I Aaron Austin of New Hartford in the County of Litchfield and State of Connecticut do depose and say that Asa Griswold of Harwinton in said county early in the month of Feby 1776 enlisted himself a soldier in my company and in the regiment commanded by Charles Burrell Esq to serve one year from the 3rd of Feby 1776. That soon after the regiment marched to reinforce the army of the United States Colonies in the Northern Department and continued in service until the 5th of Feby 1777 and was then discharged by general orders.
I have no particular recollection of Mr. Griswold being ordered to Fort George as he states in his deposition but I know that numbers of my company was sent there and many of them was personally to go into the country and I had no knowledge of it and in consequence were continued on my muster rolls as sick and absent and was considered in the service until the regiment was discharged and believe that was the case with Mr. Griswold. If the payrolls are to be seen that may be seen.
As to the circumstances of Mr. Griswold, he lives seven or eight miles from me and have not any particular knowledge and further the deponent does not say.
