I Richard Lowering of Newburyport in the County of Essex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on oath do testify and declare that I served in the army of the United States, in the war of the revolution, and on the Continental establishment more than three years - I enlisted in Capt. Poiniman's Company 2 d or 3 d North Hampshire Regiment commanded by Colonel Seamen - General Poore's Brigade, in June 1779 and served in said Company while the same was commanded by said Poiniman and afterwards in the same company under the command of Mandy Dustin until the last of December 1781 when I received a regular discharge which is now lost. I enlisted to serve for three years or during the war, and a short time before I was discharged I was sent with a detachment of soldiers to guard Mandy from Boston to Springfield and from thence to Philadelphia, on return from which our Regiment having gone to Albany and the war drawing near to a close we were discharged at West Springfield. I do further declare that by reason of my reduced circumstances I am in need of the assistance of my country for support.

Richard Lowering
I Samuel Chase of Newburyport aforesaid on oath do testify and declare that in the year 1779 I was a recruiting Officer, and employed by the Town of Newburyport to enlist men for the continental army (and in June or July of that year) I think the latter I went to Exeter in the State of New Hampshire and there said Richard Lowering then enlisted to serve in the army of the United States, on the continental establishment for three years or during the war. I do know that he then enlisted and entered the service but am unable to say what company he afterwards entered into or how long he served. I do understand (and believe) that he did perfect the terms. I well remember seeing him on his return from the Army - and his reputation was that of a good and faithful soldier - I have no interest whatever in said Lowering's application for a pension.
