Signature Major Munroe's Deposition to be used in the case of Christopher Brady.

City of New Haven February 20 1823
Whereas Christopher Brady, an old Revolutionary soldier now residing in the Town of Cheshire in the County of New Haven in the state of Connecticut, being about to apply for a Pension under the acts of Congress of the 18 th of March 1818 and the 8 th of May 1820
I William Munson of the City, County and State aforesaid, do certify that I was a Commissioned officer in the Revolutionary Army from the year 1775 until the Army was Discharged in the year 1783, and to my knowledge the above mentioned Brady served as a soldier in Different Regiments in which I served as follows viz
He served in the winter campaign in Canada from November 1775 until April 1776 in a Regiment raised in Canada from the American Troops then there to serve five months under the command of Col Samuel Elmore; on the term of his enlistment being expire d , another Regiment was raised by Authority of Congress again under the command of Col Elmore, to serve for twelve months, in that Regiment I was also an officer, and to the best of my recollection he enlisted into that Regiment immediately after his former enlistment had expire d , and served until the Resolution of Congress took effect for raising an Army for three years or during the war; this Brady then enlisted to serve during the war, under Capt William Satterlee in the Regiment commanded by Col, afterwards Brigadier General Moses Hazen, in that Regiment I served as a Captain until the close of the war (I mention this to show my knowledge of his service)
It is my duty to state that after a battle or skirmish with the enemy I do not recollect where, (he says Brandywine) he was absent from the Regiment but how long I do not remember, and during his absence whether he was captured as a prisoner with the enemy or not I cannot say, the muster rolls of Capt Satterlee's Company (if in existence) will show, I remember that he rejoined the Regiment and company of his own free will and accord, and stated that he had been a prisoner with the enemy and had made his escape he returned to his duty in the company; he was with the Regiment and did his duty at the Siege and capture of the British Army under the command of Lord Cornwallis at York Town in Virginia; I am not knowing to his being absent from the Regiment except the time above mentioned until the Army were Discharged at the close of the war; he was a good, trusty, and faithful soldier
The only time I have seen this man since the close of the war was about six weeks past he then told me he was 78 years of age, I know him to be the same man that served in the Regiment as above stated
P.S.
I have known the above Christopher Brady, name to be pronounced Brady and written the same whether his name on the muster rolls is Brady or Brady, the above described is the identical man
