Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of congress of the 7th of June 1832 
on this 5th day of Oct AD 1832 State of Ohio Warren County.  Personally appeared before the court of common pleas for the county of Warren and now sitting John Foote a resident of said county & state and 66 years who being first duly sworn according to law doth in his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832 --

That he enlisted either for three years, or during the war but which he cannot recollect but his strong impression is that it was for three years.  Some short time after his enlistment, Lieutenant Kimberly left Newtown & went as he understood to West point or New York, he remained at home about three quarters of a mile from Newtown on furlough granted by his Lieut before he went away from New Town. Until the close of the war, he was during all this time ready to march whenever called upon, but for some cause or other unknown to him he never was called upon either by the officers or other of these offices or any other person to serve in the army. He saw Lieutenant Kimberly after the war was over he had then as he understood become a captain
