United States vs District of Massachusetts
Whereas. The declaration of Abraham Ingersoll of Boston, Massachusetts, Fisherman upon his application for a pension for his services as a soldier in the war of the Revolution upon the Continental establishment, dated on the 30 th March 1818 contains these words namely "That he served as a private soldier in the war of the Revolution on the Continental establishment from May 1775 to May 1776 in the company of Artillery commanded by Edward Burbeck in the first Massachusetts regiment of Artillery and was honorably discharged but his discharge is lost". Now the said Abraham Ingersoll maketh oath that he at the time the said declaration was written and read to him, misunderstood the tenor and import of the above words and that those words are erroneous in this respect namely in the words & figures viz "To May 1776" which ought to be these words & figures viz "To December 1775". And the word "Artillery" should be the word Musketeers. and the name Edward Burbeck should be Gannis. whose christian name he has forgotten. And the said Ingersoll further maketh oath that afterwards in January  the spring of the year 1776 he enlisted in Edward Burbeck's Company of Artillery in Colonel Knox's regiment and served therein until January of the year 1777 . That he received an honorable discharge in writing which he has lost. That his aforesaid declaration is correct with the exception above mentioned.
Witness my hand and seal.
