Declaration of Lucy Hinman , in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress, of the 7th July, 1838, entitled "An Act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows!"
State of New York, } ss. County of Senesee, }
On this 15 th day of September, 1838, before me, Rufus H. Smith, one of the Judges, in and for the County aforesaid, personally appeared Lucy Hinman, a resident of the town of Warsaw, in said County, aged seventy-five years, who being 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 Lewis Hinman, who was a private and sergeant in the army of the Revolution, and to the best of her knowledge and belief served as follows: —
1. In the year 1775, he enlisted, at the town of Goshen, in the state of Connecticut, where he then resided, into the revolutionary army, for five years, and served as a private about three years, when he was discharged on account of ill health; — She is unable to recollect (the names of any) of the officers under whom he served; — She recollects hearing her said husband mention Stratford, in the state of Connecticut, as one of the places where he was stationed during

some of the aforesaid service; — but the principal part of the time, he was at the northern posts, and in their vicinity; — He was at the capture of Burgoyne at Saratoga, in 1777, as she has often heard him relate. She has no documentary evidence of the service of said Lewis, and knows of no person by whom the service before stated can be proved, or the names of the officers ascertained.
2. Early in the spring of 1782, she enlisted at Cambridge, Washington County, in the State of New York, into a company commanded by Lieutenant John Henderson, for nine months; soon after the enlistment of the said Lewis Hinman, as aforesaid, he was appointed a sergeant in said company, and after being engaged, in a scouting expedition about four weeks, the said company was stationed at Salem, in said County of Washington, where he continued during the remainder of the term for which he enlisted. While stationed at Salem, he performed the duty of steward in said company. The said Lewis, boarded at the house of this declarant's father, at the time of his (the said Lewis') enlistment as aforesaid and she recollects distinctly the time, and circumstances of his enlistment; saw him several times when he came home from Salem to Cambridge, on leave of absence; and also saw him on his return, after being discharged, at the expiration of the nine months service. She thinks that Lieut. Henderson was the highest officer in command at Salem, aforesaid.

She further declares that she was married to the said Lewis Hinman, on the twenty-fifth day of February, in the year Seventeen hundred and eighty-three, at Cambridge, before mentioned, by — Younglove, Esq.; — and that her husband, the aforesaid Lewis Hinman, died on the seventeenth day of April, in the year one thousand eight hundred and seven, at Whitehall, in the County of Washington, aforesaid; — that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the first day of January, Seventeen hundred and ninety-four, viz: at the time above stated; — And that she does not know of any living witness by which said marriage can be proved.
She further declares that she has now, and has had for a number of years, in her possession, a family record, in which the time when she was married as aforesaid, is recorded; and that said record is on a leaf of her family bible.

Dear Sir:-
I am very anxious to learn all I can of the war service of Lewis Himmann. I know he enlisted in the Revolutionary war Feb. 2 nd as 1774 in Capt. Luther Studdards Company, in Col. Chas. Barralls Battalion, the company was recruited at Caanan, Conn.
I also know the wife of Lewis Himmann received a pension because her husband was in the Revolutionary war, but do not know whether it is the same Lewis Himmann. Lewis Himmann's wife died in 1840.
Can you give me the name

of Lewis Himmann's wife, also his father's and mother's name, from what place he enlisted, how long he was in the service, whether an officer or not.
In whose company he enlisted and when he enlisted, and any other information. If you cannot give me this information will you kindly tell me, to whom to write for this.
and greatly oblige.
Yours truly,
Mrs. A. D. Perkins.

Dear Sir
I find in my Certificate embracing Capt. Titus Watson's Account that the date commenced in 1777. It appears by the records in this Office that Capt. Titus Watson belonged to Col. Swift's Regiment in 1777. On further examination I find by the Waste Book found in this Office - the following Account - Capt. Titus Watson Col. Chas. Burrill's Regiment for Items for his Company -
July 24 1776 Aug 10 Quarters 10 Sept 10 Reg't 28 Sept 10 Batts 2/6 £ 35.0.0 And in the Pay Table Book Col. Charles Burrill's Regiment raised Aug 1776 for one year to serve in Canada and for resolution of Congress Aug 2 1776 - In the Council of Safety under date of Aug 31 1776 - "Resolved that Mr. Adonaiah Strong of P'keepsie be and he is hereby appointed and directed to make necessary Provisions upon the best terms he can for Quarters necessary as are requisite for the March of the Regiment raising under the Command of Col. Chas. Burrill for the relief of the Continental Army in Canada that is to pay for their March as far as Albany."
Thus you see by the Account above that Capt. Titus Watson was in Col. Chas. Burrill's Regiment July 24 1776 that Regiment was raised for the relief of the Army in Canada and marched as far as Albany - whether they proceeded into Canada or not I am not advised. Capt. John Watson went to the Southwards in 1778 attached to General Mott's or Hiram's Regiment - A list of the discharges of those Regiments by Gen. Schuyler in 1778 was enrolled in this Office - the name of Lewis Heman is not among them -

Yours Respectfully Henry Pillsbury Compt.

Perry, Genesee Co. N.Y. January 3, 1840.
Sir,
The Comptroller of Connecticut has furnished the additional evidence, herein enclosed, in support of the claim of Mrs. Lucy Hinman. In your letter of the 9th November last, it is stated that discharges would be found in the Office of the Comptroller of Connecticut, of all the men enlisted there, engaged in the Northern campaign of 1775-6, signed by Genl. Schuyler or Richard Varick. The evidence of the Comptroller was requested in relation to these discharges. It will be perceived that he states that there is a list of the discharged of those who served in Capt. John Watson's Company, in Col. Wooster's or Hinman's Regiment, enrolled in his office, but that no mention is made of the existence of any evidence in relation to the discharge of those who served in Capt. Titus Watson's Company, in Col. Burrell's Regiment, in 1776. The letter herein enclosed, written by Julius Beach, whose deposition in this case, is on file in the Pension Office, will show, that the service of Lewis Hinman, described by the petition, is fully corroborated by the additional evidence, furnished by the Comptroller of Connecticut, herein enclosed. The letter of Mr. Beach is not designed as evidence, but as it contains information, not embodied in his deposition, it may be useful in the investigation of the case.

I also enclose a Certificate of the Comptroller of the State of New York, of the evidence found in his office relative to the service of the claimant's husband in this State.
I am very respectfully,

Your letter of the 24th inst. refers Mrs. Lucy Hinman, to the Comptroller of Connecticut for proof of the service of her late husband, Mr. Lewis Hinman.

To enable her to do so, she desires that you will return the two depositions taken in Connecticut, which accompanied her declaration, or have the goodness to give the names of the officers under whom it is stated, in said depositions, that Mr. Hinman served, and the time when he entered the service.

Watson speak of Hinman as being a good soldier. My mother was a sister of Capt. Watson. The said Hinman en- -listed at in February 1776. to go to Quebec I have no doubt. He served out the full time of his enlistment.
