That he entered into the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated -
He entered into the service in the month of August in the year 1777 the par- ticular day not recollecting under Captain John Winthorn of the militia of the State of New York - George Vance was first Lieuten- ant - Deponent went as one of a class in said company for three months the said company having been divided - that he resi- ded in the town of Warwick when he en- tered into the service - He marched through Sag Harbor and what is now called Bloom- ing Grove and Monroe to Fort Montgomery on the North river that he staid there about one month Governor George Clinton commanded at that time - there were a number

of Continental troops there Captain Mooy com- manded a company of Artillery —
From the said fort and about a week be- fore the same was taken Captain Minton and Captain John Wood of the New York Militia were ordered with their companies to Ramapo now in the County of Rockland in the said State passing through Smiths Clove a distance of about twenty Miles Colonel Malcom of the Continental Army was lying at Ramapo with part of a Regiment and recruiting De- ponent remained at Ramapo until in the Month of October and for some short time after Fort Montgomery was taken the precise day not recollected — When Deponents company and the company commanded by Captain Wood who ordered to New Windsor in the said County of Orange passing through Blaggs Clove and what is now called Salisbury to New Windsor we were under the command of Major Moffat of the Militia — there was a Regiment or part of a Regiment of Continental troops commanded by Colonel Webb — Governor Clinton was there but Deponent cannot now recollect the names of the Officers there — after remaining about twen- ty four hours Captain Minton and Captain Wood with their companies — were ordered to Esopus in the County of Ulster — Deponent thinks a part of the regular troops proceeded them up the river — Deponent with his company marched with his company up the river towards Kingston (Esopus) when within four or five Miles of Kingston we were met by Governor Clinton who had just come

3 - from Kingston which had been burned by the enemy - And we were ordered to Hurley a few Miles West of Kingston - When we laid a few days - And were then ordered to New Windsor in Orange County returning the same route we went out - we remained there a short time and were dismissed - Deponent had no discharge kept no Memoranda of dates and cannot say precisely when he was discharged but is sure he staid in the service the three months for which he entered - Deponent does not now recollect a single person now living who was with him at that time - Many he knows to be dead and others who removed out of the Country he believes to be dead -
(According to Deponents best recollection his next service was in the year 1778 - he belonged to a company of Militia in the town of Warwick commanded by Captain John Sears - They were divided into classes - each class furnishing a man this deponent went for one of the classes - And received some compensation from them - he was ordered to Poughkeepsie on the Frontiers in the County of Ulster, now the County of Orange and State of New York - under Captain Abraham Westfall of New York Militia - deponent then resided in Warwick aforesaid and went along with William Johnson Vincent Wood and others all of whom are dead with the exception of one Williams who went to Kentucky and from whom deponent has not heard in a number of years - Deponent remained at

Peenpack to guard the frontiers from the incursions of the Indians for Nine Months at which time the Company to which Deponent belonged was dismissed at Dunts Fort by Major Duvit. There were no continental troops there. Deponent cannot say precisely when he went to Peenpack — Nor when he was dismissed it was however in the Spring when he went and he was dismissed in the Winter — he kept no Memorandum of dates nor did he receive any written discharge — he knows however that he served the full period of Nine Months — That the affidavit hereto annexed of William Johnson relates to the above term of service that the said Johnson is now dead — that said Deponent got the affidavit of the said Johnson on account of his being very infirm he had been unable two years — his affidavit was taken after a Meeting had been held in Goshen of the Soldiers of the revolution and a resolution adopted to petition Congress on the subject — Deponent deemed it important to have the testimony of said Johnson in case of his death — And James Wood Esquire of a Justice of the Peace in and for the town of Warwick before mentioned went with the Deponent to the said Johnsons house where he was sworn
And deponent further saith that in the Summer of 1779 and in July he was hired by a number of Persons belonging to his Company to go to the frontiers at Peenpack — The Indians having made incursions in that Quarter — Deponent was out

at that time as he thought about six weeks he was Stationed part of the time at Decker Fort part of the time at Jacob Chambers at which place guards were kept a battle was fought with the Indians among them at this time forty or fifty miles fifteen or twenty Miles from where Deponent was Stationed on the 22 d day of July - in which many Men and Officers were killed - Colonel John Washburn of the Militia commanded as Deponent was informed - at the end of six weeks Deponent was discharged and returned home -
And Deponent further saith that his next service was at Skaneateles in the County of Otsego about forty miles from Warwick aforesaid and on the frontier - where the Indians had made frequent incursions - Colonel Paulding commanded - Major Dunit of the Militia was also there - We went from Warwick to Peenpack under Captain Minton as Deponent thinks - a portion of us were sent on to Skaneateles through Mamakating hollow Wawarsing - upon arriving at Skaneateles we were put under strange officers - whose names are forgotten by Deponent except the Colonel and Major - Deponent was in the service at this time three months - returning the way he went - having been duly discharged - Deponent has no distinct recollection of the time he went out on this service - but recollects that he returned in the fall of the year - and he thinks it was in the year 1779 - George

Wood And William Knapp were with him And Deponent further states that his next service was at West Point - It was in the fall of the year in 1780 and deponent thinks - he went un- der the command of Captain Andrew Miller of the Militia - cannot recollect the other Officers of the Company - he was engaged at Fatigue duty raising batteries - Deponent was there six weeks when he was dismissed - we went there through Blooming Grove & Cornwall across the Mountains to the Point - There were a number of United States Offi- cers at that time at West Point - but Depo- nent cannot now recollect their names - there was no intercourse between us And the regular troops
And this Deponent further states that to the end of the war he was in the service as a Militia Man a greater part of the time from the Spring to the winter at Ramapo And Para- muss And at Poughkeepsie on the frontier - De- ponent cannot state the various times Nor the particulars - Deponent always went when it was his duty to go - either as a member of his class or on occasion of General alarms And he also went on various occasions as a substitute for his brother David Carr And his brother Robert Carr - Deponent has no hes- itation in saying from his general recollection of his service And the various places at which he was stationed that besides the nine months above stated he was out in actual service from the time he first entered the service to the end of the war at least

four months and one half each and every year - On these occasions Deponent was generally under the Command of Captain Winthorn - Sometimes under Captain Andrew Miller and sometimes under Captain Shepherd Deponent recollects distinctly that on some occasions that after serving out his own term of duty, he continued on as a substitute for one of his brothers and served therefrom out the Militia in that part of the country in which Deponent resided - or a portion of them of them were on duty during the Spring Summer and fall of each year - either at Ramapo and the neighborhood thereof or on the Minisink frontier
