Be it remembered that on the nineteenth day of November in the year Eighteen hundred thirty two personally appeared in Ohio court before the judges of this Court of Common Pleas from the said County of Delaware now in session John Budd of Harlem Township in the County of Delaware aged eighty two years who having first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make this following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress ? June 7, 1832. I the said John Budd on my ? oath state that I entered the service of the United States and served there under the following named officers and under the following circumstances as herein stated, to wit: I was born on Long Island, New York October 23rd 1750. In 1771 or 2 I moved with my father to Wyoming Penna. where I resided during the year of the revolution. About a year or two before the battle of Wyoming, I volunteered to serve a tour of service under Capt. John Jenkins. We mustered our company at Kingston in Wyoming. Our object was to go up the Susquehannah river to ? it from the enemy and drive off the Indians and tories. We loaded a battiany? with provisions and took it up with us. We went up the river about 70 miles to a place called the Harding Stone Flatts. We also took provisions from the tories in the Country where we went. We stayed in the country as long as our provisions lasted, and then we returned home. As near as I can recollect I remained this time in this service three months. In December previous to the battle of Wyoming I again volunteered to serve another tour of service similar to the last under Capt. Badlock. We mustered at Kingston and went up the river into the same country as before carrying our provisions on pack horses. We went up the river 8 or 10 miles further than before to a town of tories called Sheshequin. The weather was very bad and the travelling very difficult. At Sheshequin we took some indians and about 30 white men who were called tories, who were afterwards sent to Connecticut as prisoners, which state then claimed jurisdiction over the Wyoming Country. We also took a number of cattle and horses which were brought to Wyoming and turned into the service. After some time we returned home. I was in this service at least one month. In March or April before the battle of Wyoming I went to a place called Luxawanna about 10 miles above the fort at Wilksburg, where I belonged and served in a company under Capt. Blancher and was under arms until the 4th of July following. Soon after I went there I was employed with the rest of the company under Capt. Blancher, in building a block house to defend the country from the indians, which we compleated a short time before the battle at Wilksburg or Wyoming which was on the 3rd of July 1778. While I was stationed here I was several times sent with a detachment of men from the Fort to skirmish with the indians and spy their movements. The garrison during this time was almost always in a state of calm and under ?. On the 4th of July while the Fort was besieged a message was sent with a flag of truce to us from the Forts at Wilksburg, informing us that they had been beaten in battle on the day previous, and that they had capitulated; and that the whole country was surrendered to the ?. The terms of the capitulation were that we were not to take up arms again during the war. We marched out of the Fort, Struck our arms and surrendered to the enemy, who were there commanded by a British Lieutanant. Consequenses of the terms of this capitulation I was never again called upon or permitted again to take up arms during the war. Those who came under the capitulation until the place was retaken wore bands or white cloth around their hats, by the order and directions of the British officers. I was however employed several times in bringing ammunition through the swamp from a Fort near Easton to Wilksburg. Before I was taken prisoner I served at least seven months. I resided in the Wyoming Country until 1810 when I removed from there to Delaware County, Ohio, where I now reside. I have no documentary evidence also know of no person whose testimony I can provide who can testify to my services. I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declare that my name is not on the pension role of the agency of any state. Sworn and subscribed to the day & year aforesaid John Budd We Daniel Bennett (a methodist C. P.
