State of Vermont Rutland County ss

Personally appeared before the subscriber a Justice of the Peace for said County Elijah Tryon a resident of the town of West Haven in said County, aged eighty-seven years and after being duly sworn makes the following declaration as an amendment to the declaration he made before the Hon. Almond Warner in the A. D. 1833 (as declarant believes) in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions of the Act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. That he first entered the Army as a boy from the town of Granville in the Commonweath of Massachusetts and in a company commanded by Capt. Rowley, Lieutenant Leonard and Ensign Blood, and Orderly Seregeant Peckham and a Sergeant Stebbins, and declarant says in his mess were soldiers Alderton Pratt, John Gleason, Nathan Walden, and --- Allen, his first name does not recollect. Said Alderton Pratt and John Gleason afterwards deserted. Declarant states that his first service was in Rhode Island and that he was in the battle of Rhode Island on the 28th or 29th August 1778. Declarant states that his friend and school-mate Elijah Williams who was in Col. Jackson's Regt. was wounded in said battle. Declarant says that he served in said company six months (in Capt. Rowleys company Col. Jacobs Regt. ) Declarant further states that he afterwards entered the Army of the Revolution in Capt. Dows company, Col. Bigelows Regt. in the A. D. 1780, and was mustered at Springfield Massachusetts and joined the Army at West Point. The company was commanded for the most part of the time by Lieutenant Henry Marble who also signed the discharge which was given to the declarant when his time expired for which he was enlisted (viz) six months. Said discharge declarant saith he gave to Oliver Phelps, Esq. who was a representative from the town of Granville in the Legislature of Massachusetts who said he wanted it for the purpose of making up the accounts for that town. Declarant recollects the names of Seba Granger, William Gould, Ezekial Hale, and Thomas Pelton who were in the company to which he belonged and that some of them were present when Major Andre was executed, but declarant was not present, as he was confined by sickness. Declarant saith that he marched with the army to Pittsfield and then New Jersey, and finally to West Point where he was discharged, having served a period of six months and five days as he believes.

Declarant further says that his name always spelt Tryon which was also the way it was spelt by his father, but at the period of his childhood and up to the time he left Massachusetts he was more generally called Elijah Tryall or Trial, and declarant says his father, as well as other members of the family were so called, and it was so used without objections. Declarant further states that he has been told that his name was written on the records Tryall but by what means it became so written he does not know, as he was the only person by the name of Tryon or of Tryall in the company to which he belonged, or who at any period resided in the town of Granville as he believes. And he further states that he is the identical person who served for a period of twelve months and five days as narrated above in this supplemental declaration.

Declarant further states a certain receipt which is attached to this declaration and signed by Oliver Phelps and dated Dec. 2, 1782 was given to him by the said Oliver Phelps and has been in his possession since the date of it in 1782. Declarant further states that he was not aware that his name was spelt Tryal by Esq. Phelps not having observed it until his attention was called to it this day, and that he is the same person who delivered the articles mentioned in the recept, said recept, being in the words and figures (to wit): "Recd. from Slr. Seth Austin one sett of sleigh Buckles by the hand of Elijah Tryal to account for.

Dec. 2, 1782. "Oliver Phelps"

Declarant further states that he now resides in the town of Westhaven and State of Vermont where he has resided for more than sixty years. And he now asks that the pension with the arrears provided under the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832 be paid to him. Elijah Tryon
