State of New York } County of Genesee } ss:
On this 15 th day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty two, personally appeared in open court, before
Judge of the Court of of said County of Genesee, now sitting Stephen Bathrick a resident of Perry in the County of Genesee and State of New York, aged twenty five years, 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, 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated.
In December 1875 1775 after the commencement of the war a draft was made upon the militia to go to Dorchester Hill near Boston Mass: to supply the place of the eight months men whose term of service had nearly expired, and claimant volunteered his services under Captain Seth Morse of Wistborough Mass: first Lieutenant — Sherman, Second Lieutenant — Fossitt, and marched to Dorchester and where he did duty according to the best of his recollection three months. While in Dorchester our Company did duty with the Eight months men, and those who were enlisted to supply their place.
Gen. Artemas Ward had the command of the Brigade, and Col. Jonathan Ward of our Regiment. The name of the Adjutant was — Hunt who had belonged to the British Army before the war. One of the Captains of the Eight months men was Moses Whulock of Wistborough Mass: When we were in Dorchester the British army lay in Boston, and one night Bombs were thrown by them to Lishmore's Point, and returned by the Americans without doing much damage to either party. Being in Winter quarters while at Dorchester, our services were mostly confined to doing duty on guard.

In the Spring of 1776 soon after the British Army left Boston, I immediately volunteered his service in the Company of Militia commanded by Capt — Sherman, (who was a Lieutenant in the Company in which he first served), and marched to Fairfield in the State of Connecticut, where we staid about one Week, and then marched to Ferry Town on the North River in the State of New-York, where we had our head quarters until the following Winter. There were no regular Troops stationed at Ferry Town while we lay there, and but two Regiments of Militia. Col. — Denny of Leicester Mass. commanded our Regiment, and Col. — Dix the other.
While we were at Ferry Town Three British Men of War lay in the River opposite to us most of the Summer, and frequently fired upon us, but without much effect.
Before the Battle of White Plains a Sloop stuck on a Sand bar near Dobbs Ferry, just below Ferry Town, and and one of the Men of War went down to attack it, and a party of about one hundred men from our Station went down to defend it.
In unloading the Sloop Serjeant — Smith of Rutland Mass. was drowned. After the Sloop was unloaded the two long brass eighteen pounders, which Admiral Manley had previously taken from the British were brought to bear upon the Men of War and did did it much damage before the crew could tow it away with their boats.
A few days before the Battle of White Plains, Col. Denny ordered his men to destroy all the Military Stores at Ferry Town, and also all the Stacks of Wheat in the neighbourhood amounting (as was said at the time) to about seven thousand bushels, to prevent their falling into the hands of the enemy who were expected to fall upon us. Before the fire had done burning Gen. Sterling rode up, and reprimanded the Col. severely for his conduct, who replied that he had his orders for so doing.

At the Battle of White Plains we were marched from Tarry Town, and stationed on a Hill in view of action, but our Regiment was not in the engagement. Claimant thinks that the whole time he served in this second campaign was nine or ten months as he did not go home until some time in the Winter after his company was called in service.
That in the Spring of 1777 he again volunteered for Three months in the Militia raised in Mass. but cannot recollect the names of any of the officers, except one Sergeant named Daniel Hardy, because the Company was formed of a few from each Town and the officers were not his personal acquaintances.
Our Company was marched to Bennington in the State of Vermont, and spent the Summer there and in the adjacent country. We were employed much of the time in scouting.
After the Three Months had expired he went home to Westborough in the State of Massachusetts and staid there but four days when there was another Draft of Militia and he again volunteered and marched again to Bennington Vt. and performed service in that region until after Burgoyne surrendered, when the Militia raised near Boston of which he was one was marched to Boston with the prisoners. Thinks in both campaigns this year he did service more than six months.
In the latter part of May 1778 the Militia were called to defend Newport, Rhode Island, and he again volunteered for Three Months and went to Warren, and Bristol in Rhode Island. Can not remember the names of the officers. After De Castings sailed from Newport the British took possession of the Island and our company marched from Warren to Bristol the same day. We staid at Bristol but a few days, and then returned to Warren where we did duty in guarding Bristol River, until our

term of service expired.
That he never had any written discharge, but when we were discharged it was done by a verbal communication from the Captain to his company saying we were dismissed.
He knows of no person nearer than Massachusetts, whom he can prove as an evidence of his being in the service of the United States, and does not know positively that any witnesses of that fact are living.
Claimant further states, that he was born in the town of Westborough in the County of Worcester in the State of Massachusetts, on the 15 th of January A.D. 1757 and has the record of his age in an old Cyphering Book which he used at School when a boy, and knows that he was born at that in that year from what his parents told him at that time.
That at early time when he was called into service he lived in Westborough aforesaid, where he resided until he was about thirty years of age, when he removed to Litchfield in the County of Herkimer and State of New-York, where he lived until October 1822, when he removed to Perry in the County of Genesee and State of New-York, where he has resided since that time.
He hereby relinquishes 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 any State.

The following is the amendment of the foregoing application of Stephen Bathrick of Perry Genesee county for a pension.
On the Genesee county ss: On the 8 th day of October A.D. 1833 personally appeared before me, the undersigned a Justice of the Peace in and for the town of Perry and county of Genesee, Stephen Bathrick before mentioned, who being by me duly sworn, deposes and saith, that by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service; but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, namely; in the year 1775, three months. In the year 1776 nine months. The name of the Captain was Asa or Asaph Sherman, and Seth Morse who was a captain in the company applicant served served in 1775, this year served voluntarily served as first Lieut. on account of the failure of the 1 st Lieut. of the company to serve, the Second Lieut. was Amos Rice. The name of the Colonel was — Denny, Lieut. Colonel Nathan Tyler, Adjutant — Jaff-
In the year 1777 the first campaign was three months, which he fully served under Captain — Lyon. During this campaign many deserted for fear that they should be placed under the command of General Schuyler, who was suspected of being favorable to the interests of the enemy.
The second enlistment in 1777 was for three months, which expired the day before Burgoyne surrendered, and immediately after his surrender, applicant volunteered with the Regiment in which he served to guard the prisoners on their march to Boston. This service applicant thinks occupied at least one month.

In 1779 three Months, the name of the second Lieut. was Joseph Bond, other officers not recollected.
During the whole term of service which applicant thinks could not be less than stated above, he served as a private, and was not employed in any civil pursuit; and for the services so rendered he claims a pension. Applicant further states that he has sent several letters to Massachusetts to his former friends to obtain some further testimony as to his service but has not as yet had any answers, and does not know that any persons are now living who can give any information on the subject. He has however obtained the following affidavit from Jones Wood, who as he states was a small boy when applicant entered the service of his country.

Since the examination of these Papers it has been discovered that there are Rolls of the Militia in the Office of the Secretary of the State of Mass.

will be indispensable to a favorable action upon his case. The facts stated will afford one of the principal means of corroborating the declaration of the applicant, if true, or of detecting the imposition, if one be attempted; and unless, therefore, these are amply and clearly set forth, no favorable decision can be expected. All applicants will appear before some Court of Record in the County, in which they reside, and there subscribe and be sworn to, one of the declarations above provided, according to the nature of his case.
The Court will propound the following ( m ) interrogatories to all applicants for a pension, on account of service in the Militia, State troops, or Volunteers, except the Militia of New Hampshire and the State troops of Virginia.
 1. Where and in what year were you born?  2. Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?  3. Where were you living when called into service; where have you lived since the Revolutionary war, and where do you now live?  4. How were you called into service; were you drafted, did you volunteer, or were you a substitute? And if a substitute, for whom?  5. State the names of some of the Regular Officers, who were with the troops, where you served; such Continental and Militia Regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your services.  6. { To a Soldier. } Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it given and what has become of it? { To an Officer. } Did you ever receive a commission, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what has become of it? 
7. State the names of persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood, and who can testify as to your character for veracity, and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution.
The Court will see that the answers to these questions are embodied in the declaration, and they are requested to annex their opinions of the truth of the statement of the applicant.
The applicant will further produce in Court, if the same can be done, in the opinion of the Court, without too much expense and inconvenience to him, two respectable persons -one of whom should be the nearest clergyman, if one lives in the immediate vicinity of such applicant, who can testify, from their acquaintance with him, that they believe he is of the age he represents, and that he is reputed and believed in the neighborhood to have been a Revolutionary soldier, and that they concur in that opinion. If one of these persons is a Clergyman, the Court will so certify, and they will also certify, to the character and standing of other persons, giving such certificates.
The traditional evidence of service is deemed very important, in the absence of any direct proof, except the declaration of the party. And the Courts are requested to be very particular in the enquiry whether the belief is general, and whether any doubts have ever existed upon the subject.
Applicants unable to appear in Court by reason of bodily infirmity, may make the declaration before required, and submit to the examination, before a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record of the proper county, and the Judge or Justice will execute the duties, which the Court is herein requested to perform, and will also certify that the applicant cannot, from bodily infirmity, attend the Court.
Whenever any official act is required to be done by a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or by a Justice of the peace, the certificate of the Secretary of State or Territory, or of the proper Clerk of the Court or County, under his seal of office, will be annexed, stating that such person is a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or a Justice of the Peace, and that the signature annexed is his genuine signature.
No payments can be made on account of the services of any person, who may have died before the taking effect of the act of June 7, 1832; and in case of death subsequent thereto, and before the declaration herein required is made, the parties interested will transmit such evidence as they can procure, taken and authenticated before a Court of Record, showing the services of the deceased, the period of his death, the opinion of the neighborhood respecting such services, the title of the claimant, and the opinion of the Court upon the whole matter.
[a] The declarant must appear in open Court, unless prevented from doing so by reason of bodily infirmity; in which case the declarant will follow the rule laid down for his guidance.
[b] The declarant must make his declaration in the county where he resides. If he should fail to do so, he must assign a sufficient reason for not conforming to the rule.
[c] The age of the claimant must invariably be mentioned.
[d] The declarant must mention the period or periods of the war when he served.
[e] Every continental officer or soldier must give the name of the Colonel under whom he served; otherwise a satisfactory examination of the claim cannot be had. Every claimant must state, with precision, the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the Department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service; but, according to the best of his recollection, he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades:—For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____. For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."
It is important, in all cases, to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months , is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state that they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours, the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must, in every case, be clearly shown under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
[f] The law makes the relinquishment indispensable.
[g] The opinion of the Court is always required.
[h] The Clerk must give his certificate in every case.
[i] The Clerk must affix his seal, and if it has no device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal, or if he has no public seal of office, the certificate of a Member of Congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other papers authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
Proof of Service.
[j] In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimant's entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
□ The notes from [a] to [i] are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops. The proof required by rule in note [j] applies to continental troops only.
[k] This traditional evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
[l] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
[m] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

Supplemental Declaration of Stephen Bathrick, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Con- gress of June 7, 1832.
Wason L. Smith, Agent Henry Grenoble N. Clark

Supplemental Declaration of Stephen Bathrick, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832.
State of New York, } ss. County of Genesee, } ss.
Stephen Bathrick, of the town of Perry, in said County, being duly sworn, deposes and says, that he is eighty-three years of age, that he was born in the town of Westborough, in the County of Worcester, in the State of Massachusetts, where he resided when he entered the service of the United States, and served in the manner following: viz.
1. In the month of December, 1775, he volunteered for three months, and served for that period in a Company of Militia under the command of Capt. Seth of Peterborough Morse, Lieut. Joseph of Boston Sherman, and 2 nd Lieutenant J. of Shrewsbury Fasset, at Westborough, aforesaid. The service was performed near Boston, at Dorchester Hill, in company with some eight months men whose term of service was about to expire. The Regiment to which this deponent belonged, was commanded by Col. Jonathan Ward, of which — Regt. who previously belonged to the British service, was adjutant.
2. About the first of April, 1876, he volunteered for nine months, and served for that period in a militia company commanded by Capt. Sherman, who was Lieutenant in the before mentioned tour of service; - The Regimental officers were Col. Dana or Denny, Lieut. Col. Tyler, Adjutant Taft, and Surgeon Dine. The service was rendered at Tarrytown, Westchester County, New York, where the Regiment to which this deponent belonged was stationed, until the following winter, in company with another Regiment of Massachusetts militia, commanded by Col. Converse. Some of the events which occurred under the observation of this deponent, while in service at Tarrytown aforesaid, are mentioned in his declaration heretofore forwarded to the Pension Office.

Seth Morse, who was Captain in his first tour of service went as Lieutenant in the second tour because the Lieutenant who should have gone was sick when the Company marched. The name of the 2 d Lieut. was Amos Rice of Northbury Mass.
3. In the Spring of the year 1777, he volunteered for three months, into a company of militia raised in Westborough, aforesaid, and some of the neighboring towns; - and served the period for which he entered the service, in and about Bennington, Vermont, principally engaged in scouting. Nathan Fisher of Westborough was Captain of this Company. He cannot recollect the names of the Regimental Officers, because the Regiment was not together much of the time, and they were not his personal acquaintance.
4. In the summer of 1777, after the expiration of the last mentioned tour of service, he returned to Westborough, aforesaid, and staid four days, when another draft of the militia was made, and he volunteered into a company of militia raised in Westborough and its vicinity, names of the officers are not recalled under the command of Capt. Fisher, of Westborough : - This deponent then returned to Bennington, and continued in service at that place, and in the vicinity, until the surrender of Burgoyne, when the Company to which this deponent belonged, with other companies of militia raised near Boston, marched to Boston, with the prisoners, where this deponent was discharged, having been in service in this tour at least three  two months.
5. In the latter part of May, 1778 a call was made upon the militia for the defence of Newport, Rhode Island, and he enlisted for three  two months, under Captain Syon, of Grafton, County of Worcester, aforesaid, and marched to Warren, Rhode Island. When the British took possession of the Island, the Company to which this deponent belonged, marched to Bristol, and staid a few days, then returned to Warren, and remained until the expiration of his term of service, principally engaged in guarding Bristol river.

This deponent further states, that by reason of age and the consequent failure of memory he cannot state the circumstances of each term of service with that particularity which might be desirable, but thinks he has made no statement which is not in strict conformity with the truth.

Commonwealth of Massachusetts } ss. County of Suffolk
I. Abijah Stone of Westboro', in the County of Worcester, and Commonwealth aforesaid, on oath depose and say, that I have been a resident of said West- -boro' for the last thirty one years, and that my age is fifty five years.
Having been furnished with the annexed statements from A. S. Lynde Esquire, of War- -saw, Wyoming County, State of New York, with the re- -quest to furnish such evidence as could be obtained -from the Town Books & Papers and other sources of the Revolutionary services of Stephen Bathnick formerly an inhabitant of this town. I hereby make the follow- -ing statement.
That I have carefully examined all the papers now in the possession of the Town and on file in the Powder House in said Town and the following is the result.
The names of Stephen Bathnick and eighteen others are borne upon a certificate signed by Seth Morse Captain of which the following is a true copy.
"March 12 th 1777. This may certify that these persons went with me to York in the two months service and 7 days!" On the back of the same paper is another receipt dated Westboro' March 27 th 1777. for going to "Horse-neck" but Bathnick's name does not appear as having received his pay it being apparently a different receipt as other names appear. The name of Stephen Bathnick is borne upon a list of men raised as follows. Westborough July ye 23 d 1777. Agreeable to Order. Receiv d from Col. Job Cushing to raise one half of the Alarm list-

and Training Band within said Town in order to march in defence of the United States, I the subscriber hereby order the following named persons to appear at the Meeting-House in said Westboro on the 24. th day of this instant July at 11 o'clock A.M. compleat in arms and Ammunition as the law directs with six days provision in order to march to Grafton and there remain till further orders." (Signed for Moses Wheelock - Dr. Col. and signed Capt. Edmund Brigham and 33 others on list including Bathrick's name. On the back of the same paper under the head of "Names of men who are gone to the Northward Department" the name of Stephen Bathrick appears with 12 others.
On a paper (without date) containing in one column, "names of those men that went to the Westward with Captain Edmund Brigham," "Those that went to Hadley on alarm with Captain Brigham" "Those that went to Sull's mill with Lt. Groot," I find in the list under the head of "The names of those men who went to Benington on alarm and tarryed until discharged" Lieut. Levi Warren, Stephen Bathrick and some 23 others" no time of service is given. a part of the men received $2 dollars, but Bathrick and 11 others "21 1/2 dollars each man" This service might have been under Lieut. Groot. From the date on another paper this service is supposed to have been in August 1777. and may have been the 1 st or 2 d term spoken of by him, it is not known which.
The name of said Stephen Bathrick is borne upon the following receipt for service

to Rhode Island, with 10 others. "Westborough June 4. 20 th 1778. Then received of Eli Whitney Town Treasurer, and the subscribers the sum of eighteen pounds each of us for insisting to go to Providence for the space of twenty one days after we arrive in Camp we say received by us"
Papers marked No. 1. D 2. = are original receipts signed by Ezra Dake who was the brother of Joseph Dake who was a Commissary General of Provisions, a resident of Westboro', and who is doubtless well known to the Department as such, and may go to show that there was a Col. Denney or Dana in '76. or certainly in the beginning of '77. and will account for Bathrick's mistake if any was made by him, in declaring under Col. Denney in '76. -
From all that I can learn I think that Bathrick must have served under Col. Samuel Denney of Leicester. - Lieutenant Col. Tyler belonged to Uxbridge, Adjutant Tapp to Uxbridge, and Sergeant Dix in Worcester.
In regard to the names of men whom Bathrick states were out with him, I find nearly all as set forth, all of which appears by original receipts and papers in charge of the town. viz. In. '75 John Warren, Rufus Furbish. Simon Bellows. " '76. J. Andrews, Geo Andrews, A. Beeman, J. Stockwell, Thos. Warren Paul Brigham, Amasa Maynard (enlist) " '77 Abn Beeman. Sam d Hardy Sam d Warren - " '78 Benj. P. Maynard, Caleb Harrington, Sam d Reed - others might be found.
I have seen the following persons now living to wit: (and to these Bathrick refers.)
"Uncle Nat" as he is usually called, his real name being Nathaniel Andrews, who is now a pensioner under the law of 1832. Knew him personally, was

not out with Bathrick, but has no doubt but that he served as set forth.
Nathaniel Stone Esquire now an acting Magistrate of this Commonwealth and a pensioner under the act of 32. & a resident of Shrewsbury in this Commonwealth. was acquainted with Bathrick, was not in the same company with him, but has no doubt that he served as he has declared.
Luther Maynard of Westboro', a neighbour of Bathrick, and who has always been acquainted with him, was not out in service, but is satisfied that Bathrick's statements are correct. with regard to his own service.
I have been informed that there were two Captains of the name of Sherman, viz Asa & Nathaniel from the town of Grafton; and I have also been informed that while the troops were in New York, Capt. Morse returned to Westboro', to see Commissary Barker in regard to forwarding provisions to the troops under his command and it is probable that during his absence Lieut. Sherman took command of his company - This last fact I have from Josiah Handy, then a boy & who lived with Captain Morse after his return from the army.
Hijah Stone

SECRETARY'S OFFICE
Jan. 11th 1834.
SIR,
I HAVE received your letter requesting me to examine the rolls in this office for evidence of the services of
Stephen C. Bathrick
in the Revolutionary War. Thousands of similar applications have been made; and they are daily presented in such numbers, that it is impossible for me or my clerks personally to attend to them, without neglecting the usual business of the office. I therefore found it necessary to establish a rule (of which public notice was given) requiring that examinations should be made by the applicants themselves, or their friends or agents. They are allowed free access to the rolls and records, and every facility in my power to afford. If they discover any evidence of the services claimed, they are furnished with blanks for the purpose of preparing certificates for my signature. These certificates are compared by me or one of the clerks with the rolls pointed out to us, and, if true, they are signed by me. This is cheerfully done without any charge. Nothing has ever been asked or received for these services by any one connected with the office. I believe this is all that can be reasonably required of me; and all that can be done without neglecting my incumbent duties.
There are two gentlemen (Messrs. HOMER and WHITE) who, for some time past have been constantly employed in assisting the old soldiers, and who expect a trifling remuneration for their trouble in making the search and preparing the necessary certificate. As, for the reasons already stated, I cannot myself attend to the case stated by you, I shall place it in the hands of these gentlemen for investigation, and request them to communicate to you the result.
The rolls in this office, though numerous, are very defective, irregular, and incomplete, a fact of which the War Department at Washington is well informed. It is therefore always uncertain whether the services claimed, although they may have been faithfully rendered, can be proved by our records. In a majority of cases, a part only of the service can be shown from the existing rolls. Whatever evidence can be discovered, will be furnished to you at a small charge by the gentlemen whom I have mentioned.
I am, respectfully, your obedient servant,
Edward D. Bangs. Secy
Mr Samuel Bowd

Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Secretary's Office, Jan y 31 st 1834.
I hereby Certify, That, from an examination of the Books and Documents, relating to Military Services in the War of the Revolution, which remain in this Department, it appears that the name of Stephen Bathrick, as a private, is found on a Pay Roll of Capt. Eph d Lyon's Company, in Col. Wades Regt. where he is allowed from June 24 th to July 13 th 1778, for services and travel, twenty six days. — — — — — Ms. A. 9. 2. 26 Stephen Bathrick claims for services under Capt. Seth Morse, in 1775; the roll of Capt. Seth Morse's Company for fourteen days from April 19 th 75, is found, but the name of Stephen Bathrick is not borne thereon. Stephen Bathrick claims for services under Capt. Sherman, in Col. Dennys Regt. in 1776, and under Capt. Lyon for further services, in 1777; also under D r Joseph Bond, in 1779, the rolls which he describes are not found in this Office. —

Hon. J. L. Edwards Sir
I forward with Stephen Bathricks Declaration two letters from E.D. Bangs Esq re but have not obtained that proof which would have been adv wished to have made his case clear before you - Applicant is unfortunate in not being able to procure that testimony in his favor in regard to his services in the United States service during the War of the Revolution which would have been satisfactory to you for he is truly as the Poet describes "A Poor but honest soldier," his character for truth and veracity stands unimpeached ... not a man in the circle of his acquaintance doubts the truth of his declaration. and Sir did I not confidently believe the man to be truly a soldier of the Revolution and that his statements are strictly true I should not have attended the agency of his business but Sir you have your business to do according to the instruction given for your guide I hope you will do justice to the Applicant - yours
Samuel Howan
It will be seen that Applicant has in the affidavit annexed to his amended Declaration given some light on the subject of his going from home in to the service service.

Perry, Genesee Co. N.Y. March 12, 1840.
Sir,
A re-examination of the claim of Stephen Bathrick, whose papers are on file in the Pension Office, is requested. A supplemental declaration, is herein enclosed, in which the names of the officers under whom he served, and the length of each tour of service, are more fully and definitely stated, than in his original declaration. — The delay which has been made in presenting this case for final decision, I understand, is not attributable to the claimant, but to the agent who was originally employed to attend to the same.
I am, very respectfully, Your ob't. Serv't.

There are no rolls of Capt. Moore in Dec 1775 or 1776, and no roll of Capt. Sherman in 1776 in this Office and the only roll of Capt. Parker in June 1777 does not bear his name.
Yours sincerely, J. D. Sleeper

Denny's Regiment burned large quantities of wheat to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy. I do not know how long was the tour for the year 1776 but I think the Regiment or rather Col.

2 In 76 I served in New York under Capt Sherman & Col Denny & marched from Worcester County to Fairfield Connecticut thence to Kingsbridge thence to White Plains won at the battle although my regiment was not engaged in it thence we marched to Tarrytown & vicinity & did not return to Westboro until after Mow fell in the fall or winter In case Capt Seth Morse commanded my Company under Col Denny then I must have served a previous term under Capt Sherman That I recollect the burning of the wheat stacks referred to by Nathan Cragg & Nathaniel Andrews in their affidavits which are herewith forwarded to the Department

3 In the Year 1777. I served at Bennington Vermont & that vicinity I think that my former statement was erroneous and that I served four months & a few days instead of Six months
4. In the Year 1778. I served in Rhode Island instead of two months as claimed by me only 26 days
5 That I have had the impression for several Years, that at the time that I went to New York in 1776 Capt Seth Moreo of Westboro officiated as Lieutenant in the place of the Lieutenant of the Company who could not go. I have also had the impression that I was gone through the whole summer of 1776 & into the winter of 1776 & 1777.
