Isaiah Hayward, aged sixty one years, born in Bridgewater in Massachusetts, a citizen of the U. States, now resident in Vassalborough in the District of Maine, upon oath testify
and declare, that in April 1775 I enlisted as a private soldier into the service of the war of the revolution against the common enemy, for the period of eight months, into the regiment commanded by Col. Bailey, of the Massachusetts troops, and regiment company commanded by Capt Lathrop. This period I fully served out. I then enlisted again immediately into the continental service of the U. States against the common enemy, for the term of one year, as a private soldier, to commence upon the expiration of
my first eight months, into the company commanded by Capt Elijah Crooker, and regiment commanded by the same Col. Bailey of the Massachusetts line under this
enlistment I served eleven months, and then by reason of lameness which happened to me in the army. I received at Tappan in New York in Novr 1776 a written and honorable discharge from the army signed by General Glover. The discharge is not now in my possession. I was
employed in the sign of Boston and afterwards was employed principally in the city of New York and between the and Peekskill. I am indigent, and in need of the County
of the government. And I do hereby relinquish all my claim to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the U. States, if any; but I am not to my knowledge
borne on any pension list whatever. I request that I may be put upon the pension list for the district of Maine.
