I the subscriber, being Chief Justice of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas, for the Second Eastern Circuit of Massachusetts, embracing the Counties of Lincoln, Kennebec and Somerset, do hereby certify to your Honor, that William French , a citizen of the United States, now resident in Madison , in the said County of Somerset , in the District of Maine, on the twenty first 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. D. 1818, which declaration, and the other evidence produced by the said applicant, is hereunto annexed.

McMichael and regiment or detachment commanded by Major Parr and brigade under the command of Gen. Wayne, of the Pennsylvania line I fully served out the period of my enlistment - and re-enlisted at Tottoway in New Jersey in the month of July 1780, for the period of during the war, and into the same company regiment or detachment and Brigade, and upon the continental establishment against the common enemy and in the same Pennsylvania line - I served in said company & Regt. until June in 1782, and was then transferred into the company commanded by Capt. Pratt, and regiment by Col. Richard Butler of the same Pennsylvania line, I served until the Peace and then took my honorable and final discharge from the as a separate Army at Philadelphia July 1783. - My discharge I kept a number of years - but is not now in existence to my knowledge - I know of no officer or soldier that served with me, that it is in my power at this time produce, except the one who subscribes the annexed deposition - From my reduced circumstances in life I am in need of the Assistance of my Country for support - I do hereby relinquish all claim to any pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the United States if any, but I am not to my knowledge borne on any pension list whatever.
