State of New Jersey, Middlesex County, ss. On this twenty first day of July one thousand eight hun- dred and sixty three, before me a Justice of the Peace in and for the County aforesaid, person- ally appeared Isaac Guldick, known to me as a credible person, in the 83 rd year of his age, who being duly sworn, on his oath saith, that he was engaged in the militia service of New Jersey during the war of the Revolution, and is now in the receipt of a very small pension of twenty five dollars a year for the services he then performed; why he did not succeed in obtaining more he cannot tell, he belonged to the militia company of Capt. Joachim Guldick, of Middlesex County. He was well acquainted with James Gulick for many of the County of Middlesex, dec. lived a neighbor to him during the Revolution, and they both belonged to the same militia company: they were frequently out at the same time, but not always. He recollects the service of James Gulick at Porles Hook in the Spring of 1776; said Gulick engaged for two months, but his affairs at home requiring 1776 his presence, he served only one month, & hired a substitute for the remaining month. This town was under Capt. Guldick & Col. Schuyler. He also remem- bers said Gulick at Cranberry in the Winter of 1776-7 whilst Col. Partridge lay at Brunswick. A considerable body of militia was collected, to observe the movements of the enemy, and to check his depredations. Both deponent & said Gulick were there. They enlisted for four months, and served out the term under Capt. Guldick, & Col. Schuyler. The militia were not then closed, as he thinks, no monthly term established, and the militia served according to the exigencies of the time. Some

were there for two months, some for three, & some for four or more. This deponent said Eulick served four months each. During the same year 1 mo of 1777 said Eulick served a term of a month on the frontiers at Woodbridge & Elizabethton, under Capt. Williamson, and deponent believes Col. Nelson. He recollects but one term of a month which said
1 mo Eulick in 1778, and that was on the lines at Woodbridge under Capt. Eulick & Col. Nelson. In 1779, the said Eulick, as deponent remembers, served two terms of a month each under Capt.
2 mo Morgan, at Chesquakes and along the shore of Sandy Hook, in guarding the lines from an enemy on Staten Island. This service of guarding in South Amboy, Woodbridge, & other places bordering upon Staten Island, was kept up, as he remem- bers, the whole of the war; and Capt. Morgan, Lieut. Van Mydell & others were constantly engaged in it. He believes it was during the year of 1779, that said Eulick performed a term of a month, marching to Morris Town, and other places in that section of the state, under Capt. Smith Addis & some Colonel from Essex County. In 1780, at the time of the battle of Springfield both this deponent & said Eulick were out under, he thinks, their own Capt. Eulick, Col. Nelson and performed a term of fifteen days. Being en- gaged during the time of the battle: said
15 days Eulick performed another term of a month during 1 mo this year at Woodbridge & Elizabethton under Capt. Eulick & Col. Nelson. In the year 1781, at the time of the retreat of the Pennsylvania troops, the militia of New Jersey were called, & those of the township of South Amboy were collected at Shrewsbury: both deponent

and said James English was there, and was kept out ten days, certainly, he thinks longer, but can- 10 days, only ten days, under Capt English & Col Taylor. He cannot now task his memory for any thing further in particular. He can only say that he recollects him gen- erally throughout the war, as a very active man, and a faithful soldier. He himself also performed for a three times as much service as he receives pay for; and so he stated to Judge Roberts or Cheney at the time we said Judge drew up the paper. He gave them, as nearly as he can remember, substantially the same statement of his own services he does now. He is enabled to fix upon dates, the year in which particular services were performed, from some impressive cir- cumstance of that year, or some well known histo- rical fact; and he has resorted to these methods of refreshing his memory and fixing dates.

Sir,
Duty compels me to ask, why a warrant has not been issued in the Bounty land claim No. 57,501, of Mrs. Elizabeth, widow of James Gulick, under the Act of March 3 rd 1855; I know the case was suspended for want of record evidence of service, but it was restored, by the Act of May 14 th 1856, to which I called the attention of the Office, on the 22 nd of September last, in a letter of that date.
This claimant is over ninety years of age, and her children are thinking, and saying, that the warrant is designedly withheld, until she dies; as a matter of course, it is not so; and yet, persons ignorant of the complexity, and immense amount, of the business, of the Pension Office, might, under the circumstances, very naturally think so; but, as she "yet lives," let us have the warrant.
Very Respectfully;
James L. Street. Atty.

Sir,
Manfield, Apr 20, 1845.
My friend, the Hon J F Randolph, who has been the medium of communication with the Department in the case of Elizabeth Gullick, having taken a seat upon the Bench of the Supreme Court, desires to be relieved from any further agency in the matter. I therefore send to you the enclosed affidavit of John Lott relative to the services of Mrs Gullick's husband. Upon the most diligent inquiry, I do not find any further testimony, of any kind, attainable in this case; and I therefore present the earnest petition of Mrs Gullick that it may be favorably considered as it stands, and that she may have the opportunity, which must soon be lost to her forever, of acknowledging with gratitude the services of her country.
Which expressing the hope and belief that the Department will feel itself justified in allowing to Mrs Gullick a liberal estimate of her husband's services, I am authorized and requested to say, that as she can add nothing to the proofs in her case, she will cheerfully accept whatever the Department may judge to be proper.
Most Respectfully,
Your Obt Servt

State of New Jersey, County of Middlesex Before me the fifteenth  twentieth day of April 1820. Per- sonally appeared the undersigned Thomas L. W. Bowell of the county aforesaid, John Lott, known to me as a credible person, entitled to implicit confi- dence, who being duly sworn, on his oath saith: That he is in the eighty seventh year of his age, a son of the late Nathaniel Bowell, and has in the receipt of a pension for his services in the militia of New Jersey: That being called upon to say whether he knew James Gulick, formerly of the County of Middlesex, deceased, and if so, whether he recollects any thing of his revolutionary services, he says that he was intimately acquainted with not only James but also Abraham & Isaac Gulick, that the latter was a captain in the militia, & of the company to which they all belonged; that al- though he cannot testify to all the services of James Gulick, not having always been out of with him, and a long period having gone by since they were rendered, yet he distinctly remembers that the said James Gulick served all Win- ter at Cranbury, at the time the British were in possession of New Brunswick - the militia was a very cold one, & they were greatly exposed by being almost constantly under arms, to pre- vent & punish marauding parties. The Captain under which the said James served was his brother Isaac Gulick. He also remembers that the Superior Officer. Their service lasted from De- cember 1776 to May or June 1777, without interruption to most of the soldiers, & as he believes, with very little intermission to James Gulick. He also remembers particularly that the said James Gulick was out on occasion of the battle of Red Bank, but whether on a regular monthly tour, or on that special service he does not remember. He served at any rate half a month there. He recollects him generally

Throughout the war, but not with sufficient distinction new to undertake at this acute period to specify his terms. He was content in his answer to all the regular & special calls made upon him, and as there were very numerous, he could not have served in all, as he earnestly believes, less than two years.

In the case of the claim of Elizabeth Guelich of which you will be in on the 9 th inst, I will state that I have no interest in it, not even that of a common Agent, I was requested as the then only Representative of this district to forward the claim, which from all that I can learn I believe to be a very just & righteous one, & as the only doubt with the Dept t seems to be as to the credibility of some of the witnesses - then I am well assured an creditable persons & I have no doubt from the knowledge I have of the justice that their depositions were fairly taken - The Dept t must be aware of the matter

impossibility of these old people recalling the minutiae of events so long time elapsed it certainly is not altogether just to condemn a man's veracity because he cannot write - May I ask the Dept to re-examine the case and make such allowance as it merits -
Yours &

Middlesex County, ss. On this 28th day of September 1843, before me a Justice of the Peace in and for the County aforesaid, personally appeared Lewis Johnson, of said County, known to me as a credible person, his being duly sworn, on his oath saith that he is a soldier of the Revolution, and in the receipt of a pension as such; that he was well acquainted with James Gulick, formerly of the County aforesaid, deceased; lived in the same neighborhood with him in the War of the Revolution; recollects him as having served under Capt. Hyatt, who was afterwards commis- sioned in the continental service. Deponent served with said Gulick at Cranbury in the winter of 1776-7. and there last 23 four months, as deponent believes. Gulick was under his brother Capt. William Gulick, Col. Nichols commanded. Deponent recollects Gulick again at the battle of Monmouth, when said Gulick was out for a month under Capt. Gulick. In September, as he thinks, of the same year, said James Gulick served another time of a month under Capt. Gulick at Elizabeth Town Woodbridge under Capt. Gulick. Again in 1779, said Gulick served a time of a month on the same station under Capt. John Wayburn, as deponent thinks. And again in 1781, a time of two weeks at Spotswood, under Capt. Gulick, at the time of the Penn- sylvania revolt of troops. Deponent cannot specify any other times, but recollects said Gulick generally throughout the war as a true May & faithful soldier.
