I George Webber, a citizen of the United States, aged fifty eight years, born in Saco Maine, but now of Bowdoinham, Maine, upon oath testify and declare that in November 1777 I enlisted as a private soldier, but soon afterward as a sergeant, in the war of the revolution against the common enemy, for the period of three years upon the continental establishment in Capt. Wheelwright's company and Col. Tupper's regiment of the Massachusetts line. This period I fully serve out and then enlisted as a substitute for John Kilborn for during the war, into the same company and regiment. I served until June 1783 and then took my final and honorable discharge from the army at New Windsor (illegible) above West Point, signed by General Washington. My discharge I kept many years but it is now lost, and not to my knowledge in existence. I was in the battle of Monmouth and at Kings Bridge. From my reduced circumstances I am in need of assistance from my country for support. And I do hereby relinquish all my claim to every pension hereto fore allowed me by the laws of the U. States, if any, but I am not to my knowledge born on any pension list whatever. I request that I may be placed upon the pension list for the District of Maine.
