James Wesson of the Massachusetts line, for the period of during the war, I served in the said regiment until February or March 1780 at which time I procured a three years man, who had served out his time as a substitute viz Elias Eggleston, for five hundred dollars currency and a suit of clothes. My substitute was accepted by my Col. and I then or March in February 1780 took my honorable discharge from the army at West Point. My discharge was signed by Col. James Wesson and by Col. Bailey commandant of the Brigade. I was in the retreat from New York in 1776, and in both the general battle at the taking of Burgoyne, and in various skirmishes with the enemy, also in the battle of Monmouth, and I wintered one winter at Valley Forge. I am indigent, and in need of the bounty of the government. And I do hereby relinquish every claim on my part to any pension heretofore allowed me by the bounty of the government or the laws of the U. States; but I am not to my knowledge borne on any pension list whatever. I request to be put upon the pension list for the District of Maine. My discharge, I have lost.
