then personally appeared before me the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace within & for the said County of Strafford. that  that John Trickey of Dover in said County, who being duly sworn, deposes & saith - that there is a mistake in his above declaration, as to the length of time he served at Winter Hill in 1775 under Capt. David Capps - for instead of four months, as above mentioned, he is confident that he enlisted for & did serve under said Capt. the full term of six months - Whether this mistake was made by the person who drew up his former declaration, or was made through his own forgetfulness, by reason of old age & the consequent loss of memory, he cannot now positively swear, but he is confident that he served at Winter Hill in 1775, under said Capt., not less than six months - and that he served under Capt. Joseph Varnum, in 1776 - for the term of four months and under Capt. Nicholas Rollins, in 1777, the term of four months, as stated in his former declaration
