On this 17. day of August A.D. 1832 personally appeared before the Honorable County Court for the County of Chittenden Simon Hutchinson a resident of Burlington in the County of Chittenden, and State of Vermont, aged Seventy two years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following deposition, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress, passed June 7. 1832. — That he enlisted in the army of the United States in the year 1777 in April, at Walpole New Hampshire into Captain Aaron Wait's Company in Col. Jonathan Celly's Regt of New Hampshire Troops on the Continental Line for three years, and continued in the service aforesaid till about the first of August 1779. I was in the Battle of Monmouth, and was with General Lee at the time of his defeat after which I joined my own regiment under General Washington and was in a second engagement, — In 1779, and a short time previous to my leaving the army, our Regiment being stationed on the Susquehanna I volunteered to go on board the Boats to assist in transferring Provisions &c, and by reason of being in the water and taking cold was sick, and did not after join my Regiment, but returned home, — my original enlistment was for three years, and on leaving that I was returned as a deserter. I engaged Buckley Hutchinson to take my place who did join the army and served out the full time of my enlistment, at the time I engaged Buckley Hutchinson to take

my place, I also engaged El'kanah Cobb of Powlett to go with said Richard Hutchinson and see if he was received, — who did go to Saratoga, when our Brigade was stationed, and the said Richard was received, and I was discharged — That discharge was I think signed by Genl Poor. — My home was burnt in 1796. and my Discharge was in it and destroyed, — It is not in my power to procure the testimony of said El'kanah Cobb, as he is dead, — my whole service was about Twenty seven months
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.
Sworn to and Subscribed the } Simon H. Hutchinson day and year aforesaid.
