Attest Abigail Johnson Clerk

I Asher Morgan of the Town of Coventry & County of Tolland Connecticut hereby depose and say, that I am a brother of Nathan Morgan, formerly of the parish of Scotland in the Town of Windham in the County of Windham Connecticut. That I am well knowing to the fact that my said Brother went into the service in the army of the Revolution. That he was at Roxbury in the year 1775, or winter of 1776 & that he remained there until the enemy left Boston & then he went on to New York, where he remained with the army until the enemy drove them out, when they went to Kingsbridge & from there to the White Plains. As he has informed me in the action at the White Plains. The next winter he enlisted, in January, or Febry 1777, into the State line of the Continental army into Colonel Henshaw's Light Regiment. The name of the Captain of the company the deponent has forgotten. He went into the service as a fifer, & continued in the service until the termination of the period of his enlistment in the Winter of 1780. He has informed me that he did duty often as a Fife Major, but whether he had a Warrant, as Fife Major, deponent cannot say.
Deponent was in the army at several periods for which he receives a pension: he was in the Militia & State Troops but he came across his said brother at the White Plains, they were going down from White Plains on a foraging party; after my brother returned, viz in the fall of Seventeen Hundred Eighty my said Brother, Nathan Morgan, married Abigail Palmer, of said Windham as I heard a short time after: for I was then absent in the army. When I came home I found my said

Brother Married to his present widow with whom he lived & brought up a family to the time of his death which took place in the town of Windham many years ago & his widow has never again intermarried
