Peter Van Wart Lieut. Storms & Ensign Garret Van Buren (who were the officers that commanded the company) and marched to Saratoga from Thann to Fort Edmnd and was out four weeks & returned home
That in the Summer of 1779 he was called into service (the company being called out) under Col C Von Richten. Capt D Van Wart Lieut Storms & Ensign Van Buren marched to Saratoga Barracks from Thann to Fort George continued a short time from Thann down Lake George to Ticonderoga & returned home absent five weeks
That he was again called into service in the fall of 1779 under Capt D Van Wart & Ensign Van Buren marched to Saratoga from Thann to a place called Palamertown and was out eight days

That some time in the fall of the year 1779 he volunteered for three months Service under Capt Sherwood and marched to Fort Ann where we were stationed That after the expiration of three weeks he was taken sick and his father Maj J G Vanschaick furnished a substitute by sending a Negro man who took his place and who served until he the Negro was taken prisoner by the British and was carried to Montreal where the Negro was kept as a waiter for Patrick Langdon & Sir John Johnston until after the close of the war
That in the summer of the year 1780 he was called into the service under Major J G Vanschaick (his father) Capt Peter Van Wart Lieut Storms and Ensign Van Buren marched to Saratoga from there to a place called Palmertown from there to Jessups Landing and was out six weeks That in the fall of the same year 1780 he was again called out under Capt P Van Wart & Ensign Van Buren and marched to Fort Miller and was out ten days

That in the year 1782 he was called out under Capt P Van Wart & Ensign Van Buren marched to Saratoga from there to Palmertown and was out three weeks That he has no documentary evidence of Service and that knows of no person whose testimony he can procure

And that owing to old age and consequent loss of memory it is impossible to be more particular in referring to the time in the year in which he was called out as he was so situated that he was likely to be called out - and was frequently called out on short tours of duty and that the whole of the term that he served was at least as much as stated in the above declaration.
