Monday County ss. I Sylvanus Fousley am one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas for the said County do certify to the Honorable Secretary of the War De- partment that on this fourth day of April 1818 personally came before me George Grinnell a resident of the town of Manlius in said County and being duly sworn declares on oath that he enlisted in to the service of the United States in the latter part of the year 1775 in the Regi- ment commanded by Colonel Lippet in the Rhode Island Troops to serve for the term of eighteen months, in the Com- pany of Captain Thomas Arnold - That he marched from New Port to York Island retreat- ed (under General Lee) to White Plains - was en- gaged in the battle at that place - Then marched through the fersies in General Lee's division to Bristol where they joined Genl Washington's army - Was met in the action at Trenton - Then at the taking of Princeton and remained in New Jersey till the spring of the year 1777 when he was sent to Pats- kill and was honorably discharged having served out the period of his enlistment - He further declares that he has now lost his discharge and does not recollect the day of its date. He also declares that he is wholly destitute of property and the means of support and is sixty two years of age and that he receives no pension from the United States
From all which and from my person- al knowledge of said George Grinnell as to his ability to support himself, it appears to my satisfaction that he did serve the United States in the revolutionary war as above stated for the term of eighteen months and that by reason of his reduced circum- stances in life he is in need of assistance from his country for support
Done in pursuance of the act of Com

grip of the United States entitled "an act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary war Approved March 20 1818"
