Hartford I found I had given in my declaration a wrong statement of the Col. for I found that Lieut Col Baldwin commanded the Regiment I was in I applyed [applied] to the heirs of the orderly Sergeant but found that those papers were not there that had the account of the drafts and were not to be found
---
David Scranton was Quarter Master of the Regiment at this time but soon died his Brother took his place and
had had all the papers but burnt them up but he had the command of one Company being one of the Jubaltion there at time he remember my bang there he remembers
that Ensign Johnsons company kept Gen Washer Guard there the latter part of the tour and you have his deposition
Name Abraham Scrantom
I belonged when at home to 3d Company in the 10th Regmt of Militia Commanded by Col Thadeus Cook I never kept any memor [memoir] and of the time when he served at is not unposible [impossible] but I may have made some mistakas [mistakes]
to date, but from circumstances I have endeavored to give a correct statements, the places are correct 
West Haven was the part of Newhaven in ⌨ which I served that tour but I find in the pay roll called Newhaven I was inspected by Col Cook when I was about mankind we did not other receive pay in months after we did the Service
In the year 1780 I was at Stratford Capt

my arriving at New haven on account of Cornwallis being taken 
I was at Newhaven 3 day, when Capt Sanly was then under the command of Genral Ward and Col T Cook
Page 27

At the time I served at West Haven or as it is called in the pay roll Newhaven I was commanded by Capt Olver Stanley I never had any knowledge of any Superior Officer
The tour that I served at Stratford a
mistake in the Name I did not remember the Capt Name But I found that Capt James Burton Command at the time I was there I will not be positive that Col Mead commanded the Coast Guard at that time but I think that
I was out under him at one time but as I was placed 15 or 20 Miles from the place where he resided and never see a Superior Offer
The other tour that I served part at Stratford part
at Newhaven I made a mistake as to my Capt I found on the pay roll Capt Charles Norton Commanded the Company I well remember him now

EXPLANATORY NOTES
QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by the reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For ----- years ----- months,  and ----- days, I served as a -----. For ----- months and ---- days, I served as a -----; and for such service I claim a pension.
Page 50

3
It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some person who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officer, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shown under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.

+QUERE XIV. Proof of Service
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
++QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
-> In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of Congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

Time in service at each period must be distinctly specified with particular- a pension cannot be computed under the Law.
