State of New York
Tioga County ss. Personally appeared before me the under- signed a Justice of the peace in & for Tioga County aforesaid Jonathan Catterlin who being duly sworn deposeth & saith that by reason of old age and the consequent loss of memory he can not swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below and in the follow- ing grade viz. For one year I served in the regular army in the Company of Capt Scott in Col. Maxwell's Regiment - as a private, or common soldier. For two years I served as a common soldier in the Militia, in that part of Captain Josias Bale's Company, which in service was commanded by Lieuten- ant Solomon Middaugh - That in the service at Minnisink, the Company was not united with any other troops, but occupied a post in a line of guards stationed at intervals. That when at Germantown as stated in his declaration, he was under Lieutenant Middaugh - Major Meeker was present, but the name of the Captain under whom he was placed in the battle was strange to him, and he has no recollection of it, nor of the names of any other than the Officers under whom he usual- ly served. - and for such service I claim a pension.
