On 30 July 1832, James Deneen filed an application and was granted a pension for his Revolutionary War Service. His sworn statement of that date in the Court of Common Pleas for Butler Co. follows: "That in the year 1769 he volunteered as a Minute Man in the company commanded by Capt.Thomas Jones of Hunterdon Co.,NJ which said company formed a part of a regiment commanded by Col. Taylor of the same county--that as a member of this company he was on an expedition from said county to Amboy(sic) and from there to Staten Island which lasted only 16 days--that afterwards he belonged to Capt. Hazlett's company also of Hunterdon Co. under whom he served on an expedition to Elizabethtown, NY--at which place he was detained one month--after which he was dismissed-that afterwards he was again called upon to service in the militia of said state under Lt. Bray also of the same county by who he was marched to Brumbrook (sic) where he remained for a period of one month after which he was again discharged--that he was again called out under said Capt. Bray and was under (General or George) Maxfield by whom the forces under said Maxfield command were marched to a post on Raritan River." "...states he was born on the 11th day of Nov. 1755 in the County of Hunterdon, State of New Jersey."
