Crumbleand S.S.
On this 27th day of August in the year of Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty four personally appeared Jacob White a resident of Freeport in said County who upon oath makes a supplementary declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th 1832
He states that he is ninety years of age and in consequence of the loss of memory has not been able to state particularly the length of service or the officers under whom he served. He believes that in the year 1775 he served two terms in Capt Robert Orr's Company and in Col Bailey's Regt and that one term was early in the Spring and the other in the Autumn. In the latter service of the year 1775 he was stationed at Roxbury and he believes that he enlisted for six weeks but left a few days before the expiration of the time of his enlistment. During this time at Roxbury he was stationed or quartered at the house of an old lady by the name of Kent. This Company he believes was called out by the authorities of Massachusetts and he well knows that it was duly organized and under the usual military discipline. He does not know of any one who

Served with him in that company now living In the year 1776 he enlisted and served more than five months as he believes in Capt Jacob Pool's company in Col Garry's Regiment and marched with said company to New York for the purpose of recruiting and filling up up Gen Washington's Army. He believes that it was quite six months from the time he en- listed before his return.
After this period he belonging to the Mili- tia of Abington was called out to perform short terms of duty in guarding the Coast and to Rhode Island and he believes that he served as Sgt under Capt Baker in the year 1778. and at other times afterwards under said Baker or other Captains. He this day makes application to the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Mass: for proof of his service which he has, here set forth.

Sir
I herewith forward to you the Supplementary declaration of Jacob White of Freeport with such proof of service as could be obtained from the Secretary's office in Mass. to bring his claim within the provision of the Act of 7 th of June 1832. In your letter to me under date of August 26 th 1840, the service, called by you the third term under Capt Jacob Pool of Casco's Reef for five months in 1776, is such as to lead me to conclude that that service is unquestionably proved to your satisfaction. There are no rolls of that service in the office at Mass. If to that there be added the 2 mos & 5 days the applicant will be entitled to receive the pay of private for 5 mos 24. & that of Serjt for 1 mo 11 days. The application in this case has been before you for about 7 years and it is the earnest request of the applicant to have his certificate forwarded to him as soon as possible.

To the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Mass:
The undersigned requests the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Mass to furnish evidence of his service in the war of the Revolution in the years 1775 and afterwards as late as the year 1780. He believes that he served in Capt Robert Orr's Company two terms in the year 1775 one in the Lexington Alarm and the other in the fall of that year. In the year 1776 he served in Capt Jacob Potts Company more than five months as he believes. At later periods of the war he served short terms of duty under various captains the names of whom he does not now distinctly recollect. He believes he served one term under Capt Baker as Sergt. He requests therefore that a search will be made into the Rolls for the purpose of procuring evidence of all his service. He was a resident of Abington at the time of the Revolutionary war.
