I Stephen Keyes of Plymouth in the County of Grafton and State of New Hampshire aged Seventy Eight years and a Pensioner of the United States do testify and say;
That I enlisted into the service of the U.S. at Plymouth aforesaid and was mustered at Bristol N.H. in March 1780 in Captain Dennis Company in Colonel Reeds Regiment for three years. We were marched to New-York, at a place called Snake Hill near near Windsor where we joined the Army. I served out the period of my enlistment in & about that vicinity. and was discharged. Timothy Kimball was a Drummer in the Company in which I served. He enlisted, I believe during the War. Served the said three years with me and when I was discharged in the Spring of 1783 I left him still in the service. I knew him well in the Army he was a good Soldier and served his country faithfully. He married after he left the Army.
