That he served in that Company one year & then enter- ed that of Captain Sumner which he served until January 1780 when he was discharged at the Village nearly opposite West Point - but that his dis- charge is now lost or mislaid so that he cannot produce it He further states that he is wholly destitute of property unable from weakness & infirmity to labor and has for some time been de- pendent on his friends for support but who are illly able to afford it - He also produced as a witness Thomas Whipple Junior who being sworn confirms the above statement of Thomas Whipple as to his means of support - From which it appears to my satisfaction that the said Thomas Whipple did serve the United States in the revolutionary war against the Common Enemy for three years as a- bove stated and that by reason of his reduced circumstances in life he is in actual need of assistance from his Coun- try for support Done in pursuance of the act of Congress of the United States entitled "an act
