State of New York
Niagara County p: On this 18 th day of May 1841 personally appeared before me Levi F. Barden Esq. one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the County of Niagara. Elizabeth Hubbard a resident of the Town of Lockport in the County of Niagara aged seventy eight 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 th 1838 entitled "an act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows" That she is a widow of Jacob Hubbard who was a private in the revolutionary army in the revolutionary war between the United States and Great Britain, and who before his death obtained and drew a pension up to the time of his death. This declarant frequently saw his pension warrant, but after his death the same was delivered to the Administrator of his estate as she believes, and that the same has been lost or returned to the pension office at all events declarant can not find it - Declarant further states that she has been informed by her said husband and believes and aside from which information she has no other knowledge that said Jacob was an enlisted or volunteer soldier in the said army But she cannot now remember though she believes she was informed by her said husband during his life time, when he entered the service or when he left, or whether he was in any battles or through what countries he marched. She believes she was informed by her said husband that he was in the army under only one engagement or enlistment Nor does declarant now remember what State or country her said husband resided in when he entered the army, declarant has no documentary evidence in her possession in support of her claim. And she further declares that she was married to the said Jacob Hubbard on the 6 th day of November 1792 in the State of Vermont in the Town of Newbury - by the Rev Mr Lambert - who she is informed is since dead, that none of the persons who were present and witnessed her said marriage are now living. That she employed J. Hester Esq. to write and make inquiry in said Town of Newbury whether there is any existing town county or church record of her said mar-

riage, and that she has been informed by said deponent that no such record exists, and that the only proof she has of such marriage besides her own oath is the family record herewith annexed taken out of the family bible belonging to her said husband and which is now in the possession of this declarant and has been ever since her said husband's death, and which said record she has caused to be cut out of said bible and are hereunto annexed - and declarant says that said marriage record is in the handwriting of her said husband Jacob Hibbard and that the entry and record of said marriage was so made by her said husband thirty years ago, in the presence of declarant, that the record of births herewith annexed was also made by said Jacob Hibbard - and the record of deaths annexed was entered a part by her said husband & a part by Ebenezer Salton a brother of declarant who is now dead -
and declarant further says that her said husband Jacob died on the twenty fourth day of February 1823, that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but that said marriage took place previous to the fifth day of January 1794, to wit on the day and year above stated.
Elizabeth H. Salton
State of New York Niagara County ss: I Levi H. Beman one of the judges of the court of common pleas do hereby certify that on the 18 th day of May 1841 I went to the residence of said Elizabeth Hibbard to me known to be the person who signed the above declaration and that after the above declaration was read over to said Elizabeth in my presence she signed and was duly sworn by me to the truth of the same, and I further certify that the said family record was in my presence taken or cut out of the family bible and attached to the annexed declaration - and I further certify that said Elizabeth Hibbard by reason of bodily infirmities was unable

to appear before the said court of common Pleas of said county and owing to her extreme age and bodily infirmity there was no probability that she will be able to appear before said court at its next term which will be on the first Monday of June next. And I further certify that from the general reputation of said Elizabeth she is entitled to implicit confidence & belief.

That said Isaac was a pensioner at the time of his death, and deponent has frequently seen his pension warrant and knew of his drawing money thereon - and deponent further says that as long ago as he can recollect the said bible was owned and kept by his father, and that since the death of his said father, the same has been in possession of his said mother who since her said husband's death has chiefly resided with this deponent and in deponent's family and deponent says that from his earliest recollection he recollects said record of marriage in said bible & now hereunto annexed. That from deponent's knowledge of his said father's hand writing and deponent knowing it well having frequently seen him write, deponent has no doubt but the said record of marriage is in the hand writing of his said father - and further this deponent saith not.

For Sir - Elizabeth Hibbard widow of Jacob Hibbard has applied to me to obtain her pension under the act of Congress of 1838. Her husband was a pensioner and drew his pension for some time - he died Febry 1823 - but the widow has not his pension warrant. She says the administrator took it & it is lost - you have the record of his warrant - Shall I trouble you to ascertain from the record the date of his pension warrant & no. & also the amount of pension - And I shall be much obliged if you will send to me the form of the application for a widows pension under the act of 1838 - & the rules applicable to that act - Suppose the applicant has no marriage certificate and there are no witnesses of her marriage living - can the marriage be proved by those who knew her in the time of her & her husband Jacob Hibbard & who can testify they lived together as husband and wife a series of years until his death?
As the marriage in this case took place in Vermont I am in hopes to get a record of the marriage - Please answer as soon as convenient & much oblige yours &c
