I enlisted at Henrico Courthouse in the State of Virginia, under CAPTAIN SAMUEL BROOKER - was transferred and served under CAPT. WALLACE - was with WOODFORD'S regiment; then served under CAPTAIN BEAUFORT and was in his defeat in this state. I was in one engagement on the North River under GEN. WAYNE. I got badly wounded in Beaufort's defeat; was carried to Camden, and lay two under the care of DR. ALEXANDER and was there discharged. I enlisted for three years or during the war and served three years.
