To the Honorable the Secretary of the Department of War of the United States.
I the subscriber, being a Judge of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas, for the Second Eastern Circuit of Massachusetts, comprising the Counties of Lincoln, Kennebec and Somerset, do hereby certify to your Honor, that Jesse Vose , a citizen of the United States, now resident in Framington , in the said County of Kennebec , in the District of Maine, on the twenty second day of April , A. D. 1818, made application to me to receive his declaration under oath, and such other evidence, as was in his power to produce; and to transmit the same, and the proceedings had thereon, to your Honor; that he might be placed on the pension list of the United States, agreeably to the provisions of an Act, entitled "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary war," passed March 18, A.

I Jesse Rose of Farmington in the county of Kennebec, and District of Maine, in the seventy seventh year of my age, a resident citizen of the United States, desiring to obtain the provision made by the law 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" and to be placed on the pension list for the District of Maine, do on oath testify & declare; That I was born in the town of Milton in the State of Massachusetts, that at Dorchester in the State of Massachusetts, in the latter part of the month of April, Anno Domini 1775, I enlisted, as a soldier in Capt. Thomas Pierce's Company of Artillery, for the term of eight months, in the Massachusetts troops, or line, on the Continental establishment, as I consider it, in the war of the revolution, that I faithfully served out the said time of eight months; and at the end of said term of eight months, at Brookline in the State of Massachusetts, I enlisted again as a soldier in Capt. Thomas Pierce's Company of Artillery for the term of one year; that I faithfully served for the term of three months and then my brother procured my discharge on account of my bodily inability to perform service; the discharge I have not in my possession, and do not know what has become of it, as I made no account of it; in June 1776 I enlisted again, as a soldier, in Capt. Draper Company, at the town of Milton, in the State of Massachusetts, for the term of five months; that I faithfully served out said term of five months, in Capt. Draper's Company, at Ticonderoga, the regiment I do not recollect; I that before me

I enlisted again as a Sargeant at Ticonderoga, in the month of November 1776, as near as I can remember, in Capt. Haines Company, in the 13 regiment commanded by Col. Wigglesworth, Regiment, for during the war, in the Continental establishment, I faithfully served during the war, and was at the taking of Burgoyne, & at the battle of Monmouth, etc. and was honorably discharged at or near New Windsor in the State of New York, in the month of June, as near as I can remember, in the year 1783. I faithfully served in the war of the revolution, on the continental establishment as I consider it, from the last of April 1775 to June 1783, except about two months, and was honorably discharged at the end. I kept my discharge seven or eight years, and then, being in poor and necessitous circumstances, sold it to Doctor Williams of Waterville in the district of Maine, for eight dollars. Doct. Williams has been dead twenty years or more, and I do not know where to find it, as his children are dispersed abroad. I never was a man of any considerable property, always obtaining my living by my bodily labor, in the business of a house-wright, and for fifteen years last past have in a great measure been supported upon the charity of my fellow citizens. After my enlistment at Ticonderoga, I was a while in the

13 th regiment commanded by Col. Wigglesworth; afterwards I served in the 6 th regiment, I do not remember who commanded it. I am now, by reason of my reduced circumstances in life, in need of assistance from my country for support. Jesse Vose
