I Abraham Young, a resident citizen of the United States of America, an inhabitant of Gray, in the district of Maine, on oath declare, that sometime in the month of August one thousand seven hundred and seventy seven in Falmouth in said district I enlisted as a private in the company commanded by captain Paul Ellis, in the regiment commanded by Col. Timothy Biglow, in Gen. Glouster's brigade, in the Massachusetts line, on the continental establishment in the revolutionary war, for the term of three years; that I continued to serve as a private in said company under captain Ellis & Lieut. Hener Dow, in the service of the United States, until the first day of August one thousand seven hundred & eighty, when I was regularly discharged from the service in P'keepsill in the state of New-york & received an honorable discharge in writing signed by Col. Timothy Biglow; that during the term aforesaid, I was stationed at Valley Forge in the state of Pennsylvania at Providence Rhode Island and at Budd's Highlands, in the state of New-york. And I do further declare on oath that I am sixty one years of age, am not borne on any pension list of the United States, and that by reason of my reduced circumstances in life, I stand in need of the assistance of my country for support.
Wherefore I the said Abraham young pray that this declaration and the proceedings to be

had thereon may be transmitted to the Secretary of War, to the end that I may be placed on the pension list of the United States, agreeably to the provisions of an act of Congress passed March 18 th 1818 entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States, in the revolutionary war."
Abraham Young
I, James Doughty, aged sixty five years on oath declare that I was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and well knew the above named Abraham Young that he served in Col. Bygdon's Regiment as he has above stated, and that it is my opinion, in consequence of his reduced circumstances in life he needs the assistance of his country for support. James Doughty
