following year to serve in the militia from the same town and served three months more, but whether he served in Massachusetts, or in other states, she cannot say. And the said Martha further declares that her husband, the said Joseph, was out again, probably in the militia, three months more and was in the army that took General Burgoyne. was taken sick as the army was going into battle at Stillwater but did his best to keep along with his company, but was ordered back by his Captain, when he was compelled by weakness to crawl on his hands and knees till he reached the barracks, when he had a fit of sickness which lasted till after Burgoyne had surrendered. When he was discharged on account of his weak state of health and was carried home by his brother, Mark - ing nine months or nearly so, of actual service in the army. This she knows from the repeated declarations of her said husband and from the statements also of her said husband's brothers, five of whom were also out in the revolution. But through infirmities and consequent loss of memory, she cannot certainly say what were the names of his Captain or colonel, but during the last period of service, when he was at Stillwater, she thinks he was in Captain Fuller's company. She also declares that all her said husband's brothers who were out in the revolution and others from whom where she learned the above particulars

are now dead - That her husband never drew a pension or applied therefor.
She further declares that she was married to the said Joseph Haseltine on the 20 th of March 1793, and that the said Joseph died on the 10 th day of April 1828 - That she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but her marriage took place previous to the first of January 1794, viz. at the time above stated, & that she has remained a widow (Martha Haseltine) ever since the death of said Joseph Haseltine.
Sworn to and subscribed on the day and year above written.

Will you kindly assist me in verifying my claim to being a D.A.R. by looking up concerning Jos. Hazelton also spelled " time ."
He was a revolutionary soldier, died in Apr. 1828 and his widow Martha Knapp who died in Dec. 1857 was a pensioner.
We are uncertain which N.E. state he enlisted from N.H., Vt., or Mass. but the widow lived in Vt.

My Dear Sir
I herewith forward the papers of Mrs Martha Haseltine for a Pension under the act of 1838; She informs me that her application is pending, and that evidence of service was required, I have sent her application for proof of service to the Secy of Massachusetts and he finds service to the amt. of 10 Mos. 24 days, I think there cannot be any doubt but what the service found is the service of Mrs Haseltine's husband Capt David Jewett went from the town of Lancaster Mass, which lies between the towns of Lunenburg & Bolton Spent Longley was a Pensioner & died in Bolton Mass in 1842
She could not be supposed to know certain under whom he served, as she recollects from the anecdotes she has heard him relate about his services

State of Vermont County of Washington Town of Dixbury
The Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is hereby requested to furnish evidence from the Rolls in his Office of the Service in the Revolution of my late Husband Joseph Naseltine he enlisted from the Town of Linsburg in the County of Worcester in the State of Massachusetts in the year 1775 and served four months he again enlisted in the year 1776 and served three months he again enlisted in the year 1777 and served three months previous to the Surrender of Burgoyne, some of his Service I think was in the company commanded by Captain Fuller & in a company in which one Stiles was Lieut. Stiles was a recruiting officers & may he enlist- ed my husband once - I think he served under Capt Pope at Dorchester Massachusetts during one period of his Service. I have heard him speak of Captain Davis and Capt Carlisle but am not certain that he served under them I think he served under Col. Whitney part of the time, my late Husband Joseph Naseltine resided at said Linsburg during the whole term of the Revolution. I am now 70 years old and my memory does not enable me to state more fully than above the service of my late Husband Joseph Naseltine - and I do hereby constitute Stephen Thomas of West Fairlee Vermont my attorney in the premises.

My dear Sir,
I herewith transmit some additional evidence in the case of Mrs Martha Hazeltine which I trust you will deem satisfactory: I think the affidavits which I first forwarded & those which I now forward would establish the marriage in 1793 to the satisfaction of any Court of law in Christendom & I am informed that the Mother (who was present at the Marriage) of Mrs Hazeltine made affidavit & that it is before the department. You will see that there is a combination of circumstances in Judda Hazeltine's affidavit from which she could not be mistaken; if they are not correct, she must be guilty of willful perjury. I think the additional affidavit of Abigail Hazeltine gives a definite reason for recollecting; as did that of Anna Mansaw, could she not be supposed to recollect that she returned from Connecticut to Vt. in 1793 as she states & that Joseph Hazeltine had been previously married. — The circumstances detailed in Ebenezer Goss's affidavit I think are strong; that he cannot be mistaken about them; would not have most invariably recollect the time of their going into a new Country & purchasing a farm to settle upon for life!
You will please to communicate with me at West Fairlee Vt. after you have examined the evidence.
I am very respectfully Your Ob. Servt Stephen Thomas

I Ebenezer Coss of Duxbury in the County of Washington and State of Vermont aged Seventy four years do depone testify and say That in the Summer of Seventeen hundred and ninety two I made a Journey into and passed through Vermont up the Connecticut River as far as White River and passed up the said White River and crossed the high lands to the head of a Stream of Water called Mad River & down said Stream or River to the Onion River and down said Onion River to the Town of Duxbury where I remained several days and during my stay I looked at different pieces of land with a view to locate myself and so far contracted for the lot of land where I now live that I could have it should I conclude to settle in Vermont and I then passed down said River to Burlington and then returned to my home in Greenfield Massachusetts and in the year following in the Spring of said year I made up my mind to remove and settle in Vermont and when I started from Greenfield it was the last days of September and when I arrived at Duxbury it was the first days of October Seventeen hundred and ninety three And why I am thus confident is that it was the September and October next following the adoption of the Constitution of the state of Vermont as revised by the Council of Censors in A.D. 1792 and adopted by a convention assembled at Windsor on the 4 th day of July A.D. 1793 and still farther why I am confirmed in my belief as to this being the correct date the man of whom I purchased my land of was one of the delegates to said convention at Windsor and after the close of the Convention he went to Massachusetts to visit his friends being the towns of Charlemont & Shelburne which said Shelburne joined Greenfield and was taken sick whilst there and was not able to return till the date above named when I returned with him to Duxbury and closed the bargain for and took possession of the land and being the

same farm where I now live and Immediately on my arriving at said Duxbury I became acquainted with Joseph Harettin and Martha Harettin his wife as I was supposed for they were living together as man and wife & continued to live together in the relation of husband and wife until the death of the said Joseph and that their residence was within one mile of my farm and that the said Martha still continues the Widow of the said Joseph and is now living and residing in said Duxbury And do further say that the said Joseph Harettin and his Wife the said Martha Harettin were both Respectable and reputable persons and that the said Joseph was frequently elected representative of said Town and that I have no doubt but what they were married as alleged by the said Martha and I have never heard a doubt raised as to their having been married prior to my arriving in said Duxbury in 1793.
