Agreeable to your request, the duly following is the Statement of the Military Service of Enos Goble, is copied from that made by his widow, living in 1840 in Fairfield Columbiana County Ohio, Abraham Dildine, a brother of the widow by Samuel Dildine & some others
about April 1776
He first entered the service for one month going about April 1 - 1776 to NY city but no  names of Office are given. His 2nd service is Stated to have been from Hardwick about 
June 1 1776 as a volunteer in the Compy of Capt John Sowers or Seward in the regt. of Col. Ephraim Martin, Marched to NY City, but soon
ordered over to Long Island where he was participated engaged in the battle of XXXX

the Interior of New Jersey where encamped & he was there discharged about the first of Dec. 1776 - Although the widow claims he was a Lt  in this Capts Service, yet there is no other testimony of his have been an officer of any grade in that tour of duty -

The Capt being absent to took command of the co during the expedition
The militia of the State was generally classified & perhaps a compy or regt. would according to the number of each would be divided into 2 to 4 class that alternated there turns of Service as guards, local garrisons or on alarm form Indians & foraging parties of the enemy, so that it is difficult to determine  what was the actual service rendered [illegible] the Sstatements &c
