He was in the Battle of Germantown, PA, where the Americans were repulsed and retreated to Skippack. He was wounded in the left arm in this battle. His arm has been stiff ever since. Soon after this battle, on account of this wound, he was discharged from the service. He received credit for six months' service. He was in several skirmishes with the British along the Schuykill and other points. After his discharge, he went home and in October, 1778, he again volunteered at Hagerstown, MD as a private under Capt Ragan and he marched to Fredericktown, thence to Annapolis, where his company joined other forces. He remained at Annapolis two months as a guard. He was in no battle or engagement there during the two months. At the end of that time, he was discharged and went home.
