I Samuel Cook of Plymouth in the county of Litchfield and State of Connecticut do hereby declare that in May 1775 I entered the service of my country in the Revolutionary war against the common enemy as a private soldier in the company commanded by Capt. Phinehas Porter in Col. Wall's Regiment and joined the army at New York under the command of Genl. Wooster; that I continued in the said service until about the first of December following when the said Regiment was discharged; that in the month of May 1777 I again entered the said service as a private soldier in the company commanded by Capt. David Smith in Col. John Chandler's Regiment and joined the army at Pekingkill in the State of New York and continued in said service for the term of three years thereafter when the time for which I enlisted expired; that during the said war I served in the whole as much as three years and seven months, and that I belonged to the Connecticut line.
