I Samuel Longfellow, aged sixty two years, a citizen of the United States, born in Hampton in the state of New Hampshire, now resident in Palermo in the District of Maine, upon oath testify and declare, that in May 1775 I enlisted as a private soldier, in the war of the of the revolution, upon the continental establishment, for the remainder of the eight months service, being for the period of seven months, in Capt Winthrop Rowes company and Col Enoch Dorr's regiment of the New Hampshire troops or line; I served under this enlistment until January 1776, and then immediately reenlisted into the same service and upon the same establishment, for the period of one year, in Capt Samuel Adams company in the same regiment and into the same line or troops. This period fully served out and was honorably, but verbally discharged, at Morristown, in the state of New Jersey in January 1777. In the same month of January 1777 I again enlisted as a private soldier into the same service and upon the same establishment, for the period of two months, in the same company and regiment. Immediately after this enlistment I was taken sick and remained at Morristown until after the expiration of my enlistment, and the regiment, to which I belonged, having been discharged, I returned home. I was at the battles of Trenton and Princeton. From my reduced circumstances in life I am in need of assistance from my country for support. And I hereby relinquish all my claim to any pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the United States, if any, but I am not to my knowledge borne on any pension list whatever.

I request that I may be placed upon the pension list for the District of Maine — Sam l Longfellow
