Personally appears before me the subscriber one of the Justices of the Peace in Superior Court, Aaron Hageman who being duly sworn deponeth & saith that by reason of old age & the consequent loss of memory he cannot swear positively to the second length of all his services, but he can now particularly specify that he did in his original the declaration not think it was the most necessary but now under the understanding of the directions of the department he proceeds more specially to set forth his services to the best of his recollection & he served all the time as a private until his second term of a month under Capt. Jones when he acted as sergeant. He first entered the service was enrolled in the early part of 1776 and ordered out at that time & voluntarily served one month under as he now thinks Pennypacker Capt.

He was also ordered out next spring one month under Whittlock & was up about the height of the bridge. I was then also ordered out spring one month under Capt. Van Nest was stationed in the western part of Franklin in scouts was guarding the bridge then engaged there at the time the enemy went up to Somerset Court House. Afterwards in the year 1777 very warm weather was ordered out spring one month under Col d Van Nest - the same Captain was on the west side of the Saratoga engaged as before in guarding. In the fall of 1777 he was ordered out spring two tours of a month each under Whittlock was stationed in Somerset was during this period marched to Trenton bridge from the Penn a was under Genl. Sullivan at the battle of Germantown had a very hard time. In the year 1778 he was ordered out as before spring five tours of a month each - the first two tours under Col d  Stewart  Murray the latter three tours under Col d Jones was stationed on the river on the west side of the Saratoga was at Woodbridge Elizabeth Town was during the summer of this was marched to Philadelphia at the time the enemy attempted to re-occupy New Jersey. When the Monmouth was in that lot upon contact had held night this into heat of day - In the next year in 1779 the year after the battle of Mon- mouth he was ordered out spring two tours of a month

each - the former under Capt. Rappleyea the latter under Capt. Martin both months in the eastern part of the state and at Somerton in Morris County engaged in protecting that portion of the state which in their opinion was less served two or three towns of a month each under Capt.

Van Keut the latter two months under Capt. Rappleyea & with Col. Smith or Martin & Stationed near the west side of the Delaware in the performance of similar duties -
In the year 1781 he was also ordered out of service three times of a month - the first under Capt. Van Keut - the second under Capt. Rappleyea & the third under Capt. Van Keut was stationed in East New Jersey actively engaged in shielding the defenseless families & property of the inhabitants from the depredations of the Tories & Loyalists & was not more than 10 miles from the enemy being out at night several months under Capt.

Emmer Randolph Chas Brumley

State of New Jersey } Somerset County } ss: Be it known that on this Twenty ninth day of July 1833 before me a Justice of the Peace in and for the County aforesaid, personally ap- peared Abraham Van Nest, who being duly sworn, doth on his oath, say, that he is well acquainted with Aaron Hagaman, an applicant for a Pension mentioned in paper marked 12.622. has known him for a long time, believes him to be a man of strict veracity & honor, & incapable of making a false statement under oath - that in consequence of my advanced age, being now in his 83 rd year, cannot distinctly recollect events forty or fifty years ago - cannot remember that said Hagaman was out with him or under him, at any time, though from a circum- stance stated by said Hagaman, of a man's being wounded in the heel, is possible said Hagaman must have been present with him and under his command. has no doubt of the truth of any part of said Ha- gamans statement, and that he served loyally & faithfully as he says he did - said Haga- man did not live within the bounds of his military company, and this is a strong reason why deponent cannot particularly recollect him, and his services under him were only as as at a distance. That in relation to his own services, deponent found himself greatly obliged to make them out, & could have done it but for the assistance rendered him by the better recollection of others, and recalling things to his mind - That in relation to said Hagaman he repeats his conviction that

he has told the truth and nothing but the truth in his statement, as is entitled to all credit. Deponent further says that there are several other soldiers of the Revolution who say they have served under him, & who doubtless did so some, whom he cannot recollect. That it may easily be that a captain should forget his men, who were under his eye only for a short time, but that the men will, for obvious reasons, be much more strongly impressed with the names described of their captain from the day and year Abm Van Rente aforesaid, before me at Milton, Tompkins County
Peter P Slaats Justice of the Peace 1833
I hereby certify that Abraham Van Rente, the above named deponent is a credible person, and that his statement is entitled to full belief.
