Commonwealth of Massachusetts
To the Honorath the Secretary of the De
partment of War of the United States.

I the subscriber, Chief Justice of
Circuit Court of Common Pleas for the
second Eastern Circuit of Massachusetts
embracing the counties of Lincoln, Humber,
and Somerset, do hereby certify to your
Honor, that David Vickery, a citizen of the United States now
resident in Unity in said County of Kennebec, in the
District of Maine, on the seventh day of May A.D. 1818
made application to me to receive his declaration under
oath, and such other evidence as was in his power to
produce; and to transmit the same, and the proceedings
had thereon to your Honor, that he might be placed on
the pension list of the United States, agreeably to the provisions
of an act entitled "an act to provide for certain persons
engaged in the land and naval service of the United States
in the revolutionary war"" passed March 18. A.D.
1818, which declaration, and the other evidence more
by the said applicant, is hereunto annexed.

And I do further certify to your Honor
that after a careful examination of the said applicant,
and a full consideration of the evidence in the case, it
appears to me that the said applicant did serve as a
private soldier, in the war of the revolution, against
the common enemy, upon the continental establishment,
for more than nine months, as stated in the declaration
aforesaid; and that from his reduced circumstances, he
needs the assistance of his country for support
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my
hand, and caused the seal of the court in which I preside
to be hereunto affixed, this seventh day of May in
the year of our Lord, one thousand, eight hundred
and eighteen.
Nathan Weston Jr. Justice C. Court
C. Part & Eastern Circuit.
