DECLARATION,
IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE BENEFIT OF THE ACT OF CONGRESS OF THE 7TH OF JUNE, 1832.
STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS, } ss. COUNTY OF HAMPSHIRE. }
ON this sixteenth day of October personally appeared in open court, before Hon Samuel Hildreth Judge of the court of Berkshire now sitting, Jonathan Warner a resident of Amherst in the County of Hampshire, and State of Massachusetts, aged Seventy four 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 provision made by the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated. That is to say;
In the latter part of July or forepart of August in the year 1776, & I believe in July, I enlisted, or was drafted, I do not remem- ber which, to go to Dorchester near Boston in this Commonwealth, for four months. The Company to which I belonged, was under the command of Capt. Oliver Lyman of Northampton, Lt. Joshua L. Woodbridge of Hatfield, & Lt. Myles Kellogg of Hadley, all of this County; in the Regi- ment commanded by Col. Nicholas Dyke. We proceeded through Wor- cester & Newbury to Dorchester. Our Regiment was stationed on the south- erly side of Dorchester heights; & near the dwelling house of a certain Col. Clapp, an inhabitant of that place. Our business was guarding the place & coast - & occasionally upraising the fort, in the heights. I well remember Peter King, who has testified at this time, & his being with us in Newbury. I served out my term of four months, & was regularly discharged, but not in writing - & either on the last day of November or first day of December.
In the spring of the year 1777, I either enlisted or was drafted again, into a Company of militia, to go to Lyndenburgh - I think in the month of April or forepart of May. Capt. Eli Packer & Lt. Noah Dab- binson - the Captain I do not remember, in Col. Hale's Regiment. We went through Northampton & Pittsfield, to Greenbush, on the East side of Hudson River, opposite to Albany, where we stayed over night. In the following morning, which was on Sunday, I well remember we had liberty to cross the River to Albany to see our Indian allies - a large body of four or five hundred having come into Albany to join our army. Some of us went to Albany, I among others - We then proceeded to Half Moon - thence to Fort Schuyler; Fort George, Lake George, thence to Lake Champlain, & went up the Lake in Boats, to Mount Independence, on the East side of the Lake opposite to Lyndenburgh, where we were stationed - & where we our head quarters till Lyndenburgh was given up, on the night of July following. This was on Sunday morning. Our Company retired in disorder, but remained together till our time expired, which was one or two days after the giving up of Lyndenburgh. Then we were discharged a few miles North of Bennington in Vermont - but as the country was almost all woods, I do not remember the name of the place - I relate two incidents on our retreat; one was - the head of a hog, which of them was knocked out. The soldiers were killing their Cattle, when Gen. St. Clair, ordered the team to be employed on the road - Another, our want of provisions was so great, that we killed a cow, in the woods, on our retreat, & ate her flesh raw. This term of service was too smooth - I was out a week or ten days over in getting home.
I was born in said Amherst Nov. 3, 1759. My birth is not recorded in the list of the town Church - I always lived here, excepting the last twenty two years, during which I have, till within four weeks, resided in the State of New York. I can refer to Major Gen. Nelson, Dr. Robert Lathrop, Esq. Dickinson Esq. and any of the respectable citizens in town, for character - they know me - I have no other evidence of my service in the Revolution.

our head quarters till Lyndenburgh was given up, on the night of July following. This was on Sunday morning. Gen. Greene returned in disorder, but remained together till our time expired, which was one or two days after the giving up of Lyndenburgh. Then we were dismissed a few miles North of Banning's in Vermont - but as the country was almost all woods, I do not remember the name of the place - I relate two incidents on our retreat; one was the head of a party of them was knocked out. The soldiers were piling their knapsacks, when Gen. H. Clair, ordered the men to be compelled on the ground - Another, our want of provisions was so great, that we killed a cow, in the woods, on our retreat, & ate her flesh raw. This term of service was too short - I was out a week or ten days over in getting home -
I was born in said County Nov. 3, 1759. My birth is not recorded in the files of the town Church - I always lived here, excepting the last twenty two years, during which I have, till within four weeks, resided in the State of New York. I am refer to Major Gen. Melton, Dr. Robert Lutter, Esq. Dickinson Esq. and any of the respectable citizens in town, for character - they know me - I have no other evidence of my service, excepting that allusion in this declaration. All the Assembly in town have been paid off my account and are quiet. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any agency in any State, or (if any) only on that of the agency in the county.

It was not supposed there was, among our State Rolls, any Record of the Campaign of 1777- This accounts for there being two certificates of the Tenantry. Request was made to him, at first, only respecting the winter of 1776 - The last certificate corresponds very nearly with his recollection, as in his declaration. Will he not be allowed for the nine days, the time actually out, & actually allowed by our State?
Will the cases of S th Godfrey & John Ingerson be acted on soon? And also this, & the case of Ephraim Bran accompanying?
Very respectfully,
Your most obedient Servant.

I hereby Certify, That, from an examination of the Books and Documents, relating to Military Services in the War of the Revolution, which remain in this Department, it appears that the name of "Jonathan Warner of Amherst" is borne on a Mileage Roll of a Company commanded by "Capt Oliver Lyman of Northampton" - "Lieutenants Moses Kellogg and Joshua L. Woodbridge" - company on service at Dorchester Heights. He is there allowed for 95 miles travel, but the period of service of the men borne on said Roll is not stated. It is dated Sept. 11. 1776. There is no other Roll of said Company to be found previous to Dec. 1. 1776. There are regular rolls of said Company from Dec 1. 1776 to March 1. 1777 - also several rolls at different periods in 1777, but the name of Jonathan Warner is not borne thereon. It appears from a list of officers on file that Oliver Lyman was a Captain in March 1776 - but none of his rolls (excepting the mileage roll above named) are to be found before December 1776. The rolls on file are very incomplete. Edward D. Bangs Secy

Depositions in support of Jon a Warner's Application for Pension
Jonathan Warner Officer of Judicial Clerk Atty. Brig.

I Judah Clark of Amherst in the County of Hampshire and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, aged seventy four years, do testify & say: that in the spring of 1777, I enlisted into a company of Militia, under the command of Capt Eli Parker, at said Amherst. for two months, the Regiment was commanded by Lt. Col. Hale. Our destination was Tyenderosa. Our company marched on the eighth day of May; we went directly to Albany. thence to Saratoga, or Half Moon, as it was then called; thence to Fort Edward. thence to Fort George. thence to Lake George. thence to Mount Independence opposite to Tyenderosa. Here we remained, this being our station, until Tyenderosa was given up, which was on the sixth day of July following. We retreated & remained together until our time expired, which was two days after Tyenderosa was given up, & then were dismissed, about ten miles North of Bennington, the name of the place I do not remember. the country here was almost all a wood, only here & there a house. I further testify that Jonathan Warner, who was then a neighbor to me, & who is now here present, enlisted into the same company with me, & did duty in the same until we were dismissed as above. I was unwell, & did not return home to get on the list of my townsman. Our Lieut. was Ebenezer Warner of Sunly, & the Ensign Samuel Cook of Readly in this County.

I Peter King of Amherst in the County of Hampshire and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, aged seventy seven, next to Sebu- ary, do testify & say; that, in the year 1776, I was a soldier in Capt. Oliver Lyman's Company, in Dorchesters Heights : I enlisted or was drafted, I do not remember which the latter part of July or the first part of August; & went immediately to Dorchester, through Roxbury - The Officers of the Company were Capt. Oliver Lyman of Northampton, Lts. M c Kellogg of Hadley & Joshua L. Woodbridge of Hatfield - the Regiment was commanded by Col. Nicholas Dyer - I served my time out, at & about Dorchesters Heights; & was dismissed, either on the last day of November, or the first day of December, in the same year, according to the best of my recollection. The term of enlistment was four months, as I have always considered it: and so it is considered by other soldiers in the same company. I lay in Roxbury, sick, a few days, on my way.
I further testify & say, that I do not remember Jonathan Warner late of this town, now residing here, as belonging to that company. But he has stated to me, of his own recollection, as I believe  knowledge , the name of the Captain, & the colour of the coat he wore; the name of Lt. Woodbridge, & the place of their residence, as I have stated above - he also stated to me the position of the barracks in which we lay; & other incidents as happening during that campaign, which I never did then happen; & which he could not well have known, unless then - so that I believe he was a member of that company with me - We believed to different towns, I was then of Pelham.
