DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA, ss.
On this Nineteenth day of May A. D. 1818, before me, Richard Peters, Judge of the District Court of the United States, in and for the Pennsylvania District, personally appeared Jacob Stowe of Philadelphia County who being duly Sworn deposes and declares, that during the War of the Revolution he served against the common enemy as a Soldier in the army on the Continental Establishment—that on the  day of A. D. 1777 at  in the state of Virginia he enlisted in Captain Wilks company in the Seventh Regiment of the Virginia Line commanded by Colonel Russell and continued to serve with the said Regiment until the end of the war when he received an honorable discharge which has since been lost. That he was in the battle of Monmouth and other engagements of less importance.
That by reason of his reduced circumstances in life, he is in need of assistance from his country for support, that he never has received, or been allowed any Pension by the laws of the United States—that he is a resident citizen of the United States, and that his present declaration is made in order to obtain a portion under the late act of Congress for the relief of the surviving Officers and Soldiers of the Revolutionary army.
