I Daniel Barker of Exeter in the County of Penobscot age sixty four do hereby testify and say that on or about the first of January 1776 I inlisted into the Continental service in Capt Isaac Sherman's company. Col Baldwins Regt and Putmans brigade (according to my recollection) for one year: I joined my Regt at Fish Kills: marched to Kings Ferry and Fishkill, where I was discharged on or about the first of January 1777. Having served out my time of one year: I am now under reduced circumstances and need the assistance of my country for support: I never had a written discharge; not had any of our Company: In a previous affidavit of a similar time and date I stated from my best recollection that I inlisted in the month of September 1776. I have since been into the State of N. Hampshire, where I have seen some of the soldiers belonging to this same Company and who have since been placed in the Pension Dist, whose depositions I now invoke and find I was incorrect in my former statement and now make my affidavit as corrected by such information as I have collected from two of my fellow soldiers.
