Barnum of Deerfield and served eight months at the island of New Castle, New Hampshire while there frequently saw John Grant in New Castle, Seavey's Island and The Pines, but as this occurred sixty years ago and he never expected to be called upon to say how long Grant served he can not tell definitely. "He was a remarkable strong, muscular man having a firm constitution, enjoyed good health, liked a military life; and soldiers, especially such soldiers, then, were in great demand. While he was in the service at New Castle Samuel Davis, now living at Epsom, and about my age, lived with his family in Greenland, to do his labor for him"; that Grant served also in 1777 in Burgoyne's campaign, as was generally believed at the time; that during Grant's lifetime he (deponent) thought of applying for a pension but Grant told me his own application had failed as service was considered Militia.

Cilley and after a year was put in the ranks and kept with the army that retreated before Burgoyne, until it became strong enough to defeat him; "In the last great battle that preceded the surrender of Burgoyne I was desperately wounded and left for dead with the dead on the field; but some time after when a detachment of our army were burying the dead, Lieut. Wilkins, a New Hampshire officer, discovered signs of life in me, when I was taken from the field of battle and carried to the hospital at Albany, where I was a patient, and at Schenectady more than a year.
