I Isaac Wescot of Nottingham in the County of Rockingham and State of New Hampshire Labourer Aged Sifty three Years depose, and say that in the year 1782 in the Month of April I resided at Scarborough in the County of Cumberland in the District of Maine in the common wealth of Massachusetts that I then and there enlisted as a private soldier in the Army of the United States engaged in the war of the Revolution, For three Years against Great Britain, that I was attached to Captain Daniel Sunts company in the tenth Massachu- setts Regiment commanded by Col o Tupper. that I joined said Regiment at Nelsons point in the State of New York where the Regiment was quartered during the Spring of 1782. when said Regiment crossed the River to West point where said Regiment was quartered during the summer of the same year, and from thence in the autumn of the same year said Regiment was marched to a place called New Windsor. when I was transferred to Colonel Joseph Vose's Regiment being the first Regiment in the Massachusetts line, where I continued to serve until the Month of May 1783 when I received a furlough and returned again to my home in the District of Maine, my furlough extending untill I should be called for to join the Army again which never was the case. But in the fall of the same Year I received from the hands of Capt. Sunt a discharge from the Service purporting that I had served. Honorably and faithfully; which discharge I have since casually lost; and the said Wescot further deposes that he is reduced and very much straitened in his circumstan- ces, that he has a large family, dependent on him for support, and that by reason of bad eyesight, and other

other decays of nature, he is not in so good a situation to labour as in his younger years. whereby is compelled to ask the profered assistance of his Government.
