State of New Jersey } ss on this first day of December Sussex County - } 1834 personally appeared in open court, before the judges of the inferior courts of Common Pleas of Sussex county now sitting. Conrad Finkey, a resident in the Township of Vernon, in the county aforesaid, aged 79 years, who being first duly sworn, ac- cording to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States, under the following named Officers, and served as herein stated. That on or about the first of June, in the year 1777, he then resided at a place called the Scotch Patent, in the now county of Montgomery, in the State of New York, hearing that Genl. Burgine was on the march with his army from Cannery towards Albany, he volunteered his services as a private in a company of Militia of which James Beeky was Capt. in Col n Campbells Regiment (he believes) and went to Salem, about 15 Miles east of Fort Belverels, and assisted in making fortifications there, and served until in the month of July, until Genl Burgine got below them with his army, when they left the place and he returned home, having served not less than one month . That early in the Spring of the year 1778, he removed from his place of residence to the now town of Harneps, in the now coun- ty of Rockland in the State of New York, and arrived therein the month of April, and resided in the beat of Capt Gerrit Adems company, in Col n A Hawks Hays Regiment, and very soon after his arrival he was put into a class in said company and was called upon and performed his regular tours of guard duty, and served not less than one week in each and every four weeks, until winter of that year, and guarded at Clarkstown, at Tappan town, along the North river at Haverstraw, and served not less than one month and a half in weekly tours, on actual duty in the field. That early in the spring of the year 1779, he was again called upon to attend guard, and served his tour until the first of

June, and served two weeks in weekly tours on guard at Clarkstown, when the British Army, having taken possession of Stony Point, Capt Asher marched with the greatest part of his company, to guard at that place, and he marched with the said company, and was stationed at different places near the said Point, to prevent the British army to march out and plunder and distress the inhabitants, and served with very little intermission until late in the fall, when the British army sailed for New York, that he was permitted at times to go home for one, two, three, and four days at a time, and then returned again, and how long he was absent in all he is now unable to say, but is positive he served not less than Four months and a half on actual duty in the field.
That early in the spring of the year 1780, he again entered the service to perform his weekly tours of duty and served not less than one week in each and every four weeks, until winter and guarded at Haverstraw at Clarkstown at Nyack at Tappan town and at the long and short clove, and served not less than two months in weekly tours, on actual duty in the field.
That early in the spring of the year 1781, he again entered the service and performed his weekly tours of duty, guarding at the stations aforesaid, and served not less than Two months on actual duty in the field.
That in the spring of the year 1782, he again entered the service, and served in weekly tours as aforesaid, and served until in the month of September, guarding as aforesaid, and served not less than One month on actual duty in the field.
That all his above recited services except those in the year 1777, was performed as a private in Capt. Gervet Ashers company in Col n Hays Regiment.
That he is now unable to prove his services in the year 1777, as he does not know of a single person living that served with him, and he has annexed to this his declaration all the

testimony he is able to procure to substantiate his claim he did go to the county of Rockland, and there found but two now alive that served in Capt Gerrit Schers Company during the revolutionary war, and one of them not in a state of mind judged capable of being sworn, and those that served in other companies could only say that they see him on duty.
He was born in the town of Clarkstown, now county of Rockland, on the twenty fourth day of March 1755.
That the record of his age is recorded in the records of Dutch Reformed Church at Clarkstown aforesaid from which he received his information.
That he resided in the now county of Montgomery as aforesaid when he first entered the service from which place he removed to the now town of Tennesse, (formerly Hamstead) in the now county of Rockland (formerly Orange) where he resided until the Spring of the year 1824, when he removed to his present residence where he has resided ever since.
That he always volunteered his services.
That Genl Wayne, Genl Washington, Genl Schuyler Major Lee were at times with the troops in which he served.
That he never received a written discharge.
That Judge Shuy, David Ford, Coln Hamilton and many other citizens of the county of Sussex are personally acquainted with him and can testify as to his character for veracity and their belief of his services as a soldier of the Revolution.
