Supplemental affidavit :wit of Walter Karr-

Supplemental affidavit of Walter Karr, amending his declaration made on the thirty first day of July last before a Court of record of the County of Monmouth, in the State of New Jersey, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832.
Personally appeared before me the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace in & for the County of Monmouth, in the State of New Jersey, Walter Karr, who being duly sworn deponeth and saith, that by reason of old age & the consequent loss of memory he cannot recall positively to the precise length of time he served, but according to the best of his recollection, he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades, that he entered the service as a private in a militia company commanded by Captain Peter Mikoff he thinks in the month of December 1775, as he knows he entered the service very shortly after having attained the age of sixteen years, that he was out under the command of the said Captain Mikoff in his militia company, as a private, full eight months, that it was in the performance of his monthly tours of service, occurring every other month, that he served under the said Captain Mikoff, that the time in which his said service was performed under the said Captain Mikoff, was from the month of December 1775 until the beginning of the spring in the year 1777, comprising in said monthly tours of every other month, the whole of the year 1776, but that he cannot state the particular months during which he was out in service under the

said Captain Wilkoff, he having quite forgot- ten the same = That he next entered the service as a private in a company of the Militia commanded by Captain John Conover, that it was very early in the Spring of the year 1777 that he entered the said Captain Conover's company, he thinks the latter part of March or the beginning of April, & that he continued serving in the said last named company every other month, until the Spring of the following year 1778, making full six months, that it was in the performance of his monthly tours of duty, when drafted, that he served under the said Captain Conover, but that he cannot name the particular months, during which he was out in service under the command of the said Captain Conover, he not being able to recoll- ect the same = That he next entered the service as a private in a company of the Militia commanded by Captain David Baird, who was drafted from the said company into the service of the Continental Congress in the year 1778 that it was in the Spring of the year 1778 he thinks in the month of April that he entered in the said Captain Baird's company & that he continued in the said company under the command of the said Captain Baird, every other month, in performance of his monthly tours of duty, when drafted, until the following Spring in the year 1779, comprising a period of full six months, but that he cannot state the particular months, that he served under the said Captain Baird, he not being able to

remember the same = That he next entered the service as a private in a Militia Company under the command of Captain Joseph Carpathite, that it was in the perform- ance of his monthly tours of service under his draft every other month that he entered & served in the above last named Company, that it was at the commencement of the summer of the year 1779 that he entered the service in the above last named Company & that he continued therein every other month until the winter of the year 1780-81, that it was he thinks in June 1779 that he entered the above last named Company, & that he continued therein every other month until January 1781, that he thinks the respected months in which his services were performed in the above last named Company were the months of June, August, October & December, in the year 1779, & the months of February, April, June, August, October & December, in the year 1780. Comprising a period of ten months = That in the month of February following, he entered as a volunteer & served for one month in a Company commanded by Captain Hulce, & while such volunteer marched to the southern extremi- ty of the County of Monmouth; in consequence of the slaughter of a party of the New Jersey Militia; as he has more particularly related in his original Declaration. = That in the Spring following he thinks in the month of May 1781 he re-entered the said Militia Com- pany commanded by the said Captain Joseph Carpathite & served therein as a private in performance of his monthly tours of duty when called upon, until the close of the war,

but that he cannot designate, in consequence of the loss of memory, the specific months, or state the exact length of time, he was out in actual service, the second time he entered the company commanded by the said Captain Carpehite, his draft, in order to perform his monthly tour of duty being at that time very irregular, but he thinks the time he was out in actual service upon his reentering the said company commanded by the said Capt n Carpehite was not less than four months; And for his services as above related this deponent claims his pension = This deponent would here add, that it has been only after much forethought & consideration, & a careful review of occurrences that transpired to the knowledge of this deponent, at the period of his services above related, that he has been able to fix the period when such services were performed to the extent & so far as is, above stated, but that should a still greater particularity in their description be required by the department, he feels assured, that his memory, impaired as it is by the lapse of years, will fail to furnish him with more specific data = And this deponent further adds that the names of his field officers under whom he served & the places where his services were performed are as particularly designated in his original declaration, as this deponent is capable of doing; that he was born November 7 th A. D. 1759, at in the township of West Windsor in the county of Middlesex, New Jersey, that he has a record of his age in the family bible in his possession, that he resided in the township of Upper Freehold

Monmouth County, New Jersey, when called into service; when he has ever since the Revolutionary War when he now lives, that he was always drafted to perform service under his each monthly tours of duty, when called into service, except when he entered as a volunteer the said Company commanded by Captain Hulse, but that he never acted as a substitute for any one, that Captain John Burroughs was the the only continental officer he knew & that he has stated all such general circumstances of his service in his original declaration, as he thought important, that he can recollect, that he never received any written discharge whatever from the service, but at the expiration of his tours was orally discharged by his Captain, & finally that there is no Clergyman residing in his neighborhood, but that I am well known to Thomas Van Hise, Nathaniel Thompson & Walter Carr Jr. who will testify as to my character for veracity & the traditional as well as their own opinion, of my Revolutionary services; and this deponent further states, that he was always called into service by his commanding officers, who he believes received their authority for so doing, from the State of New Jersey, & that during the several periods in which his terms of service above specified were performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
