Wilkins in the Regiment of Col. Bevelle in the New Hampshire line and served in the same until my enlistment had expired and was discharged at Ticonderoga. I again enlisted to serve for the term of three years as near as I can recollect in the Spring of the year 1777 in the Company commanded by Capt. Kent in Col. Tillys Regiment in the New Hampshire line and served in the same until the summer of the year A. D. 1783 when I was discharged at the high Lands in the State of New York. My certificate is dated April 24 th A. D. 1819. The Pension to commence April 3. A. D. 1875 and is numbered 9904 now I am by occupation a laborer but my age and increasing infirmities almost entirely preclude my doing any work. My family residing with me consists of myself and wife Sarah who is very feeble by reason of a nervous disorder and incapable of labor and am entirely dependent upon my pension for support.

and I do solemnly swear, that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18th day of March, 1818; and that I have not, since that time, by gift, sale, or in any manner, disposed of my property, or any part thereof, with intent thereby so to diminish it, as to bring myself within the provisions of an 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," passed on the 18th day of March, 1818; and that I have not, nor has any person in trust for me, any property or securities, contracts or debts, due to me, nor have I any income, other than what is contained in the Schedule hereto annexed, and by me subscribed.

11 11 I John McClintick a citizen of the United States resident in the Town of Ashfield in the County of Franklin and Commonwealth of Massachusetts do on oath declare that I belonged to the Army of the United States in the Revolutionary war. I entered the Service as a militia man soon after the battle of Bunker Hill under a Captain — Reece and marched immediately to Boston where whom I served eight months. I then enlisted into the continental as a soldier Army for the term of one year in the company commanded by Captain — Wilkins in a Regiment of the New- Hampshire Line commanded by Colonel — Benne or Beattle and a gentleman by the name of Butterfield was a Major in the same Regt. I served under Capt. Wilkins till his death after which my company was com- manded by a Lieutenant Braceford who continued to command it till sometime after my year had expired when the year for which I had enlisted had expired I again enlisted under the said Lieutenant Braceford for the term of three years soon after which a Captain — Wait was appointed to the command of our company under whom I served until my three years had expired. I then entered the Service again under the same Captain Wait for a further term of one year and an half and when my term of enlistment expired I received an honorable discharge from Colonel Gilley who then commanded the Regiment but I am now so old and forgetful that I am unable to say who signed it. This discharge I put into the hands of a Mr. Wilson who was then a member of the United States Congress for the purpose of his receiving for me fifteen months pay which was then due to me from the United States but he was soon after killed by a horse and nothing was done about it and I have never been able to find my discharge since.
I was seventy years old on the first day of April now current and now am poor and in reduced cir- cumstances in life and am in great need of assistance

from my Country for support
