He enlisted early in the spring of 1775, in Cornwall in the State of Connecticut, for eight or nine months, cannot now say which, under Capt. John Sedgewick in Col. Hinmans Regiment and marched through the Country to Lake George, Ticonderoga and Crown Point, and from thence to St. Johns under Gen. Schuyler, and was at the siege and taking thereof, and was one of the guard that returned with the prisoners to Albany and down the River to Red Hook, where he was discharged having served about two weeks over the term of his enlistment.
Also enlisted early in the spring of 1776, for eight or nine months under Capt. Edward Rogers, in Cornwall Connt. under Col. Hart in Gen.

Hart was taken prisoner-  that he continued with the Army at White Plains, Peekskill &c. until he was discharged at the end of the term of his enlistment.
That in the spring of 1777 he enlisted again for eight months in Cornwall, Connecticut, under the same Captain Rogers, then in Col.

J. L. Edwards, Esquire
Sir,
Your communication of the 8th Ult. was recd. by regular course of mail (in relation to the case of Ichabod Brown) but I have delayed writing again to you upon the subject, in order to get returns from Cornwall in Connecticut, where Mr. Brown had sent to ascertain whether any of his old acquaintances in the Army were still living.  Mr. Brown has now recd. three Affs. which I enclose herein.  I trust that these will satisfactorily establish his tours of service in 1776 & 1777.  You mention that the "tour in Col. Harts Regt. in 1776 could not have exceeded five months."  You will perceive by the Aff. of Mr. Harrison that Col. Gay commanded this Regt. until his death and that Col. Hart succeeded him.  Mr. Brown knew nothing of your last communication to me until today and when I read it to him he said he might not have served in Col Hart's Regt. more than 5 mo. altho' he was longer in the same Regt. and that he recollected well that Col. Gay had command of it for a time, after seeing the Afft. but that it did not occur to him at the time of making his Declaration.
The person that drafted the accompanying Affidavits, or those that swore to them knew nothing of the contents of the original papers made by Mr. Brown or of the correspondence that has passed between you & me upon the subject unless Mr. Brown from recollection stated something of it to a third person who was going to Connecticut, as all the papers have & still do remain in my possession, and I knew nothing of his sending until some time after he had sent.  I mention this as evidence, satisfactory in my mind, that the Affs. were drawn up wholly from the knowledge of the persons swearing to them.  Mr. Brown resided in Camden in
Page 10

Oneida County in this State for nearly thirty years and until about six years ago when he removed to this town, but for a year or two past he has been living alternately with his children in Camden and in this town; but since last spring has spent most of his time in Camden, except two short visits to his sons here; the two places being but twenty six miles apart.  He was in Camden when he sent to Connecticut to ascertain whether he could get any testimony in relation to his service in the Army, this accounts for his being described in the Affidavits as of Camden N. Y.
If you consider the testimony herewith sent, together with that sent with the Declaration, as sufficient to establish the service stated in 1775, 76 & 77, cannot you admit some part of that claimed to have been rendered in after years, in case the three first tours do not amount to 24 months?-  Mr. Browns testimony, where he is well known, would be recd. as soon as any Pensioner that I am acquainted with, and if I am correctly informed, some are now drawing their pensions who never produced any testimony except their own Affidavits.  In these cases, however, you may have found some record of their service.
I am Sir very respectfully
Your Obdt. Servt.

Dear Madam: 
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S. 28657, it appears that Ichabod Brown was born March 23, 1753 in Old Branford, Connecticut. 
While a resident of Cornwall, Richfield County, Connecticut , he enlisted and served as a private with the Connecticut troops as follows:
From the spring of 1775 eight or nine months in Captain John Sedgwick's Company Colonel Benjamin Hinman's Regiment and was in the siege of St. Johns; from June 1776 until January 1, 1777 in Captain Edward Rogers' Company Colonels Gay and Selah Heart's Regiment and was in the retreat from Long Island; from the spring of 1777 until January 1, 1778 in Captain Edward Rogers' Company Colonel Enos' Regiment and was in an engagement at Compo; in the fall of 1778 three months in Captain Jesse Buel's Company. He also served two months under Captain Kettle at the time the British burned the military store at Peekskill. 
After the Revolution he moved to New York State and resided in various places in that State until 1800 when he moved to Camden, Oneida County, New York, where he lived until 1828 or 1829 when he moved to Richland, Oswego County, New York.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 24, 1832, at which time he was living in Richland, New York. 
In 1835 it was stated that he lived alternately with his children in Richland, New York, where he had two sons, their names not given, and in Camden, New York.
Very truly yours,

Sir,
Mr. Ichabod Brown of this town recd. your communication to him under date of July 20, '35 stating that the payment of his pension would be suspended until he obtained some proof of his service in Capt. Longwick's Company.  At Mr. Browns request I have written to the Comptroller of the State of Connecticut and enclose herein his Certificate, which I trust in this case will be satisfactory; if so, I suppose you will inform either him or me.
Mr. Brown is a very respectable old man whose word would be disputed by no one well acquainted with him, and I presume he has stated nothing relative to his revolutionary services but what he verily believes is the truth

In relation to the case of Ichabod Brown, whose Pension has been suspended.  In your communication to me of the 4th of Dec. last, you stated, that "the further consideration of this case is therefore suspended until the evidence in the case of Mr. Patterson shall have been received".
I take the liberty, Sir, to inquire whether this evidence has been received, and whether Mr. Brown can now be permitted to draw his Pension.  He is anxious to receive it, and I feel very confident that if you get the whole truth respecting his services that you will allow him the whole amt. mentioned in his certificate.

I certify that on examination for Ichabod Brown, I find as follows:

Schuyler" as an account of the discharge and dates of the several companies in Genl Woosters & Colo. Hinmans Regt. the name "Ichabod Brown ^private Genl Schyler" as belonging to Capt.

Sedgwick as belonging to the Regt. of Colo. Hinman--and in a more detailed acct. accompanying the same, shewing the manner of the above settlement, among other pay Rolls mentioned is that of Capt. John Sedgwicks--the gross amt. of which is £1555.17.6.  This last document is certifyed by Genl. Schuyler as the "mode of settlement &c. campaign of 1775 &c.--Northern Department."

Wadsworth commanded the reinforcement which marched to N York, and that among his officers were ^Colo. Fisher Esq--Lt. Colo. Selah Hart-- and Capt. Edward Rogers--and were raised

Roger Eno ^ Colo. John Ely--And among the the [sic] officers were Major John Davenport and Capt. Edward Rogers.
I also certify that in "Hasketts Receipts" under head of "Expense of Troops stationed at Greenwich &c" is the name of Capt. Edward Rogers.--the entry is dated Jany. 17. 1778, and opposite the name is carried out £1.109.3.10 "Specie Value".  And in same book is the name "Lt. Ichabod Brown New London alarm £17.14.1"--12 May 1777.
I also certify that there is on the Books of the late Pay Table Office" an acct. with Cap. John Sedgwich (commencing May 1775 and ending Jany. 1776) as belonging to Hinmans Regt. in which acct. are sundry entries, amounting in all ["on each" crossed out] to £1636.0.6 of Debt & same sum of Crdt.--among the charges is--"To Cash pd.

Sir,
From the press of other business I was unable sooner to answer yours of 8 Inst.  But after a thorough search have been able to make a certificate, which I believe will secure Mr. Brown his pension; the main part of his service being substantiated by the only evidence now to be obtained, as they well know at the War Department, there are few pay rolls here for any year subsequent to 1775.
