On this thirtieth day of July, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, eight hundred and thirty two, personally appeared in open Court before the Honorable Robert Merrill Vice Chancellor of the Sixth Circuit of the State of New York, at a Court of Chancery held at the residence of the Vice Chancellor in the town of Cune, in the County of Chenango and State of New York, now sitting, Daniel Newman, aged Seventy three years, a resident of the town of Cune, in the County of Chenango and State of New York, 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 th 1832. - That he entered the service of the United States, under the following named officers and served as herein stated - That he lived in the town of Egremont, County of Berkshire, and State of Massachusetts at the time of his first service. That in the year 1776, he enlisted as a volunteer under Captain Fitch of Egremont, in a Regiment Commanded by Colonel Mark Hopkins, as this Deponent believes, in General Fellows Brigade, and marched from the town of Egremont to Peekskill in the State of New York and was stationed in and about that place, for one month, That at the expiration of that time he was discharged and returned home - He was in the same Company and Regiment with Benaiah Dennis and Ephraim Hallenbeck, whose affidavit is hereto annexed - Immediately after his return from Peekskill, he went to New York, and took the place of his Brother Gains Newman (who was sick & who returned home) who had enlisted in the Company of Captain Drowey, in a Regiment Commanded by Colonel Smith, for the term of five months, and that he served out the time of his Brothers enlistment, and was discharged in the fourth part of the month of

December 1776. During this Campaign he was a sup- mate & served in the same Regiment with William Root whose affidavit is hereto annexed, and that they were on the retreat from New York to White Plains - after his discharge he returned home, and upon his arrival at Egremont he found that there was a Company forming under Captain Ephraim Fitch, to go to Ticonderoga, and he en- listed in that Company for the term of three months this was the last of the month of December, and That they marched to Ticonderoga, and were there upon service untill the expiration of the time for which they enlisted & were then discharged, which was the last of March, and he returned home - At the time General Burgoyne arrived with his forces at Skeensboro, this Company turned out with the rest of the Militia of his town under Lieut. Abner Kellogg, the Captain of the Company did not go, and went up a little above Fort Edwards, and there joined the Army, which was on the retreat - When they arrived near Saratoga a part of the Mili- tia were discharged and the with others returned home - Soon after his return from Saratoga and some time the last of the month of July or the first of August in the year 1777, he enlisted as a soldier in the New York Militia for the term of three Months, and that after the Troops were embodied, they marched from Hudsonhook in Columbia County, New York, under the Command of Colonel Livingston (as he believes) and in a Company under Captain John M c . Kinstry, to Troy and from thence to Brannans Heights and from thence to Schuylers Mills, and there staid untill the Surrender of Burgoyne's Army - from thence they marched down the north River to Newburgh to keep the Loyalists in subjection, and remained there untill his time was out and was discharged and returned home - In the Summer of the year after

The surrender of Burgoyne he enlisted for three months under Captain Miller of Claverack, Columbia County, and marched to West Point on the north River, and remained one month and a half, the regiment was then removed to Fishkill Landing & there his place was taken by one Shadwick Doty who was brought there by the Brother of the Deponent for that purpose and who he hired as a Substitute, and he returned home - He again enlisted for one month under Captain Barret, and went to Fort. Plank, but at what particular time this Deponent cannot recollect, but it was at the time of the Massacre at Cherry Valley, to which place he received orders to march with the Soldiers stationed at Fort. Plank, and when they arrived, the Indians had left the place, and he assisted in interring those who had been massacred by the Indians - That he never received a written Discharge, and that he has no documentary proof of his service or any part of it - And that he knows of no persons, who could testify as to his service, except those heretofore mentioned and whose affidavits are hereto annexed - He hereby Relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present one, and declares that his name is not upon the pension Roll of the agency of any State -
