I Thomas Twitchell a Citizen of the United States, now resident at Roxborough in the County of Worcester in the State aforesaid, do on oath testify and declare, that in the War of the Revolution, on the 10 of May AD 1777

and that I left the service on the 10th of May AD 1780
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 60 years — having served as above for 3 years in the army of the United States
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.
