I Daniel Penderick of Hanover County of Grafton and State of Pennsylvania in addition to the former state that I made for the purpose of obtaining a pension in which I failed because it did not appear from the returns at the Quartermaster's office at the War Department that I was out in the service in the time of the Revolution. I suppose that I would then have stated more than that I was out in the service but thought it unnecessary. I further state that in the summer of the year 1780 the people on Connecticut River and in Hanover were alarmed by a report that the Indians were killing the inhabitants on White River in the State of Vermont. I immediately turned out with many others that are now dead or have moved from Hanover. I know not where to show that to be a false alarm. I was out but a short time on this tour before we had orders to return. we belonged to Col. Jonathan Chases Regiment of Militia at that time but I think he was not there. I think that Capt. Thomas Dike commanded the company that I belonged to it was not a regular company that I was out at the time. I further say that in the month of October in the same year of 1780 I turned out and went to Royalton in the State of Vermont where that town was burnt after the Militia had collected a sufficient number. Capt. John Buell was appointed to take the command I was chosen to the front guard we followed the Indians up a branch of the river which we were fired upon by them. I was shot and the man was shot through the arm near by me.

we pushed on and soon came up to their main body when a short skirmish took place at least in the night it was supposed that we killed some of them they fled leaving two or three men dead in their camp we followed them as far as Brookfield but could not over take them I am not say how long I was out on this tour we went more than forty miles from Haverhill it snowed and  the night we went in contact with Indians. I conclude that I was not about one week at this time. I say that the next day after or the next but one after I got home from said Haverhill I was called out to go to Wiesbury in Vermont in order to fight the Indians the alarm spread down Connecticut River as far as Walpole Col. Bellows from there and some went about twenty up the river toward Newbury and had orders to return were out as many as two days if not more at this time I do not recollect a man that is now living that was out with me this tour. I further say that I conclude that went on an alarm in the winter of 1781 to Newbury in Vermont at the time Col. Robert Johnson was taken by the Indians but I was not so many miles from home and so long since and I am old and deaf and my memory broken that I do not remember that tour so clearly as to give a regular account of it. This being only miles from Haverhill to the further part of Newbury where Col. Johnson was taken this tour I have been in there only four days to the best of my memory. I am not sure if I was there at all.
