I Elijah Reed of Dartmouth in the County of Bristol Mass'tts and a citizen of the United States and resident therein set forth and declare that I was a soldier in the war of the revolution of the continental establishment
 for more than nine months, that I am reduced
in my circumstances and stand in need of the assistance of my country for support, and are desirous of obtaining a pension under the late act of Congress of the 18th of March last, that I entered the service in 1777, for three years under Capt Amasa Soper and Col. Marshall's Regiment being the 10th Regiment in the
Massachusetts line - I enlisted again after the first three years service expired into the second
three year's service under Capt Smith, and Col.
Michael Jackson's Regiment in the Massachusetts line, and served out the three years and [till] after the peace and after the main part of the army was discharged, and had a discharge in writing, but I sent it to Boston by Holder Slocum, Representative of Dartmouth and he has mislaid it and I cannot
find it.
