Samuel Vickery

I Samuel Vickere of Rehoboth in the County of Bristol and Commonwealth of Massachusetts being now sixty eight years of my age do hereby declare that I was a Soldier in the late Revolutionary war with Great Britain. I enlisted in the early part of the war at Boston into Capt Winthrop Sargants, Company of Artillery and Col John Cramers Regiment for three years - From Boston I marched to Philadelphia and after serving the said term of three years out, I again went into the same service in the same Company for the duration of the war. I was in the battle of Brandywine - also in that of Germantown and of Monmouth - I served faithfully from the time of my said enlistment until the conclusion of the war, making my whole time of service six years and about six months. I received an honorable discharge but have never preserved my certificate of discharge, and know not what has become of it. I was in the Massachusetts line and on the Continental establishment. I further depose & declare that I am a Citizen of the United States, and do hereby release all claim to any pension which may have been heretofore allowed me by the laws of said States, if any. And I further depose and declare that I am reduced in my circumstances and stand in need of my Country's assistance for support, and I hereby pray that I may be put on the pension list by virtue of the late law of Congress passed Feb 1818 for the benefit of indigent Soldiers - And I have no further evidence to offer -
