Plainfield September 1833
On this    day of September 1833 personally appeared Thomas Healy of Sterling in said Windham County aged 93 years and being duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following supplementary declaration in order to obtain the benefits of the Act of Congress passed June 7th 1832
That in the month of May 1776 he resided East Greenwich in the State of Rhode Island at which time he was called into the service of the United States in a company under the command of Capt Whitemarsh and marched to South Kingston to guard the shores of the Narraganset Bay in the State of Rhode Island and by agreement the company to which he belonged were to serve alternately the one half to serve for fifteen days and the other half for fifteen days and that between the first of May and the first of December of 1776 he served five tours of service of half a month each or more at the following places at South Kingston two tours of at least a month each and he thinks one of a month in the months of May and September of 1776 at Wickford two tours of 1/2 a month each in June and August and for October or November at Point Judith one tour of fifteen days at least and he thinks for one month making a period of at least two and a half months between the 1st of May and the 1st of Dec 1776. Till the month of July 1776 he does not recollect who was Colonel of the regiment, but he knows that the regiment in what was then Kings County was in 1775 divided into two regiments there having been previous, but one regiment is said county. There was not much system till July 1776 when Colonel Dyer was appointed Colonel and Thomas Potter & Dyer Second Majors of the 2nd regiment during the aforesaid time of his service from 2nd July the company to which he belonged were under the command of Major Thomas Potter and he has no recollection of seeing Col Dyer in the service till after the expiration of the aforesaid service of two and one half months.

Making four months in 1777. He further states that in his first declaration he stated that the last aforesaid service was in Col. Potters Regiment. The reason of his said mistake was that Major Thomas Potter had command of the troops at the places where the last aforesaid services were performed, he now recollects that Thomas Potter was not appointed Colonel till some time afterward.
That in March 1778 he belonged to a company of Militia in Charlestown in the state of Rhode Island commanded by Capt. Amos Green in a Regiment commanded by Colonel Noyes. That in the month of May 1778 he served one month at Point Judith in said company, that the last of June & first of July he served 15 days at a place called South Ferry in South Kingston.

In the month of May he served half a month at Point Judith in said company. That he served one month at Boston Neck in August and September of 1780 making a period of two and one half month which he served in said Greens company in the year 1780.
That in April 1781 he served one month at Brinton's Neck on Rhode Island. That in the months of June & July he served one month at South Kingston and in the month of August he served twenty days at Brinton's Neck on Rhode Island where he was finally dismissed making a period of two months and twenty days service in said Greens company in the year 1781.
In all making in 1776 two and one half month
In 1777 four months
In 1778 four months
In 1779 five months
