At a Special Session of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas, for the Western Circuit, began and holden at Greenfield, within and for the County of Franklin, on the second Monday the tenth day of July  November , in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and twenty, et de die in diem to the seventh  fifteenth day of the same month,
P ERSONALLY appeared in open Court, being a Court of Record, within and for said County of Franklin, established as such by the Constitution and Laws of said Commonwealth, Wm C
Wiswall aged Sixty six years, resident in Marwick in said County, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath, declare that he served in the
Revolutionary War as follows: I entered the service of the United States as a Soldier in the first years service, so called in Capt. Elijah Porse's company in Col. John Grighton's Regiment. I then continued service in the same until my enlistment had expired - I again entered the service to serve for the term of three years, I believe in February 1777 - in Capt. Nathan Kirt's company in Col. James Mason's Regiment in the Massachusetts Line where I served until a short time after the battle of Monmouth when I was transferred into Col. Michael Jackson's Regiment in the same Line where I continued until June 1783 when I was discharged at a place called New Windsor near West Point -
I am by occupation a Sailor but by bodily infirmities I am disabled from doing much labor, being constantly troubled with a pain in my side and back caused while in the army by wading the Schookill River soon after the taking of Burgoyne and then taking a severe cold.
My certificate is numbered as I believe 8,093 but am unable to determine certainly as I entrusted it to Judge Parker of New Hampshire to draw my money at Portsmouth from whom it was stolen and I have never recovered it. My family consists of my wife Sarah aged 55 years and my daughter Hannah aged twelve years -

and I do solemnly swear, that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18th day of March, 1818 ; and that I have not, since that time, by gift, sale, or in any manner, disposed of my property, or any part thereof, with intent thereby so to diminish it, as to bring myself within the provisions of an Act of Congress, entitled " An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States, in the Revolutionary War," passed on the 18th day of March, 1818 ; and that I have not, nor has any person in trust for me, any property or securities, contracts or debts, due to me, nor have I any income, other than what is contained in the Schedule hereto annexed, and by me subscribed.
