      On this fourteenth day of August in the year 1832
personally appeared before Munson Buel Esquire, one of the Judges of the court of Common pleas in and for said County-- John Beach a resident of East Kill in the town of Hunter County of Greene, and State of New York, aged Seventy five years, 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 entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated-.
      That I was born in the town of Goshen in
the County of Litchfield and State of Connecticut in April, in the year 1757, agreeable to the statements of my parents, for I have no knowledge of there being any reckord of the event-
       In the year 1775, then living in said Goshen
in August, I enlisted for a four months tour to
the Northward, I traveled through Sheffield, Albany, Fort Edward, Lake George, Tyconderoga, down the Lake Champlain, in a boat to Crownpoint, & to near St. Johns, (that being then besieged) passed it and went 
to Laprarie, was stationed there and at Longuiel, while there the Fort at St. John's Surrendered and
Page 4

Montreal was warranted, and I was discharged
about the 20th of November, then returned by
the way of St Johns and up the lake to Crown Point, then through Vermont by Bennington and home; my officers were as far as recollected, Col Warner of the Regiment of the Green Mountain boys, Captain Heman Allen, Lieutenant Joshua Stanton, the Sergeants were Seth Lockwood, Andrew More Samuel
Pettibone and .... Calhoun, I had no written discharge to my knowledge--
      The next year, 1776 I enlisted again about
the first of July for five months, Marched about
the 20th July from Goshen, traveled through Lenox, Williamstown, Bennington and to Skeesborough (now White hall) then two companys went up Woodcreek to Fort Ann,
I went with these companys, Spent some time in cutting roads from Fort Ann to Fort Edward, then went back to Skeensborough and down the lake to Mount Independence and joined the regiment again, was discharged about 25th November, then went back to Goshen by way of lake George, Greenbush and Sheffield-
my officers were, General Schuyler & Benedict
Arnold, Col Heman Swift, Capt Thadeus Lacy-
Lieutenant James Watson- Sergeants Hurlbut
and .... Lacy- had no written discharge, was absent about five months from home.
     Two or three years after the last above mentioned tour, I cannot tell which. I was drafted for a two
Page 5

months tour.  To go to the "lines". Should think
about June I marched with the company through Litchfield, Danbury, Norwalk, and to Horseneck, was Stationed there- The business of the regiment was to watch the British and Cowboys, and keep them from driving off 
cattle &c- while here we were called out to intercept the enemy with a drove of cows, and had a skirmish, one was killed and two wounded, having served my tour out, was discharged and went back to Goshen 
the same route we went. officers were, Col Bezaleel Beebe- Capt. .... Bradley both of Litchfield Ct-
      My fourth tour was, I think, the year after
the other.  This time I was hired as a substitute to take the place of Earl Stanley, who was drafted in the Militia Light horse, to go to the "lines" for two months.  I went with the company, about the 18th of June, traveled through Woodbury, Danbury-& to King Street & White plains.  my principle business 
was to wait on a Capt. guard Stationed at Mamaroneck on the sound and to patrol the country to the British lines towards Kingsbridge, when my time was out, I was dismissed and went home to Goshen. My Col was .... Sheldon of Litchfield. Lieut. was .....Judson of Woodbury.
      My fifth tour was a year or two after the
last above mentioned. I was called out on an alarm went off in a hurry, about June, went through Newtown, Danbury, and into N. York State to Fredericksburgh.  Stayed there a few days, the alarm was
Page 6

over, we were discharged, and went home.  the
officers were, Capt Miles Norton, Lieut Cyprian
Collins.  
      In all these tours I served my time out,
was honourably discharged, I think I had a written discharge in one case, but I have no knowledge at this day what has become of it or by whom given.  After my tours were Served out, I had to make my way home as well as I could, in one or two cases 
I drew rations for a part of the journey home.  
      From the period of the rendering the foregoing services, I have resided in the towns of Goshen and Norfolk, County of Litchfield and State of Connecticut untill April in the year 1828. and since that time I have resided at Eastkill county of Greene and State of 
New York- and that I have no documenting
evidence of my services.
      That he hereby relinquishes every claim
whatever to a pension or an annuity except the
present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State.

Washington, D. C.

Dear Sir:

      Reference is made to your letter in which you request 
the Revolutionary War record of John Beach of Connecticut,
who filed claim for pension in Greene County, New York.  
       The data which follow were obtained from papers on file
in pension claim, S.12200, based upon service of John Beach 
in the Revolutionary War.
      John Beach was born in April,1757, in Goshen, Litchfield
County, Connecticut, names of his parents are not shown.
      While residing in Goshen, Connecticut with his father, 
John Beach enlisted in August 1775, served four months as 
private in Captain Heman Allen's company, Colonel Warner's
Regiment of Green Mountain Boys; enlisted about July 1, 1776, 
served five months as private in Captain Thaddeus Lacey's

two months as private in Colonel Sheldon's Connecticut regiment;
enlisted in June, 1781, served about ten days as private in

in the town of Hunter, Greene County, New York, where he was 
living when he was 
allowed pension on his application executed

      In 1832, soldier's brothers, Francis aged seventy-six years, and

      In 1832 one Israel Beach stated in Ontario County, New York

     I, Israel Beach do hereby certify, that John Beach of Goshen, Litchfield County 
and state of Connecticut, in the year AD. 1775, aged about eighteen years, inlisted 
as a soldier in the revolutionary war, for the term of five months for the 
northern department of war. Then conducted by general Montgomery in
order to take St Johns at or near the lower end of Lake Champlain, and 
which we effected late in the fall, together with Chamblee, Montreal Laparara &c 
I cannot of ascertain the identical officer under whom the said John Beach
inlisted. Asaph Hall of Goshen was a Lieut. in that army.  John Watson 
of Canaan was a Captain. Titus Watson of Norfolk a lieut. I am knowing 
to the inlistment of the said John Beach, Jacob Doud, our near neighbour, and their 
marching away together and I have not the least doubt but that they served
this term of duty fully and faithfully.
      In 1776, in the summer two regiments were raised in Connecticut to assist the
army at Ticonderoga, then under the command of General H. Gates; the said
John Beach inlisted for four months under Captain Lacy of Roxbury in 
Litchfield County. James Watson of Norfolk Lieut-General Swift of Cornwall 
commanded the two regiments, which encamped on Mount Independence
near general Waterbury's brigade myself was a soldier at this time there on a one year inlistment. The time of those two tours of duty we fully served
      In 1777 and 1778, the said John Beach was of necessity detained at home, after which
he performed two tours of militia service of six weeks each, the last one as a
horseman.  I am well knowing to his engagements in these two tours, when
he marched away for this service and when he returned. I am fully
convinced that he performed considerable more service in that war as a
substitute, but cannot clearly of ascertain it.

Dear sir;
       Please send to me a photostat copy of the story of John Beach, 
of how he started with Col Warener of the Green Mountain Boys 
in 1775 and served in the Vermont territory during the balance of 
that year and during 1776 and then his father made him stay home 
to work in the "flowering mill".
      If you will please tell me the expense of obtaining this I will remit it.  Please quote me a price on four or five copies of this story.
Yours truly, G. B. Beach

five cents extra for the certification of each set of

      The number of pages to be copied is ten. 
      The proper amount should be forwarded to this
