I David Ingham, of Farmington in the County of Kennebec and District of Maine, aged 62 years, a resident citizen of the United States, desiring to obtain the provision made by the law of Congress entitled, "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war," and to be placed upon the pension list for the District of Maine do on oath testify and declare, That I was born at Saybrook in Connecticut; that at said Saybrook, in 1775, in October or November to the best of my recollection, I enlisted as a soldier for thirteen months, as I confidently believe; if it was for a year I mistake in my memory in Capt. Abrahams Waterhouses Company and Col. Parsons's regiment, in the Connecticut line, on the continental establishment in the war of the revolution: that I served in said company about twelve months; and about one month before the expiration of my time was regularly discharged on account of sickness, called by my Doctor a hectic fever, which had reduced me to a feeble state and disabled me in body and mind.

I was a young man in my father's family, and my discharge was placed in a chest which was called mine. The house is now demolished and I have no knowledge or belief that the discharge is in existence. I was in the retreat from New York and in the battle of White Plains; and now, by reason of my reduced circumstances in life, am in need of assistance from my country for support.
