He has no record of his age but has been frequently informed of the time of his birth. He lives in the said township & county, State aforesaid where he entered the service, during the war & has resided there ever since - he entered the service of the United States in the year 1777 & served as a volunteer private for terms of one month each - four terms of a month each in 1777 - the first under Capt. Gunt near New Brunswick - the second under Capt. Wylam at Woodbridge - the third at Chubb's Creek under Capt. Dey - the fourth at Elizabeth Town under Capt. Gulliver - two terms at least in the earlier part of 1778 - the first under Capt. Gulliver - the second under Capt. Gulliver at Elizabeth Town. The first under Capt. Gunt is the earlier part of the year north of Elizabeth Town. I was under Major Edgar to the Delaware. I just heard. Cannot specify the names of the regular officers who were stationed with the troops. I was always engaged guarding three sections of the State above mentioned & defending the inhabitants of the surrounding country, & shielding their property.

I was stationed at New Brunswick. This was in the year 1778. I during these months was engaged guarding & man along the Raritan I actively engaged. After this in '78 he joined the gun boat service under Capt. Hough. Remained in this service during the war but does not deem it necessary to enter into details as he is advised that under the existing regulations of the department he can receive no compensation for such service. He now recd. any written discharge from the service I during the time was not engaged in any civil pursuit. For proof of his character he refers to Rev. S. Mayciff and John H. a. Levin who reside in his neighborhood who can attest to his reputation for veracity & the belief of his services I also to John Hoagland and Garret Merries neighbors of his and surviving soldiers of the revolution who served with him I can attest to his services I do not know that he can procure any other witnesses. For these services thus particularized he now in his advanced age asks for some compensation I in consequence of his great inability I lamely hopes to receive the aid of the government. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension except the present I declare that his name is not on the pension roll of the Agency of any State
