I commenced this tour of service, on the day last aforesaid - marched to Providence in the State of Rhode Island and from there to North Kingstown or Livertown and which of these places I do not now remember. I served my tour of three months fully out and left the Army on the 7 th day of March 1777 and returned home to Connecticut. The business of the Company was principally to guard the coast. There were no engagements of the enemy.

I. stayed there about 3 weeks, and went on board down the river - the company went down as far as Warren in Boats - then marched to Bristol - continued on duty at Bristol, until my term of service expired, which was on or about the 1 st day of March 1778. I saw a Continental whipped at Bristol one hundred lashes, during this tour. Our service consisted in guarding the coast and harbor.

Joseph Birge and Ensign Decker, Col. Obediah Johnson's Regt. We were ordered to Providence and I remained there until about 2 weeks before my term expired, when I was sent for to return home, on account of the death of my father. A furlough was given me for the residue of my term, being a few days, and returned home. My pay was for two months. We were stationed on the water side, to guard the harbor.

I commenced service at that time, at New London, in Connecticut, from there we went to Stratford, where we continued until our term expired. My service was four months, from the time I entered, till I left the service.

Sir.
I return you the papers, in support of John Munro's claim for a pension, which have been delayed in my Office a long time for the evidence required. It is all now furnished. You will notice the O'Neills certificate, which is strong corroborative evidence, in the case.
His amended declaration, together with the new evidence annexed, besides that of the O'Neills, we hope may be sufficient.
Your Ob t Servt. Andrew F. Jackson
