In the year 1775 in the month of February he enlisted in Captain Samuel Richards company in Col. John Starks Regiment in the New Hampshire line for one year and was discharged at New Jersey at the expiration of said term - that in the year 1777 in July he enlisted in Captain McConnels company in Colonel Stickneys Regiment and marched to Bennington, where in the battle fought near that place on the sixteenth of August he was wounded by a bullet passing through both his hips shattering the bones in its passage from which thirty pieces of bones were extracted. That he neglected to apply for a pension allthough many persons not so badly wounded were placed on the list of Pensioners - in 1779 he enlisted in the Massachusetts line for nine months and joined Col Jackson's Regiment from which he was drafted into the Artisiens under Capt Wright where he remained sixteen months.
The date of my original declaration in order to obtain a pension is the 7th of April 1818. the number of my pension certificate is 9262- I have received a Pension
And I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18th day of March, 1818; and that I have not since that time, by gift, sale or in any manner, disposed of my property, or any part thereof, with intent thereby so to diminish it, as to bring myself within the provision of an Act of Congress, entitled "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of 
 theUnited States in the Revolutionary War,” passed on the 18th day of March 1818; and that I have not, nor has any person in trust for me, any property or securities, contracts or debts, due to me; nor have I any income other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed, and by me subscribed. My occupation is that of a Ship Carpenter but in consequence of age and the wound I received at Bennington battle and from since having one of my arms and one of my legs broken, I am not able to perform one half of the labour at my occupation that I formerly could have done. I have in
[crossed out: in family residing with me] family a wife aged fifty eight years, a weakly person not able to support herself, and three daughters one of whom has been sick and under the care of the Doctor for the last two years
[crossed out: Their capacity to contribute to their support]

I Samuel Remic (Remick) of Chester in the County of Hillsborough and state of New Hampshire testify & say that in the summer of seventeen hundred & seventy seven I enlisted as a private soldier in Capt. Connels (McConnell) company and served under him in the memorable battle at Bennington, and on the 16th day of August in the same year received a musket ball in both my hips which severely wounded me - I was under the hands & in the case of skillful surgeons for more than five months - after extracting a number of bones, my wounds healed, but the effect has been such as to cause me much pain and render me unable to earn my own subsistence by manual labour - 
I am now in my sixty third year and my pain and weakness in my wounded parts increase with my age, and am now much less able to labour than I have been - 
I was in three campaigns during the Revolutionary war one before I was wounded and one after, and was honourably discharged - About twenty three years ago I made application to Congress for a pension, but was informed by Mr. Lear that there was no law then in force that would enable me to obtain it -

I am not on the pension list of this state nor of any of the United States - and the reason why I ['have' crossed out] never renewed my application till ['now' crossed out] eighteen hundred and eighteen, was because I never had learned that any provisions were made for cases like mine -
