Beadle in the New Hampshire line which term of one year I faithfully served out. In this campaign I served at Tienderoga at St Johns and at a place called the Cedars, at which place I was taken prisoner & lost my prop- erty & etc. there, being stripped by the British I was exchanged in about ten days & joined my Com- pany & was discharged at Stillwater at the close of the year A.D. 1776 or beginning of the year A.D. 1777 and returned home. After that I was about four months in the service under Capt. John Bradford in Col. Nourse's Regiment and was in Bennington battle so called. I am now in my sixty third year and am in posses- -sion of a small farm which is under a mortgage
