Personally appeared before the undersigned a Justice of the Peace for Chittenden County Elon Lee of Jericho in said County to me known as the same Elon Lee, who made his declaration
before the Honorable County Court for Chittenden County on the 28th day of March 1833 who being duly sworn, doth make the following additional declaration  - that in the first day of May 1777 I enlisted as a Drummer in Capt John Warner's company in Col [illegible] Regt of Vermont Troops for six month and served until the first day of November 1777 head quarters were at Pawlet,-- during this service I was in Benington Battle on the 16th of August
Gen Stark, commanded.-- after the battle we were marched to Fort Edward, but was finally discharged at Pawlet

On the first of April 1778. (according to the best of my recollection), I volunteered or enlisted into Captain Hutchins Company of Vermont troops, as a drummer we joined what was called Whitcomb's Rangers at Rutland and Major Whitmer appointed me Drum Major. --I 
continued in the service as a drum major until the first of December when I was discharged at Rutland.  - a garrison was kept during this time at Rutland and there were several companies
stationed there among which I recollect the names Captain Sawyer and Goodwin who commanded companies. (the service was scouting and watching the enemy. I distinctly recollect during this service of going with Lieutenant Isaac Clark with a flag of truce to Lake Champlain -  we went on board of a British vessel called the Moria, laying at Crown Point, where we saw General Carleton who commanded on land, and captain Steel who commanded the vessel. 

In some of the first days of September I enlisted as a Drummer into Captain Allen Parmeley's company of Vermont troops, and served until some of the first days of December 1779. our company were engaged during this service in scouting, and our head quarters was at
Castleton Fort
Page 36

In some of the first day of August 1780 I enlisted as a Drummer into Captain Sutton's Company
Col Ebenezer Walbridge regiment of Vermont Troops we marched to Whitehall immediately after enlisting where we joined some New York troops, and I was forthwith appointed by Col Walbridge a drum major. I continued the four month, and we were dismissed on one of the
first days of December -  I recollect that the British were stationed at Ticonderoga, and I went
with one Lieut Crooks, with a flag  of truce to the enemy while there an exchange of prisoner took place,

About the 20th of August in 1781. I enlisted or volunteered as a minute man into Captain Eli Bronson's company marched to Castleton, when I remained one month engaged as a Drummer
- and while at Castleton I again went with Lieutenant Isaac Clark with a flag of truce to the enemy, and we were absent about three week being obliged to wait for return from Quebec.

In 1782, and I think it was in the fall of that year about the first of October, an alarm came that 
that Sir John Johnson with his Indian allies had come into the state of New York. I engaged as a 
Drummer in Captain Lemuel Mosley's company and went with him to Fort Edward, we were gone three weeks. I recollect that Lieutenant Jonathan Hoyt was with us.-- It is not in my power
to prove any other testimony of my service then what accompanied my first declaration I never received any commission or written discharge. I make the following abstract or recapitulation of my services

In 1777 I served as a Drummer Six months
In 1778 I see as a Dum Major eight months
In 1779 Jr as a Drummer three months
In 1780 I serve as a Drum Major Four months
In 1781 I served as a drummer one month and three weeks
