Declaration, in Order to Obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832
State of New York
County of Saratoga ss. On this fourth day of September, One thousand eight hundred & thirty two personally appeared in Open Court before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of the County of Saratoga now sitting David R Bogert a resident of the town of Malta in the County of Saratoga aforesaid aged Seventy years or will be Seventy years of age on the third day of February Next, 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.

David R Bogert being duly sworn doth depose & say that he was born in the City of New York on the 3 d of February 1763. as will appear by his Family record kept by his father until near his decease in 1814. a Record of which may also be found in the Books of the Reformed Dutch church in New York. That he is now a resident of the town of Malta in Saratoga County. New York & in the 70 th Year of his age. doth on his oath make the following declaration. That General Washing having retreated thro New Jersey was followed by the British Army. Residants. in 1776. There was a considerable number of the People of New Jersey took part with the British, many took protections & others were forced into Regiments and companies, a considerable number of the people of Hackensack when the deponent then resided were formed under the command of Col. Buskirk. When the Hessians were taken at Trenton. a Spirit of resistance seemed to revive amongst the people, a company was then formed at Hackensack out of the inhabitants who remained true to his principles. & engaged to serve as long as their services were required & most of those who escaped the various casualties of a soldiers life did continue to serve till the end of the war in 1783. Whether there was then a regular enlistment deponent does not know, but thinks the company chose the Officers John Butwater was Captain Adam Boyd Lieut. Abraham Ellen Ensign. Deponent then the commencement of 1777 & in the 15 th Year of his age joined that Company & served with it at Hackensack & vicinity. as a volunteer not being then subject to do military duty by Law. The Company were employed in guarding Hackensack, the little ferry. Pollery. Moonachie. &c. and in scouting parties between the Hackensack & Hudson Rivers. the English neighborhood. Liberty pole. Fort Lee to Bergen & near Powles Hook where the English maintained a Garrison during the whole war except a few hours in 1779. (Aug t 16 th when our Army took it) In the Year 1779. the early part of the Year neither day nor Month recollect the company again engaged to serve the Country but whether they were considered as Continental or State troops deponent does not know. the company then chose Abraham Huysman for Ensign and the Captain (Butwater) appointed deponent a Corporal and the following day deponent acted as Corporal & continued so to act till he was taken prisoner in a Skirmish at Bergen. & after his exchange in December resuming his duties in the company he continued so to act till some time in February following. And here deponent remarks that Capt Butwaters company were completely isolated and acted during these three Years independently of all other troops as he then thinks and believes. Lord Cornwallis came up with 5000 Men & lay in the vicinity several weeks. Still this company tho' actively engaged in various military duties were not in company with Continental troops. & when in 1778 Lord Cornwallis with 7000 Men came thro' Hackensack & went five miles South West to the Passaic River & then returned and lay three weeks at the New Bridge. altho' the Regiment of Militia composing all the Militia of Bergen County under Col. Deputy Dey were called out and Col. Malcom with the 5 th New York Regiment came to Paramus. & Col. Baylors Reg t of light dragoons had lain there part of the Summer. & although Major — (name forgot) with some Men from Somerset were sent to Hackensack & Brigadier General Heerd with some Militia and an old iron g t came into the place in pursuit of part of Cornwallis's army. Still our orders were received from Capt Butwater — in 1779. Capt Blanch commanded a company. Capt Romain another. Capt Kopper another. North of Hackensack extending their services to Tappan, Nyack & other places north & to Powles hook south. and sometimes to Hackensack also. Col. Febiger with the Reg t Virginians laid there also. & the North Carolina line at Paramus 9 miles West. these last kept a guard at the little ferry. which was taken by the English troops & found Serg t Smith and some others by I knew, prisoners in the Sugar house in 1779.

The Deponent further declares that during those three Years he does not know that Capt. Outwater received any orders from any of the Continental Officers which laid at Hackensack or the Vicinity or from Col. Day who commanded the Militia Reg t of Bergen County. but that on an Occasion of executing two felons the Sheriff Boyd called out the Posse Comitatus being apprehensive of a rescue by the British parties in the Vicinity. Our company formed part of it & had previously guarded the goal on another occasion the Major of Col. Baylor Reg t named Clough commanded in the absence of Col. Baylor. The Quarter Master of the Reg t pressed a quantity of grain at the house of a farmer named Berry for the use of the Reg t & Berry took out a writ for the D o Master & Clough refused leave to the Sheriff to execute the Writ Writ, the Sheriff called out the Posse when the Reg t of Militia assembled and our company were also assembled to assist the Sheriff. In But good men in the place interfered & the Major allowed the writ to be served. The Major was soon after killed when the Reg t were massacred at Tappan.
The deponent further declares that in 1779. he drew rations of Flour, Pork & Whiskey till he was taken prisoner and on eight dollars as one months pay. & that was all the compensation he ever received, except that the State of New Jersey has since then was paid him for his Musquet & accoutrements taken with him.
Deponent resided a few months during 1780 at Kinderhook & then at Pechene's near the head quarters of General Washington where he joined the Militia company of Capt. Isaac Col. Day's reg t and with them went on the lines where Capt. Ward was building a second Blockhouse on the spot that General Wayne had unsuccessfully attempted to take in 1780. and after some fighting drove him on board his galleis on the North river and demolished the Blockhouse. While on the lines Deponent was detached with a party & served under Capt. Hopper. during the last year of the war the deponent returned to Hackensack & under the command of Capt. Outwater but cannot say how long he served. That he has resided in New York, Dutchess County New York & Malta since the war. Deponent further says that after the law had passed under which he claims a pension he went to Hackensack &nsack & after much enquiry found that Capt. Outwater was dead & had left no papers. Ensign Houseman is dead. Lieut. Boyd being Sheriff never had any of the company papers. Of all the Men with whom he served and who retain their memory of his services Silvester Maurice and Henry Berdam are all that are left and only three others are living two of whom are entirely childish and Lieut. Boyd now 86 years old & very sick. emphatically said My dear Sir. You and Your family have suffered every thing & if any thing can be got. You ought to have it. but how can You expect that I 86 years old & weary in the grave should remember Your services.
Deponent further says these services were rendered Fifty three Years since, meaning the most recent of them - and his own memory being impaired by a long severe fit of sickness as well as by time and the usual occurrences which take place in fifty five years of a Mans life. he has not been able to remember many of the events of his military life. but that there was little rest for the soldiers of that period.
Deponent further says that he has recently been informed that Ensign John Terhune who commanded the party when deponent was taken is living near Detroit & detailed to his informant the circumstance of deponent's being taken & his own escape.
Deponent further says that when taken by Buskirk's Reg t he was carried into New York before Major General Patterson then British Comd t in New York & in the Streets he was separated from his companion John Logie (who was taken with him) he was sent to the Provost kept by Cunningham. & deponent to the Sugar house kept by Surg t Hutton. & that he has not been able to find a man living of 300 who were confined there at that time.

And further the Deponent says that the Company held their head quarters in Hackensack & never were encamped nor were the Militia Reg t or even the Continental Light horse or Foot Regiments or parties - it was not the fashion in those days. They laid in houses & barns in woods & swamps & open fields on the ground - the company generally maintained a guard at the little ferry & in the Town & generally a party were scouting towards Powles hook - parties of the enemy often came up from Powles hook & sometimes other places & plundered the place - one party burnt the house of the Sheriff and the Court house - another came to Moonachie and killed three of our Citizens & wounded three others & were repulsed by a part of our company in which I was - another party came to the same place & were again repulsed by our company I was there then 10 of the company with Lieut Boyd were sent to surprise the British picket of Lord Cornwallis in 1778. & when we came into the guard house (Tompkins Schoolhouse) we found it empty. Col Burn had taken the picket without firing & carried them away and the Enemy seemed then not to know their picket was taken. It is impossible for Deponent at this distance of time to remember the various skirmishes in which he was engaged with parts of his own & other companies. Silvester Maurice Henry Denny James Chappel Abraham Allen Peter Allen Morris Earl & others were wounded but their names forgot. If it is required that Deponent should name Officers whom he knew it would make a long list - Lieut Weissenfels, Bagley, & Trelich were Schoolmasters - he knew most of the Officers of the N York line. Some of the Virginia line - Col Ragen & some of his Officers Col Lamb. & many of his Col. Proctor & many of his Reg t . Col. Baylen. Major Lee & his Capt Van Swearingen. Col Weissenfels Col Willet etc etc.
Deponent further says that as his engagements were not for any particular period as far as he now remembers, so when on very short notice he was going to Kinderhook & apprized his Capt of it. The Capt did not offer him a discharge nor did deponent ask for one - or think one necessary.
The Deponent further states that he has now brought forward the Evidence of Silvester Maurice & Henry Berdan in confirmation of his own statement both of whom he knew & was known by them thro' the whole war & that he is known by many of the inhabitants of Ballston & Malta in Saratoga County.
Deponent further declares that he has not heretofore made any application for a pension under any former Law of Congress.
And that Eld r M c Swain Henry D r Little Moses Williams are well acquainted with Deponent and can testify as to Deponents character for veracity & their belief his services as a soldier of the Revolution.
And deponent further states that he served under Col t Cuyler at least three years in those years 1777. 1778 & 1779. including the time he was a prisoner of war.
And this deponent hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of this or any other State.
Given to subscribed the day & year aforesaid - David R d Bogert. in open Court.
