And first, in a Company of State troops raised in said Tolland County, early in the Spring of the year 1775. Captain Solomon Willes, of the Town of Tolland, Commanded the Company, and they went to Roxbury, & Cambridge, near Boston; where they served from the first of May until past the middle of December 1775. The said James Steele, ( then James Steele Junr) as his father Capt James Steele was then living) The said James Steel Jun performed his duty, in this tour, as a Drummer or fifer in that said Company.
And again, in the Spring of the year 1776, He inlisted into a Regiment of State troopers, Raised to go to New York, and Long Island to serve, (as she has understood,) for Six Months, or more. The Regiment, to which he belonged, was commanded by Col Comfort Sage, that in which
Page 7

of the Companies he performed the Service whether in that commanded by Capt Jonathon Parker, or by Capt Jonathon Birge, She cannot confidently say, but his service in that company, she expects to prove.
She furthermore declares, That after his return from the campaigns at NewYork about the 1st of January 1777. he commenced the Study of Medicine and that in one of the latter years of the War he served as Surgeons Militia under Doctor Cobb of said Tolland in one tour of Military Service, but she has not yet been able to obtain satisfactory evidence of the circumstances of the service.

That her husband the aforesaid James Steele died at said Ellington in the 15th day of January AD 1819

That the said James Steele Jun, went down to Roxbury; near Boston as a fifer in Captain Wills company; I was intimately acquainted with him; he was cousin to me; and very intimate in our family; I remember well his being gone thru the whole season from May to December 1775. I know a great number of the men that went from Tolland, & I well know the Captain. and the Lieut Jonathon Parker. [was head of crossed out]
I also well remember that the next year after they went to Roxbury; There was a company raised in this place, to go to New York, My Brother Stephen Steele went, & my Cousin James Steele Jun, enlisted into the company; The company was commanded by Captain Jonathon Parker the same man who was Lieut the year before: and I was well acquainted with him: they went away the forepart of the Summer, & staid in till after Christmas.
The said James Steele Jun, Studied Medicine & toward the close of the went a tour as Surgeons Mate under old Doct Cobb: but where he went that time I do not certainly remember: but the two first tours my brothers went, & the impry

sion is very distinct on my mind that my cousin James went in both these tours: And he is the same Man who afterwards Settled in Ellington and who married Jemima Wolcott of East Windsor who is now a widow, the said James Steele died in Ellington about twenty years ago.

And the next year, Viz in 1776, I went with the Militia to New York; I went in Capt James Fitchs company of Militia, and when I got to the camp I found James Steele Jun in the Service: I was well acquainted with him, & know that he served here in that campaign. I returned when the time of our detachment was out; and I left the said James Steele Jun in the service and he did not return until winter & he is the same man who married Jemima Wolcott of East Windsor; & he died some years ago, & his widow is still living

My father also went with a company of volunteers to Roxbury. My said Brother James having some taste for martial music went as a fifer of one of these companies they went to Roxbury and Cambridge in which of the Companies my said Brother served after they got to Roxbury I cannot say as I did not go myself. My brother James above named was gone upon early in the Spring untill December for a period of more than seven months according to the best of my recollection. Again the Spring of the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy six my said Brother James Steel Jun enlisted into a company of State troops and went from said Tolland where he then lived to New York when it was supposed the enemy might appear after they left Boston. My impression and belief is that he enlisted for eight months or more. In the month of August one thousand seven hundred and seventy six the Militia was sent for. I was then a fifer in the company which company was commanded by Capt Isaac Fellows and was attached to Colonel Samuel Chapmans Regiment. After our Company reached New York My said brother James Steele Jun came to see me said he had been serving  on Long Island and had been engaged as a illegible] there. I was in the City of New York when the enemy came in, and we retreated to Harlem Hights so called. There I again saw my said brother James. I continued serving with my said company untill the two months for which we were called had expired when our company was dismissed and we returned home.
Page 14

I left my my said brother James. That James  serving with his company and he did not return according to my best recollection untill about the first of January
I have understood that Capt. Jonathon Birge and Capt Jonathon Parker both commanded companies of State Troops in that campaign and they both lived in neighboring towns but I cannot say with certainty who commanded the company my said Brother served in thru that campaign -but I know full well that he enlisted to go and did go. That I saw him then repeatedly left him doing duty when I came away with our Militia and that he did not return until I had been at home some months.
