I Sylvanus Tourley son of the Mayor of the Court of Common Pleas for said County to the Honorable Secretary of the War Department Do certify that on this eleventh day of April 1878 personally came before me Stephen Leonard a resi- dent of the town of Manlius in said Coun- ty and being duly sworn declares on oath that about the month of May in the year 1778 he enlisted into the service of the United States for nine months and joined the Company of Captain Cox in the Third Jersey Regiment Commanded by Colonel Dayton at Mount Holly That he served out the full period of his enlistment, was engaged in the bat- tle of Monmouth and was discharged at Elizabeth Town. He further states that he acted as a sergeant during said service and a part of the time as orderly sergeant in the absence of one Thomas Cobb, but whether he was mustered as such he cannot recollect. He also states that he has no discharge & cannot positively say whether he received a writ ten one. He further declares that he is poor and in need of assistance from his country for support, being of sixty five years of age and unable to labor and that he receives no pension from the United States - From all which it appears to my satisfaction that the said Stephen Leonard did serve the United States in the revolutionary war against the Common Enemy for the term of nine months as above stated and he is by reason of his reduced circumstan- ces in life in need of assistance from his

Country for support
Done in pursuance of the act of Congress of the United States entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary War" Approved March 28 1878"
