I Agur Hyde of Huntington in the County of Fairfield and State of Connecticut do declare under oath that I am a native citizen of said State & have ever been a resident citizen of the United States, and am now sixty two years of age, that in the latter part of the month of December AD. 1775 or the first of January AD. 1776 I enlisted for one year as a private soldier in the company commanded by Capt Edward Shipman late of Saybrook (now deceased) in the Regiment commanded by Col. Charles Webb late of Stamford (now deceased) in the continental army & war of the Revolution, and served faithfully during the whole year following in said company & regiment, and at the end of that period, viz. in January 1777, at the request of General Geo. Washington, I among others continued in said service in the same company & Regiment about six weeks longer, when I was honorably dismissed from said army, but without any written discharge, as was the case with many others at that time--that for said years service I received my pay before I left the [said] army & for the time I served as a volunteer as aforesaid. I received my pay of Capt William Hull at Derby in said State--That during my said service I was engaged in several battles and skirmishes, at Harlaem-heights, White-plains, on Long-Island, and at Trenton & Princetown--That I am very poor, and by reason of my reduced circumstances in life, I am in good need of the assistance of my counter for support and therefore make this application to the Hon'ble Secretary of the Department of War for a pension under the Act of the Congress of the United States
