"that in the year 1777 he went again from sd Andover under Capt. John Abbot before named directly to Saratoga and was absent over one month and during the time was under the command of Colo Brickett of Haverhill Mass & present at the capture of Burgoyne - That according to the best of his knowledge and belief, he was born at Andover Mass. that he once had a record of his age, which is now lost or mislaid. That after the services before named he returned to Andover and lived there untill 1783 when he removed to Concord N.

same year, and during the time was under the County of Colr Bricket of Haverhill Mass and present at the Capture of Burgoyne and well recollect that said Chandler was in the same service during the period and under the circumstances mentioned by him, as above. That according to the best of my knowledge and belief said Chandler was born at Andover Mass. having known said Chandler when we were boys. that after the service before mentioned he returned & Andover, where he resided till 1793, when he removed to Concord N. Hampshire, when, as I have been informed and verily believe he has ever since resided. I received no written discharge at the close of the above term of service, and verily believe that said Chandler received none. I understood at the time, and have no doubt now, that said Chandler was out in the service at other times than what I have specified above, under Captain John Abbot & Benjamin Ames, but not having been at any other time in the service with him cannot swore positively about it
