St Lawrence County ss. 
On this fifteenth day of October 1832 personally appeared before the Honourable John Fine first Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in & for the County of St Lawrence in the State of New York, Immanuel Doke of Hammond in the County of St Lawrence & state aforesaid aged seventy four years the third day of April next, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of congress, passed June 7, 1832: That he enlisted in the army of the United States in the year 1779 or 1780 at Ballston in the County of Saratoga in the state of New York, where he resided with his parents, in a company Commanded by Captain Job Wight of Stillwater in said County in a regiment Commanded by Col Willet. At the time that Declarant enlisted one Jesse Hubbell was a Lieutenant & one Thornton was also a Lieutenant. Declarant enlisted as first Sargent & served as such during these years for which time this declarant enlisted
Page 4

Declarent joined the Regiment, or several companies of it at Johnstown. From Johnstown this declarent went with his company to fort Nellis, now in the town of Manheim in the County of Herkimer Declarent remained one summer & past, if not all of the sping & autumn, at said Fort Nellis - From fort Nellis Declarent went to fort Herkimer & from hence to fort Stanwix, (now Rome) & remained there some time-- while Declarent was on an Island there & the water of the river rose so high as to compel the soldiers to leave there & go ashore -- when they got ashore they built a block house  & from thence Declarent went to fort Hirkemer. Declarant was during this inlistment at Fort Plain & at a small place called fort Schuyler. Declarant cannot cannot state of which of the last named places he was at first -- Declarent well recollects that when he was at one time at fort Herkimer a reinforcement said to have been a part of a Rhode Island regiment joined the part of Col Willets Regiment to which declarent belonged & went from thence to fort Stanwix & there arranged to go to Oswego -- Declarent believes th[illegible- these men joined?]
Page 5

company of Col. Willets regement that started for Oswego -- he cannot recollect how many there were of the Rhode Island reinforcement.  Declarent well recollects that this was in the dead of winter. There were Indian guides employed - one he thinks was called Capt John. They travelled several days through the snow, as they supposed, towards Oswego. A great number, said have been five hundred, persons went ahead on snow shoes - that instead of leading the army to Oswego, the guides lead us into a swamp about nine miles, it was afterwords ascertained, from Oswego. After it was found out that we were misled fires were built to warm us, when it was ascertained that a great number were frozen considerably -- a great many died & one company, mostly coloured [?] persons nearly all died - when we started on our return to fort Stanwix our provisions were nearly all exhausted & the last five days before we arrived at fort Stanwix we had no provisions except dead horse flesh, or something of that kind.
Page 6

A in great number of persons died on this expedition- At Oswego there lay some British forces under common of Maj. Ross. Two of the Indian guides were supposed to have perished. When on our return near Oneida Lake Declarent was ordered to see to setting & taking care of the guard. After setting the guard declarent saw some more on top of the Hill, but as we were exposed no noise was made, lest the enemy should discover us in our reduced situation, for if they had done so we could have been easily taken. Declarent afterwards learned that the British Sargent of the guard saw us but hid himself behind an elm tree & did not communicate to his friends what he had seen, & that soon after he & a fifer deserted & joined us at fort Herkimer. This declarent further says that the British sent a flag of truce then & tried to get these two deserters, but Col. Willet would not give them up. After leaving Oneida Lake we went to fort Stanwix & from thence to fort Herkimer where we staid the till near fall -- the last
Page 7

work we did there was to build Block house. After it was completed we dug up the body of Capt. McKean who had been killed by the Indians & buried his body at the step of the door & then called the building fort McKean. The timber which composed this building was got out & drawn [?] principally under the direction of Declarent. Veeder & Smith were contractors to supply our regiment with provisions & [illegible] one Skinner acted as commissary. While at Fort Herkimer Skinner got hurt by the falling of a building & he then requested to declarent go into the store house & act as commissary & declarent did so until said Skinner got able to attend to the duty himself. Declarant went to pilot for Genl. Washington from fort Herkimer to Rome in the night [interlined]. Declarent went with the regiment of the close of the war to Schenectady & assisted in collecting the arms, when the companies were disbanded. Declarent then assisted in taking the arms on from Schenectady to Albany where they were put into a store house & deponent thinks they were put into the goverment [sic] war store house.
Page 8

Declarent returned to Schenectady & was finally discharged by Maj. Tierce, who then had command of the Companies that were marched to Schenectady - Declarant thinks that at this time Col Willet had gone south to Albany or New York - He was not with the regiment much of the time after the return of the army from Oswego. During this service one Plinny [sic] Moore was Adjutant. This disbandment of our Regiment was after peace was proclaimed & we had only about three months more time to serve when peace was proclaimed. Declarant cannot state in connected order, the places where he was during this service any further that he has done. 
Declarent was born in Charlestown in the State of Rhode Island in the year 1759 & he has a record of his age in his family bible at his own residence & he has no other record -- & that he resided with his parents at Ballston in the state of New York when he enlisted & he resided there after his return from the army & then declarent went to Charlton in the same state to reside
Page 9

At Charlton declarent married - declarents father was a clergyman firstly at Balston then of Charlton. From Charlton declarent went to New Hartford & from thence about 1802 declarent went into Canada & continued there until about the month of June 1832. Declarent did make arrangement about four years since to come to Hammond to reside & did actually purchased a farm to remove onto, but in consequence of sickness declarent gave up his purchase & was not able to come over. Declarent intended to have moved to his present residence in Hammond last year but he was again taken down ill & did not have his house until this summer & he is now so ill that he believes he will not be able to attend a Court of Record in this County to make application in open Court for a pension under the law of congress of  1832.
Declarent received, he believes, a written discharge from Major Tierce which discharge was destroyed by fire with his house & effects in Charlton within a few years after he was discharged.
Page 10

Deponent knows Luther Lamphear & Orin Brown of Hammond who can attest to the character & reputation of declarant. Declarant has no proof of his services, execpt the affidavit of Solomon Uker hereunto annexed, further than he has stated, that he is now aware of. 
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity, except the present & declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state.

Sir:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 16105, it appears that Emmanuel Doake (pensioned as Doke) was born April 3, 1759 at Charlestown , Rhode Island. 
While residing with his parents, whose names are not given, at Ballston, Saratoga County, New York, he enlisted in 1779 or 1780 and served about three years as first- sergeant, sergeant-major- quartermaster-sergeant, and Assistant commissary in Captain Job Wright's Company, Colonel Willet's New York Regiment. 
He was allowed pension on his application executed October 15, 1832, at which time he was living at Hammond, St. Lawrence County, New York. 
He married after the war at Charlton, New York; the name of his wife is not given, and there are no details as to marriage. He stated that his father was a clergyman at
Page 18

Ballston and also at Charlton. No further family data. 
In order to obtain the date of the last payment of pension, the name of person paid, and possibly the date of death of the Revolutionary War pensioner, Immanuel Doake or Doke (S. 16105), you should apply to the Records Division, General Accounting Office, Washington, D.

For the one year he served as a first Sargeant, & that he served as Sargeant Major for four months & that he served as a Quarter Master Sargeant for three months & as an Assistant Commissary two months & that the rest & residue of the term of three years he acted as a first Sargeant. Deponent further says that he acted between the times that he served as Sergeant Major, Quarter Master Sargeant or Assistant Commissary, he acted as first Sargeant & that he was acting as a first Sargeant when he was discharged. Deponent says that his Sargeants warrant was destroyed long since by five when deponents house was burned. Deponent cannot state any more particularly his service than he has done
Page 41

Deponent further says that one Plinny Moore was Adjutant of the regiment when Deponent served under Col. Willet. Deponent further says that he periods served at other periods during the war which are not stated, & deponent has omitted the statement of the same as unnecessary [?] to procure his pension.
