William T. D. Keermance Clerk

State of New York } ss County of Greene }
On this 20 th day of May A.D. 1832 personally appeared before Perkins King Esq. Judge of the county court in and for said county Jonathan Van Scoy, a resident of the town of Greenville in said county aged seventy one years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of congress passed June 7. 1832 That
In the war of the revolution he resided on Castlands Manor now Callicea North Salem in the coun- ty of Westchester in the state of New York in which place he resided before the war and until after the close of it; That some time after the close of the war he removed from that place to the town of Greenville in the county of Greene in the same state where he has resided ever since and now resides; he was born in the County of Orange in the same state; but the name of the town in which he was born he does not now recollect That in the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy nine according to the best of his recollection (the year with he has forgotten) in the seventeenth year of his age he was enrolled as a private in a company New York militia in said county of Westchester commanded by Captain Ephraim Sackman Lieut. Keller being first Lieutenant Daniel Purdy second Lieutenant and William Rogers Ensign in the regiment of Colonel Sam- uel Drake; and he was called into actual ser- vice the same year immediately after he was thus enrolled. He belonged to and served in the same company during the war when the company or regiment was called into service and he performed special tours of duty also by drafts and enlist- ment when the company or regiment otherwise did not serve. According to the best of his recollection the said Colonel Sackman

in command of the regiment until the winter of the year 1780; but he well recollects that Colonel Shadellens then commanded the regiment the last three or four years of the war and that he belonged to Captain Ephraim Satterwood's company under both Colonels from the time he first joined the company of officers until the close of the war.
At the time of the war he was called into active service as a division the whole company and regiment to which he belonged were ordered onto the service in the same on the lines; but he does not recollect either the day or month when he entered the service as a division nor when he was discharged but he served at least half a month.
In the same year as aforesaid (1779) according to the best of his recollection he was called into the service by being drafted and drafted; he served this time three months on the lines in Captain Benjamin Stevens company in Colonel Thomas Shomans regiment of New York militia. At the end of his service he was discharged but the day or month when he entered or when he discharged he cannot now call to mind.
In the year 1780 according to the best of his recollection whilst in Captain Ephraim Satterwood's company aforesaid in the regiment commanded first by Colonel Samuel Brake and after by Col. Shadellens then as before mentioned whilst in camp from command of the regiment early in the spring he was called into active service in said company and regiment in detached service for the protection of the inhabitants as to rebel the enemy the lower and middle of the county being then and exposed to the depredations of the enemy who

with cavalry and infantry were continually in motion and committing depredations upon the inhabitants and refugees in the north part of the country. At this time the militia in which he was bound to serve was really considered on service the whole time and he who did not appear for a short time it was with orders to be ready at a moment's warning to move. He well recollects that in this year he actually served on various terms of duty in embadied corps of militia and also below the lines once in guarding stores within the lines belonging to the United States as long as four months at a time.
In the year 1781 whilst still belonging to the Artillery company and regiment of Artillery the north part of the country was still a refuge for the dispossessed inhabitants of the south; that this year during the spring and summer he served in embadied corps of militia once below the lines on various terms of duty and on guard duty within the lines he clearly believes up to the first of September at least three months.
On or about the first of September during the year of our Lord (1781) to the best of his recollection (he cannot be positive as to the time but well remembers that it was the same fall that the American Army marched to Yorktown to attack Cornwallis's Army) he enlisted in a Company commanded by Captain Thomas Hunt for Colonel Wight's Regiment and marched with the same Company and regiment

to Saratoga in the state of New York he entered the service this time for three months and a duly came three months and was then discharged discharged at Poughkeepsie on returning home. This discharge was in writing from Colonel Weyant who commanded the regiment but he has long since lost the discharge
In the year 1782 whilst still belonging to said Captain Ephraim Sackwood's company in Colonel Shadwell's Crosses regiment he was called into actual service early in the spring for the defense of the said County of Wash- ter as also served in said company and re- giment on a line below the lines in detached embodied corps and on a guarding station of the United States within the limits of the regiment this time at least three and a half months
To all that may be seen The deponent further states as consideration and proof of his services in the regiments of militia of which whilst commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Shadwell from he received pay of said from for services performed in his regiment from the month of February 1780 to the conclusion of the war in a militia certificate for thirty payrolls or seventy five dollars and he believes a portion was exclusive of pay for all other tours of duty which if private soldier's pay was seven dollars per month (as he believes it was) the amount of his service under said organization have been ten months and a half or a year more. He is therefore confident that he served ten months and a half in said Crosses regi- ment as a private in Captain Ephraim Sack- wood's company

The declarant further on his oath of office saith that by reason of old age, sickness (having been confined to his bed for more than a year past) and the consequent loss of memory by he can not swear positively as to the precise length of his service here but he swears only more precisely as to the different several times he entered and left the service than he has done as aforesaid; but according to the best of his recollection he served more up than the periods before mentioned, to wit,
In the year 1779 three months by class and drafted in Captain Benjamin Stevens company in the regiment of Colonel Thomas Thayer & Indians which he belonged to the regiment of Colonel Samuel Brake of Militia The same year half a month in Colonel Brakes regiment
In the year 1780 four months
In the year 1781 before the first of September three months and after the first of September three months.
In the 1782 three months making in all seven and a half months for which the declarant claims a pension as a private soldier
He was born in the year 1762 in the county of Orange of service
He has a record of his age in a Pension Book now in his family that is the only one he knows
The regular officers to his recollection ever en- camped with the troops with him were he there for does not recollect the names of any of them He does not recollect any continental or militia regiments other than those before stated

He never received a discharge from the service except the one before mentioned to have been given by Colonel Hovey at which he before stated has been lost.
He is known in his present neighborhood to Joshua Baker, Silas Perkins & Henry Bleecker who he believes can testify to his character for veracity and their belief of his services as a soldier of the revolution. He has no documentary evidence and he knows of no persons whose testimony he can produce who can testify to his services except Timothy Vansay, Abraham Vansay and Daniel Puley whose affidavits are herunto annexed.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension except the present as a soldier that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state.
I swear to one substance the day and year of our Lord before me
Jonathan Vansay
