The Amended declaration of Jeremiah Vincent
as taken under oath before Joseph Reed
one of the Justices of the peace in and for the County
of Saratoga N York on the 28th day of January AD 1838
I Jeremiah Vincent of the town of Halfmoon in the County of
Saratoga N. York on oath depose and say that the following
contains as minuet a detail of my services as I can present
having documents in my possession to refresh my mind as to 
most of the services. I here set forth set many of these are
not officially military such as were have heretofore been
transmitted together with my first declaration to the Secretary
I therefore make the following Statement,
In the year 1775 in the month of March Iwas ordered
out with a part of my company to go to Albany went and was
absent on this Expedition ten days and returned home orders from Col Jacobus Van Schoonhoven

In the same year above stated and in the month of September
I was again ordered to march with twenty three of my men to join
a detachment under the command of the above named Col
we marched to Schenectady from then crossed the River
a place now called Rosen Doll after a short stay at that
place we were dismissed and returned home on this tour I served
Eight days major Ezekiel Taylor commanded the detachment
after we united in one body

In the same year 1775 in November I was again ordered out
with a part of my company to join a detachment under the
command of Col Van Schoonhoven Marched to Ticonderoga
where he was stationed and remained there untill the first
of February 1776 during our stay we were engaged in fortifying
Page 11

and was then dismissed and returned home Ezekiel Taylor was
Majer
In the month of March 1776 I was again ordered out with a part of
my company to march against some tories and suspected persons
we [illegible] them to Albany and then returned as received our orders
from Lieut Col Gordon of the 12 Regt was absent on this
ton of duty twelve days

In the year 1776 in the month of September I was ordered out with
a detached portion of my company to march to Fort Edward
we marched to the place and there remained in Camp one month
and was then dismissed in this encampment there was said to be
five hundred militia- this tour is know by the Great alarm

And in the year 1776 the Year above named I was ordained out
on several Expeditions with my Company at short periods
to Albany in company with Captain John Vandenburgh Company
and I find that during the two campaigns one at Albany and Halfmoon
by order of Col Van Schoonhoven actions under the command
of Major Ezekiel Taylor from March to June twenty nine days

In the year 1776 from June to April 1777 I was ordered
out with a detachment of my company by name of Colonel
Jacobus Van Schoonhoven Major Ezekiel Taylor to the County
of Tryon now Montgomery N York to disarm Sir William
Johnson absent on this Expedition ten days

In the year 1777 from April 5th to August first I was
called out with the whole or a part of my company to fort
George and Fort Henry Stationed there from order
of the commander of the Regt under Major Ezekiel
Taylor the whole time I was in actual service at that
season was three months and over
Page 12

In giving this statment I have been enabled to do
more specifically from an examination of papers
in my possession and also from another circumstance
state more gratifying which is that at the time I made
my first declaration my bodily health was such
that my mind was much impaired since which
time my health has improved consequently my
mind more vigorous and as services done by me came to recollection I caused the same to be entered. I therefore
submit the foregoing statement of services to your honor
as substantially correct to the best of my knowledge
and belief having performed them in actual service in a
regularly embodied and organized company of Militia
of the State of New York I do verily believe I served
much longer than what is stated in my amended declaration
but by reason of old age and consequent loss of memory
I cannot swear positively to the precise length of my service
in every case but according to the best of my recollection and
belief I served not less than the periods mentioned below
and in the following grade for nine months and twenty
eight or nine days I served as a captain and for such  
I claim a pension

Sir,

The papers of Mrs Mary Vincent,
widow of Jeremiah Vincent, enclosed in your letter of the 10th
inst, have been examined and filed. The claimant's husband
it appears on a reexamination of his papers, was allowed a
pension upon insufficient evidence. It is alleged in his
declaration that he served about nine months as a Captain
in the N. York militia. The claim of an officer, according to the
rule applicable to similar cases, should be accompanied by his
commission, or record evidence of his appointment, or some on
documentary proof; but nothing of that description was produced.
If the claimants husband was appointed a Captain, evidence
of it may be had by application to the Secretary of State of
New York. The proof in regard to the claimant's marriage
is not satisfactory. If record evidence thereof cannot be obtained,
the affidavit of a witness who can specify the date should
be furnished
I am respectfully
Your Obt Sert
