I Isaac Morse aged sixty eight years, a citizen of the United States, born in Newbury in the state of Massachusetts, but now resident in Fayette in the District of Maine, upon oath testify and declare, that in April 1777 I enlisted as a private soldier, in the war of the revolution, against the common enemy, upon the continental establishment, for the period of three years, in Capt Robinson's company and Col George Reed's Regiment of the New Hampshire troops or line. This period I fully served out, and took my honorable discharge from the Army, at Newtown, in the state of Connecticut, the fifth day of April 1780. My Discharge I delivered Robert C. Vose Esq on the seventeenth day of April last past for the purpose of obtaining my land bounty. I was in the retreat from Ticonderoga, at the battle at Hubbardston, and both the battles at the taking Burgoyne. The above facts, together with the deposition herunto annexed, are all the evidence in my power to furnish, at this time, relative to my service. From my reduced circumstances in life I am in need of assistance from my country for support. And I hereby relinquish all my claim to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the United States, if any; but I am not to my knowledge borne on any pension list whatever. I request that I may be placed upon the pension list for the District of Maine.
