That he was in the service constantly from May 1775 till the time last mentioned when he and the company to which he belonged was discharged in the state of New Jersey at a place called Ramepaugh. That soon after his return home he was appointed a captain in the 8th Regiment of Militia in the state of Connecticut in that was called the alarm list of that he thinks in the month of August int he same year he was appointed to the command of a company of Connecticut troops in Col. Latimores Regt and joined Genl Gates' army at Stillwater.

That on his return home after the taking of Burgoyne, he paid off many of his soldiers & received pay two years after in depreciated continental paper from the United States whereby he sustained a great loss & that he then moved into Saratoga County where by his house being burned his ruin as to property was completed. That he then removed to where he now lives in Milton when the country was entirely new.
