Regiment. He enlisted in February 1778, and served three years
as a mechanic in Captain William Siser's Company, Colonel Jeduthan
Baldwin's Regiment. He was injured while in service, but did not
state how, nor give the date.

He was allowed pension on his application executed April 21,
1818, at which time he was aged about sixty-seven years and a
