To the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the United States of America 
Respectfully represents John 
Putney of Sutton in the County of Merrimac 
and State of New Hampshire that on the 
first of April 1776 he enlisted into the 
regular service of the Revolution for the time 
of nine months under Lieut. Winfield in 
Capt. Timothy Clement’s and Col. Nicholas Gilman’s Regiment in the New Hampshire 
line of Continental troops and fully served 
out said term and was honorably discharged.
That in 1777 he volunteered under Genl. Stark and served two months in which time he was in the battle of Bennington, for all which he never received any compensation. Your petitioner further states, that by his Industry and economy he has, until within a few years, been able to sustain himself with a comfortable support; but by reason of old age and other infirmities, he had now become poor and unable to support himself by his own means.—
He therefore prays that Congress would consider his hard case and grant him some of that relief which it has so liberally dealt out and continues to afford to others, in like cases. He prays that he may be placed on the Pension Roll and in duty bound will pray.
