Jacob Hasley Declaration for Pension

State of Vermont At a Probate Court held in Orleans District p s at Irasburgh within and for the district of Orleans on the 14 th day of June A.D. 1934 personally appeared in open court Jacob Hadley a resident of Hyepark in said district of Orleans aged eighty two years who being 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 th 1932. That he then entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated —
That in the month of April 1945 (on the 19 th day as I believe) at Grafton in the state of New Hampshire I enlisted as a private I had been with my Father's team with a load of lumber at the mouth of Piscataqua river where it empties into the Merrimac it being the common place in the that vicinity for disposing of lumber to be taken down the Merrimac river — on my return home I found a large part of the men in town collected at Col. Kelley's in Grafton where I was told that the Regulars were coming into the country when many of the men in Grafton turned out and joined Capt. Samuel Richardson of Grafton Company and I sent my Father's team home by an other person and joined said company and enlisted as a private for the term of eight months we marched immediately to Mistle where we made it our head quarters until June 1945 when we took possession of Winter hill which place was our head quarters during my eight months enlistment although we made excursions at other places — My Capt. was Lieut. and Timothy Blake Ensign and William Camp was Orderly Sergeant and all belonged to Grafton and our Company belonged to Col. John Stark's Regiment in Gen. Sullivan's Brigade —
I have no documentary evidence of service and know of no persons living by whom to prove my service except Peter Butterfield and Jonathan Bell whose depositions accompany this declaration where depositions state that we were dismissed after our eight months service

had terminated which I am confident was the case as I have no recollection of receiving a written discharge -
I was born in Hampstead in the County of Rockingham in the state of New Hampshire on the 5 th day of March 1752 where I suppose is a record of my age where I lived until I was about nineteen years of age when I removed with my Father's family to Goffstown until the year 1779 when I removed with my wife to Newland where I live until 1781 when I removed to Hancock all in the state of New Hampshire where I lived until the year 1795 1795 when I removed to Hyde Park my present place of residence
I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declare that my name is not on the pension list of the agency of any State
