That he enlisted in the army of the revolution of the United States with Great Britain in month of May in the year 1781 in the City of Albany in the said State of New York for the term of three years in a regiment of state troops or New York Militia commanded by Col. Marinus Willet in a battalion under the command of Maj. Josiah Theop (or as pronounced Troop) in a company of which Thomas Skinner was the Captain & Whittet Johnson the Lieutenant. That he was selected as sergeant in said company and always served as said sergeant. That some of his fellow soldiers, were Jonathan Skinner, Michael Skinner, Jesse Hubbard & George Smith etc. That he the said Nathaniel White served for the space of two years as sergeant in the said company commanded by said Capt. Skinner and that then as the exigencies of the service did not require it and as the regiment was not full, the regiment was reduced to a battalion and placed under the command of Maj. Elias Van Buren and that deponent then became a sergeant in a company of men commanded by Capt. James Cannon in which a certain Shaver was Lieutenant. Yaales Hardy acted as adjutant when the regiment was reduced and then Pliny Moore served as such. Capt. Phelps commanded another company in the same battalion. This regiment was reduced to a battalion while the troops were at Fort Plain in the Mohawk river in the State of New York to which place the troops had been marched from Albany. Deponent further states, that immediately upon his enlistment

ment he, together with his company, was marched from the city of Albany to the frontier bordering upon the Mohawk River, where he continued in the service until he was marched to Poughkeepsie where he was finally discharged. His principal stations upon said river were Fort Plain and Fort Kankaman, upon a place called the German Flats. That he was engaged in the battle of Johnstown also another upon Canada Creek. That one night while commanding a detachment of rangers between upper & lower Canada Creek, he observed the smoke of an Indian fire at a distance & with the men under him made an attack upon the Indians, destroyed them & rescued two females from death. That he was almost daily engaged in skirmishes with the enemy but does not recollect any worthy of particular record.

Elias Van Buren and that the same was signed by him as Major & Commander of the battalion aforesaid - That he the said Nathaniel White applied the year 1838 in May to Mr Calhoun while Secy of War for a pension which application was made before Judge Joseph Layton, one of the associate Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of Clark County Ohio - That the discharge given to deponent by said Maj. Elias Van Buren was by deponent given up to said Judge Layton to be forwarded to the War Department at Washington and that the said discharge either never was returned from the department to Judge Layton or if returned was not delivered to deponent by said Layton, among his other papers - That when deponent called on said Layton for his papers returned from Washington, said Layton informed deponent (after a search among his papers of more than three hours) that said discharge had been by him lost, mislaid or destroyed, if it was returned from the Secretary of War - that said Layton is since deceased and deponent never has been able to find or procure said discharge, though he has made every exertion so to do. deponent is therefore unable to state how or when said discharge has been lost or mislaid.

State of New York when he made his voluntary disbursement in the service - That after he was discharged from said service, & within the year 1805, he emigrated from the county of Otsego, to which he had removed from Albany County in the year 1795, to the county of Lycoming in the State of Pennsylvania, where he deponent resided for the space of seven years and in the year 1812 removed thence into Clark County in the State of Ohio, from which last place he removed into Tippecanoe County in the State of Indiana, his present residence, where he arrived on the 7th day of November 1828 - During his residence That he was born in Dutchess County & removed to Albany County with his father when 15 years of age, where he lived when he enlisted - That as he has long since left the scene of his early acquaintance & friends & emigrated to the West, he now has no knowledge of any person who is acquainted with his services & who is able to testify thereto - That deponent recollects his being acquainted in said campaign with Col. Van Scoit as one of the regular officers of the U. S. Army. That a certain Col. Holden of the Rhode Island Volunteers or Continental Army marched in the same company with his deponent's regiment through the wilderness for the purpose of taking a certain fort called Otsego or all as he recollects - That with his fellow soldiers he suffered great privations in said campaign - Deponent is unable to produce the certificate of any clergyman to be annexed to this declaratio because there is no one residing in his neighborhood nor any of the county towards the border Deponent was a volunteer in the revolutionary army - he served only for one enlistment which was from the month of May 1781 until the 13th day of January 1782 during the whole of which time he acted as a sergeant and was not during said time employed in any other service Deponent states the names of Robert Williams, Stephen Kennedy Esq, Judge John Root, Dr. Durkee, Samuel Clark Esq, Harris, Durkee, Judge William Allen, and James Johnson & etc to whom he is known in his neighborhood & who can testify to his character for veracity & their belief of his services as a soldier of the revolution - And he hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, & he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any agency in any state - Sworn to & subscribed in open court this 14th day of January 1835 -  Wit - Samuel Hooper, Clk.      Nathaniel White

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for the Revolutionary War records of Nathaniel White and Jacob Lane.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon the military service of soldiers in that war. A search of the records fails to show such claim on file on account of the service of the Jacob Lane described by you.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, W. 2299, based upon the military service of Nathaniel White.
He was born July 25, 1759, in Dutchess County, New York. When he was fifteen years of age he moved with his father (name not given) to Albany County, New York, and was living there when he enlisted.
He enlisted at Albany in May, 1781, served as sergeant in Captain Thomas Skinner's company in Colonel Marinus Willett's New York regiment and in Captain James Cannon's company in Major Elias Van Benschoten's New York battalion, was in the battle of Johnstown and an engagement on Canada Creek and was discharged January 13, 1784.
In 1795 he moved from Albany County to Otsego County, New York, in 1805 he moved to Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, in 1812 he moved to Clark County, Ohio, and in 1828 he moved to Tippecanoe County, Indiana.

He died January 25, 1836.
Soldier married December 23, 1834, Priscilla Goldberry of Tippecanoe County, Indiana.
She was allowed pension on her application executed February 23, 1853, at which time she was sixty-one years of age and a resident of Tippecanoe County, Indiana.

To the Commissioner of Pensions,
Sir
wish you to inform me what the decision has is in reference to the application of widows of Revolutionary soldiers who were married after the year 1800, in regard to the Back pay of 5 years from 1853 back to 1848. I made an application for Priscilla White in 1853 as the widow of Nathaniel White who was mar- ried after 1800. The pension was granted from the passage of the act of 1853 and the 5 years back pay refused or retained for further investigation. I have been informed that on appeal it has been decided that applicants standing in the relation of Mrs. White are entitled to the back pay of 5 years by informing me of the facts as above stated you will confer a favor on.

Dr Sir - I have to apologize to you for delaying to execute what you requested in yours of the 14 th ult. - It was nearly unavoidable, for reasons that are unimportant for you to know - I hope however, that the delay will not be very material - If anything should not be right concerning the Cleft, it may be well to return it soon, for I think the old Col. will not live very long - although his mental faculties are good as usual, he is suffering under a considerable degree of what I think to be paralysis - That is, in his extremities - And it creeps slowly towards his body - I am not a good judge of such diseases, but should not be surprised if it reached his vital parts in eight weeks & took him off - I suggest this, that there be no time lost in any further communication -
