State of Massachusetts - Worcester County

I, Andrew Brown, a citizen of the United States, now resident of Marlborough, in the county of Middlesex in the state aforesaid, do on oath testify & declare that in the War of the Revolution, sometime in the year 1775
I entered, and was engaged, in the land service of the United States on the Continental Establishment. And served accordingly from that time for the term of three years, being in Col. Clefs I was discharged at the end of three years as a common solider or private, against the common enemy without an interruption or absence. That I belonged to Capt. John Blanchard's company in the ninth Massachusetts Regiment, commanded by Col. James Wilson; and having served in the war aforesaid for the term of three years, I left the same service and received a discharge from said regiment. Which is lost and destroyed by time and accident, as I verily believe. And that by reason of my reduced circumstances in life and poverty, I stand in need of ajustance from my country for support, being now of the age of sixty-two years being very decrepit from age and having been severely wounded in action during said service, and having a wife to maintain, who is also a cripple, by reason of a broken bone. And I hereby release all former allowances made me by the United States, if any such there be for these services

Oliver Fisher Esquire,

Dear Sir. The bearer, Andrew Brown, was an old Revolutionary Solider. & I believe a faithful one, & can show the scar of a wound he received in action, if it were necessary, he is very poor & very decrepit, he a has a wife to maintain, who is also a cripple by reason of a broken bone. - He comes to apply for a pension, & I do not know why he is not as completely entitled to it as any man in the commonwealth. - Now Sir, if you will be so good as to introduce him at a proper hour, to the Honorable Judge Parker, or cause it to be done. It will be doing me a favor to a poor man, & will also gratify you very humble servant.

                                          Andrew Peters.

The above gentleman was a Col. int the Revolutionary War, is respectable man nearly ninety years of age, and for this reason, his declaration is not ___.
