State of New York, Orange County
On this ninth day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighteen, before me the undersigned one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of the County of Orange in the State aforesaid, personally appeared Edward Connel, age sixty-eight years, resident in the Town of Haverhill in the said County, who being by me first duly sworn, known to me to be the person described in and who is known to me to be the person whose name is subscribed to the foregoing affidavit, acknowledged that he executed the same for the purposes and consideration therein expressed.
That he the said Edward Connel, on or about the first day of January, one thousand seven hundred and seventy-six, enlisted for the term of one year, in the company commanded by Captain Harris, with Oliver Babcock first Lieutenant, in the Regiment commanded by Col. Parsons, whose christian name deponent does not recollect, Connecticut Line, & immediately after enlistment was mustered & marched by him to the State of Connecticut where he enlisted to Roxbury in the State of Massachusetts, where he was transferred to Captain Clemens Brown's Company, in the same Regiment, and in that place continued to do duty as a private soldier in the said company and Regiment until the British evacuated Boston, when deponent with his Regiment & Company aforesaid were then removed to the City of New York where they arrived on the first of May, seventeen hundred and seventy-six where they remained till the British landed on York Island and in commencing their retreat were fired on several times by a party of the British who attempted to intercept them, on which occasion Major James Chapman of the said Regiment was killed with six of his deponent's men. Thence this deponent with his Regiment & Company retreated by way of Kingsbridge & White Plains & Thickett to Peekskill, where this deponent with his company upon the arrival of their first Lieutenant Nathaniel Hall were detached to Tappan & Hackensack & remained separate from their Regiment until this deponent's time of service together with that of his companions expired, during all which term this deponent continued in the action and received a general discharge of his duties as a soldier. On the expiration of this term Lieutenant Hall told this deponent & his companions that their time of service had expired & they could go where they pleased, which they did, but had no written discharges.
That in the Fall, and as this deponent thinks, in the month

of November one thousand seven hundred and eighty, he this deponent again enlisted for the term of three years, as a com- mon soldier in the Army of the United States, in the first Con- necticut Regiment, commanded by Colonel — Durkey whose quarters where this deponent does not recollect, Thomas Garrison Lieutenant Colonel, and attached to the Com- pany of Captain John H. Buel; joined the Army in March following at a place called Connecticut Huts, in the High Hollows on Hudson River in the State of New York; at which place and the vicinity this deponent continued to do duty un- til during the month of July one thousand seven hundred and eighty-three, this deponent being then at West Point, and some of those men who had been enlisted during the war having there been recently discharged and this deponent being then in ill health, this deponent by consent of Colonel Ebenezer Dyer then in command of the Regiment, procured one Ma- thias Pungman, a discharged soldier to do duty in his room, and received from his commanding officer a pass, permit- ting him to retire into the country, and remain duty- free until called for; which this deponent did and was then called on to join the Regiment again during the continuance of his term of service. That the pass which he then received has by time and accident long since been lost or destroyed, and that in consequence of his absence as aforesaid at the time his regiment was disbanded he never received any discharge, although he was entitled to it; but that he subsequently received from the Paymaster certain arrearages which were his due. This deponent further saith, that he is, and ever since the term of his service as aforesaid has been a resident citizen of the United States, that he is in reduced circumstances, and stands in need of the assistance of his country for support, and that besides this his af- fairs leave him no other evidence now in his power of his said servi- ce.
