Oghwage, [July] 29th., 1779
I beg leave to acquaint you, that I arrived last night from Minisink, and was a gooddeal disappointed that I could not get into that place at the time I wished to do, alittle before day -- instead of which, I did not arrive till noon when all the Cattle wasin the woods, so that we could get but a few of them. We have burned all theSettlement called Minisink, one Fort excepted, round which we lay before about anhour, and had one man killed and one wounded: we destroyed several small stockadeForts. and took 4 scalps and 3 prisoners, but did not in the least injure women orChildren. The reason that we could not take more of them was owing to the manyForts about the place, into which they were always ready to run like Ground Hogs.I left this place about 8 o'clock the next day and marched 15 miles. There are tworoads, one through the woods, the other alongside of the river. We were coming upthis road next morning, and I sent two Men to examine the other, the only way thatthe rebels could come to attack us: those men found the Enemy's path not far fromour Camp, and discovered that they had got before, to lay in ambush: the two rascalswere afraid, when they saw the path, and did not return to inform us, so that therebels had fair play at us. They fired on the Front of our people, when crossing theriver. I was then about 400 yards in the rear. As soon as the firing began, Iimmediately marched up a hill on their rear with 40 Men, and came round on theirBacks -- the rest of my Men were all scattered on the other side: however, the rebelssoon retreated, and I pursued them until they stopped upon a rocky Hill, round whichwe were employed, and very busy, near four hours before we could drive them out.We have taken 40 odd Scalps, and one prisoner, a Captain. I suppose the Enemyhave lost near half of their Men, and most of their officers: they all belonged to theMilitia, and were about 150 in number. I am informed by the prisoners that theKing's Troops had taken a post below the Highlands on the North river called King'sFerry, in which were 50 Men. I had built a Fort on each side of the river, that afterthis General Clinton sent a part of his Army into New England, took several Towns,and destroyed a great deal of Stores, &c. That General Washington in the meantimesent part of his Army in the Night, and surprised one of his Forts, in which 500 Menwere taken prisoners: this affair happened sometime ago. The Night after we leftMinisink, I received advice that General Clinton, at the Head of a great Army, wascoming up the North river, and had driven General Washington and his army beforehim and obliged him to retreat suddenly up the River. This News I received from theRebels, who also said the Country was extremely alarmed. I find the Enemy certainlyintends an expedition into the Indian Country, and have built strong Forts. By thelast Accounts they were at Wyoming: perhaps by this time they may be at Shimonk,where I have sent my party to remain till I join them. I am now getting off, with 8Men, to the Mohawk River, in order to discover the Enemy's motions. In the lastSkirmish we had 3 Men killed and 10 wounded.

Michael was applying under the Act of 1818, which required a minimum of nine months service in the Continental Army. Unfortunately, Captain Christian Getman's [his commission reads Christian Kitman] Rangers were "State Troops", not Continental's and thus his application would have been rejected. The Act of 1818 was amended in 1820, to state that the veteran must be, for all intents and purposes, a "pauper", thus we are privilidged to an inventory of Michael's earthly estate. George Staley in in his Revolutionary War Pension Application under the Act of 1832, states that he had hired Michael once as his substitute and Michael Fuller is long since dead. [Copies of the original application are in the Courtland County, New York Clerk�s Office. Copies of his pension application were provided by Miss Christine Gregg of State College, Pennsylvania].
