I. William Storer of the City, and County of New Haven, and State of Connecticut, now in the 72 d year of my age, Testify and Say, That I have in my possession, the Pay Rolls of three Companies of Artillery, raised by Authority of the state of Connecticut, and stationed at New Haven, in said state, in the years, 1779.—1780, and 1781. the two first years under the command of Capt t Phineas Bradley of New Haven, and the third year, 1781. under the command of Capt t William Vanduzee, for seven months, or until the first of August, of that year; (which, as the fact is known to me, and has heretofore been shown to the Department by me, Capt t Vanduzee resigned, and Lieut t John Warner was appointed Capt t until Jan y 1 st 1782,) on Capt t Bradley Pay Roll for 1779. it appears that Nathan Catlin enlisted on the 9 th of Feby 1779. and served as a private, until 2 nd of Feb y 1780. time of service carried out. 12 Months. — on Capt t Bradley Pay Roll, for 1780. it appears, that Nathan Catlin enlisted, April 3 d 1780. and served until Jan y 1 st 1781. time of service carried out, 8 Months 28 Days, — On Capt t Vanduzee Pay Roll for 1781. it appears that Nathan Catlin, enlisted Jan y 1 st 1781. and served until August 1 st 1781. his time of service is carried out on this Pay Roll 7 Months. — Thus it appears, that Nathan Catlin served as a private of Artillery, in those three companies 2 Years, 3 Months, 28 Days, Exclusive of what he served under Capt t Warner, by his third enlistment. — And it further appears on said Pay Rolls, that Azel Kimbley, was Lieut t under Capt t Bradley, both in the years 1779 & 1780. and that Lamberton Painter was Lieut t under Capt t Vanduzee, in 1781. and I remember they, both belonged to New Haven, at that time, — and I have full confidence of the truth, of Mrs Catlin's statements as they are set forth in her Declaration.
