William Mayberry of Raymond in the Maine District, that he served as a private soldier in the war of the revolution for the term of three years on the Continental Establishment, that he yet is a resident citizen of the United States at aforesaid, and that by reason of your applicant's reduced circumstances in life, he is in need of assistance from his country for support, being now fifty years of age.
