State of New York, County of Sullivan} ss:
On this tenth day of June 1834 personally appeared in open court, before the Judges of the Court of Common pleas of said County now sitting, Henry Patmor a resident of the town of Thompson, in the County of Sullivan & State of New-York, 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 7, 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers & served as herein stated.
In the year 1776, the precise time in the year he does not recollect, he was drafted, and marched to Fort Montgomery, on Hudson river, where he remained two months, engaged principally in erecting fortifications. He was under Captain John Graham when drafted, but cannot say who acted as his captain after they arrived at the Fort. He cannot say who commanded the troops at the Fort, but recollects that Colonel Dubois was there. After the expiration of the term of 2 months, he returned home and during the year 1777 was again drafted & went to Fort Montgomery where he remained in the service three months, under Capt. Matthew Jansen in Colonel McLaughry's regiment. He recollects that General James Clinton & George Clinton were there during this time & a Capt. Moody with a company of Artillery. In the fall of 1777 as he now recollects, the company of militia to which he was attached in Orange County, New York, were called only in consequence of the British vessels going up the Hudson river as was said, to effect a junction with General Burgoyne. They were stationed at New Burgh on said river to repel the enemy should they attempt to land, during this time, the troops with when he served were under Lieutenant Joseph Crawford, Col. Abm. Hasbrouck. After the enemy went down the river the applicant was dismissed & returned home having served one month. In the year 1778 the Indians and tories
Page 5

became very troublesome to the frontiers, and the company to which he was attached was ordered out, and made their headquarters at Warwasing [Wawarsing]  in Ulster County — He recollects that one Henry Patterson was commissary at this place: Between this place and a picket fort at Jacobus Devin's he lay two & a half months, acting as a sergeant. He has forgotten who his officers at this time were, as they were on the move from one post to another, and he formed no particular acquaintance with them— In 1779 he was drafted again and went out under one Lieutenant Thompson, it being half a company— They were under Col. Jacob Newkirk, and were again marched to the frontiers, and he was again stationed at the said Pickett fort, and served two months - this was in the summer. In the year 1780 was again drafted for two months under Captain William Cross,—one Henry B. Livingston was one of his officers - The colonels name was Jansen - He was during this time between a place called Vernooy's mill and said pickett fort, one duty & served his time out — In 1781, in the summer & fall was called out again on a draft and acted as a sergeant, doing frontier duty for 2 months — These troops were under officers, that were generally stationed higher up, than where he was stationed & consequently he did not see them often — There was no fighting in which he was engaged during his service - He knows of no person now living who can testify to his service except Elnathan Sears Esq and Robert McCloughlan whose depositions are hereto annexed — and he has no documentary evidence He hereby relinquishes every claim whatsoever to a pension or annuity except the present & declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the Agency of any State — He resided at time of service in Montgomery. then Ulster County New York & resided there or thereabouts until about 1 year & 9 months last past during which time he has lived at Thompson Sullivan County, New York. There is no clergyman living near him, who has any acquaintance with him: that Grant B. Marvin & John Anderson have known him & can testify to his character & reputation.

State of New York Sullivan County SS - Henry Patmor of said County an applicant for a pension, being required to make a supplemental affidavit in relation to his service in the Revolutionary Army, being duly sworn deposes and says: 
That his first service in the Army was at Fort Montgomery in the State of New York, under Colonel James McClaughry as he thinks, & Captain Matthew Jansen. He served at this time three months - The troops here were, as he understood, state troops - 
In the succeeding year the company to which he was attached was called out and stationed at different places along the frontiers. The company was divided and the part to which he belonged were under a Sergeant Melspaugh- The Captain's name he has forgotten, as the Captain was stationed higher up the line together with the other commissioned officers- These were state troops also, regularly called out for four months service, but he served only two months at that time. 
In the year after, he was called out again in a company commanded by Capt. William Cross, and was again marched to a picket fort, and remained there on duty two months more. He thinks one Thomas Jansen was Colonel- one Henry B Livingston was an officer in the Company- The duty was dangerous, as the Indians and tories were in that region, and were only kept from ravaging the country, by the troops sent by the State for that purpose: 
In the following year, the company was again ordered out to protect the inhabitants on the frontiers & he again went under Lieutenant Thompson. He thinks one Johannes T Jansen was Colonel : He served two months again & was then permitted to return home. 
The next year he was out again, but for only short periods & he cannot recollect the length of his service . but he well remembers the service above stated
