That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated. 
He enlisted with Colonel John Moylan of the Fourth Regiment of Dragoons, as a private in the month of January in the year seventeen hundred and seventy seven, and served in that Regiment until the first of December in the year seventeen hundred and seventy nine; as will appear by the Certificate of Colonel Moylan which is herewith presented, dated October 18: 1781. In the said month of December 1779, he received of Mr. John Moylan Assistant Clothier General in the Clothier General's Department of the army the appointment of Storekeeper to said Department, and continued in that office until several months after the army was disbanded in the year seventeen hundred and eighty three, his assistance to that time being required to close up the concerns of the department. He entered the Clothing Store of said John Moylan at Morristown in December 1779, and continued there until about the tenth of June 1780, when he received an order from him to proceed with the clothing under his care to Suquesisnna in New Jersey; and he went accordingly, and remained at Suquesunna until the 8th of August after, when he received an order to transport the goods and accompany the teams to Newburg in New York State.

In going he met the clothing in New York State near Fish Kill on the way; and he then proceeded with the clothing to the Magazine in Newburg, where he continued for the purpose of receiving and issuing clothing, until some months after the army was disbanded, as before stated.
