Declaration in order to claim the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832.
State of New York
Ulster County ss.
On the thirteenth day of December in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty two personally appeared Oliver Dake a resident of the town of Olive in the said County of Ulster, aged ninety five years, who being first sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed 7 th June 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated.
1 o . That in or about the first of January in the year 1777 he volunteered as a Drummer in the Militia Service of the State of New York in the revolutionary war, and was in the company commanded by Capt. Shill . Colonel Abraham Brinkerhoff Regiment, General Horatio Sackett's Brigade for two months or more, and was stationed with said Company & Regiment at White Plains . and continued there and in its vicinity until in March following. When he and the said Company were discharged, that he received no written discharge, and had no documentary evidence thereof.
And this applicant further declares that, immediately after the above service, he again volunteered as aforesaid in the same Company & Regiment for one month or more and was stationed at the Barracks at Peachkill and

was there at the time the Barracks were burnt - and was then there discharged after the full term of one month - received no written discharge.
And the said Gilbert Stone further declares that, in the year 1777 he served as aforesaid for the term of Three Months and a half or more and was stationed for about six weeks at Fort Montgomery and two months or more at West Point, and was then there discharged after the full term of Three and a half Months, but received no written discharge.
And the said Gilbert Stone further declares that in the fall of the year 1777 and at different times during the years 1778 & 1779 he volunteered as a guard to protect the inhabitants from the incursions of the Indians and the Tories - and also to protect the barracks at P'keepsie - after the united States Army left them, and was stationed at different places, for about twenty two months and more, which services were performed at different times, varying from three to three months to each service during the years 1777, 1778 & 1779. The continued change and march from place to place makes it difficult to state precisely the time stationed at each and every place, and also, the time that has elapsed the frequent change of officers - and though age and infirmity makes it difficult to state particularly all the officers names under whom he served. But positively declares that he served at different times during the revolutionary war in the militia service of the State of New York in the company commanded by Capt. Hill Captain George Bruckerhoff and others - and was stationed at P'keepsie, Fishkill Mountains, West Point, Fort

Montgomery, Paskill barracks, White Plains and some intermediate places, and was at said several places or stations for the full term of Twenty four Months or more, that he never received a written discharge from any of the said several terms of service that he has no documentary evidence after service and believes that all the officers under whom he served are now dead. That he was born in the town of White Plains in the County of Westchester in the year 1737 that he lived in Paskill in the County of Dutchess when called into service; That he has since the Revolution war, and now lives in the town of Olive, Ulster County; that he has no record of his age. That he volunteered and was drafted -
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state -
