State of New York
Albany County SS on this 24th day of July 1832 personally appeared before Joseph B. Moore a judge of the County Courts of the County of Albany and State of New York Jacob Ingalls a resident of the town of Westerlo in the county of Albany and State of New York aged 68 years and upwards, who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress passed June 7 1832. That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the month of June in the year 1780 with one Shubael Peck and a number of others and served in the 16th regiment of the Massachusetts line – that he enlisted in Captain North’s Company and Colonel Henry Jackson’s regiment. That Lieut Colonel Cobb also belonged to the said regiment. That he enlisted in the town of Rehoboth in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts where he then resided and immediately marched to Springfield in this State of Massachusetts, and from there to West Point in the State of New York, after stopping at West Point about two weeks, he was marched into a place he thinks was called Long Hill in the State of New Jersey and immediately marched from that place across the river to Verplank’s Point or Kings Ferry where they staid about one week, and then crossed the river bank[? or back?] and went to a place called Orangetown, where they staid about three weeks, and was then marched back to the state of New Jersey but does not recollect the name of the place but thinks it was Teneriffe[? possibly Tenafly NJ?], where they staid some time, but does not recollect the precise time & was then marched back to Orangetown.

and was there, when Major Andre was hung there then headquarters was at Tappan, there he was on guard the day Andre was hung and did not see him, but saw the gallows immediately after. About two or three weeks after the execution of Andre, he was marched on the west side of the river through the woods up to West Point where he staid [stayed] and did garrison duty until in the month of December 1780, at which time & place he was discharged, that he received a written discharge (which is now lost) and then returned home by the way of Danbury, Hartford & Providence to Rehoboth in Massachusetts.
   In the month of April 1781 he again entered the said service by being drafted and joined Capt. Simeon Cole’s company of Massachusetts militia and was immediately marched to Rhode Island at a place (the name of which he does not now recollect) about 10 or 12 miles from Newport and quartered in a Quaker meeting house, where they staid [stayed] a short time, and was then marched to Bristol Neck in the town of Bristol in the said state of Rhode Island where he was dismissed and he then returned home but he has forgotten the time that he was dismissed. He knows ^however^ that he was drafted to go 40 days. That after this he did not again enter the said service – that he was in no battles – nor has he any documentary evidence to prove his service.
     That he resides about 26 or 28 miles from the city of Albany where the courts of record for the county of Albany are held, that there is now prevailing at that place a malignant disease called
Page 7

the cholera as he understands and believes and that he should be unwilling to go to that place at this time on that account that he is infirm but thinks he might possibly travel that distance to attend the court if he was driven to the necessity of doing so. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any agency in any state, that he served as a private soldier in the said service, and that his father Joseph Ingalls was a soldier and served during the whole or nearly the whole of the Revolutionary War in the Army of the United States.
Jacob Ingalls
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid before me J. B. Moore, Judge of Albany County Courts State of New York

Albany County SS James Ingalls residing in Greenville in the county of Green in the State of New York aged 66 years in October next being duly sworn deposed and says that he well knows Jacob Ingalls the soldier who has subscribed and sworn to the foregoing declarations, and has so known him ever since he was a boy and knew him perfectly well in the Revolutionary War. And this deponent on his oath afore said further says that the said Jacob Ingalls did enlist as he states in the service of the United States in the Revolutionary War in the month of June 1780 at Rehoboth [crossed out - aforesaid] mentioned in the said declaration, and that he was gone in the said service as he understood at the time and verily believes to be true untill the month of December in the same year, that he the said Jacob Ingalls did
Page 8

serve in Capt North’s company in Colonel Jackson’s regiment as he always understood and believes, that he understood that those troops were raised to supply deficiencies in the Continental Army. And this deponent further says on his oath aforesaid that he resides in the same house with the said Jacob Ingalls when he enlisted and started to go into the said service, that he went four miles with him to assist him in carrying his pack when he went to join the Army, and further that he was at home when the said Jacob Ingalls returned home in December (he thinks the last of December), and the said Jacob Ingalls then told him that he had come immediately from the U.S. Army at West Point and that he had been in the said service during the time he had been gone, which this deponent verily believed at the time and now believes. And this deponent further states on his said oath, that he well reccollects [recollects] that the said Jacob Ingalls was drafted in the month of April 1781 to go into the said service for the term of 40 days and knows that he went to Rhode Island and served as he states in his said declaration.
