Page 13

Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Secretary's Office, June 27th. 1833.

I hereby Certify, That, from an examination of the Books and Documents, relating to Military Services in the War of the Revolution, which remain in this Department, it appears that 
the name of Daniel Small, as a Private, is borne on a Pay-Roll of Capt. Reuben Dyer's Company, raised for an expedition against St. John's, Province of Nova-Scotia, and continued in the service at and for the defense of Machias, in 1777, where he engaged July 4th, and was discharged Novr. 25th. and was allowed, for service and travel, four months and twenty-two days.---

[There is great reason to conclude that this service was sin 1776, as others on the same roll have sworn to that effect, and have obtained as under the year 1776,- and unless it be thus considered, it will clash seriously with other rolls.]

Daniel Small's name, as a Private, is further borne on a Muster-Roll of Capt. Reuben Dyer's Company, received between Mount Desert and Machias, for an expedition against St. Johns,- where he is stated to have enlisted May 29, and was discharged July 233, [no date of year] and is allowed one month and twenty four days service.

Daniel Small's name is found also on a Muster-Roll of the party drafted out of the Militia 

[over.

under the command of Capt. John Hall to Machias, June 24, 1777,- where he enlisted June 24, and was discharged June 30,- and is allowed for six Day's service.

Daniel Small's name is further found on a Pay-Roll of Capt. Reuben Dyer's Company, in Col. Benjamin Foster's Regiment, raised on an Alarm for the defense of Machias, in 1777,- where he marched September 16th, and was discharged September 24th,- and was allowed eight days' service.

[unclear marks]    The said Daniel Small claims for further service, under Capt. William Kay, and also under Capt. Josiah Sawyer, the rolls for which are not found in this Office.
