In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and affixed the seal of said Court, at Rutland, this 7th day of September, A. D. 1835. R. Pierpoint

State of Vermont, } Rutland County } ss
On this 7th day of September, 1834, personally appeared Royal Crowley of Monkton in said County, who being duly sworn according to law, testifies and says, that about the first of March last, he received from the Honorable James L. Edwards, Commissioner of Pensions, a letter, dated the 23. day of February, 1835, notifying this deponent, that it was necessary for him, before orders could be issued to resume the payment of his allowance as a pensioner of the United States, to procure proof that he was the identical individual bearing the name of Royal Crowley, who actually served in the Massachusetts Line of the Continental Army of the Revolutionary War — that immediately upon receiving said letter, he made inquiries for the residence of persons known to him in that war; that he learned, that William Dutton who was a sergeant in Col. John Brooks' Regiment, and with whom this deponent was acquainted in the service, was then residing in the town of Fairhaven in said County; but, this deponent being at the time unwell, and the travelling bad, he deferred his visit to said Dutton for a few weeks, until both should be improved; during which time, the said Dutton sickened and died. This deponent could then recollect no other person with whom he was acquainted in the Revolutionary army, but one Sergeant Seth Capron (who afterwards, as this deponent is informed, became a distinguished physician) and resided at or near Utica in the State of New York. Accordingly, as soon as he could arrange his business for the journey, the deponent left home for that place; and, on his arrival, he found, that Doot. Capron had removed about 14 years since, to Walden in the County of Orange in that State. He then returned on his route to Albany, and proceeded to Walden; where the deponent found Doot. Capron to be post Master at that place. On inquiring of the Doctor, whether he recognized this deponent, he answered in the affirmative, and said that he could help him. They had been born and brought up in the same town; and both entered the service from the same town, to wit: Attleborough in Massachusetts. It being night when deponent arrived at Walden, Doot. Capron proposed to defer making his deposition to the facts of deponent's revolutionary services, until the next morning; to which deponent assented. During

that night, however, the Doct. was taken violently ill, of some acute disease; so that he could not transact business of any sort; and by noon of the succeeding day (which was the 2. day of September instant) the friends had called in four physicians for medical aid and advice. Deponent remained, until friday noon, the 4 th instant, when the attending physicians pronounced Doct. Capron's case hopeless, and he left, without obtaining the Doct's deposition, which was the sole object of this deponent's journey.
And the said Royal Crowley further testifies and says, that when in compliance with the Commissioner's New Regulations of the 17. January, 1835, he related his services, he had got the impression, that it was only necessary to state so far forth, as to satisfy the department, that he was actually in life at that time. In explanation of, and to correct that statement, this deponent now testifies, that he enlisted at Attleborough aforesaid, on the 11 th of April, 1782, or rather went for a class in that town for three years — marched to Boston — was mustered there and passed muster — and, together with other men, was marched from thence to West Point, under a Capt. Jackson. On arriving there, was placed in a Company commanded by a Capt. — Bates, of Col. John Brooks' Regiment. Deponent remained in said Company, until the 9 th and 10 th Massachusetts Regiments were broken up and distributed into other Regiments; at which time, Capt. Bates left said Company, and a Capt. Hastings took the command. Brooks still commanded the Regiment to which deponent belonged. Deponent supposes he has heretofore stated, that he had forgotten the names of some of his company officers, after the Regiments were broken up, as above stated — but, upon reflection, he now thinks, and verily believes, that Lt. Brinsball was Lt. under Capt. Bates; and Lt. Bradford, under Capt. Hastings; Ensign James Sawyer, late of Burlington, Vermont, now deceased, was his Ensign, under both of those Captains.
His services were performed, mostly, at West Point. In the summer of 1781 1782, the Regiment lay at Verplank's Point. When the British are about to leave New York, we marched down. They were not quite ready to leave; and we remained

a few days at Westchester. When they finally left, a detachment from Brooks' Regiment, consisting of about 500 men, under command of Maj. Samuel Prescott (to which detachment deponent belonged) marched on to Harlem Heights — and thence crossed over onto Long Island — the remainder of the troops, composed of the 3 Massachusetts Regiments, then marched into New York. Genl. Patterson commanded the Brigade; and deponent supposes commanded on this occasion.
Deponent enlisted as above stated, for 3 years, and was discharged at West Point on the 4th January, 1784 — which discharge he sent forward with his first application for a pension, under the act of the 18th March, 1818.
Deponent resided in Mount Holly aforesaid, when he made application for a pension: his testimony was taken before the Hon. County Court within and for said County of Rutland.
The amount of his present pension, per annum is $55, 83; and he was last paid, up to the 4th of September, 1834.

I now transmit the depositions of Hannah Crowley, and of George Crowley, with the affidavit and corrected statement of Royal Crowley himself; as proof that he is the individual bearing the name of Royal Crowley, who actually served in the Massachusetts Line of the Continental Army— as required by your letter of 23. Feby. last.
In the absence of positive testimony, it seems difficult to resist the conclusion, drawn from the depositions of Mrs Crowley, and her son George, that Royal Crowley is the individual whose identity is required to be proved. And these depositions, taken in connexion with the affidavit of the applicant, it is respectfully concieved, place the question of individuality altogether at rest.
I submit these documents, therefore, without further remark— awaiting your further pleasure in the premises.
