Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the "Act of Congress" passed June 7th, 1832.

State of New York:
Dutchess County; Js:  On this sixth day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty three personally appeared in open Court before the Court of Common Pleas in and for said County - now sitting, Daniel C. Bartlett a resident of the Town of Armenia in the County of Dutchess and State of New York aged seventy-six [age underlined] year 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 7th, 1832.
    That he was born in the Town of Reading, County of Fairfield, and State of Connecticut in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and fifty six, as appears by a record now in the Office of the Clerk of the Town of Reading aforesaid.  That the Family record in which the time of his birth was entered has been lost.  Thus he entered the service of the United States at Reading aforesaid [last three words inserted] as a volunteer in 1775 under Zalman Read as Captain, Ezekiel Sandford as Lieutenant in Colonel ______     Waterburys Regiment and remembers as these associated with him in service, Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Whitney, Captain Noble Benedict & Captain ________ Smith, thence he marched to Standford [sic], thence to Horse Neck, thence to the City of New York and remained in barracks about a fortnight, thence to Harlem and remained a few weeks on guard, thence by vessel to Albany, thence a few miles to a place called Half Moon and encamped & remembers as these associated with him in service Generals Philip Schuyler and Richard Montgomery & Col  ______ Cheeseman, thence after a few days marched to Fort William Henry on Lake George, thence after a few days to Ticonderoga & remembers as these associated with him in service Colonel Ethan Allen, thence after a few days by vessel to an Island in Lake Champlain, thence and landed near Fort St. Johns, thence driven back to said Island where General Schuyler was taken sick and left the army, thence and again landed in a swamp near Fort St. Johns and had an engagement with the advance of an Army
Page 8

of the British and Indians and drove them off. The enemy had eight killed and Major Henry and Capt ___ Mead wounded thence advanced and were engaged in almost continued skirmishes for about 35 days and until Fort St. Johns was taken, thence (leaving a small guard in possession of the Fort) to Montreal, where Colonel Ethan Allen was taken prisoner. That the Americans took possession of  Montreal [word in fold of page] your applicant was verbally discharged after a service of six months and returned to Reading in the State of Connecticut.
   That he again entered the service of the United States as a volunteer in October [word inserted] 1777 at reading aforesaid under Isaac Hilliard as Captain and _______Peat as Lieutenant in Colonel Canfield's regiment and remembers as there associated with him in service Captain Zalman Read and Ensign Nicoll marched thence to Saw Pitts in the State of New York where he was engaged on guard, in scouting parties and in frequent skirmishes with the enemy until discharged after a service of three months. That he there received a written discharge signed by Colonel Canfield and has since lost it.  That he returned thence to Reading afterward where he remained until the year 1801 where he has since continued to reside.
    That he has no documentary evidence of his service, nor can produce any discharge from the service and knows of no person whose testimony he can procure who can testify to his service other than Joseph Jackson whose affidavit (taken by William Sandford a Justice of the Peace in the County of Fairfield and State of Connecticut and duly certified by Thomas Osborne Clerk of the  County Court of Fairfield aforesaid  [last word inserted] under the seal thereof) is hereto annexed. That your Applicant claims a pension as a private soldier for the full service of nine months as above set forth and refers to Joel Brown, William Fascon and Thomas Payne as individuals who can testify to his character for the truth and veracity and as to his reputation of having been a soldier of the revolution. And your Applicant further states on his oath as aforesaid that he is one of a Congregation of Presbyterians whose
Page 9

Church is located in his immediate neighborhood - That for some time past they have no settled Clergyman and are at this time without any.  That he has no acquaintance with clergyman of other denominations located near him and therefore produces the Hon. Abraham Bochee Member elect to the Congress of the United States in the place of Edmund H Pendleton from the County of Dutchess and Eli S. Jarvis one of the Deputy Sheriffs of the same County to make the certificate required by the War Department, which certificate is hereto annexed.
        And your Applicant 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.
