He served as I believe in the Army of the Revolution in the summer of 1776 about five months & was stationed at a point at the time at Plattsburgh. He also served as I believe about nine months in 1777 & was present at the taking of General Burgoyne. He also served as I believe about five months in 1778 in Capt. Suckers Company in Col.
