State of New York
Yates county, ss.
Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace in and for said county, John Perry , to me known to be the person making application for a Pension, and whose names are herunto annexed, who being duly sworn deponeth 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 one month I served as a Pri- vate in Col. Samuel J. Pott's com- pany as set forth in my declara- tion: For three months I served as a private under Col. Samuel Segar in Col. Thomas Patter's regi- ment, and was engaged in the same service as mentioned in my first month's service in my said decla- ration. This deponent cannot state the precise time, but says that the said Col. Segar afterwards be- came a colonel and a General. For one month I served as a private

in Capt. Elijah Champlains company, and was engaged in guarding the stock opposite Black Island, this month was in the winter season. For two months I served as an orderly ser- geant in the company of Capt. Parker, in Sullivan's expedition. For one month I served as an orderly sergeant in the company of Capt. Wm. Studman, in Col. Thomas Patten's Regiment afore- said. This deponent served several other months, but he is unable to particularize them. He therefore states that he served in the whole eight months , and for such ser- vice he claims a pension. John Perry
