I would most respectfully call your attention to the case of Henry J. Mandeville , with a request that his case may be reviewed. If the Department should feel warranted in allowing him for six months service as private he will be satisfied. And inasmuch as he was engaged in six monthly tours exclusive of the numerous alarms in which he says he was out I hope the Department will do the old man justice and allow him for six months .
As soon as you will return these two pay rolls which I sent to you for the purpose of showing the length of the time the militia of Saratoga County was out in two instances, as I borrowed them and am obliged to return them.

He served one month in Sept 1776 with Capt Edmund  James Kingsland 3rd Colo Pa Art as guard on the lines at Elizabeth during the British occupying Staten Island, then following November he went again under Capt.

Sir
I have the honor to herewith enclose to you two original pay Rolls of the Morris County New Jersey Militia as evidence of the length of the two alarums therein required to. They are enclosed as evidence in the case of Henry A Mandeville late of Morris County New Jersey now of the City of New York per act of 7 th June 1832. It is supposed that they will afford important proof in his case as he says he could not remember how long he was out in these alarums and without which time he says he failed to make out so much as six months service. He also says that in one of his monthly terms he was discharged on account of sickness before the term expired and in relation to which I would most respectfully call your attention to the fact that the rule of adjudication as regards disability arising which in several adopted in 1836. as not depriving a Alarum to his right to a pension for the term if he become disabled before his term expired. I have most respectfully to desire you to carefully review his case and I doubt not from what he informs me that you will find full warrant in allowing for six months - Please to return these papers as I have borrowed them from a friend

Sir,
I have received yours of yesterday in answer to mine of the 13 th May last - respecting the case of H. H. Mandeville. You say no additional evidence has been adduced in the case since 3 rd November last. In reply to which I deem it proper to state that I duly mailed a supplemental declaration of his as short time ago - and is I suppose in the office now. The Rolls that I asked to have returned, was not Muster Rolls, they are the rolls referred to in your letter to me of 3 rd Nov - last, I then desired them to be returned, and do now again renew the request. They were not regarded as evidence in this case. They were submitted for the purpose of establishing the length of two Alarms, in which the Militia of that County was out, as Mandeville says he was out in these alarms, and could not specify the length of time that he was out, and inasmuch as you said that he failed to specify so much as six months service - looking barely 3 days, it was hoped these Rolls would make out the specifications to beyond six months, but as they were not regarded as proof, of course they have not been used in any adjudication case, and a return of them is again respectfully desired.
Respectfully

New York June 29, 1842.
Enclosed is a supplemental Statement made by Henry St Mandeville in accordance with the requisition made in your late letter in his case. The claimant is very old and infirm and his intellect is I should think a good deal impaired from what it was when he made his original declaration. The Statement of his son, if it should be found to mainly corroborate his original Statement is the highest grade of evidence that can be produced.
The Secretary of State of New Jersey to whom it sent a copy of the specifications says that he cannot find the names of his officers on his books and consequently does not send me a certificate.
Relying upon the Department to know whether their officers served in accordance with the allegations the claim is submitted.
I am respectfully Your old Servt, C A Lay

The Enemy then at New York & Elizabeth Town. served two weeks, took sick, was discharged and went home. I think the commanding Colo's name was Bolt.
In the 1779 in the winter I was then drafted out under Capt.

One other alarm he was ordered out and marched to Belville and Acquackanunk, also about 20 miles. Remembers that the company passed down by the little falls on the Passaic River - when a female took alarm at seeing armed soldiers, and shut herself in the house - fired four days and was discharged. This fire was in

in the months of October or November I remember, it was getting to be cold weather but cannot say positively what year it was —
The alarm he was ordered out the Company was marched towards Morristown was out one day — The British returned to New York — the company was discharged and returned home —
He never had any written discharge — He has no written testimony to support his claims — must rely on the evidence of himself and his other witnesses —

Henry H Mandeville late of the County of Morris, now of the City of New York being duly sworn, says, that by reason of old age and the consequent loss of his memory he cannot he believes specify any other service that he performed in the revolutionary war, than that he set out in his original declaration which he made in Morris County for the purpose of obtaining a pension. That he recollects that he was out in six monthly tours, viz. One in Capt. Kinglands Company Stationed at Elizabethtown, One in Capt. Dovas Wards Company Stationed at Elizabethtown, One in Capt. Minards Company Stationed at Elizabethtown, One in Capt. Devoss Company Stationed at Squackangus, and Hackensack, One in Capt. Ogden's Company Stationed at Pompton, and one in his father's  Sixth Capt. Mandeville's Company Stationed at Morristown, that the above were all specific monthly tours, but that towards the close of one of them his father sent a substitute and took his place, and towards the close of another one he was taken sick and was in consequence of which discharged. That in addition to the above mentioned service he now recollects of having been out in numerous alarms, which he is not now able to specify, but merely believes that his actual service would exceed Seven Months, but that he will be satisfied to receive such a pension as the Department may feel warranted in admitting, that the amount of the same be fixed at the rate of ten dollars per month during the term of his natural life
