          On this 36th day of December 1832 before me personally appeared Daniel Greene within named who being sworn deposes and says that he served in the Revolutionary War as follows.
         That in the year 1775 in the spring he went at New Lebanon York State--and there with others was formed into a minute company-Captain Nehemiah Fitch--!st Lieutenant Samuel Higler-2nd Lt. Grant-Ensign Gideon King-and a Regt was soon organized commanded by Col William Whiting--and this deponent says that during that season he was constantly prepared to go and actually met twice that and was repeatedly called out in actual service against the Tories who robbed and plundered and was engaged in actual service in that company the full period of two months. The service was performed at the north up the Hudson River at Saratoga and about there-The company officers or some of them went on the expedition. This service was performed at various periods- during the year-

 In 1776 a Grenadier company was formed out of a part of Col. Whiting's Regt-of which Martin Beebe was appointed Captain--Elisha Holleberk 1st Leut--Palmer Cady 2nd Lieut and this deponent Daniel Greene Ensign--and received a warrant & power
Page 6

the committee of safety as they were called which this deponent has lost. In the fall of 1776, the Regt of Col. Whiting was called out, and this deponent went with his company as Ensign- and the Regt assembled at New Concord & marched to Albany then up the North River as far as Fort Edward. Col Wm Whiting had command Regt. and another Regt which was with us commanded by a Col Livingston from Columbia Co., NY and on that tour this deponent served the full term of one month, according to this deponent's best & present recollection, and fir which term he claims allowance. This deponent performed this service in the region about ort Edward and was regularly discharged.

    And this deponent further says that in the fall of 1776 this deponent volunteered in the Commissary Department under Genl Oliver Phelps (perhaps civil contract) and was engaged in that Service in the commissary department, at Lanesboro, Mass. at one Col Smiths-- and continued there during that winter & until March 1777--when this deponent was discharged, having served the full period of Four months for what he claims allowance.

      In summer of 1777 this deponent was a Half Moon above the city of Albany, and was called out in the Mass militia under a Col Schoonover--in Captain or Lieut Commandant Failings company--and
Page 7

this deponent served up above Saratoga at Fort  [illegible] Fort Edward and on to the Reg
and served in that to the town the time of one month  1 mo when we were discharged  -----

And Soon after this in fall of 1777 after
removing our families in consequence of the [illegible] of Genl Burgoynes Army - this deponent volunteened and joined a company of militia what he believes was under the command of Leut Failing --- and attached to Col Schoonovers Regt over 
Lt Colonel he believes was Sr Col Gorton -
We marched to Back of Bemis Heights
where we were stationed at the time Burgoyne
surrendered his army.  -- And this deponent
continued in service of this period the full
term of two months 2 mo -- for which time he
claims allowance. Maj Taylor he thinks
also belonged to the Regt was with them

In 1778 this deponent was called out in
the militia Captain Farting's company - but this
deponent thinks Capt Hick had charge of the company every often [illegible] -- at Cherry
Valley  - Elmo works, and in various other services in that region above & about [illeglible] [illegible] - or as much as four or five weeks - the whole of this service this deponent states to be at least one month and an half  1 1/2 mo for which he claims allowance --

During the last past of the year 1778
& the first of 1779 this deponent again volunteered [illegible] his services in the Commissary Department under Col Yates -  and one Mitchell, was
Page 8

commissary also, under whom this deponent
served - and the whole period of this service was as much as two months for which he claims allowance.

In 1779 or 80 this deponent volunteered
in Capt Van Eps Company as he thinks -- and
in Cole Wamps Regt. N.Y. Militia and
marched at the Mohawk river as far as
Fort Plain and scouted about there
& served for the full term of one month 1 mo for which this deponent does allowance.  Maj Swits belonged w this Regt.

At the time Ballston was burnt - this deponent was called out in Capt Ellsworths Company and marched inmediately and pursued the British &  [illegible] on the branches Hudson River as [illegible] patients.  Maj Mitchell and Major Swits ever with the troops - This service lasted according to this Deponents best recollection & so he states two weeks 2 weeks.

This deponent served various other tours
as stated in his former declaration for short
periods - but he cannot now state them - [illegible] [illegible] and the particular officers under whom served he cannot now state as other periods

This deponent now says that he knows of no living witness who served with him-
The reason why this deponent
did not obtain a clergyman is because
Page 9

the distance from his residence to where
court was held was such as to render it in convenient to obtain his attendance.
That depicts he now suppliez.

He refers to persons who know him
and can testify as to his reputation & character
to the following persons residents of Rome.

Dear Madam;
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Daniel Green, a pensioner of Rome, Oneida County, New York, in 1840, also, information in regard to Molly Merritt, cited also as a pensioner of Oneida County, New York, in 1840.

The record of Daniel Greene, the pensioner cited by you, is furnished herein as found in pension claim, W.13326.
Daniel Greene was born in the year 1756, in North Kingston, Rhode Island; the names of his parents are not shown.

Sir,
In behalf of the widow of Daniel Green- who was pensioned from New York, under Act of 7th June 1832, _ I respectfully request a reexamination of his papers that the service performed for Six months in the Commissary Department may be computed in the allowance of the pension.
As it is well known by the Department that Oliver Phelps, under whom claimant states he served, - was an Officer of the Comsy. Dept. duly appointed and authorized to enlist or engage assistance in his department, it is deemed unnecessary to more than refer to the Declaration, in replying to the note in the margin of the same, stating "perhaps civil contract."

Washington City July 29th 1830
Sir,
On the examination of the papers in the case of Daniel Greene late a pensioner for Revolutionary services in your office, today, I found proof of some seventeen and a half months service, in addition, to the three weeks on the occasion of the Boston Tea Party in 1773. By notes on the papers, it appears that the six months, as Commissary was rejected, that one month as Ensign was allowed, and also nine months as militiaman, making sixteen months only: and thus leaving one month and a half besides the three weeks above alluded to, not accounted for. Not perceiving any material difference in the character if proof relating to the various periods of service, I am at a loss to determine, whether the month and a half, not mentioned, has not been overlooked. If the month and a half was intended to be disallowed, you will oblige me by stating which particular month and a half is meant thus to be rejected, As to the served in 1773, please state whether service to that early date, is or is not allowable in cases of pensioners.
In this connexion, and in view of the small amount which appears to have been allowed to Mr. Greene, I have respectfully to ask what is the amount of pay or pension, per month, for an Ensign, and also for a Commissary. I hope you may find it convenient to reply soon.
With great respect
Your obt. servant
