On this 27 th  ss. day of April 1818, before me the subscriber, one of the Judges of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas, for the Southern Circuit, personally appeared Josiah Mann of Scituate aged seventy three years, resident in the said Circuit, who being by me first duly cautioned according to law, on his oath made the following declaration, by him signed, in order to obtain the provision made by the late act 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," vrr.
That he served nine months in said war from in Col. Henry Jackson's Regiment (which was a Massachusetts Regiment). —
/ See his said declaration enclosed/
He does not state the year, but it must have been 1778 or 1779 —
He offers no evidence of his year's service in 1778, because he suppo- ses his 9 months service will be sufficient will appear on the

Rolls - and I do certify that the said Mann is poor and needs the assistance of this country for support —
And I, the said Judge, do certify, that it appears to my satisfaction, that the said Josiah Mann — did serve in the revolutionary war, as stated in the preceding declaration, against the common enemy, for the term of nine months, on the continental establishment; and I now transmit the proceedings and testimony taken and had before me, to the Secretary for the Department of War, pursuant to the directions of the aforementioned act of Congress.
