I certify that Mr. Hurrell a citizen of the United States. Born in Fairfield County, State of Connecticut on the 24 th day of July 1757 now a citizen of Scott County & State aforesaid. This day personally appeared before me the undersigned one of the Circuit Judges for the State State aforesaid. And made oath that he entered the service of his country, as a volunteer in Capt David Dunmers Company on the 20 th day of April 1775 in which service he continued about three weeks and about the 15 th May 1775 entered as a soldier in Capt Demmans company attached to Col. Watertowns Regiment of the Connecticut line to serve in the service and defence of the United States till the first day of January 1776 and that the company marched with the Regt. to New York in June and from thence in July marched to Albany from thence to Fort Edward from thence to Skaneateles at the South end of Lake Champlain from thence by water to Ticonderogue that there he received a Sergeants warrant and acted as such up till the time of service expired from Ticonderogue he with the army under Genl. Stuyler moved down Lake Champlain against Canada and arrived on the Island of Auspex which was taken possession of by the American Army, from thence he was ordered on a detachment of troops under the command of Col. Watertown to reconnoitre Fort St Johns where the British and Indians ambuscaded the column where the battle continued one hour before the British line gave way in which many of our poor fellows lost their lives for their countrys cause.

After the return to camp Gen l . Montgomery took the command of the army and marched the whole army against the British fort St Johns and laid siege to it for 21 days and on the 23 rd days siege Gen l . Montgomery marched round the Fort to the north and on the 13 th of November 1775 the British Garrison Surrendered to the American Army under Gen l . Montgomery there as soon as arrangements could be made moved on towards Montreal where when the army arrived on the 12 th December under very privation and hardship and on the 13 th the city Surren- dered to the American Arms.
After the Army under Gen l . Montgomery had the possession of Montreal orders was received at head quarters from Congress to raise out of the disbanded troops a regiment to be commanded by Sam l . Elmore and he receiv- ed an appointment as Ensign in Capt Robert Walkers company for the year 1776 and the com- pany & Reg t continued in Canada till drove out by the British Army under Gen l . Burgoon and arrived in Albany from there the Reg t was or- dered up the Mohock river and stationed in the winter at fort Schuyler where he served out the term of twelve months as an Ensign. And on the 1 st day of January 1777 he received an appointment of first second Lieutenant in Capt l . Robert Walkers company of the second Battalion of Artillery commanded by Col l . John Sam in the continental Army in which capacity he acted until the first day of Sept r 1777 at which time he was promoted to a first Lieutenant in the same company & dated the 21 st day of April 1780 as appears by the commission now before me and to take rank

from the 5 th day of September 1777 as first Lieu- tenant as aforesaid that he acted and performed the duties as such until the first day of October 1780 as appears by the endorsement on the said commission at which time he was so disabled by sickness and inability that he was not able to perform his duty which occasioned his resignation on the 3 rd day of October 1780 as appears by the endorsement on the said com- mission that he was at the siege of St Johns Fort Schuyler & Montgomery and in various other actions in one the cannonading so affected his head that he lost his hearing of one ear that he is now in the 60 th year of his age is infirm and afflicted with deafness that he is not wealthy but cannot say that he is rem- arkable indigent but from having received a wound in his right arm During the Ame- rican war in the Western Country and bodily infirmity he is unable to labour for support that he has never received a pension or land from his country for 5 years & 6 months hard service and he claims the benefit of the late law of Congress making provision for the officers and Soldiers of the revolutionary war and thinks his services entitle him to its provisions & hopes to be allowed what is granted to others of which he entertains no doubt as it will greatly assist him to live more comfortable the few remaining days he has to live

Dearest.
Although you have not thought it worth your while to write me since I saw you, yet a Brother's affection brought me once more to take the pen to inform you, Cornelia, it is supposed will not exist over the morrow, as she has decayed very fast lately, but blessed be God, about three weeks ago she was brought to rejoice in the Lord, and now in her last moments she is resigned to the will of God, O Peggy my loss is great, but I hope it is her great gain, Sally stands by her bedside watching her departing Spirit, her Family is well, O my poor little Babies deprived of a Mother in their infant state to soothe their cares and counsel their more ripe years, but God gave, He takes & Blessed be his Holy Name, Dearest how is with you? does grace reign in exercise? Or does the world clog your walk? I would just mention as a caution although we may be out of Christians watch yet God continually sees us, let us then be more afraid of offending him than of death itself, for life without his love no relish can afford. I have heard from our Friends that they were fixed down, and like the country full as well as can be expected, W m Goforth gets business among them and is like to do tolerably well, How does Richard do? and what business does he follow? I'm afraid he will be ruined, the very time of life when he should be gaining an education to be squandered away in Idleness, is lamentable. Dearest, I must bid you adieu; as my head is confused and cannot scarcely attend to any thing at this time. Remember me I humbly pray, & may every blessing attend you is the desire of y r loving Brother
N.B: I have just been to the Bed and W d . Stephen Gans melia says give my love to Billy & Peggy tell them I expect see them in the next world. I hope to see Margaret Hubbell in the next my love to Hubbell peace & happiness attend him
