In statement of my ["service" lined through] Revolutionary services, performed  during that war at the several places and stations in which I have se[xx] I was brought up by Col. Peter Ten Broeck of the town of Rhinebeck in Dutchess County & State of New York from the eight year of my age & he being a friend to the cause of the revolution was elected a member of our state convention and was  appointed a Brigadier General of the militia of Dutchess County and through his influence I presume I was appointed Quarter Master of the Regiment in which we resided where of Morris Graham Esqr was Colonel and in the year 1776 in the month of May or beginning of June the Militia was called out on an alarm on the occasion of the British Commander having sent up the North River two ships of war which I saw at anchor in Peekskill Bay in plain sight of fort Montgomery and we remained there some days which I cannot exactly estimate it may have been two weeks, when we were discharged. The next was a call on the regiment of which I was Quarter Master and turned out and went with that part that could be controuled by the officers, (a great number of them being tories refused to go) and marched down to Westchester County. On a review of the whole we were consolidated into two companies. The supernumary officers were discharged. I remained as Quarter Master under the command of Major Nicholas Fish who was then stationed there. In this service I saw the blood of two British light horse flow who were killed at Williams corner near Bronks ["ferry" lined out] River and within 3 or 4 miles of fort Independence our party was commanded by Col. Hendrick Van 
Rensaelaer of Albany County and Major Nicholas Fish of New York and we took two horses with their accoutrements four escaped by light but it was said that all died of their wounds they received in this affray. Our time of service was 6 or 7 weeks according to the best of my recollection, and I believe the above mentioned service was performed in the latter part of 1776 & beginning of 1777. I then returned home and found the General my friend and patron lying in his sick bed with the camp fever, as it was then called. I was taken before I got home and on my arrival, I was immediately confined to my bed and was brought very low but yet permitted to ["live to this day" lined out] be raised again through the goodness of my Heavenly Father & permitted to live to this day and relate the account. My third service was in the year 1777 in the month of October after the British took fort Montgomery and sailed up the North River and destroyed and burnt Kingston in Ulster County I was then with the Militia in the town of Rhinebeck at the ferry where were gathered a small scattering part of our regiment. The enemy landed a small force one mile south of the ferry, A small party of our country's friends went to meet them They then retreated on board of their fleet. On the west side of
Page 29

of the River the British ["they" lined through] marched to Kingston and burnxx every house in it but one, and all the houses from the village to the landing and at the landing several vessels in the [torn paper] creek They sailed up the river burning a number of {torn paper] on both sides of the river and up as far North as the Mansion House of the Honourable Chancellor Livingston and his worth mother widow of Judge Livingston and burnt all their buildings. The buildings belonging to the widow of the late Brigadier General Ten Broeck were also burnt which was my home at this time. I was with the militia when General Putnam arrived with a reinforcement and after a short halt ordered out a party of about 60 men to recoinnoitre the River Tey wanting a guide I offered my services as a volunteer and was accepted I went on with them as far North as the residences of the aforesaid Widow & Chancellor Livingston and found all their buildings in flames and almost demolished We halted on the bank in the rear of the buildings and marched down when in sight the Enemy fired two cannon shot upon us but to no effect and from the bank we returned the fire on a Galley which lay near the shore and give them the second volley while they slipped their cable & moved out of our reach in the river report says that the Capt of the Galley was killed after searching for straglers and not finding any we returned back to 
Rhinebeck flatts & reported to the General when the enemy retired I returned to my destroyed home to save what was left This service was short After our state ["was" lined out] government was organized and a new militia roll was issued ["and" lined out] I received no appointment I became exempt from military duty of which there were many it was deemed necessary by a law of the state to embody those not exempt by age into companies to be commanded by officers of their choice. In the company that I was located Col. Isaac Bloom was elected Captain There was a call for one third of the Militia & exempts, also in in the fall of 1778 or 1779 to serve three months in which by lot I was to serve the first of three months & then to be relieved by my class mates which month I served under the command of Capt Isaac Bloom and were encamped in the town of Fishkill about 3 or 4 miles north of the highlands and were discharged at the end of the first month & returned home and there remained until May 1780 when I was appointed without my knowledge a Lieutenant in a regiment raised by a law of the state for the protection of the frontiers commanded by Colonel Albert Paulding Esqr and called 
into actual service on the third day of May 1780 by General orders from his excellency the Governor the date of my Commission 
notwithstanding as will appear ["on" lined out] by an order on the margin of
my commission which I yet have in my possession, I was placed
as Lieutenant in a company commanded by Capt. Henry Pawling
to

xxx which John Van Deusen Esqr was also attached as Lieut xxx master of said regiment. Our company by order of our xxmandant was stationed at a place called Great Shandaken 
on the frontiers of Ulster County (there were three men taken out of the company to fill up the state regiments in the continental army) We ["fortified ourselves Barri" lined out] were stationed in a picket fort round the dwelling house of one Longyear There we remained during this term of service scouring the frontiers ["as far" lined out] to the North along the Blue Mountains as far as the south bounds of Albany County & westward to a place called 
Poghkatocking to a settlement on the East branch of Delaware River as we were ordered by our commandant there was nothing remarkable occurred excepting a surprise by our 
["skulping" lined out] skulking enemy ["of a" lined out] on a party about 30 men by our 
company on returning from the aforesaid branch of the Delaware they were fired on by the enemy & one soldier by the name of John Rider was killed and scalped our party. received no more injury ["we returne" lined out] our party returned the fire and several shots were exchanged They then returned to the fort We heard no more of the enemy after searching for them. This term of service was eight months as near as I now reccollect and were discharged I returned to my former home where I remained until the spring of 1781 Then I was again appointed Lieutenant under Col Commandant ["Rensaeler" lined out] Pawling & placed under the same Capt Pawling as formerly and after being mustered the company was divided in two parties and by our commandant ordered to take two stations that part that was commanded by our captain was stationed at a place called Yough Cripple Bush in Marbletown The remaining part were placed under my command and was ordered to take my station at a place called Shokan on the farm and in the house of Hendrick Crispell where we built a picket fort and a log house for our protection and habitation and my orders were to scour the frontiers constantly to see if any of the enemy were lurking about us. Our rout extended to the North about sixteen miles West 12 or 14 miles in this campaign The frontiers on my route were not disturbed and after serving between eight or nine months we were discharged and I returned to my former home and there remained in the service of the Widow Ten Broeck.

[xx] was born on Rhinebeck flatts in the town of Rhinebeck in the County of Dutchess ["County" lined out] and State of New York on the 30th day of March 1758 where my father was minister of the Dutch Reformed Church, under his care I remained until I was a little over eight years old when by his mental derangement It became necessary for the family to be separated. I was then taken under the charge of Colonel Peter Ten Broeck & his Lady who were my sponsers for my Baptismal vows, under whose care and protection I remained until the death of the then Brigadier General Ten Broeck who died in the month of March 1776 I still remained with his widow where I made my home when not otherwise engaged until her decease which was sometime in the  month of January 1783 and then remained on the farm until the 1st of May 1784 in the service of General Robert Van Rensaelaer of the town of Claverack County of Albany. I then removed to Staatsburgh adjoining the North River where I then remained until 1795. The first part of the time I sailed a sloop in the North River The remainder of the time I followed farming and fishing In the spring of the year 1795 I removed on a farm which I purchased of Mr David Delamater of Kingston situated in the town of Marlborough & county of Ulster there I remained as a farmer until the year 1800 within this term I was appointed an Assessor under the act for Levying a direct tax under the United States law In which I represented the town of Marlborough in the Assessment district comprehending three towns Newpaltz, Shawangunk & Marlborough also all of the county of Ulster which district was represented by Cornelius Bruyn Esqr of Shawangunk as principal assessor of said district. In the year 1800 Iremoved to the town of New Paltz adjoining the North River where I built in Crum Elbow & kept a store & sailed a sloop carrying lumber to New York and some part of the time I followed farming in the year 1805 I sold out and removed to Staatsburgh town of Clinton now called Hyde Park and purchased a farm of the heirs of Peter De Witt on which I resided until the year 1810 I sold and removed into Saratoga County in the town now called Clifton Park where I followed farming four years and removed in Malta in 1814 where I followed farming four years in 1818 I removed to Charlton where I now reside following the occupation of farming

Dutchess County ss ⎬ Cornelius I Elmendorph of Red Hook in the County & State aforesaid   being duly sworn says that he is well acquainted with Henry V Hoevenbergh of the County of Saratoga in the State aforesaid & has known him since he was a boy - That he was a native of the town of Rhinebeck in the County of Dutchess - And this deponent further says that he this deponent was first Lieutenant in Captain Van Ness company & in Colonel Graham's Regiment in the latter part of the year 1776 or in the beginning of the year 1777 & served in the County of Westchester-- while there the Regiment was consolidated into two companies by which means deponent was placed in a company commanded by Captain Peter Westfall. And deponent was in service in the aforesaid companies as Lieutenant for about six weeks as near as he can recollect in the County of Westchester aforesaid. During this time deponent knows that Henry V. Hovenbergh aforesaid was an officer in the United States service and from the circumstances & incidents related by him deponent is convinced that he was in the same Regiment with deponent at the time  & place above mentioned although he does not distinctly recollect having seen him there - The incidents which  occurred there at that time & which are recollected both by the said Henry T. Hoevenbergh & by this deponent that while at a place called Williams the body of troops retreated under the command of Brigadier General Ten Brook & Scott. North ┃ as far as Ward's place about ten or twelve miles in the night in a severe snow storm. After this & as deponent thinks but a few days three or four companies were called out & went on a secret scout under Colonel Hendrick Van Rensselaer & Major Nicholas Fish. Among the rest deponent went-- They marched in the night as for as Valentines Orchard where it was supposed the British Picket guard was stationed - After recounoitering the house they found no guard was stationed there, they then went on to the Post Road at Williams & there secreted themselves in three parties in houses & waited for some British light horse which were expected-- a few

Hoevenbergh who both resided in Rhinebeck - General Ten Broeck died & the said Henry V. Hoevenburgh recovered- And this deponent further says that the general understanding & report was at the time of the Revolution that said Henry was an officer in the service of the United States and deponent believe him to be a man of veracity. And deponent says that he this deponent is Eighty years & one month old- Deponent further says that said Henry V.

I, Nicholas Bonesteel of the Town of Red Hook in the County of Dutchess, and State aforesaid, being duly sworn and say that he is well acquainted with Henry Van Schoonhoven of the County of Saratoga in the State aforesaid and has known him since was a boy, that he was a native of the Town of Rhinebeck in the County of Dutchess. And this deponent says that he served as a recruit in Capt. Daniel Van Ness’ Company in Colonel Graham’s Regiment in the year 1776 in the Month of July at Peekskill in the County of Westchester in consequence of an alarm occasioned by the British Vessels lying in Peekskill Bay, and this deponent well remembers that Henry Van Schoonhoven’s advance was an officer in that service and his length of service according to the best of my recollection was two or three weeks.
This deponent also well remembers that in the Latter part of 1776 or in the Beginning of 1777 that the Militia were called out; that in consequence of the disaffection of the men belonging to this Regiment, they were Obliged to stop and take measures to compel them to march with those that were willing to go and it was thought advisable by the officers to call the assistance of the Militia from the County of Ulster to assist in forcing these men to go.
This call was made on the Militia in consequence of fulfilling the places of those men whose line service had expired on the Frontier in the County of Westchester. The line of march from Rhinebeck to Peekskill and thence to North Castle, thence to White Plains, thence to Williams near King’s Bridge, thence returned to White Plains to Harlem.

…wards, and then a consolidation of the Regiment took place into two companies. The company this deponent was then placed in was commanded by Capt. Peter McFall and the subalterns were John Herman, Cornelius Shumaker as Lieutenants, and Ensign Andrew P. Yeaman. The other by Capt. Mead of the Town of North East and was thereby detached from this Regiment. These two companies were placed under the command of Major Nicholas Fish and this deponent well remembers that Henry Van Schoonhoven was a Quarter Master.

The length of the service was, according to the best of his recollection, from the beginning to the time of our discharge, about six or seven weeks. During this time we were called out to Valentine Orchard near Fort Independence under the command of Col. Frederick Van Rensselaer of the County of Albany and Major Fish. We then marched to Williams House and there settled ourselves in three houses to obstruct the road the British Light Horse took to disturb our advanced Guard. And about sunrise, they made their appearance—six in number—and one of their Rode up and around the house of Williams where Col. Van Rensselaer and Major Fish was in and sung out Halls. Col. Van Rensselaer opened the door and the man was shot and killed. The remainder fled, our men turned out, fired and killed an officer, and then we returned back to our headquarters at Ward’s until we were discharged.

And this deponent believes said Henry Van Schoonhoven to be a man of truth and veracity and that he, the deponent, in the month of November, seventy-nine years of age, and declares further that Henry Van Schoonhoven has brought up in General Ten Broeck’s family and remained with him to this time and still remains so.
