Sir, 
I send herewith a statement of Samuel Barron, with his Certificate. - If I have not done this in proper form please direct me. 
In preparing the papers of some of the applicants for a pension I am sometimes at a loss as to the proof required, and this arises from doubts as to the class under which the service falls. 
The eight months service 1775 under what class and have you Rolls?
The service of 6 Mo. performed at Rhode Island in 1777 what class: Many soldiers went from this State. 
The service at Ticonderoga in 1776. 
If not improper I should be greatly oblidged by information
Very respectfully your Ob't Serv't 
/s/Edmund Parker

I Samuel Barron of Merrimack in the County of Hillsborough and State of New Hampshire aged Seventy five years, being duly sworn, do make the following statement in pursuance of the regulations of the War Department of June 27th 1832, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by act of Congress passed June 7th 1832 - that in the forepart of May 1775 I enlisted for the term of eight months in Capt. John Moor's Company in Col. Stark's Regiment, and served out said time. 
On the first of January 1776 I again enlisted for a year in Capt. Butler's Company in Col. John Nixon's Regiment in the Massachusetts line, and served out said time, and about two months more. I afterwards enlisted in the three years service in Capt. Emerson's Company of Infantry in  Col. Joseph Cilley's Regiment in the New-Hampshire line, and after serving said time out was discharged at West Point May 20, 1780. and received a written discharge from Col. Cilley. 
I applied for a Pension under the act of March 18, 1818 and sent said discharge to the War Office with my declaration. I was placed on the Pension Roll and my Certificate is Dated December 3d 1819. and numbered 16.061. I was afterwards struck from the Roll on account of my property - or rather I should say I made no application under the act of May 1820 on account of my property. I lived in Merrimack aforesaid when I first applied and still reside there.
