A Court of Common pleas held at the Court House in the Village of Elmira in & for the County of Tioga in the State of New York (the same being a Court of Record because it is so declared to be by the Constitution and laws of the said State, and having a Seal and Clerk) commencing on the first Tuesday in September 1832

} Esqrs Judges
State of New York Tioga County ss.
Personally appeared in the said Court before the Judges thereof now sitting as aforesaid on the 4 th day of September 1832 Alexander Miller late a resident of Reading in the County of Steuben, adjoining the said County of Tioga, now a resident of the said Town of Elmira aged seventy four years and upwards, who first being duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 9. 1832
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated. That about the month of April 1775 as near as he can now recollect he volunteered in the service in a Company of Militia, at Florida in the County of Orange in the State of New York under the command of Capt Nathaniel Elmer in the regiment commanded by Col John Hathorn; that the said Company was for the greater part of that season kept in a course of drilling & discipline & occasional encampment: that during the latter part of the season, as he now believes, he was with many others classed to perform a tour of two weeks each & then to be relieved for the same time, at West point on the North River, where they were engaged in building a fort: that he went there some time in June (probably, the latter part of the month)
and

and remained two months, having performed four tours of service, two for himself, and two for David Armstrong and George Luckey, who were then residents of the said County of Orange & liable to perform such service - that this service was performed in the months of June, July and August, in a company which was detached for that purpose from Hathorn's regiment, and commanded by Capt. Bailey (whose name he thinks was Richard) and occasionally by the Lieutenant John Kennedy.
That in the following winter 1776 he was called out in the company commanded by Capt. Nathaniel Elmer in Hathorn's Regiment aforesaid, and marched first to a place on the Hudson called Hakeat, and thence to Clouster, near Ramapo, in the neighbourhood of Tappan where they were engaged two months in guarding the frontier and in scouting in Bergen woods and occasionally about Hackensack: that he was discharged with the said company at Clouster aforesaid at the expiration of the said two months: and on his return home a few days afterward was ordered to march in a company detached from Hathorn's regiment under command of Capt. Richard Bailey to guard against the Indian depredations on the "Minisink Indian frontier" as it was then called: That he marched from Florida aforesaid and continued on the said frontier about two weeks, & was then with the said Company ordered to march to Peramun in the neighborhood of Ramapo where they were engaged in scouting and guarding the surrounding grounds for about six weeks, when the said Company was ordered to return to Florida, and a few days after in the month of September as near as he can now determine, there was an alarm, in consequence of an attack from the Indians on the Minisink frontier, when the said Baileys company, & the deponent

among the number marched to Major Decker's near Carpenter's Ferry on the Delaware, in which neighborhood they remained in active service for more than six weeks, from thence they marched to Peenpack where they remained some time, & thence to Martinus Decker's fort as it was called where they were dismissed in November 1776 having been engaged more than two months. On his return home he immediately entered in a company detached from the same regiment commanded by Capt. John Sears, to guard the neighborhood where Judge Suffern resided in the County of Rockland, which was much subjected to attacks from the enemy & the Tories. That he continued in that service more than two weeks. In the following June (1777) another company was detached from Hathorn's Regiment & commanded by Capt. John Sears Minthorn, in which the said Alexander Miller entered as a volunteer, for similar service in the county of Rockland: That the said company continued in active employment for a month, when they were relieved & returned to Florida aforesaid. In August September 1777 an attack on the Minisink frontier was expected from the Indians under Brant & Butler, the deponent volunteered in a company in Hathorn's Regiment under Capt. Colvin Shepard, which marched to the scene of action. On arriving near the place where the Indians were encamped, the deponent with some others were despatched to Florida, to bring on a portion of the company which was not in readiness when the main body marched, this service he performed and arrived at Minisink in the evening of the day on which Hathorn was defeated by Brant & Butler. He was engaged in this

expedition about a week & returned to his residence in Florida aforesaid.
In the month of June 1784, a class of men, in number eight, was formed in the neighborhood of Florida (and such was often the practice) who were required to furnish a man for four months service, or submit to a draft of one of their number to perform the same. The deponent was employed by this class, (whose names are now lost from his recollection), to perform the said four months service. He was required to repair to the place of rendezvous at Newburgh where he expected to join Capt. Brewster's company, (of Hattin's regiment), but on arriving at Newburgh the company was filled and he with several others was mustered and ordered to march to Fishkill, where he was attached to a company of continental troops, (or "during the war men" as they were then termed) under command of Capt. Godwin's company in Col. Weissenfeldt's regiment in Genl. Stark's brigade - that he joined the said regiment at Fishkill, where after remaining three or four days they were marched to Westpoint, from whence they proceeded in sloops to Albany, where they remained about a fortnight; thence to Schenectady, and remained about ten days, from which place they marched to L Johnstown and after remaining there about two weeks the said regiment marched to Saratoga heights where it remained until his said term of service of four months expired - While there he recollects that rejoicings were held for the capture of Cornwallis - He was discharged at Saratoga - This discharge together with the several written discharges which he received at the expiration of his various terms of service has long been lost.
And the said Alexander Miller doth further on his oath declare that from the peculiar situation of the County of

Orange aforesaid, (in which he resided during the war of the revolution), subjected to attacks from the enemy and the Tories along the North River, (who were sustained and encouraged by the British forces then & during the greater part of the war in possession of the City of New York) on the one side, and the Indians on the other, the inhabitants of the said County were in an almost constant state of alarm, and calls for short expeditions in the public defence were continually made upon them. That this department was called out in such expeditions along the North river about the Sterling and Glore mountains, and the adjoining country, almost every week; but the circumstances of his various engagements of that kind, and the officers under whom he marched in every case, in consequence of the lapse of more than fifty years, and the necessary failure of recollection incident to advanced age, have now passed from his memory. That he cannot therefore particularize those engagements in addition to the services above detailed; but can speak with certainty, that all his various services, and while actively engaged in the public service, will considerably exceed two years.
That he has no documentary evidence of his services now in his possession, and does not know of any person now living who served with him except William Miller who now resides in the town of Seneca County of Ontario State of New York, about six miles southwesterly from the village of Geneva. That the said William Miller is blind & otherwise by bodily infirmity, unable to attend at this Court, without great inconvenience & expense to the said applicant. That he lived in the said County of Orange in the town of Warwick after the close of the Revolutionary war, and until the

month of March 1795 when he removed to the County of Tioga. That he continued to reside there until about 1812 or 1813 when he removed to Groton or Locke in the County of Tompkins; that about the year 1829 his wife died, when he broke up house keeping, & has since that time past resided alternately among his relatives in Steuben & Tioga Counties having no permanent place of residence - that he was born at New Windsor in the County of Orange February 22 d 1758, as he is informed & as appears from the family record in a bible kept by his sister Mrs Nancy Armstrong who died many years since at Groton in the County of Tompkins N.Y. when the said bible passed into the hands of her daughter Mrs Polly Hopkins the wife of Stephen Hopkins who now resides in the said town of Groton, in whose possession he now supposes it to remain.
That he would refer to the Rev d Simeon R Jones of Southport Tioga County. N.Y., Col Henry Wells of the same town; Col John Hendy, Genl Matthew Carpenter, & Joseph M c Connel of the town of Elmina in the said County of Tioga, and Gersham Liversay Esq r PostMaster at Piedmont in the said County for proof of his general reputation & character both as a Revolutionary Soldier & otherwise - that many of those gentlemen knew him while he lived in the County of Orange and all while he resided in Tioga County.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the agency of any State —

Personally appeared in open court before the above named Judge now sitting, William Burny, aged eighty four years and upwards, a resident now of the said County of Tioga but late of Bradford County in the State of Pennsylvania who being duly sworn according to law doth on his oath say that he is well acquainted with Alexander Miller who has subscribed & sworn to the foregoing de- claration, and who is now present in court; that he knew him in the Revolutionary war in the Town of Warwick & County of Orange in the State of New York that he has heard the said declaration read & knows the names of most of the officers mentioned therein under whom the said Miller served. That he knew that the said Miller was in the service as related by him, he himself having belonged to the same Regiment to wit (Col John Hathorn) in which the said Miller served. That from his own recollec- tion and personal knowledge of many of the events related in the declaration of the said Miller he has no doubt of the truth of the same generally - and that the said Miller served more than two years in the war of the Revolution.

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims , of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Alexander Miller which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides ? yes II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides ? yes III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so ? IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served ? yes V. *Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled ? No. VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations ? yes VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832 ? yes VIII. Has the Court given their opinion ? yes. IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate ? yes. X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed ? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal ? yes.

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? Yes.
XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it?
XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had? He states that he has no documentary evidence, but has adduced the testimony of three living witnesses
XIV. † If the applicant has produced a witness or witnesses as to his service, has the magistrate who administered the oath certified that he, she, or they are persons of credibility? No
XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service? yes
XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? No.
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? the Court certify that the interrogatories were put to the applicant
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
“Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth 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 _____ year _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____. For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension.”

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which the applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable.
†QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the affidavits must be properly authenticated, as above directed.
†QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticated the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the end of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
