Mass.
Act 7. July 38

The Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is hereby requested to furnish evidence from the Rolls in his Office of the service of my late Isaac Wade in the Army of the Revolutionary War.
He was a resident of the Town of Pembroke in the County of Plymouth in said Commonwealth, and performed several terms of Military duty as a drummer during the continuance of said War. The particulars of which is almost obliterated from my memory, in the manner he used to relate them in my hearing. Said Isaac Wade was a Drummer, as I have always understood during some of the terms of Military duty he performed during the continuance of the War of the Revolution; but I cannot name his Officers, or the duration of his service, and I must rely on the evidence afforded by the Revolutionary Rolls & Records in the Secretaries Office of this Commonwealth, for the particulars of said Isaac Wades services.
I am now _____ years old, and my memory does not enable me to state the late _____ services more than above stated.
Witness my hand at Hanson, September 1845.
