Rev.& 1812 Wars Section ILL
Dear Sir:
You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 41221, that Samuel Sunderland or Sunderlin, a resident of Plainfield, Connecticut, enlisted in May, 1776, served as a corporal in Captain Daniel Allen's Company, Colonel Andrew Ward's Connecticut Regiment, was in the battles of White Plains and Trenton and was discharged May 14, 1777, having served one year.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 11, 1818, at which time he was a resident of Shoreham, Addison County, Vermont, aged sixty-four years.
In 1820, soldier referred to his wife as sixty-one years of age but did not give her name.
Very truly yours,
E.W.MORGAN, Acting Commissioner.

Hon. Charles Rich Esq. City of Washington House of Representa.

Mr C. Rich Esqr.
Sir I received a line from your honor date 19 Dec r the reception of which was very pleasing I cannot but express my heartiest thanks towards your honor for your kindness in thus informing me respecting my Pension concern. Although I cannot but express my most grateful thanks towards you sir for your kindness in informing me the state of affairs I was very sorry to hear that there were such difficulties attending it. your honor seems to think I had better write to Judge Hays on the subject as I place implicit confidence in you sir I write I will write to you and your honor will please to forward as to Judge Hays.
The Hon Judge Hays sir you honor does recollect me here! I will endeavor to cite your memory to some circumstances which I think your honor will recollect. Between the 10 th & 20 th of May in the year 1776 I enlisted in Capt Daniel Allen's Company Col. Andrew Ward's regiment we then lay at Brook Lynn Connecticut about 20 th ship for N York on the passage there was a very violent storm which I think your honor will recollect after we landed at N York we tarried 11 days then we took ship and went to Fort Lee where a black fellow stole Capt Allen's pocket-book with 120 Dollars in money he was caught & tried before a Court Marshal & sentenced to be whipped 30 Lashes which was done & while we lay at Fort Lee Col Warrens Regiment was with the Discont y so much so that when we marched to Fort Washington a part of them were left at Fort Lee and Isaac Knight the surgeon was left behind to-

attend the sick. From fort Washington we went to Valentines hill where there was a Doctor drum- med out of Camp for discharging soldiers that were well. While we lay at fort Lee there was an action on Long Island between the British and Genl. Sullivans army, while we lay at Valentine hill there was a number wounded & the men were carried into Valentines house. From Valentines h hill we went to the white Plains. I think your honor must recollect that on the night before the enemy came out your honor was out up on a scout & got in 5 or 6 horses & then the British horse in sight. Then came orders for all the side to be removed out of Camp and you sir came to me & said must take one of the horses that you got, in & take drummer Timothy Raiment who was sick to Norfolk. When the enemy got onto the hill south of us they turned their cannon right onto us and wounded Sergt. Morris with a Cannon Ball. I was at Norfolk 6 weeks and when I joined the regiment they were all paraded ready to march across the North River into the Jerseys. We went to Trenton and took 919 hes- sians then we crossed the Delaware River into Penn- sylvania. Stayed there 3 days then crossed the Delaware to Trenton again & there the British and Genl. Washingtons army had an engagement & Genl. Wash ngton retreated in the night to Princeton & had an action with the British there. Left Col. Wards Regiment at Trenton the British army then betwixt Col. Warren and Genl. Washingtons Army & then we went Burdentown. Then we lay till Genl. Best Philadelphia with his Brigade came from Phila joined him and went to Mor- ris town. & from there to Chatham. There the regiment had the Small pox to that day . and and Ensign Nichols had it to that day.

that there were but a few thought he would survive and there or thereabouts we remained till the regiment's time was out and we were dis- charged on the 27th day of May & my discharge is in the Sect. of Mears office. your honor will recollect that 24 years ago last fall I saw Judge Hays at Col. Doolittle's house in Shoreham and talked the above business over your honor will recollect that while passing through the Gaps Gen. Lee was taken, he left the main army and went all alone about three fourths of a mile and was taken by the British. such & many more were the circumstances that happened in the course of the years that I was in the Army but I conclude that your honor will recollect these circumstances that I have mentioned which will be sufficient to strengthen your memory concerning the reality of my being in the service
I might mention many more circumstances but I conclude these will be sufficient.
W. L. Rich you will please to forward this to Judge Hays and let him ex- amine this with his recollection and oblige yours. Should these circumstances not be sufficient your honor will please to write immediately so that I may receive more substantial evidence

General Sunderland

I hereby certify that in the years 1776. 77. I served in the Regiment of Col d Ward, where I was acquainted with a soldier by the name of Samuel Sunderland; and having perused the within letter, I am perfectly satisfied that the writer must most be the person to which I have alluded, as it would be impossible for one not in the service at the time to refer to the incidents which he has, all  the most of which are within my recollection.

I Samuel Sunderland depose and say that the writing accompanying my declaration, forwarded to the Secretary of War in 1818 claiming to be placed on the Revolutionary pension list, and purporting to be my discharge, signed by Obediah Johnson, Lieut Col. in Col. Andrew Ward's Regiment, I declare to be genuine, and was signed by the hand of sd Col. Johnson at the time and on the day of the date thereof, and whatever the import of sd writing may be, was designed as an honorary discharge from the Army, having served in sd Regiment a full year from the day of my enlistment, which was as near as I can recollect about the 26 th of May 1776 under Joshua Bottom a Lieutenant in Capt Daniel Allen's Company in Col. Ward's Regiment, and did serve as a safe passport to conduct me to my home in Plainfield in the State of Connecticut. And further saith not Samuel his Sunderland mark.
I David Russell of Burlington in the County of Chittenden and State of Vermont, depose and say, that I served a full year in Capt Daniel Allen's Company and Col Ward's Regiment, commencing I think in May 1776 and ending the same month in the year 1777, that I well knew Samuel Sunderland as a noncommissioned Officer in sd Company, that from a variety of incidents which he now relates to me, perfectly within my recollection, I have no hesitation in saying he must have been with me in sd Company and Regiment, at the battle at White Plains, in Washington's retreat through the Jerseys at the time Gen Lee was taken prisoner, at the battle of Trenton. That I well recollect his being a faithful Soldier always at his post of duty when called on, and have no doubt of the truth of his aforesaid declaration respecting his discharge, though I have no recollection of having a written or person discharge myself as the remnant of the Regiment left at the close of their term of service were discharged in a body, and if I recollect left the encampment on their way home, under the command of one of their Officers, with a baggage waggon with some provisions to assist them part of the way. And further say not
