Allen and that I remained in service in said regiment till Oct r 28 th A.D. 1783, when I received an honorable discharge by Major General Knox. — I further testify that previous to the aforesaid enlistment, — I was in said service in the militia of the state two short tours, one at Portland; and the other at Penobscot at the time of the defeat under Gen l Lovell. — That by being much exposed to heats and colds. I am now subject to the rheumatism, and having but a small property, and being now about 58 years of age, I am in circumstances for a living I stand in need of some assistance from the United States. — And in re- = dued circumstances for a living I stand in need of some assistance from the United States. — I am a citizen of the United States, — & the discharge that was given me is hereto annexed.
