I Daniel Goodenow of Alfred in the County of York and State of Maine, Counsellor at Law, do depose and say that I wrote the history of the three tours of Revolutionary services performed by Samuel Hasty of Shapleigh in said County of York, as recited in his original declaration, annexed, made by him in open Court at said Alfred on the third day of September 1832, before the Hon. Wm. A. Rogers, Judge of the Court of Probate for said County of York; that in writing said declaration, I omitted to state the grades in which said Samuel Hasty served, said three tours, not then recollecting, if I knew, that there was a difference of pay for the different grades of soldiers, without commissions. I was not familiar with the pension law then and am not now, having had but very little to do with it. I do not now recollect that said Hasty then stated the grades in which he served his several tours, or that he did not, but not being aware of its materiality at that time, I think I should not probably have inserted the grades, had he stated them. I think it would be doing him injustice to impute any inconsistency or prevarication to him, in consequence of this omission, which was only an error of mine, as I believe.

And I hereby certify that said Daniel Goodenow is a credible witness. Attest, Jeremiah Goodwin, Justice of the Peace for said county of York.

I Joseph Wilkinson, now of Shapleigh in the county of York and state of Maine, being duly sworn, doth depose & say, that I am over seventy seven years of age, that I was born in the town of Newington State of New Hampshire & resided there till 1761, when I removed to Berwick & from then to Sanford in said county, where I have since resided till 1832, and then removed to said Shapleigh; that I have been well acquainted with Samuel Hasty now of said Shapleigh for over seventy years; that said Hasty lived in York, within two miles of my residence in said Berwick till about 1780, when he removed to & has since resided in said Shapleigh.
That in the year 1776, I think about November, I enlisted as a soldier at said Berwick for the period of three months, in Capt. Jonathan Hamilton's company in Col. John Frost's Regiment of Massachusetts Militia, and served with said company & regiment at Danbury, Ct. and at Peekskill & other places on North River for the period of four & half months before I was discharged. And said Samuel Hasty was a soldier in the same regiment at the same time, it is believed in Capt. Abel Moulton's company of said York - I am positive said Samuel Hasty was a soldier in said Regiment, and was discharged at the same time I was. I served several tours during the revolutionary war, and always understood that said Hasty served two or more tours besides the one before referred to, but not at the same time with me - I always understood from said Hasty, & others in the neighborhood, that he served three tours during the war, and I have no doubt of it, having lived a near neighbor to him till near the close of the Revolution. Witness my hand this 3rd day of March 1832 Joseph Wilkinson

Additional Declaration of Samuel Hasty of Shapleigh in the county of York and State of Maine, for pension under law of June 7, 1832.
The said Samuel Hasty being duly sworn, doth depose and say, that he is eighty nine years of age, was born and lived in the town of York in the county of York, till about 1780, when he removed to & has since resided in said Shapleigh; that at the close of the year 1775 or first part of 1776, he served as a Private soldier for the pe- riod of two months in Capt. Eaton's company in the New Hampshire Militia, and served said period out at Malden, near Boston, Massachusetts, where he was discharged - the regiment is not recollected.
That about November, 1776, he enlisted at said York, as a Private soldier for the period of three months in Capt. Abel Moulton's company in Col. John Frost's regiment of Massachusetts Mili- tia, and served out at Peekskill, New York, where he was discharged.
That in the year 1778, he believes, he enlisted at Berwick as a Sergeant for the period of eight months in Capt. Woodson's company in Col. Poor's regiment of the Massachusetts Line, and served out said period of eight months as a Sergeant, and was stationed & discharged at West Point in New York; that he had a discharge signed by Col. Poor, which has long since been lost.
And the said Hasty further deposes, that by reason of old age and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot positively state the day or month of his enlistment or discharge, but he is positive that he served the periods aforesaid at the least, to wit:
For two months, as a Private in 1775 & 1776;
For three months or more, as a Private in 1776 or 1777;
For eight months at least, as a Sergeant, in 1778; and for such services he claims a pension.
And the said Hasty further deposes, that he has

no documentary evidence of his said services; and by reason of loss of memory, he does not recollect any living soldier who served in the same companies with him, but Joseph Wilkinson was a soldier in the same regiment, Col. Frost's, with him.
At the time his declaration was made in the Probate Court, Sept. 3, 1832, it was understood that no clergyman was at Alfred, and therefore no clergyman made affidavit of his services; but Major Darling Huntress, who has known this declarant for over sixty five years, signed said affidavit - And further saith not.

That in the year 1776 I think about November I enlisted as a soldier at said Berwick for the period of three months in Capt Jonathan Hamilton's company in Col John Frost's regiment of Massachusetts Militia & served with said company & regiment at Danbury Ct. & at Patskill & other places on North River for nearly four months before I was discharged, And said Samuel Hasty was a soldier in the same regiment at the same time it is believed in Capt Abel Moulton's company of said York I am positive said Samuel Hasty was a soldier in said regiment and was discharged at the time I was. And I always understood that said Hasty served two other tours besides the one before referred to I always understood from said Hasty and others in the same neighborhood that he served a tour of eight months subsequent to the one when I was out as a sergeant in Capt Hudson's company from Berwick and have no doubt of it as I have been a near neighbor to him for sixty five years.
