Peter Mullenburgh [sic: Peter Muhlenberg] was Colonel of the regiment. The Lieutenant of Cap’n. Berry was John Joliff, and the ensign Richard Easton. The regiment was organized at Winchester Virginia,
marched from Winchester to James river near Norfolk, then marched to a place called Halifax [NC] thence marched to Charleston South Carolina, and was there at the attack made on the fort on Sullivans Island [Fort Sullivan, afterwards named Fort Moultrie; Battle of Sullivans Island, 28 June 1776]. Then marched to Savannah in Georgia left that place in two or three days and marched to a town called Sunbury. lay there about three months, during which the soldiers were very sickly and were stationed round in the neighbourhood for or five at each house in the ountry. and at length they were commanded when they had a little recovered, to rendevouz at Savannah, whence we marched to virginia. eighteen days before Christmas. were allowed to go home on furlough. when the regiment arrived near Winchester Virginia. after furlough was out returned to Winchester and marched thence to Philadelphia in the spring. while there the soldiery took the small pox. the men were ordered to meet on the common and all that had not taken the small pox, were taken into the city again and innoculated, and among them was the deponent. the army left the sick and marched into Jersey. The deponent with others having recovered [from inoculation] followed and joined the army again at Bonbrook [sic: Bound Brook] in Jersey. From this place the army marched on a report of the enemies having gone to the northward, two days march north till they arrived near Black river; when news arrived that the enemy was gone to the south. they then turned about and marched immediately to Brandywine where he was guard of the baggage waggons [presumably during the Battle of Brandywine, 11 Sep 1777]. was with the army and fought at the battle of Germantown [4 Oct 1777]; after which went with the army
to Valley Forge, where he the deponent was honourably discharged, having served faithfully two years the time for which he had enlisted. The Deponent further saith that having kept his discharge many years it finally wore out and has been lost. The deponent further saith that he is in reduced circumstances, and stands in need of his country’s assistance for support
