Samuel Church Esq. Judge.
On this 20. day of August A 1832 Personally appeared in Open Court before the Court of Probate for the district of Sharon now sitting At Sibbala Campbell a resident of the Town of Salisbury in the County of Litchfield & State of Connecticut aged Sixty nine 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. 1832. I was born in the town of Woburn in the County of Middlesex in the State of Connecticut in the Year Seventeen hundred and sixty three as I suppose, tho' I have no record of my age, When called into service of the United States in the War of the Rebellion I lived in the Town of Mount Wash-

my town, as it is now called in the South Western corner of the County of Berkshire and Commonwealth of Massachusetts and since the close of the war of the Revolution I have lived in said Mount Washington a part of the time, tho' the greater part of the time I have resided in said town of Salisbury where I now reside. I entered the Service of the United States under the following named Officers and served as herein stated. I enlisted in the month of May I think, but perhaps it was April, in the year 1781 as I think, into a company of New York State Troops as I suppose, and commanded by Captain Jonas than Percy, and Lieutenants, Richardson & Trevirper, the Company was attached to a Regiment commanded by Colonel Marinus Willett late of the City of New York. In the Spring of the year 1782 as I think, I marched to Albany was stationed there a part of the summer of 1781, thence marched to Fort Hunter on the Mohawk River, near the mouth of Schoharie Creek, thence to Fort Plain on the Mohawk, near Canajoharie, here we staid the first

winter, next Spring a summer we marched to Fort Herkimer and returned again to Fort Plain, and on the 11. th day of February 1783 we started on a march from Fort Plain crossed the Oneida Lake and marched thro the Wilderness to Oswego, we had some Indian guides along, the expedition was intended to take the Fort at Oswego, but by reason of some mistake of the Indian guides as I understood, we failed in our enterprise & we returned again to Fort Plain This was a severe march in which the troops suffered much, we again marched to Fort Herkimer and during the Summer of 1783 we went to a place called Fort Stanwix and was employed in clearing & making roads & bridges, and erecting block houses at Fort Stanwix, we returned late in the fall of 1783 we returned to Fort Plain, and afterwards came down to Schenectady where quartered in barracks there until the 7. th day of January 1784 when I was discharged. I received a written discharge by order of Governor Clinton signed P. B. Teyre Capt. Commandant, and certified by P. M c Nair Adj t which discharge is

Now in my pension. I enlisted for three years and was discharged after having served about two years and eight or nine months. The news of Peace arrived before I was discharged. I have had a day of rejoicing on that account. I suppose the records & pay of my Company are at the War Office at Washington, as some time after I was discharged by order of the Pay Master I went to Philadelphia for my arrears of pay and received it. There was a Regiment with us called the Rhode Island Regiment I can't remember the name of the officer, our Major's name was Van Scouter I think a Dutchman.
I am known to Elisha Sturtevant Esq. John M. Hovey Esq. John C. Goffing and others in said town of Salisbury who can testify to my character for veracity and their belief of my services as a soldier of the Revolution, tho' I cannot find any persons now living by whom my said services can be proved, nor have I any written document by which to prove them other than the discharge aforesaid. I was in no battle during my service. And I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present & declare that my name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State. Sworn to & subscribed the day and year aforesaid.

State of Connecticut, County of Litchfield ss. Court of Probate for the District of Sharon
On this 4 th day of April A D 1833 Personally appeared in open Court before the Court of Probate for the District of Sharon now sitting Archibald Campbelle a resident of the town of Salisbury in the County of Litchfield & State of Connecticut aged sixty nine years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following further & additional declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832. That is to say he makes answer to the seven interrogatories prescribed by the war department in the following manner.
1. In the first interrogatory he says that he was born in the town of Volantown in the County of Windham in the State of Connecticut on the 11 th day of May A D 1763 2. In the second interrogatory he says, he has no record of his age, nor does he know of the existence of any but says that there may be such record on the public records of said town of Volantown.

3. In the third interrogatory he answers. That when called into Service I lived in what is now known & called by the name of the Town of Mount Washington in the County of Berkshire & Commonwealth of Massachusetts, since the Revolutionary War I have lived in said town of ever Washington for four or five years next after the war, and since then I have lived in said town of Salisbury & I now live there in said Salisbury
4. In the fourth interrogatory I answer as I have stated particularly in my first declaration, that I was called into Service by enlisting as a Volunteer, & not as a substitute for any one, and I enlisted as a Private in the month of April or May in the year 1781 into a Company of New York State troops I believe, but perhaps they were Continental troops I can't remember the stile or name of the troops at the length of time. The Company was commanded by Captain Jonathan Dey & Lieutenants Richardson and Ferris but I don't recollect their christian names. The Regiment to which I belonged was commanded by Colonel Marinus Willett late of the City of New York deceased. I enlisted as aforesaid for three years service as a private, and served as such under the aforesaid.
5. In answer to the 5 th interrogatory I answer. The regular officers who were with the troops where I served were the

Spencer Col. Marinus Willett, the said Capt. Pease, also had sentiments. Richardson & Kimble. Lieut. Col. H. Smith took the place of Lieut. Kimble before I was discharged. There were several Captains of other Companies belonging to the Regiment in which I was, I recollect a Captain Wright and a Captain Newell & a Capt. Pearce. The Major of the Regiment was VanScouter but his Christian name I have forgotten. I don't recollect any Continental Troops or Officers, but there was a Rhode Island Regiment with us when we went to Oswego but the names of the Officers I don't remember.
And further say that the general circumstances of my service I have set forth with particularity in my first declaration which I wish to be considered as here a part of this declaration and the circumstances therein stated at cover to the time.
6. To the sixth interrogatory, I answer that I did receive a discharge in writing given & signed by Captain P. B. Pease by order of Governor Clinton and is appended to & makes a part of the evidence in my former declaration to which I refer now. But as I was a Private I not an officer received no commission.
7. To the seventh interrogatory, I state as I have in my former declaration that I am known to John M.

Wolley, Eliza Hailing, John C. Coking & said Sales, Gung and also to Samuel Church, Abijah C. Post, Rev. Stephen Beach & to a great part of the inhabitants of Salisbury bury who can testify to my character for truth & their belief of my services as a Soldier of the Revolution. And I state further that at the time of my former application I did not procure the testi- mony of a clergyman or other persons to the facts as because as I read the instructions of the War depart- ment then and as I understand them now such proof is not necessary where other proof is clear & conclu- sive as I supposed mine was as furnished by said discharge, but such proof of a clergyman & will be now transmitted.
I served as a private as aforesaid under the officers before named faithfully for two years and seven months, & I believe one month longer but of this I am not certain for this service I claim a pension. I hope I have given the names of the officers under whom I served with sufficient particularity. I am sensible I have omitted their team names, but as officers were not called by their Christian names, privates did not always know them, & I have forgotten if I ever knew more than I have stated in this subject. There was no General officer with us at Seamen's.

I also state that I have made diligent enquiry for services by you from the time of my service left & can find none. & if there are any they have removed & are residing entirely beyond my reach. and I again declare that I relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or annuity & at the present & former applications have to annuities, and declare that my his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you enclosed one dollar to cover cost of the Revolutionary War record of Archibald Campbell, of Connecticut and New York, who enlisted in Groton, Connecticut, and reenlisted in Voluntown, Connecticut. You cite as references: "Jacket 20863, New York" and "Jacket Conn. 17721".
The references given by you pertain to two individuals. This office has no way by which to determine in which Archibald Campbell you are definitely interested, hence, the records of both are furnished you herewith in the effort to aid you materially.
All papers in pension claims, S. 12448 and W. 1138, have been examined very carefully and the data found have been incorporated in separate reports herewith. These official reports have been accepted as authentic by various historical, patriotic and genealogical societies, and it is believed will be just what you need in your research. The pension certificate number of Archibald Campbell, whose record is on file under S. 12448, was 20863, and the pension certificate number of Archibald Campbell, whose record is on file under W. 1138, was 17721.
No charge is made for the search of the records, or for these reports. One dollar, the amount of your remittance, will be refunded in due time.
