The state of Ohio } Moultrie County } 13 } 13
On this 11 th day of September 1832. personally appeared in open Court before the judges of the Court of Common Pleas of said County now sitting George Clancy a resident & citizen of said County of Moultrie County in the state of Ohio, aged Eighty five years (as near as he can ascertain his age) who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of that act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832 - That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers & served in the army of the war of the Revolution as herein stated. That he entered the service at Staunton, Virginia in the Spring of 1776. in a company commanded by Capt. Thomas Paine for six months in what was called the "Flying Camp" & he was under the command of Col. Morgan & he was marched to the White Plains in the State of New York - He was attached under a subaltern officer whose name is not recalled to grand property of Col. Schuyler or at his Hill. He was at various places in the vicinity of New York & in the State of New Jersey until near the expiration of the term of his enlistment when he enlisted again for three years in a company commanded by Capt. Robert Paynter & there was a Lieutenant in the company by the name of Davis & an Ensign by the name of Anthony Lynn & an orderly Sergeant by the name of John Capelance - The Regiment was commanded by Col. W m Heath & was as he thinks the Third Virginia Regiment - The Paymasters name was Marmaduke & the adjutant Hawkins - He was taken prisoner while on a foraging party at a place called Manumark in the State of New York

and after being detained a few hours he made his escape from the guard in the night & joined his company. He was at the battle of Brandywine in Sept. 1777 where his Captain, Robert Payton was killed and the brother of Capt. Payton. Lieutenant John Payton of the same company took the command & was promoted to a Captaincy. He was also at the battle of Germantown in Oct. 1777. in Gen. Charles Scotts detachment. He wintered with the army at Valley Forge & Marched thence & crossed the Delaware at Cane's Ferry. Thence through Brunswick. He was at Brannsbury at Englishtown & he was at the battle of Monmouth in June 1778. where he was under the command of Gen. Lee. and he was at a number of other places in skirmishes and other partisan affairs. which from his advanced age & the touching of his memory he cannot particularize.
At the expiration of his term of enlistment he was discharged at Middlebrook in the state of New Jersey by Col. W m Heath and rec d . a discharge. He then returned home to Virginia where he remained near two years when he was drafted as a Militia man in Augusta County Virginia into a company under the command of Capt. Bell & he thinks the Captain's name was Lewis from the war spring. But he is not certain. General Peter Muhlenberg had the command of the detachment & marched under him to Yorktown & he was there during the siege & until the capture of Cornwallis. He states further that he kept the discharge which he rec d . from Col. Heath for many years & he m d ly to have had it for many years after he came to this County more than twenty years since but the same is now lost or destroyed.

and he has now no documentary evidence of his service & he knows of no person who can prove or testify to his service except the deposition of Elijah Miley herewith He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present & declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state to his knowledge
