I Ld. Andrew of Bristol in the County of Addison State of Vermont, do certify & say that I have been acquainted with Nathan Case, of Middlebury in the same County, who is my Brother, for more than sixty years. and that I well recollect, that in the year 1779, he the said Nathan was called out on a tour of service in the Army, and he went from Norfolk Count. where he then resided, that he was absent a month or more, and as was then understood & spoken of in the family and neighborhood, was gone to Horns Neck to oppose the British - and after he the said Nathan returned home, he related many events which had taken place in his absence, & spoke of his having been at Horns Neck in the service - and I recollect he was reported to have gone under Col. Phelps of Simsbury Count. -
And I further certify & say, that in the latter part of the year 1779, the said Nathan was absent from home a number of months, and was supposed to be in the service in the Army, he was absent in what was called the hard winter 1779 & 1780. I do not recollect the exact term of time that he was out at that time, but it was six or seven months, according to my first recollection, that he returned home once in the time, stayed a few days, & returned to the Army as was then said I understood.
And I also recollect that in the year 1780 he the said Nathan enlisted, at Norfolk, as said, for the term of eighteen months , and that he was absent during that period, and was reported to be in the American Army at

at West Point, and I recollect that he wrote letters to the family, during his absence, which were dated, generally, at West Point - and at the expiration of the term of eighteen months, he returned home, - and it was then understood I believed in the family & neighborhood that the said Nathan did serve that term in the United States Army - and I have always understood I believed, and do now believe that he did serve as above stated. - Los Angeles
