Porter, in a Regiment then commanded by Col. (afterwards General) Patterson, for the term of eight months - and served his term of en- listment at Fort No 3 at Charleston, near Boston - and was discharged on the first day of January 1776 - and had a written discharge, which he kept for several years after, but is since lost - and returned home to Washing- ton in Massachusetts - And afterwards, at the time the British came into New Haven in Connecticut, he went under an enlistment for one month in the Militia Service, to S t New Haven, and continued in said Service one

one month, the year in which this service was performed is not recollect- but done in a company commanded by Capt. Goodrich of Senox -
