Dauphin County
State of Pennsylvania

Be it remembered that on the sixth day of April A.D. One thousand eight hundred and eighteen before me Obed [iah] Fahnestock, one of the Judges of the Court of Common pleas in and for the County of Dauphin in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania personally appeared James Hagerman of the County of Cumberland in the said Commonwealth and a resident Citizen of the United States and being duly sworn according to Law did declare and say that he entered into the army of the United States
raised for the defence [sic] of American liberty and for repelling every hostile invasion thereof and enlisted in the year 1777 in Captain Boyd's company of Infantry attached to the third regiment Pennsylvania troops commanded by Col. Craig; that he served as a private, in the revolutionary war from and after the time of his enlistment until the close of the war. That he fought in the Battles of Brandywine,  Germantown, Monmouth and Springfield. That at the close of the war he received an honorable discharge which he has lost or mislaid. That he contracted while in the service of his country, a disease in his thigh which has nearly destroyed the use of one of his legs, that he is old and helpless and from his reduced circumstances needs the assistance of his Country for Support, and that he hath no  pension heretofore allowed him by the laws of the United States to his knowledge, and if any such exists, he doth hereby fully and entirely release the same to the United States,

James Hagerman (his mark)
