In the year 1779 and 1780 the Continental Army encamped on my Father's farm and I although not more than 5 or 6 years old recollect seeing Isaac Daniels with a cockade on his hat and gun in his hand being in a prisoner I know not how old Isaac was but should think from 16 to 20 years. I should suppose by what his friends say he is now upwards of 100 years old I am over 85 I should think he is entitled to a pension as well as some who get it
