That he at the age of 17 ran away from his father in New Canaan and enlisted into the service of the United States at Saratoga into the Company commanded by Silas Gray and was under the command of Genl.

He was during these two periods in service at Fort Ticonderoga, Fort Stanwix, Oneida Lake, Fort George, up the North River and Mud Creek; He served under Capt. Fonda, Major Dibble, Colonel Baldwin; While at Fort Plain was visited by Genl Washington; Has no documentary evidence & knows of no person whose testimony he can procure - His memory is not clear as to dates, but is certain that he served two seasons of nine months each and was 17 years old when he entered the service - This declarant is in indigent circumstances & has resided in the

extreme part of the County a great way from any judge or the Court House and has not before had it in his power to make application for the pension to which he is entitled; He further says that there is no clergyman residing in his neighbourhood and knows of none who is gen- erally acquainted with the people of his neigh- bourhood.

Sir
I enclose herewith the application of Clement Lubbs for a pension under the act of June 7. 1832 — I hope his long delay may not prove prejudicial to his claims. Ignorance of the law and poverty in the extreme have been the cause of the delay — He resides some 30 miles from here in the extreme part of the County
Yrs Respectfully Admiral Ely
