March Term 1834 
On this 18th day of March A D 1834 personally appeared in Court before the Court of Common Pleas now sitting Isaac Peck of a resident of Parma township, County of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio aged seventy five years, who having been first duly sworn according to law doth on his said oath maketh following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of an Act of Congress passed June 7. 1832.    
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein Stated.   
He enlisted at Berlin Connecticut for six months in the month of October. He marched to Stamford and remained there and at Horseneck since called Greenwich, at Rye in West Chester County, New York.  Having served out his term he was honorably discharged or Sawfish so called in  West Chester County.  He served under Captain Hinsdale, Col Wyllis [Wyllys] and General Putnam. He does not recollect exactly the name the troops but he thinks they were called Connecticut State troops.  
C     The applicant in the year 1779 after the British came to New Haven in Connecticut  turned out as a volunteer with the militia at Berlin aforesaid. He arrived at Fairfield just as the British were leaving it, the town was them on fire.   Having served two months in Fairfield County chiefly of Fairfield & Norwalk

he was honorably discharged. He served under Lt. Bunnell of West Britain, but does not remember his Captains name.   
In the year,  the year that Danbury in Connecticut was burned by the British the applicant volunteered his Service with the Connecticut militia, and marched from Berlin to Danbury, was then when General Wooster was killed. Having served one month was honorably discharged.  
The applicant was born in the parish of West Britain in Berlin, Connecticut July 16,  1758, and that was his home until he was 26 or 27 years old - then he moved to Shoreham Vermont where he resided five years. Then he moved to Stephen Town in New York about twenty miles East of Albany.  There he resided six or seven years.  Then I resided at Windham New York seven or eight years - then one year at New Durham N.Y., one year - then he resided in Vernon Oneida County NY ten years then at [unreadable] Onondaga County NY  three years,  then in 1832 he removed to Parma Ohio where he has ever since resided.  He may not exact to a year in the statements but there is no intentional error.  His age was kept in his mother bible and when she died an elder brother took it to Vermont.   
The applicant has no documentary evidence and no living witnesses this service.  
His health is feeble and his memory considerably impaired especially as to dates and names
