Index: — Vol. 2 , Page 231
[Arrangement of 1870.]

I, Andrew Lackey, of Marblehead in Massachusetts, on oath declare:
That at the beginning of 1776, I enlisted as a year's man in Capt. Fra s Simonds' Company in Col. link Daniel Hitchcock's Regiment in the Rhode Island use line of the Continental Army: when I enlisted, my time had just expired in the 8 m o Service: I enlisted at Prospect Hill where the Army was encamped: - our Lt t was Mills, from the Southward: our Ensign was W m King, now dec d ; - from Prospect Hill in the spring after the British evacuated Boston, our Company marched with the Regiment to New London - there embarked aboard Coasters, and went through the Sound to New York: - the Lieut t Colonel of the Regiment was Cunnel, and the Major was Angel. While we were encamped on Long Island we were under command of Gen. Greene, and we were under command of Gen. Lee, at the time he was taken prisoner by the enemy: when the news of that arrived, it cast a gloom over our whole camp. I remember that Col. Hitchcock  Hitchcock sickened and died at Morristown, I think, in about a month after my time was out. I was discharged at Gooswicks about 8 miles from Trenton at the beginning of the year 1777.
I am the person named in Pension Certificate N o 1493.

A supplementary affidavit is herewith forwarded, which it is hoped will remove all doubt.
Your decision on the case the applicant prays may be communicated.
I am very respectfully Sir
