Question by the Court - Where and in what year were you born?
Ans. - I was born in Windham, in the County of Windham, and State of Connecticut, on the 2 nd day of July, A.D. 1754.
Ques. Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?
Ans. - I have none other than those of the town of Windham.
Ques. Where were you living when called into service; where have you lived since the revolutionary war, and where are you now living? -
Ans. When I entered the service, I lived in Windham, Windham County, Connecticut, and have always since the revolutionary war, and do now reside in said town.
Question - How were you called into service; - were you drafted, did you volunteer, or were you a substitute? - And if a substitute for whom? -
Ans. - I was drafted every time I went into the service.
First Campaign - About the first of Sept 1776, I was drafted into Capt. Samuel Morgan's Company, John Kingsbury, Lieut. Col. Experience Harts Regiment, Connecticut Militia, Thomas Brown, M c . and after days after days after for a four months term.

Soon after our company marched for York-Island, by the way of Lib- anon, where we were joined by a company under the command of a Capt. Tilden, and then proceeded on our march through Colechester, Haddam and Haddam New Haven, Fairfield, Norwalk, to East-Chester, where we joined our Regiment, and remained a few days, and then marched to West-Chester, and stayed one or two days, and then continued our march to Fort Washington, on York-Island, where we encamped in a field a short distance from the fort, where I saw a negro whipped and lashed for stealing clothes from his master, a Quaker officer in the fort, and selling them to waggoners. We staid in the neighborhood of Fort Washington 2 or 3 weeks, when we again marched for West-Chester, and halted for two or three days, keeping guard on Grays Point until the enemy moved. When we retreated for White Plains, and joined the main army under Gen. Washington. We encamped on the hill at an entrenchment - in one or two days the enemy made their appearance and encamped on the plain, after having a skirmish with the Brigade under the command of Gen. McDougal; and kept up a continued fire upon us from their cannon. A night or two after the whole army took up their line of march for North Castle. I was left on the picket guard, with others until morning, when we followed the army and joined them that night. After staying at North-Castle a few days, we were again under marching orders for a town near the north river, where the main army left us and crossed the river. We remained at this place until the first of January 1782, when we were discharged, and returned home, after serving four months.
Second Campaign. I was drafted in April Decr. 1782 for a two months term into the company commanded by Capt. Nathaniel Wales Col. Lattimore's Regiment of Connecticut Militia, and marched

Through Hartford, Ct. Albany, N. Y. and arrived at Saratoga, in 10 or 12 days. At this place we joined our Regiment, and also the main army under Gen. Gates. A few days after our arrival the main army were engaged in action with the enemy, and our Regiment remained in the rear, under arms until about an hour before sun down, when we were ordered to march to the north, and take our station in front of the right wing of the enemy - but before we arrived at our destined post we were met by a Regiment of the enemy in the woods with which we had a short skirmish, and then returned to our encampment. Col. Lattimore was wounded - a Capt. Clark, was mortally wounded and died in twenty-four hours after. We had also several men killed. We remained in this neighborhood, without again being engaged with the enemy, until after the surrender of Burgoyne when our term of two months having expired we were discharged.
Third Campaign. - About the middle of Sept. 1778, I was drafted into Capt. Nathaniel Wales, Company Col. Mason's Regiment of Connecticut Militia, and marched for New London and were stationed below the town, quartering in private houses, and working upon Fort Trumbull. After a month's service we were discharged.
Fourth Campaign. - I was drafted about the middle of July 1779, into Capt. Nehemiah Tinker's Company, Col. Experience Herrs Regiment of Connecticut Militia, for a two months tour. We were marched immediately afterwards for New London, and were quartered at the lower end of the town for about a week, when we were ordered to cross the river to Groton, where we remained about seven weeks working upon Fort Griswold the most of the time. I worked one

day barking pike poles out of the cedar swamps near the fort. We were discharged after serving two months.
Question - Did you ever receive a discharge from the service; - and, if so, by whom was it given and what has become of it? -
Ans. - I never received any other than a verbal discharge. I am personally known to the following named gentlemen. - Hon. John Baldwin, Joel W. White, Esq.
