On this 4th day of April AD 1834 personally appeared in open Court before the Court of Probate in In the District afore sd [said] now sitting Nehemiah Brown a resident of the town
Greenwich in the County of Kenfield & State of Connecticut aged Seventy four years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration
in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832 - that he entered the service of the United States
under the following named pieces of record as herein stated. In the Revolutionary war in the spring of 1776 the last of March as I think I went to the City of New York from said
Greenwich as a private soldier in a company of Connecticut militia commanded by Capt Matthew Mead & Lieut. Jno Knapp both of Greenwich both now dead - we were ordered
down to guard the city & steadily did duty there for more than four weeks as I think-- I know for that time at least were then discharged & came home, we went marching [illegible] in a snow storm. After this as I think in the first half of June, [illegible] all events ^and I think^ in June I again went as a private in the same company under the same officers
to said city & did duty there in Washington Army till after the retreat from the city.
