I Timothy Hibbard of lawful age depose and say that sometime in the month of March  or April in the year 1777 Jacob Bixby then of Thompson in the County of Windham and State of Connecticut now residing in Lime in the County of Grafton and State of New Hampshire enlisted as a private soldier in the Service of the United States in the Company of Captain Josiah Child and Regiment of Philip B. Bradley about the same time said Bixby enlisted as aforesaid    I also enlisted in the same company said Bixby and myself both enlisted for the term of three years, and he and myself served in said Company by virtue of said enlistment for the course of three years at the end of which time we were discharged. if I rightly recollect I was discharged a few days before said Bixby for the reason I enlisted a few days before him - and when discharged I received  written discharge and supposed said Bixby did also, and I am fully satisfied said Bixby was honorably discharged at the end of his term of enlistment -
