The State of Ohio On this eleventh day of June A.D. 1818 Trumbull County Before me the Subscriber one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of the County of Trumbull aforesaid. Personally appeared Jedidiah Burrell aged Seventy Years on the twenty first day of February last past now resident in the Township of Weathersfield in the County aforesaid who being duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the provision made by the late Act of Congress entitled "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the Land and Naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary War" That he the said Jedidiah Burrell entered the service as a Volunteer in Captain Chesemans Company (as near as his memory extends ) was attached to Col. Schuyler's Command under the Brave General Montgomery (if rightly recollected) That some time in the month of August 1775. he entered this service in New York and Marched under General Montgomery's Command against Quebec, and was at the Storming of the same. Captain Cheseman being appointed Adjutant to Genl Montgomery if rightly recollected . The Company of Captain Cheseman to which he the said Jedidiah Burrell belonged was in advance and saw the Brave Captain Cheseman killed a few minutes before the Brave Genl. Montgomery fell after which they retreated and the Company returned to New York about five months, for which Service he hath never received any pay neither directly or indirectly - On or about the 18 th day of March 1776 that the said Jedidiah Burrell enlisted for one year in said Service under Captain Thomas Patterson of the Third New Jersey Reg t commanded by Col. Elias Dayton and was attached to Genl. Moxwell's Brigade which at term he served And on the 18 th day of March 1777

he the said Jedidiah Burrell again enlisted in the same Company & Regiment for and during the war was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth besides many others of smaller consequence in one of which received two wounds by a Horsesman's sword one of which was in the forehead of the head and the other on the left side of the neck, was also on the expedition against the Indians in the Genesee country. That the said Jedidiah Burrell was at the Battle of Springfield in New Jersey which was some where near the middle of June 1780. Col. Elias Dayton attacked the British in their advance to Springfield Bridge where the said Jedidiah Burrell at the request of Col. Dayton took charge of a field piece which was planted to annoy the enemy in their advance after those who had the charge of it had fled. That he the said Burrell seized a fire Brand, and persuaded a Colchin Boad to lend vent, loaded and fired thereon sixteen times. The second shot he rendered the enemy's gun of very little use by cutting down their carriage, and near the close of the action a David Bell returned and handed cartridges by which assistance was able to play the gun with such effect as to stop the enemy's rapid advance, "while his Col was encouraging him by bravely doing his duty" the enemy (I think if recollection right) soon after retired. That he the said Burrell by the influence and favour of Col. Dayton's recommendation to Genl. Washington in the month of Feb y 1782 was discharged on account of having hired a man in his place for then retired home to adjust some affairs of family concern. That he the said Burrell (as informed) was born in the City of New York, but from infancy until he entered the service of said lived in the State of New Jersey. That in consequence of frequent Removals and accidents have lost his Discharge and all other papers relating thereto. That none of the Officers to his knowledge are living.

And that he is in reduced circumstances and stands in need of assistance for support and that he has no other evidence in his power of his said services I do hereby certify that I have been acquainted with the said Jedidiah Burrell for a number of years past, that it appears to my satisfaction that the said Jedidiah Burrell did serve in the Revolutionary War as stated in the preceding declaration against the common enemy; and I have transcribed the proceedings and testimony taken and had before me to the Secretary for the War department pursuant to the direction of the above mentioned act of Congress
