of my recollection I inlisted into the United States Service in the

McGregor in a Regiment commanded by Lt. Col. Comm. George Reid
of the New Hampshire line of the Revolutionary Army and that I continued in the army in actual service against the common enemy
until peace took place. Having fulfiled my engement [engagement] was discharged
which discharge the length of time I have lost. And I do further
say that by reason of my reduced circumstances in life stand in
need of assistance from my country for support.
