That she is the widow of Jesse Hayward, late of Wallingford in said County of Rutland, deceased, — — — who was a private, and a corporal in the Massachusetts troops of the American Army of the Revolution, and served, as she is informed and verily believes, the following terms, to wit: Sometime in the month of June, 1776, at Chelmsford in the County of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, in which town he then resided, he enlisted as a private for the term of six months, in the Company commanded by Capt. — Ford, whose christian name she has understood to be, but does not know, was John. This service was performed in an expedition to Ticonderoga; an imperfect journal of which, made by the said Jesse Hayward at the time, is herunto attached as evidence of his said service. She does not know to what Regiment the said Company belonged during the said term of service.
She further declares, that the said Jesse Hayward served as a corporal for the term of six months, at least, in Capt. Joshua Parker's Company in Col. John Robinson's Regiment of Massachusetts troops, in the expedition to Rhode Island in the year 1777; for proof of which she refers to the accompanying depositions of Josiah Fletcher, and John Crosby, and, also, to the said Journal. And she believes that the said Jesse Hayward continued in the said service in Rhode Island, until, and probably after the month of August, 1778; as she finds

finds a memorandum made by him on the said Journal under date of the 6th of that month. And for further proof of said services she hereby refers to such Rolls, and other military documents of Massachusetts, relating to said war, as may be now remaining in the War Office of the United States.
She further declares, that she was married to the said Jesse Hayward, on the twenty eighth day of November, in the year seventeen hundred and eighty two; that her husband, the aforesaid Jesse Hayward died on the twenty fifth day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty, — ; that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the first of January, seventeen hundred and ninety- four, viz: at the time above stated.

I further depose and say, as to the journal referred to by the said Sarah, attached to her said declaration, that I know the said book to be the same book which I have often seen in the hands of the said Jesse in his life time, & have often heard him read parts of the same relating to his services in the revolutionary war; and know it to be the same book whose contents relating to his said services I have often heard him say were written by him while in said service. I have frequently heard him relate his war storys, but am unable to recollect the amount or duration of any particular term. And further this affiant saith not.
