That he the said Moses Weymouth in the month of April 1775, enlisted as a Sergeant, in the Continental Army, for the term of eight months, under Capt. Jonathan Nowell in the Reg t commanded by Col. James Seammmons of the Massachusetts Line, & continued to do his duty in said Company & Reg t until the expiration of the above named term of eight months when he again enlisted as a Sergeant under the same Capt.

Sworn to and declared before me the day and year above said.
