I have been pastor of the Congregational Church Society in Roxbury since June 1839 & am now pastor thereof Sometime after my settlement a small book was handed me of original Entries & Entries in the hand writing of the Rev Thomas Linsley who was pastor of said Church from the year 1746 to 1795. This book contains serious entries of Births deaths marriages & hence I move need for preaching & other matters.
After a careful examination of said book I find no entry of the marriage of Philo Hugg to Lucy Newton and certain no such entry is in said book. I find this Entry June 3 1789 "The Minor to Susannah Fiske" inside the head of "couples married" there

mered such examination of this Record that I am certain no entry of said meetings exists in it. None of no other entries or memorandums in this subject

I, Philo Hodge of Norbury in Litchfield county and State of Connecticut On Oath Declare and Say That I was Born in west haven my father Wm Hodge was a poor But in dutrous mechanic. I was put out to Joseph Whitmore as an apprentice in old Milford where I continued till I was eighteen years of age or the beginning of the revolutionary war. in April 75 there was an alarm in Milford. colonel Smith and Mayor Pitcairn were sent from Boston to Concord to ay together some stones. I then insisted to go to Boston and started on the march But we had counter orders and re- turned home. in may following I was about to in- list into Capt Samuel Peck's company to go to the northward But By the intreaties of my master and Parents I did not. in December following I enlisted in to Capt Peter Purn's company to go to Boston in Colonel Charles Webb's Regt for one year where I filed the Rank of a soldier to the years end and was honorably discharged By the colonel which discharge I have since lost. we marched for Boston in Jan 76 we arrived at Norbury near Boston in the same month where we in camped till about the first of march when orders were given to drive the British from Boston I marched in the first division in the night on to Dorchester's point where we were warmly received By the enemys shots from the town But I continued to my post till the enemy left the town we then marched for New Boston and there took shipping for New York and arrived there about the fifteenth or twentieth of the same month where I staid till I was discharged I work- ed through the summer at different fortification in and about the city towards the close of my

time I was taken with the camp distemper and after my discharge could hardly get home to Milford as soon as I recovered my health in Jan 44 I enlisted into Capt Benjamin Wines Company for three months in Col. Nelsons Co. Regt and again marched for Winchester County State of New York in this tour of duty we suffered every hard thing that could be induced from the deficiency of our clothing in clemency of the weather and scarcity of provisions we marched from place to place through the winter and had one small but severe engagement on Valentines Hill after the expiration of the three months I was again discharged and returned to Milford. When the enemy burnt Danbury in Connecticut I volunteered in Capt Samuel Dyer's Militia Company and was engaged with the enemy from Ridgefield to Comptahill or till they got on board of their shipping. The hard things I endured in the years service in Boston and New York and in the three months tour together with the sick mess in New York broke my constitution and rendered me unfit for the camp, but notwithstanding this I was clared in a class of size and weight man during the war which took all the money I had got in the two campaigns before to pay my proportion. My honored Father was killed in a militia tour at Binham Bridge by Major Banemores men my poor mother got nothing from her country. I have not been able to do hard labor since the war I am very poor and many times am without out bread and meat I am broken down with old age and infirmities and should my country bestow any thing

these Bounty cannot last longer. The above Regiments I enlisted into commanded by Col. Charles Webb & Col. Thos. Lock were raised by a requisition of the Congress of the United States and further say not.
