Nathaniel Wade a Citizen of the United States, now resident at Ipswich in the County of Essex in the State aforesaid, do on oath testify and declare, that in the War of the Revolution, on the first day of January, A D 1777.
I entered and was engaged in the land service of the United States on the continental establishment, and served accordingly from that time to the first day of February A D 1777.
as a Captain against the common enemy, without any interruption or absence: that I belonged to the Regiment commanded by Col. Moses Little in the Massachusetts line of the army, as may appear by my Commission herewith presented.
and that I left the service on the first of February aforesaid being then honourably discharged and that by reason of my reduced circumstances in life and poverty, I stand in need of assistance from my country for support, being now of the age of seventy years nearly; I served also as an Officer during the whole of the campaign of 1775 - as also during the years 1777 and 1778, but these services were not on the continental establishment, tho' in defence of American Liberty, but in the pay of the State of Massachusetts.
And I hereby relinquish all claim to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the United States, if any may be or hath been so allowed.
Nathaniel Wade
BE IT REMEMBERED, That on this sixth day of April in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and Eighteen Pursuant to a law of the United States, entitled, "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war," made and passed on the 18th of March, A. D. 1818, personally appeareth before me the Subscriber one of the Associate Judges of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas for the Middle Circuit within the State aforesaid, presiding pro hac vice
the abovenamed Nathaniel Wade and after due examination and caution to testify and declare the whole truth, he maketh oath to the declaration aforesaid, and subscribes the same in my presence; and, on examination duly made by me the said Judge, it appeareth to my satisfaction that the said declaration is true.
Wm Wetmore
Boston Sept 30. 1819. I now certify the evidence in this case, & that the transmission of the same to

to the war department hath been hitherto delayed, since the said 6 th day of April A.D. 1818 in order, to comply with the said declarant's dislike to disclose his situation & circumstan- ces, as well as to his desire to avoid the necessity of this application so long as he could & I further certify that on a full examina- tion by me had of all the evidence as to the facts stated in his said declaration, it appears to my satisfaction that he did perform all the services stated by him & that he was honorably discharged; also that at & from the time he made his declara- tion aforesaid to this day, he was & is in such reduced circumstances in life, as that he hath stood & doth stand in need of the assistance of his country for support, & that Asa Andrews Esquire a respectable ma- gistrate & Counsellor at Law & Collector of the United States for the port of Ipswich was duly authorized to make the examination & take the said evidence & that full con- fidence may be placed in his attestations. Witness my hand & the seal of the Court aforesaid as within affixed,
