State of New York County of Wayne
ss On this day of January 1847-
Personally appeared before the subscriber a Justice of the peace in and for said County Maxwell Green of Huron, in said County aged eighty five years; who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following amended Declaration, in order to obtain the benefits of the act of Congress of the 7th June 1832. - That he is now eighty five years old - That during the War of the Revolution he Resided in the town of Windham, in Windham County N.Y. That he Enlisted in the Spring of 1778, under Capt. Abner Robinson 1st Lieutenant Gamaliel Riley - 2d Lieutenant Aaron Cleveland - and served in Colonel Samuel McLean's Regiment one Year - That during said Year, this deponent was Stationed, first at White Plains, Next at West Point, and Lastly at New London where he was honorably discharged in the Spring of the Year 1779 - This deponent Recollects that the Monmouth Battle took place in the Summer of the Year he Enlisted & while he was in the Service - This deponent had the impression, when he made his former Declaration, that he Enlisted in the Month of June - but from Circumstances that has since occurred to his mind he thinks it was quite Early in the Spring, as he will Recollects that while Marching to join the army, that the weather was Cold, and the Roads very bad - That in the fall of the same Year he Returned from the one Year Service. This deponent was drafted and went in to the Service of the United States again under Captain William Reed, Lieut. Nathaniel Peck - was Stationed part of the time at Groton & part of the time at New London. Served six Months & was Honorably discharged - That in the fall of 1843 This deponent made an application for a pension for the above named Service. Through Brad Soy of Goshen, N.Y. as his agent - That in 1844 he was offered a pension for six Months Service, which he accepted, being unable at that time to prove more Service - That he has since been informed that he claimed to have served the one Year under Captain Abner Roberts, instead of Robinson - which if so was not intentional on the part of this deponent, but must have been a mistake on the part of Mr. Soy who drew up the declaration, and not observed when this deponent Executed said declaration - That he now makes this amended Declaration for the purpose of correcting the error in the name of his said Captain - and also to correct what he now believes to have been an error, in stating positively that his first Service commenced in June when he now thinks it commenced earlier in the Season & may have been as Early as March.

I would again call your attention to the case of Susan Kipley deed I cannot add new proof - The last proof is on file that the nature of the case will allow and I think on an examination you will allow the claim

Mr. Green acknowledges that this is all the service that his enlistment entitled him to, but claims that on account of emergency he was retained in actual service one year. Which statement the inclosed Certificate of the Comptroller of Ct. seems to corroborate, from the fact that the amount appropriated to pay the expenses of Capt. Abner Robinson's Company is sufficient to cover the expenses for one year service. Please examine and report.

Sir,
Permit me to call Your attention to the claim of Roswell Green of New York for Bounty Land, under act of 3 rd March 1855 - and Numbered (2937). filed on 12 th March 31.
Mr Greens claim is founded on Revolutionary Service, and established, by a Certificate of the Record of Revolutionary Service in the Secretarys Office, at Hartford Connecticut. That Certificate of Service is now on file in the Pension Office. It was supposed that Mr Green would have the benefit of that proof which would be deemed sufficient to establish his Service by Record Evidence. Your Report of August 13 th requires Mr Green to furnish Record Evidence of fourteen days Service.
Mr Green wishes to know whether he can have the benefit of the proof of Service on file in support of his claim to a pension, to sustain his claim to Bounty Land.

Annexed is a certificate of what is to be found in relation to Capt Robinson. there are no pay rolls in this office of said service. they were sent to Philadelphia and burned at the time the war office was burned. This is all the information that can be had in relation to militia service, or State troops.
M c Clarren was the common mode of pronunciation at that time; and is very frequently used at this day. Should this not meet the case, if you will write me the particulars, in relation to the service performed, the officers in command, the place where & the time when, I will endeavour to give you all the information this office will afford.

Wayne County ss, On this 19 th day of July 1881
personally appeared before the subscribers a Master of the peace in and for said County, Roosevelt Green of Huron in said County aged ninety one years & over who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following Supplementary Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832. That during the War of the Revolution he lived in the town of Windham - Windham County Connecticut. That he enlisted and entered the service in the Winter or early in the Spring of 1778, under Captain Abner Robinson Col. Samuel M c Clellan for one year, it was understood when this deponent enlisted, that the terms of the service was to be one half of the time on duty the other half at home. That he remained in the service six months was then discharged. Went home and remained about two weeks, when word came that the Enemy was about to attack New London. On that account Captain Robinson's Company was ordered to New London, to which place this deponent marched together with the rest of said Company and remained in service until the next February when he was discharged - That in the fall of the same year which was 1779, he was drafted and went out under Col. Webb, Capt. William Reed served part of the time at New London and part of the time at Grater- was out six  three months and was discharged -
This deponent has claimed the same amount of service in two former Declarations, and in answer was told that he could not have served but six months under Captain Abner Robinson, because the terms of that service required but one half of the time on duty - The object of this Declaration is to state the fact of the alarm at New London - which this deponent thinks was the reason why he was ordered out the second time, and was kept in service the whole year in stead of six months

This deponent is sure he is not mistaken about his serving one year under Capt. Robinson from the fact that the first term of six months was spent at White Plains and West Point. That after being ordered out the second term was stationed most of the time at New London. That he is sure he was drafted in the fall of the same year he was discharged from his year served, for six  three months. That he was stationed at New London and occupied the same Barracks he did, the winter before. That he was well acquainted with his Capt. both before and after the service. That his name was Mr. Reed. That the following named persons served with him in the same Company, viz Schabuer, Mudge, Robert Gager Elhana Smith, Jonathan Downing and Joel Kelsobury Swain and Subscribed before  his the day and year first above written Russell H. Green March 1861. George justice

Declaration
In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 21 st June 1832.
State of New York County of Wayne ss.
On this 3 rd day of June 1846 personally appeared before the Subscriber a Judge of the Courts in & for the County of Wayne, State of New York, of known to me to be the person described in and who executed the foregoing Declaration, and acknowledged that he executed the same for the purposes and consideration therein expressed. That he was at the time of making the said Declaration, a resident of the County of Wayne, State of New York, and was then seventy four years of age, to the best of his knowledge & belief he was eighty four years old on the 2 nd day of April last. That during the Revolutionary war he lived in the town of Windham, State of Connecticut. That he enlisted in 1778 under Capt. Abner Robinson of 1 st Unit. Samuel Rife's Coy. 2 nd Unit. Aaron Cleveland and Col. McCallum or McCallen and served one year. That he was stationed first at White Plains - West at West Point, and lastly at New London, when he was honorably discharged. That in the fall of 1779 he was drafted and went out under Capt. Rife , Capt. William Rife and Lieut. Nathaniel Peck. Was stationed a part of the time at Groton and the residue at New London. Served six months and was honorably discharged. That in the fall of 1843 he applied for a pension for the above named periods of time, through Asahel Doolittle of Circle W.H. as his agent. That in 1844 he was offered a pension at the rate of Twenty Dollars per annum, which he accepted, being unable at that time to furnish satisfactory proof of having performed more than 6 months service. That in regard to the time, at which his first term of service commenced he is not positive - his impression was, when he made the declaration attached to above, that his first term of service commenced in the month of June - but from information since obtained upon which he thinks he can rely, he is induced to believe that it was earlier in the year than June. That he has been told recently, that he claimed to have served the one year under Capt. Abner Roberts, instead of Robinson, which, if so, was not intentional on the part of this declarant, but must have been a mistake made by Mr. Doolittle when he executed said paper. That he has always recollected that the name of the Capt. under whom he served one year was Abner Robinson, and as the said error (alleged to exist) may have had some influence in causing the Commission of Pensions to withhold a certificate for the said periods - this declaration is made for the purpose of correcting said mistake (if it exists) and of obtaining the pension due him for the said term of one year.
