Supplemental affidavit of Daniel Walling, amending his original declaration, made July 31 st 1832, before a Court of Record of the County of Monmouth, in the State of New Jersey, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress, passed June 7. 1832.
State of New Jersey
Monmouth County, to wit: }
Personally appeared before me the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace in & for the said County of Monmouth, Daniel Walling, who being duly sworn depones & saith, that he is the identical Daniel Walling named in the above mentioned original declaration, & numbered by the War Department 4077, and that by reason of old age & the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection, he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; on the first of January 1777, I entered the service of the Revolutionary War, & in the said year 1777 I served six months as a private in the New Jersey Militia under my draft, or call, namely, the months of January, March, May, July, September, in a militia company commanded by Cap: Thos: Walling, & Lieut: & Ensign George Pool Cornelius Conover, & the month of November in a militia company commanded by Cap: Sam l Carpenter. In the year 1778, I served six months as a private in the New Jersey Militia under my draft, or call, namely, the months of January, March, May, July, September and November, in the militia company commanded by the said Cap: Thos: Walling, George Pool having been made Lieutenant in the stead of the said Conover, & Garrit Hendrickson being chosen Ensign. In the year 1779, I served eleven months, namely two months

January & March as a Private in the New Jersey Mi- litia under my draft or call, in the said Militia company commanded by the said Capt. Thos. Walling & Lt. Pool & Ensign Hendrickson, & nine months, to wit: January April, May, June, July, August, Septem- ber, October, November & December, as a Private in the New Jersey Militia, under an Enlistment of nine months in a company raised by Major Elisha Walton & placed by him under the Com- mand of the said Capt. Thos. Walling & Lt. Pool, & Ensign Hendrickson - In the year 1780 I served six months as a private in the New Jersey Militia in the said Militia company commanded by the said Capt. Thos. Walling & Lt. Pool & Ensign Hendrickson, namely, the months of February, April, June, August, October & December - In the year 1781, I served twelve months as a private in the New Jersey Militia, under an Enlistment of twelve months, in a company commanded by the said Capt. Thos. Walling, namely, the months of January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November & December - In the year 1782 I think I served at least four months, but as the tours of service at this time were very irregular & not every other month alternately, as during the commencement of the war, I am not able to designate the specific months, but know that each tour comprised a period of one month, & think that I served four tours during the said last named year - and for such service I claim a pension - David Homan was the commanding General; & Asher Holmes, the Colonel, during my said service; & while in the aforesaid company that enlisted nine months, I was also under the command of Major Elisha Walton - Beside the foregoing service I was frequently out at the general alarms, that occurred whenever the British landed or appeared in force near the Monmouth shores, or whenever the Tories that abounded in the

collected together their forces, for the purpose of plundering; upon which occasions, upon a signal from the alarm guns, the militia, whether out under their regular drafts or not, repaired to the appointed place of Rendezvous, in order to muster a sufficient force, to prevent or repel the inroads, or prevent the plunder. At these musters I was frequently out, but am not able to specify, the time when each occurred, the particular occasion,  their duration, or under whom the service was performed. My services were to guard the County of Monmouth, in doing which I was constantly marching & counter marching the sea coast bordering on said County, & often extended them into the interior of the County, in order to act against the Forces. I was engaged in several skirmishes during the war; one at the Highlands in the said County under Capt. John Schenck, when we met under a general alarm, & where we took twenty eight or thirty prisoners, Forces that had been plundering the County. Another at Co: meskunk under Capt. Thos. Walling. I was born in the said township of Middletown, Monmouth County, New Jersey on the first of Jany: 1761; I have a Record of my age in the family Bible, in my possession; I have always lived in the township of Middletown aforesaid, where I still live; I entered the service under my draft, & always served under my draft, except my said two terms of enlistment of 9, & 12 months; I never served as a substitute for another; I have stated all such Regular officers & Regiments in the foregoing affidavit & my original Declaration as I can recollect & generally all such circumstances of my service as I can remember & deem important; I never received any other than a verbal discharge from the service; I am known to the Rev. Thomas Roberts & Aaron Seabrook in my present neighborhood, who can testify as to my character for veracity & their belief of my services as a soldier of the

Revolution. I always served with an embodied corps called into service by the authority of the state of New Jersey; I always served in the field & never in garrison; & for the time during which the service was performed, I was not employed in any civil pursuit =

Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D. C.,
Dear Sir:-
Will you kindly send me the record of my Great Grandfather DANIEL D. WALLING (or Daniel Walling, without the middle initial) who served as a private in the Revolutionary War, enlisting from Monmouth County, New Jersey.
I wish to use this record in connection with my application for membership in the Society of the "Daughters of the Revolution".
The Adjutant General, War Department, Washington, replying to a similar inquiry made recently wrote me as follows:- "The records of this office show that one Daniel Walling (name not borne as Daniel D. Walling), rank not stated, served in the Revolutionary War in the Militia of the County of Monmouth, New Jersey. The period of his service is not shown, but it is stated in an affidavit sworn to and subscribed June 12, 1837, that the Commissioner appointed by the Legislature of New Jersey to settle with the Militia of the County of Monmouth, and ascertain the balances due to them respectively at the close of the Revolutionary War, found a balance due him of 35L/6/8."
"The collection of Revolutionary War records in this office is far from complete, and it is suggested as a possibility that additional information can be obtained from the Adjutant General of New Jersey, Trenton (to whom I have written) or from the Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C."
Thanking you in advance for such additional information you are able to furnish, I am,
Very respectfully,
(Mrs.) Elnetta Bedle Walling Spalding
