I William Kendall, a citizen of the United States, born in Georgetown, in the District of Maine, now resident in Fairfield in said District, aged fifty nine years, upon oath testify and declare, that in March 1777 I enlisted as a private soldier in the war of the revolution, against the common enemy, upon the continental establishment, for the term of three years, in Capt. Jenkins's company, afterwards commanded by Capt. Sewall, and regiment commanded by Col d Samuel Brewer, of the Massachusetts line. This period I fully served out, and was honorably discharged at Fishkill March 12 th A.D. 1780. My discharge is herunto annexed. It was given to and for me, and I am the same person therein described.
I was in the retreat from Tyconderoga, in the battle of Hubbardton, in both the general battles at the taking of Burgoyne, and I wintered one winter at Valley Forge.
From my reduced circumstances in life, having suffered great losses both by fire and water, I need the assistance of my country for support. And I do hereby relinquish all my claim to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the U. States, if any; but I am not to my knowledge borne on any pension list whatever.
