State of Ohio County of Union
on this eighteenth day of September one thousand eight hundred and thirty two personally appeared in open court before his honor Frederick Brumfield and his associate Judges of the Court of Common Pleas now sitting Oziias Hebard a resident of Union Allen Township in the County of Union and State of Ohio aged 69 years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7. 1832
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated 1778 under Capt Eleazer Huntington Colonel Thomas Brown Major Abbott I believe. entered as a substitute for Gideon Hebard of Windham Connecticut where this applicant then resided in the latter part of August aforesaid year March through Franklin Noitch and Mohegan an indian town so to New London remained there about ten days then March to Fort Griswold and remained there about two months in all. No Continental Regiments or continental companies there then Capt Nathan commanded a company of State soldiers at Griswold Capt Eleazer Huntington's company was then dismissed he received no documentary discharge and he knows no person who can testify to this tour of service now living. Again entered the service at the in June 1779 as a substitute for his Brother Ahimaas Hebard under Nehemiah Tinker Capt Lieut Hubter ensign Baker. Colonel Experience Storer. Marched from Windham as the rear before as above to New London Barracked near Fort Griswold at Granby. Colonel McLean commanded a regiment of Connecticut State troops at this time in New London he was out about two months

In _____ of the year 1781. I belonged to the company Captain William Young's company at Windham in the state of Connecticut in that state militia, was under the command of the same Colonel as I first served as substitute, Col. Experience Stores. When the alarms guns were fired at the time Fort Griswold was taken at New London burnt by the British under the command of Genl. Arnold, the whole company was called out to go to Fort Griswold with whom I went on the same road as before stated - When I arrived at the Fort I found that the enemy had left it, abandoned the town and reembarked aboard of their fleet which was lying in the river. At this time I served about ten or fourteen days when we all returned to our homes.
In the year 1782. I was drafted out of the company of Capt. William Young and I was told at the time it was for one year. In June or July of that year after I was drafted I was called upon to enter the service. We rendezvoused and entered the company to which I was attached at New London. The Captain under whom I served this tour was an old man and was but very little time with the company. I do not distinctly recollect his name but believe it to be Capt. Newton. There was no other commissioned officer in the company except our Ensign who was then a very young man, Zephaniah Swift who afterwards became a judge of the Supreme Court of Connecticut. At this time I served at New London before I was discharged two months and a third of a month. This service was rendered at Ft. Trumbull which as well as Fort Griswold was under the command of Col. McClure McBell.
I never received a written discharge from any one of these services. At that time it was not customary to give any to the Militia. During these several terms of service I rendered at least seven months service to my country. I cannot recollect time or date more distinctly. I was born at Windham in Connecticut on the first day of December in the year 1763. I have a family record at home which I have copied from one of my father which extends back to my Great-Grand- father which contains the birth and death of all my family. I have no other evidence of my services. I have no documentary evidence on any person living to prove my services. Since the revolution lived at Windham Conn until December 1819. When I came to my present residence.

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims , of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Ozias Hubbard which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? Yes II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? Yes III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so? IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? Yes V. * Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled? Yes VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? Yes VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? Yes VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? Yes IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? Yes X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal? Yes

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? Yes XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it? XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had? Yes XIV. † If the applicant's name is not found on the rolls of military service, has he produced a witness or witnesses as to his service? If he has produced direct proof as to service, has the magistrate who administered the oath, certified to the credibility of the witness or witnesses? Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the regulations direct? XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service? XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? Yes XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered?
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____ For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
†QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
‡QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
¶ In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

Dear Sir:—
I have been referred to you for information concerning a Revolutionary War soldier.
I am interested in placing a marker at the grave of one —
Ozias Hebard [spelled by some Hibbard, and by others Hebbard] whose early home was at Windom, Windom Co., Conn. He may have been living in N. H. however at the time he entered the army. He served as a substitute for his brother Paul who had a family depending upon him. Ozias was a youth of 14 years.
At the death of Ozias Hebard his widow Mary Hebard received a pension $20 00 annually for several years as I remember. The application for this pension was made at Bellfontaine or West Liberty, Ohio.

I do not remember the name of Ozias Hubbard's commander. I do not know the date of his enlistment. If the records of this Dept contain any information of Ozias Hubbard, I shall be exceedingly glad to receive the same.
Ozias Hubbard is the only Revolutionary soldier buried in the beautiful little cemetery at Milford Center Ohio.
Old friends and relatives are anxious to place a marker at his unmarked grave. I am his granddaughter. Thanking you in advance for your kindness I am
Very respectfully Mrs Ida Rose Benham 72 West Main St., Wabash, Indiana.
