On this 24 th day of July 1832 Personally appeared in open Court before the Court of Probate for the District of Danbury in the said County & State, now sitting at Danbury in the said District; the same being a Court of Record.
That Bartram a resident of Sher- man in said County, aged seventy three years, who being first 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 7 th 1832.
That he was born in Reading in said County of Fairfield on the 8 th day of February 1759; where he resided until he was of the age of twenty seven years, when he removed to said Town of Sherman, which was then a part of the Town of New Fairfield, where he has ever since resided, and now resides, and that on each occasion when he entered the service of the United States, as hereinafter mentioned, he resided in said Reading. That he entered the service of the United States, under the following named Officers; and served, as here in stated.
1 st That in the Month of December 1776 he enlist- ed in the Connecticut State Troops for the term of three months, in the Company commanded by Captain Isaac Hilliard; Aaron Hull, was Ensign of said Company - I do not distinctly recollect the name of the Colonel, to whose Regiment the said Company belonged, but believe it was Col. Gould & Silliman. He served three months next following his said enlistment in said Company. and was discharged at White Plains in the State

of New York on the 1 th of April 1777. He joined the Regiment at Kingstreet near White Plains in the latter part of December 1776. The said Regiment was stationed there as a guard; he served as a Private Soldier, the whole of said term at White Plains: There were no other Troops there. The main body of the American Army during said winter lay West-ward towards the Hudson river.
2 nd That in the Month of July 1779. he was called into the service, he then belonging to the Militia and served one month under Captain John Gray of the Connecticut militia - It was not in consequence of a draft; but an alarm being made - all the Militia were called out. The British landed at Fairfield and destroyed that Town, and the Town of Norwalk, He was engaged in actions with the enemy at both places, and after the enemy embarked on board their Ships. He was stationed at Cornho as a Guard several days on this term; he served one month Camp in Sitgate in said term - Skinfield -
3 rd That in the Month of May 1781, at said Reading he was drafted to serve for the term of six months in the Continental Army, and thereafter served in the Regiment commanded by Colonel Herman Swift, in the Company commanded by Captains Hill, Miles & Billings on the Continental establishment, and having served six months as a private Soldier, in said Regiment he was honorably discharged at the Highlands in the State of New York. During this period of service he was principally employed in the State of New Jersey, and was discharged as aforesaid about the 25 th of December 1780
4 th That in the Month of March 1781. he enlisted for the term of nine months in the said Regiment commanded by Colonel Herman Swift: with the in

Captain Judas Company, or in the company commanded by Captain Hall he does not recollect which; he served the said period for which he so enlisted, at the Highlands in the said State of New York - and was honorable discharged again at the Highlands in said State of New York, in the month of December of the same year - He applied for a pension in the year 1825 and also in the year 1829. upon the ground of having performed the last- mentioned service, but his application was rejected, and the reason assigned by the Depart- ment was, that his name did not appear upon the Roll of said Regiment for said year 1781. but he again declares that he performed the said service, and the omission of his name upon the said Roll has happened through mistake - all the said service he performed as a Private Soldier.
And he refers to the evidence on the files of the War Department, in support of his last mentioned service, and trusts that upon a review of the said claim, it will be allowed.
Being examined, he saith that at the expiration of the first and second terms of service, he was honorably discharged - and that discharges were given him, when he left the service in said year 1780, and 1781; which he has since lost - that he has no documentary evidence, and knows of no persons whose testimony he can produce, who can testify to his said service, other than those whose affidavits are herunto annexed - Noah Bartram.

Sir
I again make application in behalf of Noah Buttram for a Pension -
I have nothing in my possession to determine what service he has obtained in his declaration & his memory is so far decayed that he cannot enlighten me much on the subject. If I had his declaration or a copy of it I believe I could find proof at the Comptrollers Office of some part of the service there stated - but still absent I cannot conceive why he is not entitled to a pension for 6 months service in Col Simon Swifts Regiment in 1780. - In your letter of April 7. 1829 addressed to Thomas B. Osborn Esq. (of which I have a copy,) you say it appears that he served 6 months in that Regiment that year - I think he is entitled to a much larger pension than 6 mos service will warrant but perhaps the proof is not sufficient. If not he would be glad of the small petition that he is entitled to - Please make returns to me
Very Respectfully

Sir - I send herewith the application of Noah Barham for a pension - In addition to the proof which he has formerly furnished I send the Affidavit of Salomon Rund, an Additional Affidavit of Noah Barham The Affidavit of Rund proves a service of three months in the Hoto Troops in the winter of 1777 which is the first service spoken of in the declaration of the applicant - This service of three months with the acknowledged service of 4 mo. & 25 days in Col Sherman Swifts Reg t will entitle him to a pension for that time and I hope the proof will be satisfactory enough to entitle him to a larger sum than he would be for that

senior alone - I also send enclosed a Certificate from the Comptroller - Please make returns to me -
Respectfully Yours etc. Sir etc. Nathaniel Perry
