I, Timothy Whitney of Newton a citizen of the United States, now resident at said Newton, in the County of Middlesex in the State aforesaid, do on oath, declare, that I served, in the War of the Revolution, the full term of time required by a Law of the United States, made and passed in the month of March, A. D. 1818, entitled "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States, in the Revolutionary War," as a requisite to entitle me to be placed on the pension list of the said United States, having entered the Land service of the said United States, on the Continental Establishment, and served as a private soldier against the common enemy; from sometime in the year 1776 to the end of one full year
That I belonged to Capt. Daniel Whitney's company, in the Regiment commanded by Colonel Whitcomb, in the Massachusetts Line - and that I left the service sometime in the year 1777, when my term, for which I was enlisted, having expired, I was honorably discharged. Being now advanced in life, at the age of 70 years, I cannot particularly recollect dates. I will however add that I was in the public service, at another period of the revolutionary war, as a soldier, for three months, and at another, I served as a soldier for eight months, in the Revolutionary war - my discharge which was honorable I have lost. And I hereby relinquish all claim to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the said United States, if any may be, or hath been, so allowed. I further declare that by reason of my reduced circumstances in life, I stand in need of assistance from my Country for support.
