The last of July 1781 I again enlisted, as a private soldier in the same service and upon the same establishment, for the period of four months in Capt Strong's company and Col.

This period I fully served out and took my final and honorable discharge from the army at Saratoga, the last of November 1781, or first of December 1781. My discharge is lost and not now in existence to my knowledge. From my reduced circumstances I need the assistance of my country for support. And I do 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 liable on any pension list whatever.
