after went to West Point and was placed in Major
Scott's Company, which was commanded by lieutenant How,
which was attached to Colonel Cilley's Regiment. That after he
had been at said West Point a few days, he was selected to go into
what was called the Light Infantry & left the company he first
joined.  The Company of Light Infantry which he entered was commanded by Captain Mason & belonged to the Regement (Regiment) commanded

organized it marched into what was called the New Jersies & from
thence into the immediate vicinity of New Y ork City, where it
