Ebenezer Patterson resident of the Aurora aforesaid who being duly sworn deposeth and saith; that by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of mem- ory he cannot swear positively 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 the term of eleven months, including two enlistments commencing Nov. 1776 and ending October 1777. I served as a private. For the term of one month in June 1779. I served as a private. For the term of three months commencing June 1780 I served as a private. For the term of three months commencing Sept 1780 I served as a Sergeant. For the term of three months commencing either June or August 1781.
