I David C. Engell. Chester in the County of Hampshire and Commonwealth of Massachusetts being duly sworn do depose and say - that I am a revolutionary soldier - was born at Farmton, County of Bristol, State of Massachusetts in the month of May 1760 - am now in my 78 th year. I enlisted into Capt Moses Dyer's Company in Bond's Regiment in December 1775 - joined the Company the first of January 1776, to serve for the term of one year, at Cambridge - continued there till about the 6 th of March. - then marched to N. London - thence took shipping and went to N. York - staid there a short time - thence took shipping and went to Albany - tarryed there a short time, on the third day of May we began our March for Lake George: thence crossed the lake to Skenesborough. thence returned in boats to St. Johns - landed, and thence went to Chazy; next went to the river Lorette - lay there some time - small pox broke out - retreated back to Mount Independence, where I was discharged in the month of November. I returned home in early 1777. I have forwarded the proof of this my first term of service to the War Department, and was in consequence placed on the pension roll, from which my name was stricken afterwards on account of property. My next term of service began in May 1777, when I enlisted into Capt Samuel Fales' Company, (the late Judge Fales of Farmton,) and went to Ender's Ferry, in New Jersey, where the Company left guards, there in Nov. I was detached with a sergeant and twelve men to the town of Haddon to guard a couple of galleys, where I staid till March, where I was discharged verbally. This last service was on account of the State of Massachusetts. My next term of service began about the last of March 1778, when I enlisted under Capt Jacob Hoskins of Farmton in Carpenter's Regiment. For the term of three months - went to Providence - staid there about a month - thence went to Wadsworth's Cove below Pocumtuck, where I staid till about the last of June, when I was discharged and went home. Upon this, I again enlisted in a few days into the same company under the same Hoskins in the same Regiment as corporal - went to Starks Ferry - staid there until after Gen. Sullivan's defeat with his forces; a few days thereafter, went to Haverland's Ferry, in the third Regiment

then crossed over to the Island, & repaired to Burys Hill . was a great storm - pitched our tents & remained till the tempest was over. General Cornwall was present. He then gave orders to retreat. This was in July. The French fleet had left the Island. He retreated in the night, our rear-guard skirmishing constantly with the enemy's vanguard. About sun-set we had formed a right line towards the upper end of the Island, when Sullivan & Green appeared with Cornwall and exhortated the troops to do their duty. A British brig, Schooner & Sloop appeared on the west side of the Island and opened a fire upon us. The wind abated - the tide was going out, & they fell back. The contest continued the greater part of the day. We were stationed in the front. Col. Sullivan's Regiment was detached about the middle of the afternoon to lead a charge. Carpenter's Regiment next advanced. The enemy was repulsed and assumed his former position. He held the contested ground till dark: then retreated back into the line from which we had advanced: - next erected fires & retreated from the Island. Next day marched to Little Compton - pitched our tents & staid till cold weather - then went into winter-quarters at Siverton , where we lay till March, when we were discharged.
I then returned home, & in June 1779 again entered the service under the same Col. last mentioned . John Sacoby I believe then commanded the Regiment. The operation was called Gen. Spencer's expedition : business building boats. This last engagement was for either two or three months - cannot now distinctly remember which.
While building boats French fleet were in sight off. Little Compton sent in for pilots - pilots went on board. French officers came on shore - conversed with us - returned on board. French fleet put to sea. Finished our boats and launched them in Mt. Hope Bay . - Staid a short time afterwards, & were then discharged.
My next service was maritine - About the 10 th of August 1779 I engaged in the privateer Providence (the second of this name, the first being captured) for three months; under James Godfrey commander; - Harris Lieut. -

Privateer sailed from Providence - Principal owner John Brown - I went on board at N. Bedford - first made the banks of N.S. Land, where we cruized about four weeks - then shaped our course for the W. Indies - When near the W. Indies, returned, and after crossing the Gulf Stream four times, made Sandy Hook. Thence stood for Little Egg Harbor, where we repaired our vessel, and again putting to sea cruized off the south side of Long Island, and upon the expiration of the term of three months returned to Providence.
In August 1700 I served as a substitute for the town of Taunton, on hire found town, in Capt. Jacob Hopkins Company. Entered the service the first day of August, at Butts Hill Rhode Island, and after Gen. Rockho... have entered the Island, - assisted in erecting a fort on Hill - continued in service till the first day of October, when I was discharged. Some days after I left Taunton for Oakham, where I lived about two years - In 1702, I came to Chester where I have ever since resided. My Pension certificate is in the hands of the Hon. J. C. Bates of Northampton who was my Agent. { This certifies that this Deponent swears not. — Zaddock Ingall. Coigned

And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion (g) that the above named applicant was a revolutionary soldier, and served as he states.
I do hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of the application of _____ for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this day of _____ &c.
If, on examination of the proper record, the names of applicants, making such declaration, cannot be found, they will produce such proof as the rule given in note (j) points out.
Every applicant who claims a pension by virtue of service in the State Troops, Volunteers or Militia, except those who belonged to the New Hampshire Militia and State Troops of Virginia, will make and subscribe a declaration similar to the foregoing, with the following additions, viz:
(k) We, A. B., a Clergyman, residing in the _____ and C. D. residing in (the same) _____, who has hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with _____, who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be _____ years of age; that he is reputed and believed, in the neighborhood where he resides, to have been a soldier of the Revolution, and that we concur in that opinion.
Sworn and subscribed the days and year aforesaid.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, that the above named applicant was a Revolutionary Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A. B. who has signed the preceding certificate is a clergyman, resident in the and that C. D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the and is a credible person, and that their statement is entitled to credit.
I, _____ Clerk of the Court of _____ do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the application of _____ for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office, this                      day of                      &c.
Every applicant will produce the best proof in his power. This is the original discharge or commission; but if neither of these can be obtained, the party will so state under oath, and will then procure, if possible, the testimony of at least one credible witness, stating in detail his personal knowledge of the services of the applicant, and such circumstances connected therewith, as may have a tendency to throw light upon the transaction.
If such surviving witness cannot be found, the applicant will so state in his declaration, (1) and he will also, whether he produce such evidence or not, proceed to relate all the material facts, which can be useful in the investigation of his claim, and in the comparison of his narrative with the events of the period of his

alleged service, as they are known at the Department. A very full account of the services of each person will be indispensable to a favorable action upon his case. The facts stated will afford one of the principal means of corroborating the declaration of the applicant, if true, or of detecting the imposition, if one be attempted; and unless, therefore, these are amply and clearly set forth, no favorable decision can be expected. All applicants will appear before some Court of Record in the County in which they reside, and there subscribe and be sworn to, one of the declarations above provided, according to the nature of his case.
The Court will propound the following (m) interrogatories to all applicants for a pension, on account of service in the Militia, State troops, or Volunteers, except the Militia of New Hampshire and the State troops of Virginia.
 1. Where and in what year were you born?  2. Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?  3. Where were you living when called into service; where have you lived since the Revolutionary war, and where do you now live?  4. How were you called into service; were you drafted, did you volunteer, or were you a substitute? And if a substitute, for whom?  5. State the names of some of the Regular Officers, who were with the troops, where you served; such Continental and Militia Regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your services.  6. { To a Soldier. } Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it given, and what has become of it? { To an Officer. } Did you ever receive a commission, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what has become of it? 
7. State the names of persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood, and who can testify as to your character for veracity, and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution.
The Court will see that the answers to these questions are embodied in the declaration, and they are requested to annex their opinions of the truth of the statement of the applicant.
The applicant will further produce in Court, if the same can be done, in the opinion of the Court, without too much expense and inconvenience to him, two respectable persons—one of whom should be the nearest clergyman, if one lives in the immediate vicinity of such applicant, who can testify, from their acquaintance with him, that they believe he is of the age he represents, and that he is reputed and believed in the neighborhood to have been a Revolutionary soldier, and that they concur in that opinion. If one of these persons is a Clergyman, the Court will so certify, and they will also certify to the character and standing of other persons giving such certificates.
The traditional evidence of service is deemed very important, in the absence of any direct proof, except the declaration of the party. And the Courts are requested to be very particular in the inquiry whether the belief is general, and whether any doubts have ever existed upon the subject.
Applicants unable to appear in Court, by reason of bodily infirmity, may make the declaration before required, and submit to the examination, before a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record of the proper county, and the Judge or Justice will execute the duties, which the Court is herein requested to perform, and will also certify that the applicant cannot, from bodily infirmity, attend the Court.
Whenever any official act is required to be done by a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or by a Justice of the Peace, the certificate of the Secretary of State or Territory, or of the proper Clerk of the Court or County, under his seal of office, will be annexed, stating that such person is a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or a Justice of the Peace, and that the signature annexed is his genuine signature.
No payments can be made on account of the services of any person, who may have died before the taking effect of the act of June 7, 1832; and in case of death subsequent thereto, and before the declaration herein required is made, the parties interested will transmit such evidence as they can procure, taken and authenticated before a Court of Record, showing the services of the deceased, the period of his death, the opinion of the neighborhood respecting such services, the title of the claimant, and the opinion of the Court upon the whole matter.
[a] The declarant must appear in open Court, unless prevented from doing so by reason of bodily infirmity; in which case the declarant will follow the rule laid down for his guidance.
[b] The declarant must make his declaration in the county where he resides. If he should fail to do so, he must assign a sufficient reason for not conforming to the rule.
[c] The age of the claimant must invariably be mentioned.
[d] The declarant must mention the period or periods of the war when he served.
[e] Every continental officer or soldier must give the name of the Colonel under whom he served; otherwise a satisfactory examination of the claim cannot be had. Every claimant must state, with precision, the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the Department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service; but, according to the best of his recollection, he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades:—For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."
It is important, in all cases, to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months , is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state that they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours, the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must, in every case, be clearly shown under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
[f] The law makes the relinquishment indispensable.
[g] The opinion of the Court is always required.
[h] The Clerk must give his certificate in every case.
[i] The Clerk must affix his seal, and if it has no device or description by which it can be distinguished from any other seal, or if he has no public seal of office, the certificate of a Member of Congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other papers authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
Proof of Service.
[j] In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimant's entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
[k] The notes from [a] to [j] are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops. The proof required by rule in note [j] applies to continental troops only.
[l] This traditional evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
[m] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
[n] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.
Handwritten note: This rule applies to all cases...
