In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of June 7. 1833.
State of New York Delaware County Bfs.
On this 23 rd day of Au- gust 1843. personally appeared James Bowers One of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for said County Daniel Waterbury , a resi- dent of the town of Andes, in said County of Delaware State of New York aged Seventy nine years & his friend who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declarations in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7. 1833. That as number of years ago, he (this Declar- ant) visited General Charles Root of Delhi in said County in order to obtain his assistance in procuring a pension, but that said Root being unable to at- tend to the business at that time Declarant left him without doing any thing in the matter, and that he has done nothing since. That as Declarant had heard that said Root was engaged in procuring pensions for others, he supposed that said Root was a proper agent to undertake for him, but as said Root was not at that time able to attend to his claim & as this Declarant was in comfortable circumstances enjoying a comfortable support during his life has he suffered said application would be attended with trouble & vexation to himself, he this Declarant has done nothing further in the matter. That he now applies in consequence of the advice of his children who think it due to himself & to show that he should claim what is fairly and justly due to him.
That in the summer of the year Seventeen hundred & Seventy nine, when this Declarant was nearly Sixteen years

of age, he was duly enrolled in the militia of West Chester County where he resided. That he then resided at his father's house, in the town of Poundridge West Chester County N.Y. and that he was then enrolled in the militia of that vicinity, who were under the Command of Col- onel Shadent Brane . That Declarant had three Uncles (his mother's brothers) who were officers in said Regiment (a portion of the war) Captains David Gould Boulton, who was the oldest, Daniel Boulton & Noah Boulton. That the greater part of the Declar- ant's services were done in the Company of said Daniel Boulton. That he also served under Cap- tain Elizer Scofield who resided within a mile of this Declarant's residence. That the year Declarant entered said service from the month of July in said year to wit 1779, he this Declarant was on duty for a greater part of the time under said officers. That du- ring this time, they were stationed along the lines as guard & sentry until late in the fall & part of five months. That said Regiment of Colonel Brane thus upon the lines were the only defence of that important portion of the Country against the constant inroads of the enemy, who sallied out from New York plundering & laying waste the Country. That this was particularly the case during the year 1781 when all the regular troops were ordered to the South to unite with the army there operating against Lord Cornwallis That from the early Spring until late in the fall of said year (1781) said Regiment of Colonel Brane were constantly on duty upon said lines, during which time this Declarant was also on duty for a period in the aggregate of about nine months being in the Company of Captain Boulton afore-
copy 221

Said, That the before mentioned service was (for the most part) performed on the lines at or near Poundridge where Said Companies were usually Stationed being one of the most important Points along the frontier and chiefly exposed as aforesaid. That Declarant is well assured that his Service before mentioned amounted in the aggregate to more than one year . To wit his service under Colonel Brain & Captains Bouton & Sheffield.
And Declarant further saith that on January 1783, he enlisted into the Regiment of Connecticut Continental troops commanded by Colonel Banfield & into the company of Captain Granger. That Captains Miles, Haddad and Allen belonged to the same Regiment. That one Dana was Major of Said Regiment. That Declarant enlisted into Said Regiment at Stamford in the State of Connecticut, which was about ten miles from Declarants residence in Poundridge N.Y. That there was a fort at Said town of Stamford and Said Regiment was Stationed there and from thence sent out guards to the line. That Declarant remained in Said Company and Regiment in Said fort until the month of April or for upwards of three months , when Peace was proclaimed, and the army disbanded. That he then and there received a discharge but Said discharge has since been mislaid or lost. And Declarant further saith that the full amount of Service which he performed in the Revolutionary was to wit during the years 1779, 1780, 1781, 1782 & 1783, was at least fifteen months & Declarant verily believes that he is entitled to such an amount of Pension. And Declarant further saith that he was born in Poundridge aforesaid in the year 1764.

That he has a record of said birth. That he lived in Poundridge aforesaid during said war; that afterwards he moved to Nafaw. Rensselaer County, from thence to Nafaw Saratoga County & from thence to Andes his present place of residence where he has resided for the last thirty six years.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity ex- cept the present & declares that his name is not in the pension roll of the agency of any State.

Deacon Ezra Benedict of the town of Andes in said County, being duly sworn deposed and saith, that he is well acquainted with Daniel Waterbury of said town of Andes who is now an applicant for a pension, and that he has been well acquainted with him for at least forty years. That Deponent has always understood that said Daniel Waterbury was twelve years and some months older than Deponent and that Deponent is now upwards of sixty seven years of age, and verily believes that said Daniel Waterbury is upwards of seventy nine years of age. That from the time of Deponent's earliest acquaintance with said Waterbury he has from time to time conversed with him relative to his services in the Revolution, and has always understood & believed that he did serve upon numerous occasions during said war, and that he is reputed and believed in the neighborhood where he resides to have been a soldier of the Revolution. And Deponent further saith that said Daniel Waterbury has been deacon of the Presbyterian Church of Andes aforesaid for about thirty years & that this Deponent has also been deacon of the same church for about twenty years during which time they have officiated together. And that said Daniel Waterbury has always sustained an irreproachable character for truth & veracity. & Deponent has no doubt that he is justly entitled to the pension which he claims from the United States in

In the matter of the ap- plication of Daniel Wat- erbury for a Pension under the Act of June 7. 1832
Albany Sept. 1. 1843.
Sir.
The above applicant applied for pension in consideration of his service in West Chester County, in the Regiment of Colonel Crane, and of his service in Connecticut in the Regiment of Colonel Danfield. Our Comptroller's certificate is respectfully submitted in proof of the former, and it is hoped that evidence of the latter may be found upon the Connecticut Continental Rolls, on file in your Department.
The applicant gives a reason why his case has not been presented before, & his character for truth and veracity is above reproach. General Root informs me that at the time he engaged in obtaining pensions, he had so many applications, that he could not attend to them all, & that thus Deacon Waterbury's case was neglected.
I have the Honor to remain With Great Respect Your M c O ff cert.
