J. H. Monson of Watertown Atty for applicant

State of New York Jefferson County ss.
On this 11 th Day of September 1832 personally appeared in open court before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of Jefferson County now sitting Henry Bogart a Resident of Elizabethtown in the province of Upper Canada aged 71 years who being first duly sworn according to Law doth make the following Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7. 1832 — to wit — I the said Henry Bogart was born on the 20 th August 1761 — at Albany in the State of New York — I have no record of my age but as near as I can recollect the above Statement is correct — When I was first called into the Service of the United States I resided at Cherry Valley in the State of New York — at the close of the Revolutionary war I resided at Fishkill in the State of New York — I remained there only about one year, and then went to live at Fort Hunter on the Mohawk — with

Judge Harper — I lived there about 2 years & I then went to Stillwater and lived there about 1 1/2 years — and then I returned again to Fort Hunter where I remained about 2 years and then I removed to Upper Canada where I have ever since resided —
In the year 1777 I was first enrolled in the Militia at Cherry Valley in the Company of Capt McKean and in Col Campbells Regiment — Lt. Col. Clyde — and previous to the burning of Cherry Valley I was in actual service and on duty as a private with my Company and Regiment above mentioned a number of different times and in all more than six months — — After the burning of Cherry Valley I went down onto the Mohawk River & then I stood a draft and was drafted as a militia man and was attached to Capt McDilgraffs Company and to the Regiment Commanded by Col Fisher — and of which one Vedder was Lt. Col. — My Company was first assembled at Langhnewaga — and in the fall of the year 1778 we were marched to

Johnstown, — and after staying at Johnstown 3 or 4 weeks we went out to the Block house between Johnstown and the Fish House on the River North River — when we stayed two or 3 weeks — and we were out on scouting parties and as look outs for some time longer — I remained in the Company of Capt De Graff in the Regiment aforesaid for more than two years, and an half and until I enlisted as herein after stated and during the  the time that I was so attached to Capt De Graffs Company I was actually on duty and in the service as a private soldier or Militia man more than one half of the time — sometimes after having been out on duty for a number of weeks we would not be at home more than 24 hours before I was again called upon and in short it was, almost one continual alarm during the whole time that I belonged to the Company & Regiment aforesaid — I was in a skirmish at Schokan's in the year 78 or 79 (and which

(year I can't recollect) when the Indians partly burned a few houses — I was then wounded in two places — after that I was in a skirmish at Johnstown when the Indians & British Regulars attacked that place — General Van Rensselaer at that time commanded the American forces at Johnstown — at this time our Company was out and in actual service about 2 or 3 weeks —
Afterwards in March 1781 — I enlisted in a company commanded by Capt Denny — in the Regiment commanded by Col. Hays — or Hay — the Lieutenant of our Company was named Campbell — a part of our Company were mustered at Albany in April and soon Marched from there to Fishkill where we joined our Regiment and I remained in the service under the same officers above named and in the Company & Regiment above mentioned — for the term of nine months that being the time for which I enlisted and I was then regularly discharged and received a written Discharge which

was lost or destroyed many years ago — It was signed by the Col of the Regiment I believe & perhaps by some other person but I cannot now recollect by whom, — The Head Quarters of our Regiment was at Fishkill during the whole time nine months last of our service but in the mean time our Company was put to various services — sometimes we were put to Boating on the River — part of the time we were employed in making the Garrison at West Point, and some of the time we were on scouting parties —
Mr John Sanders of Young about 8 miles from my place of Residence — Mr Jonathan Hunter of Alexandria in Jefferson County — Col Adair Sherwood — who lives within a mile of my house — Mr William Smart a Presbyterian Minister residing within two miles of my place of Residence — also Mr Daniel Jones a Lawyer in Brockville — are all of them well acquainted with me and can certify to my character for truth &

veracity and their belief of my services as a soldier of the Revolution — —
I have no documentary evidence touching the services above mentioned or any part of them — and I know of no person whose testimony I can now procure who can testify to the above services or any part of them — I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and I declare that my name is not on the pension Roll of the agency of any State
