Declaration of Oliver Hunt, of New Jersey in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress, passed June 4th 1832.

State of New Jersey
Middlesex County, Ss. 

On this fifteenth day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty six, personally appeared before the Judges of the Superior Court of Common Pleas of the said county of Middlesex, Oliver Hunt, a resident of Montgomery Township and State aforesaid, aged eighty years, who being duly sworn on his oath saith
that he was born in Hopewell Township, Co[u]nty of Hunterdon 7 State aforesaid on the fifteenth day of August, A.D. 1756, a record of which is now in the possession of some member of his family. That he always resided at the place of his nativity until within the last thirty years, when he removed to his present place of abode and has lived there ever since. With respect to his services in the war of the Revolution he must be permitted to say that he cannot swear positively to the precise amount of those services, nor to all the particulars connected with them, but to the best of his recollection, and in full confidence in their truth, he avers, that he served less than the period  below mentioned, and always in the grade of a private. He entered the service, being regularly enrolled, in the month of March 1776, in the company commanded by Capt. Guild in the third regiment of the Hunterdon Brigade, being at that time and apprentice to one Richard Hunt, and was at that period
Page 5

ordered out and in that year served six tours of a month each, as follows: -He was marched to Perth Amboy, via Princeton and Brunswick, and thence over to Staten Island, and was there employed in erecting Fortifications for some time, and thence returned to Amboy and there remained at least three tours of a month each, above specified, under Col. Isaac Smith. He well recollects during that period they were joined by Col. Morgan with his Riflemen from Virginia, and also well recollects that during his service and while on duty at Amboy, he heard of the Declaration of Independence. Of this service two tours to wit:  the first and third were for himself under Capt. Mott and the second was under Capt. Guild, as a substitute for his said master Richard Hunt. In August of the same year, having returned, he was again ordered out and served at least three tours of a month each, the first and third under Capt. Guild, for himself, and the second under Capt. Mott as a substitute for the said Richard Hunt, and was marched to the Eastern part of New Jersey to Newark, and was there engaged guarding and patroling that part of the State and was thus and there engaged at the time the Battle was fought on Long Island, and remained there until Washington retreated to Newark and then joined the Army and with it crossed New Jersey and well recollects recollects that he was sick at the capture of the Hessians at Trenton, but was on duty again and engaged at the battle of Princeton when the gallant Mercer fell. The Army then went into Winter Quarters. The enemy retired to Brunswick, and they went home.
Page 6

In the year 1777, he was ordered out, and served three tours of a month each under Capt. Mott and Col. Hunt, two for himself, and one as a substitute for the said Richard Hunt, his Master all along the River Millstone guarding that section of the State, and frequently down a long the lines, and occasionally capturing some of the enemy whom they caught in their rambles. Afterwards, in the same year, '77 he served three other tours of a month each under Capt. Guild and Col. Philips and was marched to Pennytown and thence to Cuckstown and Steel's Gap where they joined the regular Army under the command of Washington, and when in that vicinity they had a skirmish. They were then under the command of Gen. Sterling. In the early part of 1778 he served a tour of a month under Capt. Guild and Col. Smith, at Eliz. Town. In the Spring of '78 he was again ordered out and served one month, he well recollects under Capt. Clunn and was marched to Gloucester and there engaged in intercepting the Tories in their intercourse with the enemy at that time at Philadelphia, and frequently captured provisions passing from New Jersey to Philadelphia. He was again ordered out in '78, and served one month under Capt. Guild and Col. Newton, and was marched to Haddonfield and there guarded that section of the State and aided in shielding the defence from the ravages of the plundering parties of the enemy. Immediately afterwards, he was ordered out with all the militia and served a tour of a month under Capt. Van Cleef, when the enemy came into New Jersey from Pennsylvania, and was marched to Crosswicks in West Jersey, and aided in the destruction
Page 7

of the Bridges in that section of the State for the purpose of intercepting the enemy, and was then marched to Monmouth & was in that memorable battle, and had well nigh perished with heat and fatigue. On this occasion he recollects Gen. Maxwell, and among the regular field officers, Gen. Lee & the Commander in Chief himself. In the year 1779 he served at least three tours of a month each. The first and third under Capt. Guild, and the second under Capt. Van Cleef, all in East New Jersey stationed between Woodbridge and Newark, engaged in guarding that section of the State and patroling a long shore and shielding the defenceless and their property. In 1780 he served three tours of a month each - the first under Capt. Van Cleef, the second under Capt. Guild, and the third under Capt. Van Neste, chiefly at Eliz. Town and vicinity, engaged in the performance of similar duties; and recollects after Kynphausen had landed below Eliz. Town and marched up country that they followed, and remembers that the enemy had burnt the Ministers house at a place called the Farms, and that his wife was inhumanly and barbarously shot, and thence to Springfield, and was engaged in that battle. In the year 1781, he served at least three tours of a month each. The first under Capt. Guild, the second under Capt. Bastedo, and the third under Capt. Van Cleef, all in East Jersey. The first at the period of the revolt of the Pennsylvania Line at Raritan Landing and there kept in the daily expectation of the arrival off the enemy from below. The other tours were performed in the vicinity of Eliz. Town, guarding and repelling the depredations of the enemy as before. He served also in the next year, but cannot particularize. He never received any
Page 8

written discharge from the service, and has no documentary evidence of his service, but as to proof of those services refers to accompanying testimony of such of the surviving soldiers of the Revolution as he has been enabled to procure; and to his character for truth and veracity he begs leave to refer to the Rev. David Bartino a Clergyman in his neighborhood, and to Isaac Dunn, a neighbor of his who will also attest to their belief of his services and of his reputation as a Soldier of the Revolution in the neighborhood, besides whom he does not know that he can procure any other living witness. During the periods specified he was actively engaged in the service of his country, and was not engaged in any civil pursuit. He will only add that he hereby relinquishes every claim whatsoever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension of any agency of any state, and that his application has been postponed to this time on account of the absence of a material witness.

On this 31st day of January 1837, before me a Justice of the Peace in and for said County, personally appeared Oliver Hund the applicant named in the foregoing declaration for a Pension, and Varnal Hunt and Israel Hunt Known to me as credible persons who being duly sworn, on their oath respectively say that having been informed that certificates for arrearages of pay to
the soldiers of the Revolutionary war, were granted by the State of New Jersey at or after the close of the war, they have no recollection of receiving any such certificates, themselves, or applying for any that they could not, and
did not in fact, so apply, for that they received their pay & were therefore entitled to no such certificate they make this explanation, in consequence of his instruction from the account of the said Oliver Hunt that if they had received no certificates, such explanation would be required.

On this 31st day of January 1837, before me the subscriber, a Justice of the Peace in and for the County aforesaid, personally appeared before me Isaac Dunn, known to me as a credible person, above testimony is to be relied  upon who being duly sworn on his oath saith that he is in the 77th year of his age a soldier of the Revolution & now in the receipt of a Pension as such that he well acquainted with Oliver Hunt formerly of the County of Hunterdon & new of the County of Somerset  -that he knew him well in the war of the revolution - lived a part of that time a neighbor to him & belonged, during such residence
to the same company with him-- the company
of Capt Guild. His first recollection of said Hunt
was in the winter of 1777, at the time the British lay at New Brunswick. Said Hunt was then out with his company, along the Millstone sometimes under Capt Guild he thinks &
Sometimes under Capt Mott. The militia did
pretty constant service all that month, & was
out as deponent thinks, from in these month,
all of them. Deponent did not he thinks meet said Hunt again in service that year. He frequently heard of him however and knows that he was in service the following year doing his duty faithfully and fully as this deponent understood and verily believes. He also in the year 1779, the said Hunt, as this deponent knows, was out again in the performance of his regular tours. The said Hunt, to this deponent's knowledge was an apprentice to one Richard Hunt, as a shoemaker & Tanner, and did service some
Page 12

times for his master Richard Hunt, though of the particulars of this service their ? ? has
no personal knowledge. He only knows that
he was a substitute sometimes. In the year 1780 this deponent had removed to Hunterdon County & joined the company of Capt Guild to which said Oliver Hunt belonged in that year Said Hunt did at last three tours of
duty of a month each. One at Elizabethtown under Capt Guild, one at the time of the battle of Springfield under Capt Guild & another
on the Elizabethtown ? along the lines
under Capt Roan North. In the year 1781, also,
this deponent recollects the said Hunt on
the lines of duty, & that he performed at least
three tours being that year of a month each
he was in the early winter of January at
the time of the revolt of the Pennsylvania
line, under Capt Guild, and the other two
in the station along the lines. In this year
the latter part of it, the deponent changed his
residence again to Middlesex County, and
only say generally that said Hunt
continued to the last to serve his country faithfully & truly never flinching from duty &
with abundance of physical power to do good
service.

Middlesex County Ss. On the 31st day of January 1831 before me a Justice of the Peace in and for said County, personally appeared Samuel Hunt Known to me as a credible person above testimony is to be relied upon, also being duly sworn on his oath saith
that he is in the 77th year of his age, a soldier of the Revolution & now in the receipt of a Pension as such
that he is a brother to Oliver Hunt of Somerset County an applicant for a Pension - that they both belonged to the company of Capt Guild in Hunterdon County New Jersey, in the War of the Revolution and lived near neighbors - that this deponent had therefore an opportunity to know of the services of his said brother
Oliver, & does know that he began his services
as early as the month of March 1776, and did
during that year four to six tours of a month
each It was a hard year, as all know who are
acquainted with the history of the War and the
sound portion of the citizens were required to
do almost constant duty. The said Oliver was at
that time marched to Amboy, Staten Island & many other places on the eastern boundary of the state to put it in a state of defence against the invasion of the enemy. His Captains were Guild & Mott as he believes & his Col Smith. He knows that said Oliver was apprentice at the time to Richard Hunt, a Shoemaker & Tanner & that he performed service as a substitute for the said master then & repeatedly afterwards. Deponent knows that his said brother Oliver was almost in constant service for several years for himself and his master Richard Hunt. He
Page 14

Knows that said Oliver was out in the year following, in 1777. He recollects of his service particularly at the time the British were in New Brunswick from January to June 1777. His said
brother was then out nearly all the time either for himself or as a substitute for his master
Richard Hunt. Knows that his brother was out after the British retreated from Brunswick, in the same year, remembers him out again in 1778, that he did four or five tours of a month each and was at the battle of Monmouth.  Later in the year 1779, the said Oliver was out in the performance of the repeated tours & upon calls of alarm. His duty was chiefly on the eastern section of the State, at Elisabethtown, Newark, &c on a ? war called the lines, in the important service of defending the inhabitants from, under invading parties & burning & devastation. In 1780 also as this deponent knows, the said Oliver was out & did at least three months & served on tours of a month each, sometimes other Captains than his
own, as Capt Van Cleef, Capt Bastedo & others. In 1781 the said Oliver was also out on two or three tours of a month each on the lines. He is at this point reminded that his brother served a tour in 1778 in West Jersey under Capt Clunn.. The the Deponent remembers well as he also remembers generally the services of his said brother without being able to specify
then all in detail. No soldier did more services in this deponents opinion, than his brother Oliver, & none is better entitles to a pension.

State of New Jersey 
Middlesex County On this 31st day of January 1837, before me a Justice of the Peace in & for the County aforesaid, personally appeared Israel Hunt known to me as a credible person whose statement may be relied upon, also being duly sworn on his oath saith that he is in the 80th year of his age, a soldier of the revolution and now receiving a Pension of such that he is a cousin to Oliver Hunt formerly of the County of Hunterdon, New Jersey and
now of Somerset County, an applicant for a
Pension that they lived until about five miles of each other during the War of Revolution &  belonged to the same regiment but not to the same company. He can therefore speak only generally as to the service of said Oliver Hunt. He knows that said Hunt was at the commencement of the War an apprentice
to one Richard Hunt & he understood at the time but does not know that he did service as a substitute for his said master Richard Hunt. He has no doubt that such was the fact. He believes that said Oliver Hunt was in the militia service on duty as a soldier as early as 1776, that he did his full share of duty during that year which was very away & almost constant, that he was out again in 1777, and did several tours of duty of a month each. And again in 1778 was a hard year the said Oliver certainly did four or five tours of duty of a month each.  In 1779 also said Oliver was our in the regular
performance of his tours accounting to three to five in  a year of a month each.  In 1780 the deponent remembers the said Oliver particularly at Springfield, at the time of the bat-
Page 16

tle there. Said Oliver then performed a tour of
month, he thinks under Capt. Guild, Said Oliver
also performed two or three other tours during
that year, which deponent cannot particularly specify. Deponent also knows that said
Oliver was out in 1781 two or three tours. Recollects of his going from home but cannot say where or under what Captains. Indeed he
find it very difficult to remember as own services, & did not succeed to give such a relation of them as to secure him a full pension. He believes that the said Oliver did as much duty as the militia generally did, and
this he thinks amounted in the aggregate
to at least two years.

Dear Madam
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of fifteen soldiers with surname Hunt. 
Because of the great demand for Revolutinary War data and the limited clerical force available for furnishing such information, it has not been possible to comply with each request, which requires such an amount of time and research.  The record of only one Oliver Hunt of New Jersey has been found, also, the record of one Varnel Hunt.  Their records are given herein as found in the respective claims for pension, based upon their service in the Revolutionary War.

OLIVER HUNT S.2638.
