Pension Record for James Slover Revolutionary War Pension S 921 "This depondent states that he was born on the twenty-ninth day of August in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and fifty-four in the Township and County aforesaid (North Brunswick Township, Middlesex County) and has a record of his age, and that he has never changed his residence. That upon the declaration of war, he attached himself to a militia company commanded by Capt. John Waglum, being a resident within the bounds thereof; that previous to the arrival of the enemy at Sandy Hook, the company met together for exercise and improvement, and that Peter Perrine was Lieutenant and John Gilliland, Ensign. When the British Army arrived at Sandy Hook, the company to which he belonged was mustered and marched to Perth Amboy; that they were there while the enemy were landing upon Staten Island and he thinks that he then performed one monthly duty. On their return the company was divided into three classes and were called out in rotation and that he performed his regular tours, along the eastern border of the state from Perth Amboy to Powles Hook,-different Captains were detailed for the several tours; recollects to have been out with Capt. Gulick and Capt. Dey and that the superior officers that he knew and who were there were, Cols Neilson, Taylor and Duychinck and Majors Egbert and Van Emburgh and that in addition to the regular duty performed he served on many expeditions and often in the night on alarms along the Raritan, st South Amboy and the borders of Monmouth. He is confident that up to the time the British Army came to New Brunswick, he performed at least three months of actual service. When the British Army took possession of New Brunswick this depondent resided about six miles south of that place, and very soon after a party of British dragoons came out, surrounded the house in which he, Asher Bysert and Daniel Slover were, and made them prisoners of war, and conducted them to New Brunswick and from thence they were sent with many others in a sloop to the city of New York and incarcerated in the 'sugar house', where they were confined closely, in a state of hunger and extreme privation, and where many died from want of the necessities of life, in this prison they remained for fourteen months, when they were exchanged. On his return he again joined his company under Waglum. The British Army was then in Philadelphia, again performed his regular tours of duty, until the enemy again invaded New Jersey. The militia were all called out and marched toward the Delaware River, until they met the advance of the British Army, he thinks near Mt. Holly in Burlington County and he recollects that he was under the command of Col. Neilson and Major Egbert and Major Emburgh. They then returned to the border of Monmouth County. There the memorable battle was found and that he was there and engaged during the whole conflict. The British being again in possession of New York, the militia were called out as before to perform duty along the eastern shore from Perth Amboy to Powles Hook. About this time, Col. Simcoe, made an incursion into the state of New Jersey as far as a place called Millstone and burned Somerset Courthouse situated there. On this day he was on duty, and with Thomas Stillwell and Joseph Cloyd were made prisoners with several others and conducted to New York and again confined in the 'sugar house', where he remained five months and was exchanged in the spring of 1780, having suffered greatly from the excessive cold of the memorable winter. 'On my return I attached myself to the same company and performed my regular tours of duty, when called upon, until the conclusion of the war'. Rate $62.22 per annum
