On this sixth day of May. 1818, before me the subscriber, one of the Judges of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas, for the Southern Circuit, personally appeared Jeremiah Jonas of Bridgewater Co. of Plymouth aged sixty 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." viz. that he enlisted and entered into the said war in April 1777 into Capt. James Cooper's Company and Col. Boss  Bradford's Regiment, being the first regiment in the Massachusetts line, and continued to serve therein three years, the time for which he enlisted, and was discharged at West Point, but has long ago lost his discharge - that he enlisted again in April 1781 into the last three years service and went into Capt. Wells company and Col. Vose's regiment being the first in the Massachusetts line and continued to serve therein to the end of the war, and was discharged at West Point - but has lost this discharge also - that he was in the battles of Burgoyne's capture, White Plains, & Monmouth - that Captain Cooper is still alive and can testify to his services - and that he has no further

Evidence of his services in his power — and that from his reduced circumstances he needs the assistance of his country for support —
Sworn to and attested on oath the day and year aforesaid.
And I, the said Judge, do certify, that it appears to my satisfaction, that the said Jeremiah Jones or Jonas did serve in the revolutionary war, as stated in the preceding declaration, against the com- mon 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, and he is poor & needs the assistance of his country for support —
