I afterwards served in the same capacity in Capt. Clark's Richardson's Company & 1st Dyke's Regiment four months, was then transferred to Capt. Johnson's Nelson's Company in Col. Whitney's Regiment where I continued about four months - I again entered the service in the Company of Capt. John Spence Company in Col. Nixon's Regiment & Genl. Nixon's Brigade from which I was honorably discharged after seven months service the same and that I left the service on or about the month of September Seventeen Hundred & Seventy six. The precise time I do not recollect - as I have lost my discharge - and that, by reason of my reduced circumstances in life and poverty, I stand in need of assistance from my country for support, being now of the age of Fifty Eight Years.
And I hereby relinquish all claims to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the United States, if any may be or hath been so allowed.
