recollect the name of his Captain he served in that Company 3 months and then delivered by

upon the frontiers of the State of New Jersey until his term of service expired when he was
discharged by his Capt, which discharge is now lost, he does not recollect the names of the
officers whom he served under in this town.

He then enlisted for 3 years under a recruiting officer by the name of Morrison as well as he now
remembers. He joined the 4th Jersey Regiment and afterwards belonged to the 1st Jersey Regiment
in which he was under a Capt. Mitchell, when discharged he was at the head of Elk when the
Brittish first landed and had a fire or two at them there. He was afterwards in the battle of
Brandywine and fought in the division commanded by General Starling & Genl. Maxwell. He
recollects that in this battle the British attempted to cross the Brandywine at a point higher up than
where he was but this movement was discovered, and severe Conflict took place between them
and the americans as they crossed that Stream. He was also in the battle of Germantown & fought
in the same division, as well as he recollects. He remembers that he marched nearly all night and
reached Germantown very early in the morning. He also remembers that it was said that
Americans had more prisoners than they had men, and one of the Genls. who was to have joined
them at Germantown drank too much, as it was said, and in consequence of the misconduct of that
officer, it was said, the battle was lost. He after this was taken sick with what was called the camp
fever, but when Genl. Washington followed the enemy after they left Philadelphia, he joined his
company and marched some distance into the State of new Jersey where he was again taken sick
and himself with others who had the fever lay in Provincetown when the battle of Monmouth was
fought. He was with many other sick removed to a place called Sourland[?], the name of his
principal Doctor was Blomfield, or Bloomfield. When he recovered he followed and joined the
army at Elizabethtown in New Jersy. He then went into the State of Pennsylvania and joined a
Company at Beauford for 9 months against the Indians under Capt. John Morris. He then heard
there was like to be a meeting in the American Army on account of those who had enlisted for 3
years not obtaining their discharge at the expiration of that time, and he immediately returned into
the State of New Jersy and there received his discharge which is long since lost. He lay one
winter at the Valley Forge in Pennsylvania and was frequently one of General Washington's
guards. He served after he had enlisted for 3 years, 9 months over his time, which made his total
