I, Ephraim Warren, a Citizen of the United States, now resident at Sunderburg in the County of Worcester in the State aforesaid, do on oath testify and declare, that in the War of the Revolution, on the first day of January in the year of our Lord, seventeen hundred and eighty four
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 twenty eighth day of October in the year, seventeen hundred and eighty three
as a private soldier against the common enemy, without any interrup- tion or absence: that I belonged to Capt. Bates' company a part of the time and a part of said time I was in Capt. Hastings' company in the South Massachusetts Regiment. Capt. Bates' company was in the seventh Massachusetts Regiment, commanded by Col. Brooks. I had a discharge which I now have and that I left the service on the said twenty eighth day of October 1783.
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 eighty years, and that I have had thirteen children, seven of which are now living
And I hereby relinquish all claims to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the United States, if any may be or hath been so allowed.
