For the purpose of obtaining the benefit of an act for the relief of certain surviving officers and soldiers of the Revolution approved on the fifteenth day of May one thousand eight hundred and twenty eight. I, Jacob Bradenburgh of the Town of Jerusalem in the County of Yates in the State of New York, do hereby declare that I enlisted in the Continental line of the Army of the revolution for and during the war, and continued in its service until its termination at which period I was a private in Captain Rosserants company in the Thirteenth Regiment of the New York State line. And I also declare that I afterwards received a certificate for the reward, of eighty dollars to which I was entitled under a resolution of congress passed the fifteenth day of May one thousand seven hundred and seventy eight. And I further declare that I was not on the fifteenth day of March one thousand eight hundred and twenty eight on the pension list. And I further declare that my Sir name has been and is sometimes spelled Bradenburgh and sometimes Bradenburgh. And I further declare that the said Certificate above mentioned was soon after the termination of the Revolutionary war lost; and I have never seen or heard of it since. That at that time resided about two hundred and fifty miles from where I now reside and possess no evidence of its loss. I further declare that at the close of the said war I received a discharge which said discharge

is also lost and I possess no evidence of its loss. In confirmation of the above facts I further state from recollection that I first entered the service by being drafted for nine months and served under Captain Conrad Gline, and that before the expiration of the nine months I enlisted under Captain Jacob Rosecrantz to serve during the war. The Regiment was commanded by Colonel Henry Livingston and I think the same was afterwards commanded by Colonel Cortland. That one Samuel Ten Broeck was Major. Peter Wynkoop was quartermaster. Jacob Best was Lieutenant. Hawley was Ensign. Stephen Van Dyke was a sergeant. Robert Van Densen was second corporal of the company the other officers I do not recollect.

My dear Sir:
Will you please forward me the war record of one Jacob Vradenburgh placed on the pension roll April 13/1833, while a Resident of Yates Co NY. for services as a Pirate in the Revolution in the N.Y. Coast Line . The correct way of spelling his name is Vradenburg , but being of German descent I believe that it was misspelled, for his children by his second wife spell their name Vradenbing . Is there anyway that I could secure a copy of his original application for pension that would secure his history.
Awaiting your reply I remain Yours Truly
