I, Nancy Neal a daughter 
and only heir at law to Henry Durgin deceased, do upon oath testify and declare, that to the best of my knowledge and belief, Henry Durgin
       aforesaid, about, or in the year 1777 entered, or enlisted into the service of the United States, for the term of "During the War:" and that he continued in the service aforesaid, until the close of the same, when he received an honorable discharge at the termination thereof, from the          Regiment of the New Hampshire line commanded by Colonel George Reed and when he was a Private I further testify & say that my said Father, Henry Durgin,      departed this life at Durham in said County of Strafford as near as I can recollect forty years since,
I further declare, that I have never received a warrant for the Bounty Land promised to Henry Durgin aforesaid, on the part of the United States, nor do I believe he ever received it, or transferred his claim to it in any manner whatsoever:
Therefore, KNOW All Men By these Presents, that I Nancy Neal aforesaid, do hereby constitute and appoint Reuben Baldwin of Freehold in the State of New York my true and lawful attorney, for me and in my name to demand and receive from the Secretary of War of the United States, a Warrant for the quantity of Bounty Land due me as only heir at law of Henry Durgin aforesaid.
