New Jersey Morris County } ss. William Tuttle, the subscriber to the foregoing declaration, this day makes oath before me, one of the justices of the peace in & for said County, that he retained his commission as 2 d Ensign  Lieutenant in the 3 d Regiment of the New Jersey line of the Continental Army, until the day when General Lafayette visited Newark in this State, on his late arrival in this County. That being anxious to see his old Commander, he went to Newark on that occasion, probably in Sept r . 1824, having his commission with him in his pocket book; & that during that day, in the crowd, his pocket book was either stolen, or lost, containing his commission & some other papers, & that he has never found it since. - He declares, that he enlisted as a private in Capt. Dickerson's company in April 1777, in Col. Dayton's Regiment, N. Jersey line - that he was wounded in the right arm at Elizabeth town in 1778. - was at the battles of Springfield, Germantown, Brandywine, Monmouth, & others of like note - was with Genl. Lafayette during his command in Virginia, acted as Sergeant Major under him, - was at the siege of York town - that he rec d his Subaltern commission at Newburg about 1781, & would respectfully refer to the Honorable Joseph Anderson, now 7 th Comptroller of the Treas- ury, who was an officer in his company, & who he doubts not will faithfully remember this deponent in the service of his County, & hopes he will testify to such remembrance, if necessary. He also refers to the recollection of Col. Aaron Ogden, as remembering him in the Revolutionary war, both in New Jersey & Virginia. - He would also refer the Secretary of the Treasury, to the records of the State Society of Cincinnati of N. Jersey, not as legal proof of his title to the benefits of the law in question, but as proof to satisfy him, of his membership of that association of his comrades in arms, & of the rank which he held in the Army by his commission, when the war terminated. Sworn & subscribed before me at Morristown, N. Jersey, this 21 st day of June, A. D. 1828. Note, the word "Ensign" in the 3 d line, was interlined, before signing.
