We then marched through Bristol, Burlington, Princeton and Newark to New York and were encamped two days back of New York, we built a battery back of New York near the East River. Col. Kachlein was our Colonel. Major Barndouist was our Major. At New York we joined several other companies of the Flying Camp. The Flying Camp then amounted to about five hundred men. We were then taken over to Long Island from New York. The Fort on Long Island was taken the same day we got over. In three or four days after we got there we were taken prisoners. I was put on the Roe Buck a prison ship and remained there about five days. From thence we were taken on board another vessel where we remained a few days. We were then taken to the City of New York, the British then having taken possession of it. We were then put into the Presbyterian Meeting House as prisoners and were kept there seventeen weeks and five days. A great many of the prisoners died at that place. We were then taken to Burlington (New Jersey) we marched to Burlington on foot and were taken from there to Philadelphia in waggons. We were then put into a hospital (as it was called). We had been discharged in New York on parol. I was in Philadelphia on New Years day 1777. From Philadelphia I went home. Genl Washington was on Long Island at the time I was there. I remained at home on parol for a considerable time, believe two years, when we were exchanged and received notice of our exchange. He hereby relinquished every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declared his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state. He has no documentary evidence and knows of no persons by whom to prove his services except the accompanying depositions.
