I Ichabod Ives, of Wallingford, in the County of New Haven, and State of Connecticut, now aged 78 years, testify and say, that in the war of the American Revolution, I entered the service of my country, by several enlistments, and detachments, and served as a soldier, in that war, more than two years, in the whole, that my name, is inscribed on the pension roll, of the Connecticut agency, and that I now am entitled, and to receive, eighty dollars per annum, as an acknowledgment, of said service, — My first service, was by enlistment, for eight months, early, in the spring, of the year 1776, into a company commanded by Captain Joseph Mansfield, in Col. Douglass Regt and served, on Long Island, New York, Harlem Heights, and White Plains. In the summer of 1776, when the Connecticut Militia, were ordered to New York, and our Regiment was then there, My Brother, Phineas Ives, whom I had left at home, came to New York, as a Corporal, in Captain Amos Hatchkins, company of said Militia, from Cheshire, — after the the American Army, Evacuated New York, in September, and and went to Harlem Heights, I was removed with the sick, to Horse Neck, where, my Mother, aforesaid, called on me, as his return home, He was sick, also, My Mother was with the Army, three months, before he returned home, and was sick, one month, in consequence, after he got home, — In the spring, or summer, of the year 1778, My Brother Phineas Ives, was detached from the Militia, in Cheshire, and went to Providence in the State of Rhode Island, for two months, and if my memory serves me, in Capt Jesse Morse's company, as a Corporal. — In the month of July, 1779, when the British troops, took possession of New Haven, I went in the alarm, to that place, and my Brother Phineas Ives, also went, and he staid, two weeks, and did duty there, as a guard, after the British troops, had left the Town. — In the summer of the year 1781, My Brother, Phineas Ives, aforesaid, was drafted from the Militia, for two months, to go to New London, in this State; His family, being unwell at the time, He applied to me, to take his place, and serve that Town, for him, he said, his captain, would accept of me, to do the duty of a Corporal, in his stead, if I would go for him; but I was so circumstanced, that I could not go for him, and He went Himself. — I believe the officer, who went from Cheshire at this time, was Lieutenant, Beebe, but am not certain. — the above, according to my best recollection, and belief, at this advanced period of life, is true, In testimony whereof, I have set my hand, and made oath to the same, at Wallingford on this 11 th day of August 1837. — Ichabod Ives
