State of New York { Columbia County }
On this 23 rd day of July 1832 personally appeared in open Court before the Justices of the Justices Court of the City of Hudson county & State aforesaid, Samuel Ten Broeck a resident of the town of Livingston in said county, of age eighty six years, who being duly sworn according to law, makes the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832. That he was born in the town of Germantown in said County, then Albany Co. in the 1745. That in the month of Jan'y 1776 he received a commission of Major in the Militia of the State of New York, which he held till the close of War, when he was advanced regularly till he reached the rank of Brigadier General which he held till he was seventy years of age. Peter R. Livingston was Colonel in his regiment, but this applicant held the command. In 1776 he marched to Schenectady & there received orders from Genl Schuyler to secure the woods north of Schenectady & to push on to Saratoga. After about a month the Regiment was discharged & he returned home. In 1777 he again was ordered out with his regiment to Fort Edward. On the approach of Burgoyne, he marched in immediately to Schaghticoke Landing, thence to Saratoga & then to Bemis's Heights on Stillwater. His regiment on day of the Battle there went out to reinforce, but the enemy retreated before he came up. He crossed then crossed the river on a floating bridge, & pushed on to Schuylerville & there remained till Burgoyne surrendered, when his regiment was discharged. He thinks that during the two years he was in actual service with his troops ten full months - and that he was at all times in readiness for the service

I think that he was during the war in actual service, in his own county against the Tories, & elsewhere, a full term of two years or upwards - And he further declares that he has lost or cannot find his discharge & that he has no documentary testimony that he hereby relinquishes all claim to any pension except the present, & that his name is not on the pension roll of the Army of any state, that he has no person to testify to his said service except his Brother Leonard, whose certificate is hereto annexed
