By request Frederick Bum Rev - Revolutionary Soldier Rockland Me. 2882 1/2

State of Ohio Richland county :
On this seventh day of September A.D. 1832 personally appeared in open court before the Supreme Court said county of Richland now sitting Frederick Bumpus a resident of Washington Township Richland county Ohio aged sixty eight years in May 1832 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 the June 7 th 1832
That he the said Frederick Bumpus entered into the service of the United States at Petersburg then called Little Hoosack in Albany County in the State of New York (supposed to be now in Rensselaer Co.) about the first of April 1782 for the term of nine months as a private soldier and was mustered at Albany in the company commanded by Captain Henry belonging to the New York Regiment commanded by Colonel Willett that he continued to serve in said Regiment for the span of nine months and nine days until the 31 st of December 1782 at which time his term of enlistment expired when he was discharged (best recollection no written discharge or certificate of service) at Fort Plain on the Mohawk River in the State of New York. That the latter part of the time he served in Capt Pierce's Company who he thinks belonged to the continental Army but does not know certainly. He joined the Regiment at Albany soon after he entered the service, staid there 14 days and was instructed in military exercise then marched from Albany to Schenectady

Staid there a few days, the small pox prevailing in that place he marched with the Regiment to Johnstown, where he remained in a Fort 4 or 5 months. Here Lieut. Johnson commanded, He thinks Johnson was a conscientious Officer. From this place he marched to Fort Plank under the same Officer. Staid here a few days in a camp. From this place he and one John Woodcock was sent to Fort Hekimer and was attached to Capt. Pierce's company. He was frequently out on scouts but fought no battles. He recollects that Pierce was the name of the adjutant. He was generally in a small detachment and keeping Garrison and therefore does not recollect the names of many Officers. From Fort Hekimer he returned to Fort Plank and was discharged by Lieut. Johnson. He has no documentary evidence of his discharge and service and no witness he knows of no person now living whose testimony he can prove who can testify to his service except the affidavit of Samuel Spencer taken the 11 th day of May 1818 before John Nicholas Esq. first Judge of Circuit Co. N.Y. and he does not know whether the said Spencer is now living, or if alive where he resides.
At the time he entered into the Service he was residing at Little Hoosick near Petersburg in the State of New York to which place he returned after he left the Army. About six years afterwards he removed to Rensselaerville, lived there about 19 years, then removed to Spencer in Tioga Co. N.Y. - from that he removed to the Town of Hector Cayuga Co. then to Benton in Cortland County where he resided two years and from him to his present residence where he has resided about 13 years.
He understands that unless a sufficient number would agree to go there must be a draft, and he volunteered to go into the Service supposed he was considered a drafted man.
He was born in the Town of Lowell Connecticut

Has no record of his age except what he made himself from information, William A. Randall William Glens and Alexander Mann receives in his present neighborhood and testifies to his character for truth and veracity and their belief of my services as a soldier of the revolution. He further states while residing at Hoosick aforesaid he was drafted in the month of June 1781 and served as a captain in the militia under Lieut. Gray. He was first sent to Albany, and from there he went up the Mohawk nearly to Johnstown, from which place he returned to Albany and was discharged having served about one month and received no written discharge nor any documentary evidence of his service or discharge.
And the said Frederick Bumpus further states that in 1878, in Ontario Co. New York he made application for a pension, and that the proof of his service was then taken and is on file in the War Department, and he further hereby relinquishes all 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 any state to his knowledge.
