County of Clinton Co. Freborn Knapp of Coopers in said County being duly sworn says that he has been well acquainted with John Delamarter of said town who is now applying for a pension ever since the year 1811. & has frequently heard him relate the circumstances of his service & Deponent was present this day and heard Judge Haile read over the annexed amended declaration of said Delamarter to him & put to him the questions prescribed by the war department & the statements which said Delamarter now makes agree with those which he has frequently heard him make before he applied for a pension. Deponent was acquainted with the state of said Delamarter health when Judge Stevenson took his declaration in August 1832 and Deponent does not believe that he was capable at that time of making a correct statement of his services. That although said Delamarter is yet very feeble & unable to get about without great difficulty. his statement at this time may in Deponent's belief be relied upon as substantially correct. That said Delamarter served two years as he states Deponent has no doubt nor has he any doubt that said Delamarter was an active man during the Revolution and rendered important services to his country. That Deponent understood at the time that said Delamarter's house was burnt in 1816. & there is no doubt it was so burnt, & that all his papers and property were consumed with it. except one or two beds. That said Delamarter's character is unexceptionable. and his

pecuniary circumstances such as absolutely to require the assistance of his country for sup- -port, & further that although said DeCamer- may have mistaken the details of his service, yet Deponant verily believes that said De- -Cameras did actually serve two years during the Revolutionary war in the Capacity of Orderly sergeant as he states, and further saith not

Amended declaration of John Delamarter to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832.
State of New York
County of Clinton ss. On this 13 th day of November 1833 personally appeared before William F. Haile — Esq. one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of the County aforesaid (the said court being a court of record) John Delamarter a resident of the town of Mooers in said County aged seventy three years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832..
That he entered the service of the united States under the following named officers and served as here in stated.
I was born in the town of Sharon Connecticut on the 26 th day of January 1759. I have no record of my age, but had one in my bible which was burnt in 1811. in Mine Partners until I was married in 1792 then went to Coeymans Since the Revolution I resided and resided there in Coeymans Albany Co. N.Y. until until the year 1792 when I moved to the town of Mooers in Clinton County where I have since resided & where I now reside.
I resided in the town of Mine Partners in the County of Dutchess & State of New York and enlisted at that place in May 1776 (he believes on the first day of May 1776) in Captain Barnabas Swartwout's Company. Lt. Elijah Herrick & Ensign Syrenus Newcomb. Adjutant Theodosius Bailey a Son of Col Bailey of Poughkeepsie. It was a New York Company & Regt in which I enlisted to which I belonged & I stated in my former declaration that it was the 10 th Regiment of Genl Putnam's Brigade, because he was with the Troops at Poughkeepsie N.Y. about five months after I enlisted. & I supposed I belonged to his Brigade. I believe that Col Windkoop of Esopus was the Col of our Regt but in this I may perhaps be mistaken. If he was not

the Colonel I can not state who was but I saw him at Peekskill & Fishkill N.Y. & served under him. I enlisted as orderly Sergeant in said Company & kept the Company books & made the morning Reports & Provisions Returns. I had a book containing all the usual entries which was burnt with my house in Odel town L.C. in 1811. I was mustered at Poughkeepsie N.Y. & joined my Company there, the fore part of May 1776 & the period of my enlistment was nine months as orderly Sergeant in that Company. There had been several Companies at Poughkeepsie which left a few days before I arrived there & joined the Company. At the time I joined I think there was no other Company at Poughkeepsie. I then marched with our Company to Fishkill, then we went to Fort Montgomery in the Highlands. then we marched to Peekskill N.Y. & was stationed there about five months & I was engaged in actual service at that place. The Soldiers encamped there in tents. There was I believe a whole Brigade stationed at Peekskill & Genl Putnam commanded there. One Smith from Poughkeepsie was quarter master of our Regt. Col. Windkoop was there & Benjamin Borgan was a Lieut was there. I was acquainted with all the officers I have named. I volunteered with a part of our Company to go to White Plains under Capt William Champlaine from Sharon. Conn & I marched with that Company as orderly Sergeant to White Plains & I was engaged in the battle at that place I was in the thickest of the fight. Several of my Countrymen fell while fighting for the liberties which we now enjoy. I recollect the names of Elias Bailey Jacob Crapser & Isaac Baldwin who were killed by my side. I had a ball pass through my hat within half an inch of my head. It struck the fore part of my hat. The battle was about the first day

of October 1776. after the battle I returned to Poughkeepsie & Col. Hay was forage-master at that place & I was detached from our Company with six men and teams to draw 40 tons of hay for the Troops, we drew the hay a distance of twenty miles from Great Nine Partners & Rhinebeck NY to Poughkeepsie. I served under Col. Hay in performing this duty, and in obtaining forage & provisions about there, until my time was out. While I was engaged on this forage duty. I held my rank as orderly Sergeant of Capt Chamberlins Company & performed the duties of my office. I stated in my former declaration that I was discharged in Peks kill but on reflection I am sure that I was discharged at Poughkeepsie in February 1777 & I am also convinced on reflection that Genl Dubois & Col. Hay signed my discharge, which was an honorable one. I was therefore mistaken when I stated in my declaration that Capt Swartwout & Genl Putnam signed my discharge. The nine months for which I enlisted had fully expired when I received my discharge & during that period I was engaged in actual service either in the field or in Garrison or on fatigue duty & engaged in no civil pursuit whatever. I devoted my whole time to the service of my Country. My discharge was burnt with my house in Adeltown LC Sept 24 1811 John Borom from Fishkill, Pell Chapman from Sharon & Garret Vinegar of Sharon Conn were sergeants under me in Capt Chamberlins Company. Isaac Baldwin & Joseph Pinckney were sergeants under me in Capt. Swartwouts Company. I dont recollect the names of the others - John Boyd was ensign of Capt Chamberlins Company & I believe Henry Nace of Dover, NY was a Lieutenant in said Company. - After my discharge as aforesaid I returned home to Rhinebeck NY. & staid till March 1777 when I went to Poughkeepsie NY. and enlisted

that place the fore part of March 1777 as a Ranger in the Capacity of Orderly Sergeant for nine months into Capt Paulding's Company New York State In- fantry Genl Dubois Brigade / Lt Rudolf Van hovenbarack. Ensign Harmon Van Coten, Jacob Shultz was a Sergeant under me. I don't remem- -ber any other. I marched from Poughkeepsie N.Y. through Fishkill to West Point and served about two months there & then went to Fort Montgomery N.Y. in the Highlands & there we had 40 or 50 Tories & I had the Command of them & made them work in building the Fort Mont- -gomery & in making roads. Genl Dubois commanded the fort & was an able officer, I was engaged at Fort Montgomery & in ranging about there until the month of December 1777 when the nine months for which I enlisted expired, but I continued in service two months longer than the period for which I enlisted at the request of my officers & by my own de- -sire & I was discharged in the month of February 1778 at Poughkeepsie N.Y. Sergeant Shultz was discharged at the same time with me. Genl Dubois signed my discharge & also Capt Paulding. It was an honorable discharge & was burnt with my house and papers as before mentioned in 1811. I think one Herriman was Col of Capt Paulding's Company of Rangers to which I belonged but of this I am not certain - I believe it was the 4 th N. York Reg t . During the aforesaid eleven months I ranged through Hopewell, Dover Nine Partners Rhinebeck & Poughkeepsie for the purpose of taking up Tories and horse thieves and I succeeded in capturing as many as thirty

Enemies of my country in the shape of Horse Thieves & Tories and took them into Fort Montgomery and part of them were afterwards sent to Nova Scotia - After my discharge I returned to Rhinebeck N.Y. and volunteered at that place in April 1778 as first Sergeant in Capt Peter Stoughtenburg, Com- -pany (Maj Benson) Col. Blooms Regt New York State Troops for three months. Didimus Kinney was one Lieut. Henry Devoy was one Ensign. James Swartwout was a Sergeant under me and one of Capt Stoughtenburg, Sons was a Corporal under me. I served four months in said company as first Sergeant under said officers (one month longer than the time for which I enlisted) when I was honorably discharged at Mine Part- ners N.Y. & received a written discharge signed by Col. Blooms Capt Stoughtenburg & Maj Benson. During this four months I was engaged in arresting Tories in Mine Partners, Hopewell, Dover, Plattsburgh Rhinebeck, Poughkeepsie & was engaged in no civil pursuit whatever during said time, but was engaged in actual service during said four months. The Tories which we captured during the said four months were sent to Nova Scotia. During part of this four months I was on guard duty & we made Mine Partners the place of Rendezvous for our Company when I made my declaration before Judge Stevenson on the 17 th day of August 1832. I was sick & confined to my house & was unable to make a correct statement of my services and the state- -ment used above made is as perfect as I can make it. It differs in many particulars from that alluded to, but will I believe be found sub- -stantially correct. If I am incorrect in the details I am positive & clear in this that I served twenty four months of actual service as first or Orderly Sergeant
4 - Sergeant

During the Revolutionary war although in my former Declaration I claimed for twenty three months, orderly Sergeant - As I actually served twenty four months as first orderly Sergeant I claim a Pension for such service I was mistaken in saying that I served under Capt Swartwout in the battle of White Plains. It was Capt Chamberlin, I had three Sergeants Warrants which were burnt with my house in 1811 I have no documentary evidence and know of no person whose testimony I can procure (except that already fur- nished). who can testify to my service. -
The names of persons who can testify to my charac- ter for veracity and their belief of my services in the Revolution and to my veracity are as follows Kinsley, Joseph Worden, Amos Chapman. Benj F Hall Ebenezer Knapp. & others.

Dear Sir
The heirs
of John Delameter a Soldier of the War of the Revolution are informed that he left real estate in the City of N.Y. in which they have an interest Said John Delameter made an application for Pension which he was not able to establish for want of his discharge papers or such proof as was required by the Pension Office.

No claim is or can be made for anything from the United States on account of his services I think.
Would you please inform me from the papers on file in his case the date and place of his birth the date and place of his marriage age to his wife Agatha such facts as you need to aid them in obtaining evidence of their kinship

died Jan'y 1. 1834 leaving a widow named Elizabeth Delamarre. J.S.W.

John Delamarre
His first declaration was taken by Judge Stevenson when the applicant was in feeble health & is undoubtedly very imperfect. His amended declaration taken by Judge Hails is more satisfactory & contains the details of Delamarre's service & probably corresponds with the rolls in the Department.
I am informed that Mr. Delamarre died recently leaving a widow - the precise period of his death is unknown to me - Mr. Schuyler's affidavit is supposed sufficient to entitle the applicant to a Pension for 23 months as a Dept. & it seems from his statement that he served twenty four months.
Will you request Mr. Edwards to send the certificate for such an amount as the form of warrant without fee the delay -
Mrs. Delamarre will of course be entitled to arrears of her husband's pension up to the period of his death.
Yours truly -

Letter of J. L. Edwards Esq. in the case of J. Delamere.

War Department Pension Office 30 September 1833.
Sir,
The claim of John Delamater has been examined and disallowed. He alleged an enlistment and service of 9. months as sergeant in Captain Swartwout's Company, Genl. Putnam's 10 th Regiment of New York Infantry. There was no 10 th Regiment, or such an officer as General Putnam in the New York line; and the service of John Delamater, who was in Swartwout's Company, in no respects corresponds with the alleged service of the Claimant.
I am, respectfully, Your ob td Serv t . J. Edward

Sir
The papers in the case of John Dilematus have again been examined: It is proved by the certificate of the Secretary of the State of New York that Bernardus Swartwout was appointed a Capt of Militia in 1778: The claimant alleges that he enlisted in that company for 9 months in 1776 and served that term - That he subsequently enlisted in Capt Penning, Company Col Dubois regiment and served 11 months and in 1779. He served 4 months in Capt. Stoughton's Company. It is objected to his statement 1. That there is no evidence in the Department that Capt. Swartwout had at any time the Com

mand of a Company of nine months men; and his appointment is two years subsequent to the 1. the service in his company is said to have been rendered - 2 No Captain of the name of Pauling belongs to Col Dubois regiment - The term last mentioned being in the Militia requires explanation

Sir In reply to your letter, on the subject of the claim of John Dilamatter deceased I have to state that the evidence in this case is not sufficient to establish any part of the service alleged - If the claimant found at all, the specification of the terms of service and the names of his officers must be wholly inaccurate. Hence there is no means of investigating the claim satisfactorily - The testimony of Weeks and of Schreyer nor throws no light on the subject at all

James L'Edouardo Esq Counr of Pensions Sir,
On reference to the letter of Mr Campbell Depy Secy of this State, in the case of John Delamater it would seem, that when the government was organized after the adoption of the Constitution the Council generally reappointed the militia officers with the same rank they held under their former commissions; & he says he has no doubt that the officers in Col. Folsom Regt. whose names he has given held Commissions in 1776 & 1777.
It is supposed that the additional evidence now furnished will be sufficient to entitle the widow to the amount of her husband's pension from March 4. 1831 to January 1. 1834 the period of her husband's death.
Yours respectfully J. Douglas Woodward

I Joseph Weeks of Champlain in said County being duly sworn do say that it was applied to in the autumn of 1832, by Mr Joseph Worden To make an affidavit relative to the military services, of John Delamarre who has since deceased but who was then applying for a Pension -
I then declined making one under the belief that my evidence would not throw light upon the subject. inasmuch as my knowledge of said Delamarre's service, was principally derived from others. - On being again requested, I make the following statement. that I was acquainted with said John Delamarre & his father's family in the Town of Clinton, County of Dutchess in said State of New York in the time of the Revolutionary War. that he has no personal knowledge of the said John Delamarre being a soldier in the Army. But that he heard he was or had been in the Army of the Revolution about the time of its close. that he heard Benjamin Stoughtonburgh say, on his return from the service that said Delamarre was as smart a man as there was in the whole Regiment. and deponent knows that said Stoughtonburgh was a soldier in the Army of the Revolution. And deponent further saith that from facts & circumstances which he heard related about said Delamarre, he has no doubt in his own mind, but he served in the Army of the Revolution. deponent recollects, of telling Delamarre that he ought to apply & get his pension. - deponent told him this, under the belief that he was justly entitled to it.

Frederick Schnyder of Hemmingsford L.C. being duly sworn says that during the Revolutionary war he resided in the same neighborhood of John DeLamater & was well acquainted with him as also with Captain Swartwout, & according to the best of deponent's recollection he had the command of a company in 1776, but for what period his term was enlisted deponent cannot state, but deponent understands at the time that said John DeLamater was enlisted for nine months, as first sergeant, in that company. Deponent recollects the time he entered the said company & that it was then understood that his period of service was to be nine months, though deponent believes that a part of this nine months tour was performed under Capt. Chamberlain at the Battle of White Plains, & deponent recollects the time said DeLamater was discharged from this nine months service & that he had served his time out - Deponent cannot say whether Capt. Swartwout was commissioned or not but deponent is confident he acted as Captain in 1776 & deponent thinks he must have rec'd his commission from the Provincial Congress - Deponent knew Capt. Paulding well, he belonged to Col. Jacob Herrmann's Regt. & deponent believes & deponent thinks said John DeLamater was mistaken in saying that Capt. Paulding belonged to Col. Dubois's Regt. - Deponent understood at the time that said John DeLamater enlisted for nine months under Capt. Paulding as a Ranger & served his time out & two months over [In an affidavit made by deponent before Esq. Sheldon in June 1833 he was mistaken in saying that said DeLamater's second tour of service was in Capt. Chamberlain's Co. Col. G. Herrmann's Regt. This tour of nine months service & two months besides was according to deponent's present recollection & belief in Capt. Paulding's Company Col. Jacob Herrmann, Regt.] Deponent recollects that said John DeLamater was engaged under Capt. Paulding to serve three months, & he did serve in said company for & during that period as deponent understood at the time, & about four weeks more. He was employed principally in ranging about Dutchess County & arresting Tories & performing the duties of a soldier whether he was enlisted or not deponent cannot state. Deponent is confident that said John DeLamater served as orderly sergeant twenty three months during the Revolution as he states. Deponent was well & intimately acquainted with him before & during, & since the Revolution, & his services, have been since he left the army, the subject of frequent conversation between us. He was a good soldier & an honest man. He died at Hooosier N.Y. on the first of January 1834 leaving a widow Elizabeth DeLamater who is now living & is poor, & supported by her children. - She possesses an excellent character.
