We Nehemiah Woodward of Bridgewater in the State of Vermont sixty eight years of age, and Abiathar Young of Wendell in the County of Cheshire and State of New Hampshire sixty seven years of age testify and declare that we have been acquainted with Israel Bryant of Wendell in the State of New Hampshire from our youth, and know that he enlisted into the army of the revolution in the month of November or December but precisely the time we do not recollect in the Regiment commanded by Col. Hitchcock according to our best recollection in the company of Capt John Spurr, for the term of one year and afterward enlisted for another short time and was honorably discharged at Chatham in the State of New Jersey, according to the best of our recollection some time in the month of February AD 1777. Our recollection of this part arises from said Bryant having been in the same Regiment with us during the whole of said term, though not in the same company.
