Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty Land Warrant Application File S. 42940, for Christophr Mc Manus, New Jersey

NY McManus, Christopher 842940 " Marcus

I Amos Greene of Thompson State of Connecticut being duly Cautious to speak the truth do depose and say that I shall be seventy nine years old in December next - that I enlisted as a private in Capt. Crosby's Company in 1776. for six months - which I served out. That James Madswoth was Brigadier General. & Comfort Sayer Colonel. I will recollect that there was a man in our Company bearing the name of Isaac May, from Killingsly and that he was with us during the Cam- -paign. But I do not know him now by his appearance. From circumstances which he has related & which I remember, I have no doubt that the gentleman calling his name Isaac May, and at whose instance this deposition is given, is the same person who bore that name in our Company. And further this deponent saith not.
Dated at Thompson this 9th day of Feb 1834.
