Declaration
In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832.
State of Connecticut, } ss. County of New-Haven, }
On this 14 th day of Feby 1832 personally appeared, in open Court, before the Seventeenth Court of the United States now sitting, John Dyer a resident of Branford in the County of New-Haven, and State of Connecticut, aged 72 years, who, being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath, make the following Declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7, 1832:—That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated:—That in the year 1775, I then living at North Stratford in Fairfield county, as an affection to the lasting business, I took the place of one Ephraim Standing who had been drafted for a three months service, and served for that term of time, in a company commanded by Capt Stephen Potter of Branford, in the regiment commanded by Col. Theadus Hall of Wallingford—During this time I went to Boston and remained there, and in that vicinity—Gen Putnam commanded the brigade in which I served—I was in a skirmish with the British, when a party of Americans came near cattle, from Long Island, up to Gloucester point, and from there to Boston—When I had served my time out I went to Roxbury, and worked at my trade as a Tailor—After living in Roxbury for about one year, I came to North Branford in Connecticut. In March 1779, at said North Branford I enlisted for one year, in the Connecticut State troops, under Ensign Asahel Hemenway, in Capt John Gales company, in Col. Matthew Meigs Regiment—Soon after my enlistment, I marched to Horse Neck, and there served at my time—About the beginning of February 1780, I was one of the party consisting of about one hundred men, which went to Merrimack in New York, and attacked a British Squadron of Light Horse—In this operation, several prisoners, (I should think about sixty) were taken, and carried to Horse Neck—Among the prisoners, was Col. Hatfield—Mr Nathan Hemenway, now living at North Branford served with us in this enlistment, and was one of the party of one hundred, that I have spoken of—When my time was

and I returned to North Branford - In the year 1781, I enlisted in Capt. Isaac Staples company of State troops, and served six months, that being the term of my enlistment, on land, at Branford - At the expiration of my time, I served another six months under Capt. Staples, in a guard boat , along shore, between New Haven, and Sachems Head - Peter Blackstone was with me in this service, as was also Mr. Nathan Harrison for a part of the time - I was born at North Branford in Connecticut, on the last day of March A.D. 1760 - I have no record of my age. I have made diligent search for one, but none can be found - Ever since the Revolutionary war I have lived, and now live, in the Town of Branford - After the expiration of my term of service under Boston, as stated above, I received a discharge, signed by General Sage, which discharge, I have lost - At the expiration of my subsequent term of service, I did not receive any discharge - I am acquainted with Benjamin Dyer, Nathan Harrison and Jonathan Dyer Esq., and the Rev. Timothy P. Sillitell, who I believe will testify to my character, for verac- ity, and their belief in personal knowledge of my service in the Revolutionary war. Jobson Tylard

He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to any pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State, except that of the State of John Taylor

On this 14 th day of February A.D. 1833, personally appeared John Taylor of Branford in the United States for some his trial, now sitting, John Taylor of Branford in the County of New Haven and State of Connecticut, who made a declaration before the court, on the 14 th day of July 1832, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed on the 7 th day of June 1832, and who being first duly sworn, concerning the law, doth on his oath, make the supplemental decla- ration, in addition to said original declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of said act of Congress - The present states, that the "two terms of service of six months each in the year 1781" as stated in my original declaration, to have been performed in the town of Branford, are "performed "in a case called into actual service by the "proper authority", that is to say, the authority of the State of Connecticut. To prove that this service was performed by the proper authority, orders, the pre- sent orders by law to refer, to the documents, which accompanied, the supplemental declarations of Matthew Baldwin, John Blackstone  Blackstone & Nathan Harrison, each of whom, have obtained previous. The court

before I hear this declaration is taken will make the accompanying certificate, as to the credibility of the witnesses, who have testified in my favor - There two are the only objections made by the Department, to granting the belligerent a pension, which objections he hopes, will be satisfactorily removed, by the documents which accompany the supplemental declaration of Matthew Baldwin, and by the certificate of the Court, attached to this declaration. The belligerent claims for three months service in the year 1775, although, he has no vouch to prove this service; For one year service commencing in March 1779 in the company of Con- tinental State Troops, commanded by Capt John Gates, in Col. Matthew Meigs Regiment; and for the "two terms of service of six months each in the year 1781" under Captain Staples, as stated in his original declaration, and for such service, amounting in the whole, to two years and three months, I claim a pension.

And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the new depart- ment, that the aforesaid applicant may a Revolu- tionary soldier, and said as he states - And the said Court further certify, that the said applicant is a creditable person, whose statements are entitled to credit. And the Court further certify, that Nathan Harris and Peter Markstein, witnesses to the depositions which are attached to the said applicant's original declaration, are men of credit, and that full faith is due to their statements under oath.
