	THAT HE ENTERED THE SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES UNDER THE FOLLOWING NAMED OFFICERS, AND SERVED AS HEREIN STATED.

The first day of January 1777, when I was fourteen years old I went to Springfield in the State of Massachusetts enlisted as a soldier for six months in Captain Morgan's Company, & I believe our regimental <insert> officers </insert> were Col. Mason & Col. Shevers  - I passed muster at said Springfield, & guarded the Continental stores there, from the first day of said January to the first day of July following & then was discharged -

In 1777 I think it was I went to Boston (Mass.) as a soldier for three months. My Captains  name I believe, was Stibbins.  The enemy having left Boston. we were ordered to Dorchester Hill which is near Boston. I believe this was in the year 1777. but I very well recollect it was in the fall of the year, & I served two months & was discharged -

The next year, I belive  in the Spring or Summer, there was an alarm that the Indians had come to Schohavic,  & had destroyed the place - I enlisted to go to Scholavic  to fight the enemy. I went to West Springfield (Mass.) & I joined a company and we went through Great Bassington  to Albany New York & had orders to stop there as the Indians had left Schohavic.   We were stationed on the Hill called Kings Barracks  -- Our engagement at this time was for three months, but we were discharged in one month or a little more. My Captains  name was Keep  I believe, & that this was in 1778.

	I was a soldier in the Revolution nine months.
