I Richard Hines a Citizen of the United States
resident in the Town of [illegible]
in the County of Franklin in the State 
of Massachusetts on oath declare that
I belonged to the Army of the United States
in the revolutionary War. In
March 1777 I enlisted during the War
& continued in the service till Sept. 
1778, in the Company of Capt. Shaw in
the Regiment of Col. Israel Angel of 
the Rhode Island Line. I was then honourably discharged, but the Discharge
which I then rec’d. is lost, & I do not
know what has become of it. The reason
of my being discharged at that time was
that I had become disabled from doing
Duty in consequence of having the
small pox after I entered the service. 
I am wholly destitute of property, & for
Seven years past have been supported
[illegible] of the poor of the State of Massachusetts. And by reason of my reduced
circumstances in life I am in extreme
need of assistance from my Country
for support- Date the twenty third
day of April AD 1818-
