That he never had any written discharge, never was in any battle, or served with any continental regiment, or knew any continental officer while in the service; and that the annexed affidavit together with this declaration is the best evidence of which he can admit; That he is informed and firmly believes that he was born in the aforesaid town of Marbletown, on the 28th day of May 1760 that there is a transcript of a Record of his age in a religious book in his possession, which transcript was made about 30 years since from a record (since lost) made by his father;
