I Josiah Warren of New Boston in the county of Hillsborough and State of New Hampshire aged seventy two years declare and say That in the month of February in the year One Thousand seven hundred and seventy six, at said New Boston I enlisted as a private soldier in Capt. Daniel Wilkins Company in Col. Beedle's Regiment in the New Hampshire Line in the American Army to serve one year, and served said year in said Wilkins' Company - During the whole of said time of service I served in Canada and was taken a prisoner in the battle at a place called The Cedars, while engaged in the same. and after about fourteen days with other prisoners, under an article of Capitulation between the contending parties not to bear arms against the enemy for two months, on account of the Americans not having prisoners at that place sufficient for our exchange, I had liberty to return to my friends and was ordered to return at the expiration of said two months; I then returned and joined the army - at Mount Independence in the state of New York, where I served the remainder of the year of my enlistment for said year, and was then and there discharged by my Commanding Officer, without a written discharge, if my memory serves me right.

I further declare and say that I am in reduced circumstances and stand in need of relief and support from my country, that I have no real estate and all my personal property if sold would not amount in value to one hundred dollars and I am in- volved in debts far beyond all that I am worth. I have no way to support myself but by my labor, which is but small as I am very infirm being subject to the Rheumatic complaint for about two years last past, and the charity of friends - Josiah Warren Ap d 1st.
