This day John B Carter personally appeared before the undersigned one of the commonwealths Justices of the Peace in and for the county of Woodford and made oath to the following statement in addition to the declaration sworn to by him in open court before the county court of Woodford on the 9 th day of August 1832 in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress of the 7 th of June 1832
That he cannot recollect the precise time at which he entered in the minute service under the command of Capt Joseph Carrington but believes it was in the spring of 1776 that he served the eighteen months as stated. He is not able to say with certainty the time of his last enlistment but thinks it must have been in the year 1780 as he served a year or upwards before he was discharged at the close of the war that the company commanded by Capt Charles Fleming in which he last enlisted was of the Infantry. In the interregnum between his first and last enlistment he served several tours of duty in the Militia one under the command

of Capt Munford also one under the command of Capt Moreby these tours in the Militia he did not refer to in his declaration as he was not aware that the Militia would be paid for their services under the act of Congress. He furthermore states that he is in a very low state of health and a cripple so much so that he believes he would not be able to go to the court house to make this addition to his decla- rations in open Court as required
