I Amos Jones, aged fifty seven years, born in Dumbarton Massachusetts, a citizen of the United States, now resident in Unity, in the district of Maine, upon oath testify and declare, that in the year 1778 I enlisted and served in the war of the revolution in the service of the U. States against the common enemy for the period of six months under Col. Wade, of the Massachusetts Troops in the state of Rhode Island, from which service I was verbally discharged at Freetown. On the fifth of August 1779, I again enlisted as a private soldier in the service of the United States, in the war of the revolution, upon the continental establishment, for the period of nine months, in the company commanded by Capt Brown, and regiment commanded by Col. Timothy Bigelow, of the Massachusetts line. This period I fully served out, and took my honorable discharge from the army at a place called Soldiers Fortune May 4th. 1780. near West Point. This was my last continental service. My discharge I have since lost, and it is not now in existence to my knowledge. I was principally stationed between the White Plains and New York, but wintered at a place called Soldiers Fortune, near West Point. From my reduced circumstances, I am in need of assistance from my country for support. And I do hereby relinquish all my claim to every pension, heretofore allowed me by the laws of the U. States, if any; but I am not to my knowledge, borne on any pension list whatever. I request that I may be put upon the pension list for the district of Maine. AMOS JONES
