I Barton Pollard aged sixty one years, born in Plaistow in NewHampshire, a citizen of the United States now resident in Fairfax in the District of Maine, upon oath declare that in April 1775 I enlisted as a private soldier into the continental service of the U States for eight months which time I fully served out, and then December 1775, I again enlisted as a private soldier into the continental service of the U. States, against the common enemy, in the company commanded by Capt
Sherman, and regiment commanded by Col. Baldwin of the Massachusetts line.  From this time, under this [illegible] I served in the army, until the 25th of December 1776 when I was taken prisoner by the enemy being in a scouting party, and was carried into the city of New York, where I remained until September 1777 when I made my escape fro the enemy.  In the fall of 1777 or possibly in December 1777 I enlisted for during the war as a private soldier [orderly sergeant written in], into the continental service of the U States against the common enemy, for the period of during the war.  The first company I was  mustered into under this enlistment, was commanded by Capt John Van Augh of New Jersey and the regiment commanded by Col Aaron Ogden of the New Jersey line in which regiment I served until the year 1780, when being desirous of getting into the New Hampshire line Col. Harry Dearborn exchanged a man with Col. Ogden for me and I accordingly entered Col. Dearborn's regiment being the third regiment of the New Hampshire line.  When Dearborn's regiment was broken up, I was transferred to Col. George Read's regiment being the second of the New Hampshire line.  I served in the army until June 1783, when I took my honorable discharge at New Burgh, New York  The discharge I have lost. I was in the battle at Bunker Hill and wintered one winter at Valley Forge.  I am indigent and in need of the county of the government   An I do hereby relinquish all my claim to every pension, heretofore allowed me by the laws of the U. States; but I am not to my knowledge [illegible] any pension list whatever.  I request to put on the pension list for Maine.
