Admitted

I Robert Hain of Amherst in the county of Hampshire and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, of lawful age, testify & say, that in the fall of the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred & eighty two, I enlisted as a soldier, from Charleton in the county of Worcester in said Commonwealth, into the then Continental service, for the term of three years; soon after which I went to Springfield in said Com- monwealth now in the county of Hampden, and passed muster before Capt. Bonner; there I found Samuel Munger of South Springfield, then in the county of Hamp- shire, as was Springfield, but now in the said county of Hampden, also enlisted as a soldier, in the same service, and as I understood, for the same term of time; we both continued at Springfield a few days, when we were, by Capt. Bonner, sent, under the care of Watson Robinson, a sergeant, to Newburgh huts, so called, in the State of New York; we continued at Newburgh till June following; when we went to West Point; soon after going to West Point, said Munger went with a detachment of the troops to Philadelphia, as I was told; and in September following, came back to said West Point, with the same detachment; there he remained until he was discharged  mustered in the fall of said year. During all which time, I was acquainted with said Munger, and frequently saw him - we were in the same Brigade, though not in the same Regiment. I further testify, that I was present, and saw said Munger discharged, at the time abovenmentioned.

Henry Jackson, lay at Newburgh huts & at West Point, in the State of New York, in the year nineteen hundred & eighty two & eighty three, I will remember seeing, at both of said places, Samuel Munger , who was a soldier in Col.
