At this time I was 15 yrs old .I entered the service at Stillwater after the British had left Ticondroga and before the battle of Bennington fought by Gen. Starks between these two events I jointed the army and our brigade was engaged in the first battle of Stillwater. How long it was before the second battle I do not actually remember but on the morning of that engagement of us got liberty to go out of the camp into the country. We went out to different houses in mile or two from camp when we heard brisk firing and hastened back to the camp where we arrived there our reg. were all gone and engaged in the battle But we knew not where our Reg. were engaged and went to Gen. Gates. Gen. Gates was on the little fort in the near of the battle and he immediately assigned us where we ask him where we should go. That year armies in the fort and store your arms in the fort and let that young man, meaning me stay with them.
