The Declaration under Oath of Edward Webber formerly a Private Soldier engaged in the Service of the United States during the Revolutionary War, now a Citizen of the United States and resident of the City and County of New-York, respectfully sheweth,
THAT the said Edward Webber enlisted — sometime in the month of June 1779 2 d Regt. of Hampshire troops under the command of Col. Read in capt. McGregor company, to serve during the war, and remained in said Regt. for during one year when Deponent was transferred to Col. Scamperlee Regt. at West Point, where Deponent came down to Kingsbridge where the army landed and had a skirmish with the enemy. after said skirmish Deponent moved to the South and was at the capture of Lord Cornwallis when Deponent received two wounds in his left leg. Deponent also saith that he was up the Mohawk river against the Indians under the command of Col. Read, when Deponent returned to New Windsor where he received an honorable Discharge from under the hands of Genl. Washington in the year 1783, which Discharge Deponent lost at sea. Some years since
And the declaration further sheweth, that the said Edward Webber is now a citizen of the United States, resides in the city of New-York, and is, by reason of his reduced circumstances in life, in need of assistance from his country for support
