John Stark in the line of the State of New- Hampshire on the continental establishment, that he continued to serve in the service until the first of January 1777 when he was discharged from the said service in Mount Independence near Lake Champlain in the State of Vermont. I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the eighteenth of March eighteen hundred and eighteen and that I have not since that time by gift sale or in any manner disposed of my property or any part thereof with intent thereby so to diminish it as to bring my- self within the provisions of an act of Congress entitled "an act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary war" passed on the 18. day of March 1818 and that I have not now has any person in trust for me any property or securities, contracts or debts due to me, nor have I any income other than what is con-

in the schedule hereto annexed and by me subscribed. viz. one saddle set, one damaged dung fork, 2 pitch forks, 2 axes, 6 shovels 14 hoes, 1 shovel, 1 fork, 12 plates, 4 cups and saucers, one hammer, 2 cooking pots, 2 tables, one pair of steel yards, 5 iron candle sticks, one tin oven, one brass kettle, 2 iron kettles, one dinner bell, one brass pan, 1 tin kettle, 1 pot, 1 bag $1.00 one wash tub, 2 warming pans, 1 light stand, shovel and tongs $1.75, 2 Barrels, 2 meat barrels, 1 Hog, one chest of drawers, 1 plan comb, sundry articles $1.50, 1 harrow, 1 plough, chains $1.50 1 yoke and irons, 2 sickles, one pair of audisons, 1 old side saddle - I am by occupation a farmer unable to do much labour by reason of a break.

Heprinah Hallz Deparition —

I Repribah Hall of Freizburgh in the County of Orleans & State of Vermont of lawful age depose and say that previous to the year 1820. I had accumulated a small property by my labours principally at which time my Father Simd. Hall was bound to a large amount for the firm of A. Mos & C. Halls & Co, which firm failed & became bankrupt & the said Simd. Halls property was taken to satisfy said claims & him self imprisoned. He and my Mother being aged & infirm it became necessary that I should assist them with what property I possessed as well as with my labour for which I received as compensation about $500. out of sundry demands collected and paid over to me in the years 1820 & 1821 - which property I vested in a small piece of land and small house except about $100. which was principally in cattle and has been consumed in supporting the family & paying debts contracted for their & my own support; The house I now live in with my Father & Mother I still owe something for the situation & it is mortgaged to secure the payment.
I further testify and say that my Brother who assisted my Father & had charge principally of his business at the time he first applied for a pension & for some time afterwards; has since left this country and settled in the State of Kentucky and I verily believe that some of his papers have been mislaid or lost in consequence of his removal & further this deponent saith not -

Deposition of Ebenezer Hull

D. Salmao Nye of Brattleboro in the County of Orleans and State of Vermont of lawful age depose, testify and say; That I have for some time been acquainted with Mr. Simo Hall now of Brattleboro aforesaid have lived near him during his residence in this town which according to the best of my recollection is about five years and have done some business for him and frequently had occasion to examine his papers and to enquire particularly into his pecuniary circumstances, and verily believe him to be poor and necessitous and in need of the assistance of his country; that he is a very industrious man for one of his years; and to the best of my knowledge prudent and honest. That in my belief he has not been reduced to his present poverty by any dishonesty, or imprudence, of his own other than his connection with his sons, for whom he was bound in large sums & they having failed in trade and become bankrupt. I have removed to the south or western section of the Union. as I have good reason to believe; that the said Simo Hall has for a long time been confined to the limits of the prison in this town for a debt which I believe he is unable to pay - that he is dependent for his support, on his ability labour and the assistance of his friends - that in my belief he has placed too much confidence in his sons, entrusted them too far in the management of his pecuniary affairs; that it does not appear to me very singular that he cannot at his advanced age under the circumstances at present render a very satisfactory account of the loss and expenditure of each article of his property; that in case of sickness or other inability the said Simo Hall would be dependent on the assistance of his friends and the publick for support; and further this deponent saith not.

P. Coffin
Hon. John Mattocks
Member of Congress in case of his absence
Hon. Secretary of War Washington City

Sturminster Newton Feb. 19 th 1827-
Hon. John Mattocks, Sir,
I feel some anxiety that Mr. Sim- Hall should obtain his pension this is not a little heightened when I see him braving the inclemency of our northern climate day after day toiling in the field to procure a subsistence for himself and wife. - I often see him abroad encountering the bleak North storm which mingles with his locks sleet and hail scarcely whiter than the locks themselves. I find few if any pensioners in the circle of my acquaintance who I consider better intitled to the small compensation allotted by Government to the revolutionary soldier than Mr. Hall not only an account of his character for industry and economy but also his poverty; while on the other hand I find several whose circumstances and means of support would be far better even without their pension - nor is he better able to bear up under his misfor- tunes from the circumstance of once having had property, he must necessarily be deprived of many of the comforts (not to say luxuries) of life which he once enjoyed, and which age and infirmity stren- gthened by habit render doubly necessary. - I had charitably hoped that his case had so far been made out last year as to con- vince the Hon. Secretary that he was intitled to be restored to the pension list; but I had perhaps considered the evidence in the case as going farther than in fact it did on account of my own per- sonal knowledge; still I believe a short explanation may be neces- sary and perhaps of service to the applicant - In the letter of 21 st of April last from the pension office are these words "The claimant transferred to his daughters real and personal property to the amount

of $1075.. see reference 1 in letter D. also reference D. letter 12 where you will see that only $500. was transferred to Hannah Hall the only daughter named in the transaction; for the correctness of this see the evidence of her and others on file in the Secretaries office. This was a partial accounting for items 3. 4 th & 5 th in the schedule of Sept. 1823- It does not appear that any real estate, whatever has passed from the old man to his daughter, or that he has owned any for years, but that the daughter owns or has possession of real estate on which the father now resides with her. The situation of that if I mistake not is well known to you and I hope Sir, you will take the trouble to examine the files & papers in the Hon ble Secretaries office and make such explanation of the facts within your knowledge as may appear necessary - not doubting Sir, that you will be of much service in satisfying the Hon ble L. Warbaur and render an essential service to your son. In recurring to items 3-4 & 5 of Sept. schedule as above alluded to you will find the property disposed of and the said Simo. Hall's explanation and evidence with other corroborating testimony contained in the several affidavits, copies of Executions &c, &c.
That Mr. Hall should be able to procure vouchers and positive evidence of the time and manner of the passing of his property singly by items would to us, who are acquainted with him and the circumstances of his case appear almost a miracle -
The reasons why he is not able to procure many more vouchers are his poverty and want of friends able and willing to devote their time and money to look up evidences scattered over two or three Counties, add to these his confinement and the consideration that

his sons who transacted much of the business are out of his reach - Mr. Edwards recommends making a new declaration I cannot see for myself how that can benefit Mr. Hall as it will then be necessary to account for the property previously in his hands, or in other words produce evidence that the property entered in the 2 schedules already in the Secretary's office has fairly and legally passed from him; altho' it has (according to my belief) passed without any fraud on his part or intention to reduce it so as to obtain a pension, yet his life I fear must be far too short to procure disinterested and satisfactory testimony of the particular payments, expenditures and losses if what has been already done be not sufficient -
On the receipt of Mr. Edwards letter of Jan y . 1824 which is herewith inclose to you Mr. Hall's hopes were raised and his friends led to believe that he would succeed in getting restored to the pension list - The charity of our country which ought to be extended to him as a revolutionary soldier in order to benefit him must probably according to the course of human events arrive soon or it may be too late and his epitaph be found recorded in the archives of our country prison - Please to return the letters of Mr. Edwards if convenient - Your attention to the above will much oblige -

Joshua Abbot of Concord N.H. for one year and Timothy Hall of Concord aforesaid also enlisted at that time who was brought up in the same neighbourhood with myself we marched to Winterhill to join Stark's Regiment - When we had arrived at Winterhill the main part of the Regiment had marched before we arrived and we then with others probably between one and two hundred followed and joined the Regiment at Mt. Independence Hall was water to Doctor Chase - some part of the time there were many sick and myself also and I was left sick at a place called Minnecinet in the State of New Jersey (or so pronounced) in the Month of November and did not return home until the same time in the month of March - and I know nothing but that Hall served out his full year but I have no recollection of seeing him after I was left sick until after my return home - Joseph Blanchard
State of Vermont } Calais August 1838 Then Washington County } Joseph Blanchard a man well known to me as a Respectable Man and a credible witness personally appeared and made oath that the above deposition by him subscribed is true - Before Me Lemuel Perry Justice of the Peace

I Lydia H. Cavis, the wife of Nathaniel Cavis of Bow, New Hampshire, depose and say that I am now seventy one years of age - That my name before marriage was Lydia Hall, and that I lived in Concord N.H. with my father Ebenezer Hall, till that time - I had several brothers, two of whom, Tim- othy and Stephen, were soldiers in the War of the Revolution. My Brother Timothy according to my recollection was called a minute man when he first went out as a soldier - I cannot state the exact time when he went, Stephen was in Bunker Hill battle, and it was some time after that when Timothy went - My recollections are that my brother Timothy was absent as a soldier about one year and a half before he returned. And I believe Abbot at my father's I think he served in Capt. Ab- bots company when he first entered the Army.
My impressions are that Timothy was at the tak- ing of Burgoyne, and left about that time as he came from the west when he got home & left my brother Stephen on the road, sick, and my father, as I well recollect, took his horse & went for Stephen & brought him home.
My Brother Timothy married Anna Foster of Bow, and brought her home to my father's when I was about thirteen years of age. It was in the latter part of the year 1780 or 1781 - My father built a small house on his farm for Timothy, where after he was married, where he lived with his wife for two or three years & then they removed to Peach- am Vermont -

There is also a small sum due the said widow from the fourth day of March 1931 to the day of her husband's death which was on the 16 th July 1932 (I state from recollection and may have been mistaken as to the day of his death). The widow received what was due her husband up to the day of his death as his pension or services was then computed. but she is entitled to a small increase on that also — Please make return to John Kimball  Benton  Orleans  County  Vermont

I Brian Hall of Strasburgh in the county of Orleans and State of Vermont of lawful age depose and say that I have been well acquainted with the situation and property of Timothy Hall most of the time for several years past that I boarded with him about the time he made his declaration and schedule in June 1820 at Danville in Caledonia County; that in his schedule Item first "Equity of redemption to certain real estate & sundry notes $200." that was property assigned to Tim o Hall by Eben t & Moses Hall as indemnity for a sum which Tim o was bound to pay for them as surety they having failed, and then supposed to be worth $200. but which in reality proved proved to be worth nothing & the s d Tim o to my knowledge never received any part of the supposed value of s d property & never can - Item 2 d "schedule of poor notes exhibited $182.60" nothing of value was ever collected & they are worth nothing being the refuse of many old and poor debts of long standing - "schedule of sundry notes considered collectable $1010.72" also a few small demands $100." a schedule of sundry goods wares and merchandise $196.11" I was knowing that Tim o Hall paid to Hepsibah Hall about $500. for labour services & property previously rendered for the benefit and support of the family; about $180. to Colonel Dana for house rent provisions &c, to J. Parmelee of Danville for necessaries about $80. to Eliz a Young on a judgment about $50. To Baxter & Mattock about about $120. for house rent &c. at Strasburgh Orleans County. To one Benjamin Lott on a judgment about $60. To Alan Dixon and Graham about $120. on old debts the exact sum to each the exact sum paid each I do not now recollect, that about $12. was paid by said Tim o as costs recovered in an unfortunate suit. I have also known of his paying at different times sundry small sums for necessaries and on old debts; That a stove contained in the s d schedule was broken and nearly or quite lost to him That the clock mentioned in said schedule was taken to satisfy an Execution against the s d Tim o while he resided at Barnette previous to the exhibition of his first schedule and by me purchased at a sheriff sale while I was boarding with the s d Tim o it consequently remained in his house and must have been put in his schedule by mistake as it was

my property, That I have most of the time since the exhibition of the first schedule of Timothy Hall resided in the same house and have had a general knowledge of his affairs and have often assisted in adjusting his business by writing receipts & other papers but at the time of the exhibition of the first schedule I was absent; also that he must have expended a considerable sum in removing from Danville to Granburgh, that he still owes debts which he has not the means of paying and is now confined to the limits of the Debtors prison, and I further testify that the said Timothy lost a cow contained in said schedule which sickened & died beside other losses and further this deponent saith not.
