I Phillip Blakeslee of Cheshire in the County in NewHaven State of Connecticut, solemnly swear that  in the year 1780 or 1781 I enlisted
as a soldier, for the term of three years into the army of the United States, under Capt. Ephraim Chamberlain, in Col Heman Swift's Regiment, and Brigade of Jedh Huntington, in the Connecticut line. I served faithfully, from the time of my enlistment, to the close of the war, and was honorably discharged.

the assistance of my Country for support. I therefore pray, that I may be placed on the pension List of the United States, agreeable to the provisions of an act of the Congress of the United States, entitled "An Act
