Page 5

I Samuel Stone of Caremont in the County of Cheshire and state of Newhampshire being a Citizen of the United States on oath declare that I served as a private soldier in the army employed in the War of the Revolution and on the Continental establishment as follows Viz — that I enlisted in the month of March 1777 into a Regiment commanded by Col. Alexander Seammell and was immediately transferred to the first Regiment of United States troops in the Newhampshire line commanded by Col. Jospeh Cilley that according* to my best recollection I was mustered in Capt. Jason Wait's company in said regiment, but as I was attached to the Commissary department and was only called on to do duty in the field on extraordinary occasions and then did it sometimes in one and sometimes in another I cannot state for certainty in what company of said regiment I was enrolled that year — that in the spring of the year 1778 I went to Valley Forge and did duty in the comopany of Capt. William Scott in said first Newhampshire Regiment that about the first of June the same year I was honorably discharged by Col. Cilley after having been in said service even since my said enlistment — that Col. Cilley gave me written evidence of said discharge but that I have since lost it out of my possession —  that I was discharged on account of an injury I had received in my eyes by the explosion of powder — and that from my reduced circumstances I need t he assistance of my Country for support.

I herewith enclose you the papers in the case of Sarah Pulling which I believe unbiases all the evidence required.

I also include the papers of Hannah Stone widow of Samuel Stone, who was a Pensioner under the Act of 1818 on t he New Hampshire Agency, who as I know went from here to the state of New York about the year 1821 or 2 and left his family here where his widow & some of his children have always resided. It is supposed that his Pension was transferred to that State as he never returned but there died  he left that I can [illegible] there he took with him his youngest son James L. Stone who informed his mother of his father's death by letter from which she says her daughter Katharin made made the record on the leaf of her family Bible at that time which I herewith enclose - I have made diligent search for the letter which we cannot find. I have also wrote to individuals in the Town of Hector Tompkins County NY where it is supposed he died but cannot learn of any person who witnessed his death, or had any knowledge of him then. The death of James L. - the imperfect recollection of the old lady renders is difficult
