John Lamb's Regiment of Artillery in the New York line and that I enlisted in the Company of Capt. William Harvey in the aforesaid Regiment. And I also declare that I have not to my recollection or belief received the Certificate for the reward of eighty Dollars but that I am entitled to the said reward under a resolve of Congress passed the 15 th of May 1778.
And I further declare that I was not on the fifteenth day of March 1828 on the pension list of the United States.
And I further declare that at the termination of the aforesaid war I received a regular discharge from the service but that the same is lost.

State of New York Saratoga County S. Before me Joshua Bloore a Commissioner to take affidavits in the County of Saratoga in the State of New York aforesaid personally appeared this day John C. Ten Broeck and Samuel Stewart of the said County who did severally make oath that Benjamin Chadsey by whom the foregoing declaration was subscribed is generally reputed and believed to have been an officer a private soldier acting as writer as above mentioned, in the Army of the Revolution in manner as therein stated - And the said Samuel Stewart for himself says that he personally knew the said Benjamin Chadsey within a very few years after the close

of the Revolutionary war - that the said Chadsey came to reside in the same town with deponent - that the said Chadsey at that time said, and has uniformly so said ever since, that he was a Soldier in Colo. John Lamb's Regiment of Artillery of the New York line and that he served as writer to Doctor Hale, the Surgeon's mate, in said Regiment to the close of the war - that said Chadsey at that time was generally called & known by the name of Doctor Chadsey, and was so called as deponent has since learned from the circumstan- -ce of his having been a writer to Doctor Hale as in the aforesaid declaration is mentioned - that it was at that time understood & believed by all who knew said Chadsey that he had served as a Soldier in the war and came from the Army to the place of deponent's resid- -ence as aforesaid - And the said Samuel further saith that some fifteen or twenty years since in this deponent at the instance of the said Chadsey made application to the Legislature of this State in behalf of the said Chadsey for certain Bounty-lands to which he claimed to be entitled by virtue of a resolution of the Legislature of this State giving certain Bounty-lands to the Soldiers of Colo. John Lamb's Regiment of Artillery aforesaid who served to the close of the war - that upon that occasion the name of the said Benjamin Chadsey was found returned and in the Books in the office of the Secretary of this State as having been a Soldier in the aforesaid Regiment of Colo. Lamb and as having served as such Soldier therein to the termination of the war - that the aforesaid Doctor Hale was at that time in the City of Albany and on seeing the said Chadsey recognized him as the same person who had been a Soldier in the aforesaid Regiment and writer to said Doctor Hale as above stated - that the said Doctor Hale thereupon made affidavit of the identity of the said Chadsey and the Patent for the aforesaid Bounty-lands thereupon obtained by the said Chadsey - And the said Samuel further saith that the aforesaid Chadsey to whom the aforesaid Bounty-lands were granted and to whose identity the aforesaid Doctor Hale made affidavit as aforesaid is the same person who signed the aforesaid declaration - And further that the aforesaid Doctor Hale

is an old man, and, if still alive, resides, as deponent is informed and believes, some where in the State of New Jersey - that in the opinion of deponent it would be difficult and perhaps impossible to obtain his affidavit.
