Elias Green's certificate relation to Isaac Green's Service in the Revolutionary War.
Isaac Green was in the military service of the United States two months at Dorchester in the spring of the year 1776 at the time Genl Washington fortified Dorchester Heights, & the British troops left Boston. What officers he served under I do not recollect. I was in the same service at the same time & place, but not in the same company. When his time of service expired, we returned home together.
Said Isaac Green's next service was in the fall of the year 1776, three months under Capt. Josiah White & St William Watson, & in Col. Israel Denny's Regiment. (Said Watson & Denny) were friends of mine. He was stationed at Tarrytown on the North River, at the time of the battle at the White Plains, as I have always understood him since his service.
Said Isaac Green's next service was three months in the fall of the year 1777 at the taking of Genl Burgoyne. I think he was in Col. Lashing's Regiment, what company I do not recollect. I was in the Northern army at the same time, where I saw him & the fact but was not in the same regiment.
Said Isaac Green's next service was three months in the fall of the year 1780 on West Point under St Thomas Paken, (who commanded the company) at the time that traitor Arnold went off to the British. I served in the same company at the same time.
I have been well acquainted with the said Isaac Green from a boy was brought up in the same family with him: he was considered a man of truth & veracity at the time of his service he lived in the town of Leicester, in the county of Worcester.

in the state of Massachusetts. He now lives in the town of Windsor in the county of Windsor & state of Vermont. I, Elias Green, the subscriber, now lives in the town of Newbridge in the county of Franklin, in the state of Vermont.
