I John Phillips now of Danville, State of Vermont, County of Caledonia, late of New York aged 58 years testify declare and say that some time in the month of March in the year 1777, I enlisted into the service of the United States in the Revolutionary War for three years but was returned during the War. I enlisted under Capt. Benjamin Stone and joined the third New Hampshire Regt. Com'd [Commanded] by Col. [Alexander] Scammell and if I mistake not in the year 1778 Col. Scammell was taken for Aide to Gen'l Washington and the Reg't was Commanded by Col. [Henry] Dearborn. I joined the Army at Ticonderoga and was in the retreat before Burgoyne until Gen'l Gates met us and in the Battle of 9th [or 19th] of Sept. I was wounded in the boddy [body] with a musket ball and was in the hospital at Albany and Schenectady until I recovered and joined the Army at Valle [Valley] Forge and in the year of 1778 at the White Plains in a skirmish and rec'd [received] a wound in my right knee with a Bayonet and in the year 1782 I was wounded in my head and shoulder by a blow with the breech of a gun and the hilt of a Bayonet near Pines Bridge in the State of New York where and when I was taken prisoner and confined about 4 months in the city of New York and then exchanged and joined the Army and continued until the end of the War and further state I am in reduced circumstances and need the assistance of my Country for Support and that I am a Citizen of the United States.
I further state that I am an Invalid Pensioner of the United States at $4 per month which Certificate I was said on to be given up if I am placed on the list under the late Act of Congress of the 18th of March 1818 at the rate of $8 per month. I also state that I made a declaration some time last year in the City of New York before Judge Riker Lawrence & rec'd no retainer proving that it was (illegible) or was not done right. I make this second declaration.
