Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of act of Congress of 7 th June 1832, & all sub- sequent acts in his favor. State of New York } Rensselaer County } ss:
On this 29 th day of March 1845 personally appeared before me Silvanus Cartier one of the Judges of County Court in & for said county, Silvanus Cartier of the town of Constantia, aged 84 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 provision made by the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832, & any subsequent act: That he was a resident of the town of Windham State of Connecticut, at the time of the War of the Revolution, was a private in an artillery militia Regiment, and belonged to the class of men known as minute men, and that on the 31 st day of July 1780, he the said Silvanus was detached for a time of duty at New London in said State, by Major Hezekiah Huntington by command of Colonel Storer, under Capt. Joseph Palmer, that in pursuance of said order Capt. Jonathan Rude to whom company he belonged did detach him the said Silvanus, & some twenty others from his company for said time, of whom he recollects John Wood Jacob Hovey Benj. Smith J. Buxton Rufus Kimball Ben John Kimball Daniel Kimball & some others, who with himself did directly embark & march to N. London as ordered, & that he has seen & read the unexpired original order by Maj. Huntington of 30 th July 1780, & also the list of detached men certified by Capt. Jonathan Rude of Windham, bearing his the said Silvanus name,

both of which, he believes are true & genuine documents, the same having come to his hands from a grand son of Capt. Jonah Palmer, that himself & comrades did work at repairs on Fort Griswold under the direction of Col. Sedgwick, drew half & made & set pickets around the Fort, that he was in actual service on this tower two months, was then discharged & returned home. That in September 1781 he enlisted under Capt. Hilds at Norwich Ct., Conn. under Captain Hartington's Subaltern, in an artillery company, and directly marched to New London, reached there at the time of the dreadful massacre of Col. Sedgwick & his men & while New London was in flames, the villainous work of the traitor Arnold, saw the British fleet sail out of the harbor, saw the British prisoners, to sailing, load up the cart in which he drew half the year's provisions, with the bodies of Sedgwick's massacred men, & ran it down the hill into the river:— after this, saw cart loads of dead bodies taken away by their friends. Served under Capt. Hilds at this time two months, & heard news of the death of his mother, & returned home on a permit to attend her funeral, but returned directly & joined his company, & served two months longer, when he was discharged & returned home. That he has no other documentary evidence of his said service, that the two papers annexed, have not for many years been his comrades, & does not know that any person is now living whom testimony he can obtain to prove said service.
We hereby relinquish all & every claim to a pension or annuity except the present, & declare that his name is not on the
