That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated. He enlisted on the 30th day of March 1775 into a Company commanded by Capt. Stephen Clark of Eppiny  moses Barnard of Benfield being the Lieutenant - for the term of four months, - marched to Portsmouth in New Hampshire and was stationed there a short time, but the principal part of the term at Great Island in the neighborhood of Portsmouth, where he was employed in building a fort and in guarding the harbor, He then served out
Page 5

the full term of his enlistment and at the expiration thereof was regularly discharged. Immediately on being discharged he again enlisted into the company commanded by Capt. Nathaniel Brown of Poplin for the term of two months. He believes that Barnard was a Lieutenant in this company also, and Akeman Ensign - He was marched to winter Hill near Boston and served out his full time there, building a fort and a Bombproof and in the ordinary duty of a soldier. At the end of the two months he was regularly discharged. He immediately enlisted again into the company commanded by Camp Daniel Moore of Deerfield for the term of three months and continued at Winter Hill employed as above mentioned till his then three months expired when he was regularly discharged. He believes that Trye was the Lieutenant of Moore's company and one Morse the Ensign. He recollects that the Ensigns ankle was broke in wrestling with Capt. Hutchins and he was laid up several weeks in consequence of it. He believes that Col Stark commanded the
Page 6

Regiment of which Brown's and Moore's companies were part. Immediately on being discharged from Moore's company he enlisted into the company commanded by Capt. James Sinclair of Col. Waldrons regiment, for two months, and continued in the service at Winter Hill during that period and at the expiration thereof was regularly discharged. - Some of the time while at Winter Hill he was stationed in the house of one Gemple, a tory who had fled to the British. He recollects of serving General Washington and General Putnam at Winter Hill and many other officers. At the expiration of his last term of service he returned home to Raymond - having been absent and in the service very nearly or quite a year. He is not certain on what day of March (he believes it was in March) that his last term expired but he was in the service when the British evacuated Boston. He is now aged and infirm and in some measure forgetful, and in consequence thereof he may be mistaken as to the names of some of the officers of the companies to which he belonged - but he feels confident that he served under the
Page 7

four enlistments above mentioned ther full terms therein stated - with Eleven months served. He was born in Hawthe while his parents were there on a visit Sept 22, 1759 as he has been informed and believes. - He has no record of his age, but supposes there may be one on the Town book - He lived in Raymond aforesaid when called into the service and has lived there since he left the service. - He was not drafted, but in all cases voluntarily enlisted - He recollects Captains Rieid and Hutchins besides the Captains under whom he served. - He never received any written discharge that he recollects - He is known to (illegible) Blake Eng. who until within a few years that has always resided in Raymond - with Jonathan Batchelder of Raymond with Samuel Haley  of Epping adjoining Raymond - and with the inhabitants of Raymond generally - most of whom he believes will testify as to his character for veracity and their belief of his services as a soldier of the revolution  He hereby relinquishes every claim  whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any agency in any State.
