day of April
I Joseph Fuller of Sandwich in the County of
Barnstable Mass citizen of the United States
aged sixty years set forth and declare, that I
entered into the service in the war of the Revolution in Boston in the year 1777 after the capture of Gen'l Burgoyne into Capt. John Langdon's company and Col. H. Jackson's Regiment then the 16th in the Massachusetts line for during the war and continued till the close of it and was regularly and honorably discharged under the hands Gen'l Washington with two badges of merit. My discharge is now at Boston having been left there for the purpose of obtaining my land. I have
sent for it, and if I can obtain it will forward
it. I am reduced in my circumstances and
stand in need of the assistance of my country for support. I was in the battle of Monmouth under General Lee in a party of light Infantry. I
was also in the skirmishes on Rhode Island and
was at White plains. I was discharged at New
Windsor in the 8th June 1783 in New York and
was then in Capt Thomas Hunt's Company & Col Greaton's Regiment being the 9th in the Massachusetts Line.-

Fish and that they were both buried the same day that I attended his funeral as Sexton, that her tomb stone dates her death August 23d 1846; - and I have no doubt that a mistake was made in the Town Books and that there never was any other Joseph Fuller to my knowledge who was a pensioner-
