Page 18

that in addition to what he has heretofore stated in his declaration he now adds that he has for some time past been seeking for further Testimony to support his claim but has not succeeded as he cannot learn that any other persons are alive that know of his service in the Revolution except John Beardslee, Joseph F Brotherwell & James R. French whose depositions are annexed which is the best and all the proof he can now make And that the nine months service as Corporal of a guards was faithfully performed and was continuous and unbroken service 
And the reason that his papers were not forwarded to the War department when first authenticated was that he hoped to obtain further Testimony in support of his claim That the reason he has not procured the certificate of a Clergyman is that the Clergyman in the Town where he lives have recently settle and know nothing of his services in the Revolutionary War

I James R.

Said Lacey enlisted into said Company at the same time we went to New York together and did duty in said Company together for the United States in the State of New York for four months was dismissed together at the end of said four months at New York. I have personal knowledge that said Lacy performed this four months service for the United States as aforesaid 
James R. French 
I John Beardslee of Bridgeport in Fairfield County now in Court & being duly sworn in the matter of the application of the within named Zachariah Lacey, that I resided in the same Town with him during the Revolutionary War that in June 1776 I enlisted in Fairfield in to Capt George Benjamin's Company of State Troops for six Months said Lacey was a Corporal in said Company we went together in said Company to New York & performed six months service together in said Company for the United States & was dismissed together at the end of said six months on Christmas day at North Castle in the State of New York I have personal knowledge that said Lacey performed this six months Service for the United States as aforesaid
Page 20

And that in regard to the Nine months service as claimed by him in his Deposition as a Corporal of a Guard, I have no personal knowledge that he performed said service but I know there was such a guard kept on said Beach on the sound - and from the well known Veracity and good character of said Lacy I have no doubt that he performed said nine months service as he has stated in his Deposition (for the United State.)
