Gamaliel Bradford in the Massachusetts line and marched and joined the Northern army at Boston and thence marched to Ticonderoga and continued faithfully in the United States service to the end of the war and had an honorable discharge under the hand of General Washington, but my discharge is worn out and lost.

I am now seventy three years old, and from my reduced circumstances I stand in need of the assistance of my country for support. Nathan Fuller, of Barnstable, my Brother Seth Maker of Brewster, and Joseph Hatch Esq. of Falmouth, all in this County served with me during the war and can testify to my services and I have no further evidence in my power of my services, — and they are all here present before the Judge. —
