I have no real estate and no income nor any debts due me and my circumstances are so indigent as to need the assistance of my country for support - I was born Oct. 16th 1758 and am now in my 62 d year, and in consequence of a bayonet wound in my knee received in the Revolutionary war, and a fractured shoulder, as well as being subject to severe attacks of rheumatism and the ordinary infirmities of old age, I am utterly unable to support

myself by labor - I have no trade and depend entirely on the labor of my hands and the bounty of my country for support - My family consists of a wife in the 59 th year of her age and very infirm and subject to frequent fits of illness, and a daughter 23 years of age employed in the care of her mother & myself -
I enlisted into the Army of the Revolutionary war about the last of December 1775 as a private, and the first of January 1776 entered the Company of Capt. Moses McFarland in Col. Nixon's Regiment of Massachusetts troops which was (I believe) the fourth Regt. and served out the term of my enlistment of one year and further continued nearly two months longer in service until the arrival of recruits, when I was discharged at Chatham in New Jersey by Col. Nixon and Maj. Coburn in Feb. 1779 - I also served at three different times in the Mass. militia -

That in fact her husband served in the Revolutionary War more than two years & that she supposes the evidence contains — that fact —
If she has misconceived her case, any instructions from the department will be — gratefully received —
