That she is the widow of Philip Hubbart, who was a soldier in the Army of the Revolution. That the said Philip enlisted as a Private in the Regiment commanded by Colonel Heman Swift in the Continental Line. She recollects perfectly well that he served in Colonel Swift's Regiment. but, although, during the time he was in the service, she frequently heard him state the name of his Captain, she cannot at this distance of time recollect the name of the said Captain. said Philip enlisted in the spring of the year either in 1780, or 1781, and believes, it was in 1780, but is not confident. She and her said Husband, resided in Fairfield in said State of Connecticut, at the time of his enlistment, and were keeping house. One day he was absent, returned home in the evening, and said to me that he had enlisted as a Soldier. Shortly afterwards

and within a few days, he carried me to Reading in said county, where I had resided previously to our marriage; where he left me and proceeded immediately to join the Army - I cannot recall the the month in which he enlisted, but believe it was in April or May - After he do enlisted, the said Philip remained in the Service until the end of the War - and during all that time I resided at said Reading - During the period of his service, the said Philip frequently came to said Reading on furlough - He was a Hatter by trade, and informed me, that he was often employed in dressing the officers hats. The said Philip was a colored man. After his discharge, he returned to said Reading, where we continued to reside until his death, as herein after mentioned. She further states, that said Philip usually spelled his name Hubbard, but was often called Hubbard. That her maiden name was Morehouse, and that she is sometimes called Lubritia, and sometimes Amarillis.
She further declares that she was married to the said Philip Hubbard at said Fairfield on the 21 st day of February 1780 - They were joined in marriage, by the Rev. Andrew Elliot then a Congregational Clergyman, at said Fairfield, by whom a record of said marriage was made, as appears by the affidavit of Lyman H. Wheeler herunto annexed. That her husband, the aforesaid Philip Hubbard, died on the 6 th day of August, in the year Eighteen hundred and ten.

and that she has remained a widow ever since that period and will more fully appear by reference to the proof hereto annexed -
