Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7. 1832 
State of New York 
County of St Lawrence ss: On this Twenty fourth day of September 1832 personally appeared in open Court before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the County of St Lawrence aforesaid, now sitting Dan Judd a resident of the Town of Canton in the said County of St Lawrence and State of New York aged seventy two years on the 27th day of September instant 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 and served as herein in stated. He was born on the 27th day of September 1760 in the Town of Farmington in the County of Hartford in the State of Connecticut. Has a record of his age in his family Bible and has often heard in his family that his age is recorded in the Town books in Farmington, at Farmington, aforesaid in the month of February 1777 he was drafted from the militia to serve for two ["three" crossed out] months Before he was order to march he inlisted [enlisted] for one year to serve as a minute man, liable to be called out three months at a time, in a company under Captain Asa Bray - Lieut_ Goodwin, Ensign Elathan [Elnathan] Hubbard. He was called out for three months the fore part of March [illegible month crossed out] in the same year, and marched with his company to Stamford- and from there to Horseneck and Stanwich. At the last place his company joined the regiment of State Troops under the command of Colonel Eno. The names of the other officers of the regiment he cannot remember. From Stanwich he marched with the Regiment to West Point on North River, where Continental Troops under Gen. Malcom [Malcolm] (which he thinks was the commanding officer's name) were stationed. He was then employed with his regiment in digging a bomb proof and erecting fortifications, until their three months expired, when he was discharged with his company, and returned home to Farmington where he was again called out in his inlistment [enlistment] in about two months ["after" crossed out]
Page 7

["2 mos after" penciled in on left]
["days" crossed out] after he reached home, about the last of September in the same year, and joined his company under the same officers at Horseneck, during this service for three months his company was employed as a guard at different places in the state of Connecticut and New York principally at Horseneck; Sawpitts [Sawpit/Saw Pit]; and Stamford, at which last place he was discharged in the last days of December or first of January following. He did not recieve [receive] any written discharge. Hise [His] six months service was all he performed for the said inlistment [enlistment], not being called out again; for which he received six months pay. All the officers under whom he served he believes to be dead and he does not know, of any one who served with him living. Four privates from Southington (part of the old Town of Farmington) about his age, served in the same company & some of them may have made their application for pension. Their names are Joel Bunnell, David Becket [Beckwith]- Lent Hart and Hard [Ard] Hart. He does not know, where either of them reside. 
On the 1st day of March 1781 at Farmington aforesaid he enlisted for one year as a private in the Connecticut State Troops, in a company whose officers were Capt. Matthew Smith of Goshen, Lieut. Goodwin of New Britton [Britain]; Ensign he does not remember; in a Battallion [battalion] commanded by Major Elijah Humphrey; and in a Brigade under Gen Waterbury, consisting of Two Battallions [battalions]; that in which the applicant served was the second Battallion [battalion] which he thinks consisted of four companies; the one with the applicants commanded by Capt Granger. Capt. Dana commanded the first company in the first ["Brigade" crossed out] Battallion [battalion]; and Capt Moulton another Company. He was discharged by Gen Waterbury with the Brigade at Stamford on the 1st day of March 1782, but received no written discharge. Immediately after his inlistment [enlistment] in March 1781, his company and a part of one or two other Companies, mustered at Palmer's Hill & were there stationed some time until the rest of the recruits

came in when the whole Brigade marched to White plains and there quartered in tents during the summer. In July the Brigade marched in the night from ["Throgg's called [illegible]" penciled in on left] White Plains to Throg's point to intercept a body ["of Brittish Regulars and" crossed out] Tories called Cow Boys who had been plundering the Country of cattle and provisions. They crossed the marsh over to the Point about sunrise the next morning and then separated into Two Parties. The first division Took the left and the second, in which the applicant was, took the right; and after marching about one hour his division fell in with the enemy who were concealed in the underwood, on the Point. The first knowledge we had of the enemy was from their fire on the right of our division. The skirmish continued between them and our Party, they retreating toward the beach, until orders came to join the rest of the Brigade, when we marched to the place where we crossed the marsh and joining the other division crossed over to the main land. The other division he afterwards learned took some cattle. The Brittish [British] Troops he understood were commanded by Gen. De Lancey One ["Two" crossed out] soldier ["s" on end crossed out] in the applicants company was ["were" crossed out] killed in the skirmish. He saw Two of the enemy killed. How many more were killed on both sides he does not know. The French Light horse also were stationed at White Plains near Gen. Waterbury's quarters on the same day attacked the enemy at Morrissena [Morrisania]. The Brigade marched back to White Plains the next day. Whilst at White Plains Gen. Parson's Brigade of Continental Troops marched past, to the South. In the fall he marched to Kingstreet[?] with the rest of the Brigade and after remaining there a short time marched to Stanwich Hill near Stamford village; and there built redoubts and barracks for winter quarters. He wintered at that place, and on the first of March 1782 the whole Brigade were discharged by Gen. Waterbury in the Village of Stamford. He knows of no private or officer living who can testify to this last service. He was two

younger brothers, the eldest Amos Judd of Shelden [Sheldon] in the State of Vermont, and the other, Gideon Judd of Massena who remember his service. He has no documentary or written evidence whatever. He resided from the close of the revolutionary war until about twenty five years ago in the State of Connecticut excepting several years during which he resided in Middlebury in the State of Vermont since that time he has resided in the said Town of Canton where he now resides. He is acquainted with Stillman Foote Esquire of Canton aforesaid, with Minet Jenison Esquire one of the Judges of the said Court, of the same place, and with Rev. Hiram S. Johnson a clergyman of the same place who will testify to his character and a belief of his services. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension Roll of the agency of any state.
