Absalom  Bable of the Town of Monroe in said County aged seventy two years who being first sworn down on his oath make the following Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832 - to wit.

1818. on account of Property - at the time of said Form application I was a resident of the Town of Huntington South of New Bedford - which S d South has now become a Town by the name of Marion - under the Act of 1818 only nine months service was required to be moved & my impression is that I forwarded to the Dep- artment evidence only of the above mentioned serv- ice for one year - I served in addition to to that year at three different periods. Six months which I now wish to add & claim the benefit of the present Act of June 7 th 1832 for Eighteen months service These three periods of service were as follows - to wit - I volunteered & went into said service at S d Sh- elford in the month of October 1777. for one month - I went with Capt Peter Coots from S d to Fishkill. where I staid out the month . Capt. Coots came home & one Lieut- worth a Continental officer had command us again Coots went home - Genl. Brantley was taken while I was at Fishkill & some part of my company were in the engage- ment at Bennington. at the time of Brantley's surrender - I was not - Genl. Br- antley was our commanding officer & he discharged me - I do not know of any other living by whom I can prove my nine months service - Again in the year 1780 in June. I was drafted at S d Shelford out of Capt Peter Coots. Militia Company for Two months & went first to Stamford & staid at Sheppard Point about one month & then was stationed at New York for the remainder of the time - Capt. Alpheus Tharp was our Capt - Colonel Bryant com- manded this period. was discharged at Old Well in New York by Capt. Tharp Edward Waland of Farmville is a witness now pre- sent in court to prove this period of service

Again in the first week in June 1780 I was drafted by Capt David Wells (who had suc- ceded Capt. Cuttiss in the command of the Militia Company at St. Maurice then Bragg- ord.) for Three Months - We went first to Dumfries under Capt. Abel Godfrey Dr. & in the course of a Month were marched to Fauquier & from thence in a short time were marched to Horse Neck on the Rappahannock - our Lieut. was Luke Sumner - Col. Sam- uel Confield was the Militia Colonel. at Horse Neck - Col. Sheldon was a Continental off- icer at the same Station which was at a place called Kings Street in Horse- Neck - Col. Confield discharged us at the expiration of said Three Months - all the officers under whom I served are dead - one of the officers of Braggord, was an Ensign Andrew Lewis of Hamilton is a wit- ness in court to prove this period of service - I was Born at the Bridges in Loudoun County December 6 th 1759 - as appears by my Father's Record - I have no docu- mentary evidence of service - I had a discharge from Col. Elmore but have lost it - I am well known to the Hon. Cyrus H. Beadley of St. Maurice & Samuel Wheeler Esq. who can testify to my character for truth & veracity - I hereby relinquish all claims whatever to a pension or an annuity except the present & future my name is not on the Pension Roll of the Agency of any State (except as above stated) - the Certificate which I rec d in 1818.
