I Daniel Bean of the age of sixty two years, born
in Kingston in the County of Rockingham, now
dwelling in Salibury in the County of Hillsborough
in the state of New Hampshire
testify & say that I enlisted as a private soldier
in the continental service in the month of August
in the year 1775, with Lieutenant Alexander
Brink in the company commanded by Capt. Benedict
in the Grand Battalion of the New York Regiment.
commanded by Col. Van Schaick, for six months,
I served that period in the northern army commanded
first by Gen. Schuyler & after ward by Genl. Montgomery.
I joined the Regiment at Albany, marched
from thence to Ticonderoga, then to Canada, was 
present at the taking of St. Johns, Chamblee & 
Montreal, then my time expires. I then enlisted
again in the same company with Capt.
Benedict for three months and went down
to Quebec with Genl. Montgomery. I was
present at the storming of Quebec, & near to the
General when he was killed, I staid with the 
army all winter til may and then my time
was out & I was then discharged by Capt. Benedict 
at Chamblee in Canada.

The January next after I was discharged by Capt
Benedict I enlisted in the service of the United States for three years with Capt. McCune in
Col. Seth Warner's Regiment, and joined the
company at Windsor in the State of Vermont, then marched to
the Regiment at Ticonderoga.
I was with Col. Warner in the fights at Hubbardton and the battle of Bennington, where I was taken
prisoner by the enemy, who kept me about ten
days & then I made my escape & joined my company &
Regiment again. I was present at the taking 
of Gen. Burgoyne, & in the Spring of 1778
Page 5

we marched to Fort Edward, to look out
on the frontier, when we lay all [furriner?] & 
the next winter, & in the Spring of 1779 we
marched to Fort George at the Head of Lake George.
In July 1779, I was out on a scouting party , the
party were attacked by the Mohawk Indians, seven
of our people were killed, I was wounded & I
with six others were taken prisoners by the Indians, and carried to 
Montreal & delivered up to the English. I was 
then sent to Quebec where I remained 
a prisoner about two months & then made
my escape & came home thro the
woods to Salisbury New Hampshire in October
1779 where I understood that the Regiment
of Col. Warner to which I belonged was broken
up. I served in Capt. Benedict's Company
in Col. Van Schaick's Regiment from August 
1775 til May 1776 nine months.

I served as a private soldier in Capt. McCune's company in 
Col. Seth Warner's Regiment from January
1777 untill July 1779 in the Service of the United
States, besides the two months
that I was a prisoner in Canada, after being
taken the second time.

I am now infirm, destitute of
property, and get a subsistence by daily
labour, and by reason of reduced circumstances
Stand in need of assistance from my Country for Support.
