I John Remington of Warwick in said County of Kent, a resident
Citizen of the United States, do hereby, for the purpose of
obtaining the benefit of an act of the Congress of the United States 
of America, entitled "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged

That I entered the Service in said war, against the common enemy,
in the month of April AD. 1775, in the capacity of a Sergeant,
in the company commanded by Captain Elijah Lewis, in the
Regiment under the command of Colonel James Mitchell
Varnum, in the Rhode Island line, and continued in said Company
and Regiment until the first Day of January AD 1777 during
which time I was raised to the rank and office of Ensign in said
Company. That immediately after this period, I was appointed
Lieutenant and Adjutant in the Regiment under the
command of Colonel Israel Angell in the Rhode Island line
and served in that capacity till about the middle of
November following; when at my own request I obtained
an honourable discharge from the public Service, which discharge
was granted to me and signed by Major General Putnam,
I further represent to your Honour, that owing to the frequent
and various changes of my residence since that period, and to
the common casualties of time and accident, the above
mentioned commissions and discharge have been lost. I
also represent to your Honour, that by reason of my reduced
circumstances in life, I have need of assistance from my
