AD 1832 personally appeared before me the subscribed and
associate Justice of the Court of Common Pleas within
and for the State of New Hampshire, David Burbank
a resident of Deerfield in said County and State aged
eighty two years who is too infirm to attend court who being first duly sworn according
law, doth on his oath, make the following declaration;
the benefit of the provision made by the act

army of the  United States in the year 1775 in the
month of April or first of May as a private soldier
in the town of Brentwood in said county under Captain
Philip Tilton in a Regiment commanded by Colonel E.
Poor in the Continental line for the period of
eight months and served seven months of that time
Being out of health I did not serve the time out and
was discharged at the expiration of seven months.
I believe by the Captain of the Company viz. Tilton
but had not a discharge in writing, but I am not position
whether the discharge was from the Captain or Colonel
I have not now any discharge in writing. I was born
in Rowley in Massachusetts in the year 1750 and a record
of my age was made in the town of Rowley aforesaid as I
have been informed, but I have not in my possession any
record of my enlisted in the town of Brentwood
and marched to Winter Hill, where
the company was stationed in Massachusetts, & there
Page 5

I continued in the service & made forts & entrenchments
After I left the service as aforesaid, I returned to Brentwood aforesaid & continued to live in that town thirteen
years & then moved to this town Deerfield, where I have
lived ever since and where I now live. I am known
by several persons in this town, viz, Jacob Freese Jonathan
Court said Knowles & others, who know my character
for veracity - Jacob Webster was Lieutenant of the company
in which I served Joseph Cilley was a major in the
Regiment. Enoch Poor was Colonel & same was this
Lieutenant Colonel. I continued in the service till December in 1775 & their being sick, in consequence of which I
was discharged, was assisted to return home
