State of Vermont, } Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of Bennington County, for } the Act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832.
On this 14 th day of August, A. D. 1832, personally appeared in open court, before the Hon. the Probate Court, for the District of Bennington now sitting, Elias Dimick, a resident of Bennington, in the County of Bennington, & State of Vermont, aged 72 years. I being first duly sworn according to law doth on my oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. I enlisted January 1777 for three months in Connecticut line in Colonel Ennes Regiment Captain Wright's Company & went to Horseneck in the west part of Connecticut & into the east part of the State of N. York to keep the enemy from looting the inhabitants. I served my time out & in April 1777 I enlisted for three years in the army of the United States in Connecticut line Colonel Dorrance's Regiment Captain Webb's Company & served in person til January 1780 then hired one of the eight months men that was sent from Connecticut to fill up our regiment the campaign then past for we then was in winter quarters to take my place til April then next which completed my three years & I came home with the eight months men & Captain Beuel came with us to draw provision for us as soon as could get where it was for we had not drawn only enough to keep from starving for some time & our money was not current among the inhabitants. Capt Beuel came with us about 20 miles as nigh as I can recollect after we crossed Hudson River which was at Kings Ferry I think then drawn provision for us to last to our homes & gave us all a Discharge I was in several skirmishes but will not weary your patience in the description of but one that is Middletown fort there was not one of my Field officers in the fort but there was three Captains out of my Regiment two of which was killed Capt. Brown & Capt. Lee & I think a great proportion of us soldiers the morning a little before the shipping got up aside of the fort the enemy from there there had broke down some of our breastwork & a sergeant with a number of us soldiers was ordered to sling off our knapsacks there & go & repair the breach I having nothing but an extraordinary blanket in mine & believing I never should see my blanket again if I left it there I keep my knapsack on which was the means that saved my life for we had not been there long before there fell a shower of grape shot among us one of which lodged in my knapsack but my blanket so large & thick that I was not injured so much but I took the post assigned me in the fort until the fort was evacuated. When I performed the above services I lived in the Town of Ashford County of Windham State of Connecticut I hereby relinquish every every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity except the present & I declare that my name is not on the pension roll of any agency in any state to my knowledge for I never made application for pension before
