N.M.

I John Paty of Plymouth in the County of Plymouth a commonwealth of Massachusetts & a citizen of the United States and now resident therein set forth and declare that I was a private soldier and fifer in the war of the revolution for more than nine months on the Continental establishment, that from my reduced circumstances I need the assistance of my country for support, and am therefore desirous of obtaining a pension from the United States agreeably to a late law of Congress of the 18 March last, and do relinquish all claim to any pension heretofore granted me (if any) by any former law of Congress - that I entered the service in the beginning of 1777 (in March I think) under Capt. George Dunham (who is now living at Bridgewater in this County) and in Col. John Baileys regiment in the Massachusetts Line and served during what was called the first three years service, and was honorably discharged at Westpoint, but lost my discharge some years ago, when I unfortunately lost my pocket book overboard in a squall in a passage from this place to Boston. Capt. Dunham can attest to my services as he was my Captain almost three years. He left the service about 8 or 9 months before the three years expired, and Siles Manton then had the command of our company. My discharge was dated either the 11 th or 18 th of March 1780. — My name on the army rolls is written Patee . — John Paty
Sworn to April 11. 1818.

ss. On this 11 th day of April A. D. 1818, before me the subscriber, one of the Judges of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas, for the Southern Circuit, personally appeared John Paty of Plymouth aged _____ years, resident in the said Circuit, who being by me first duly cautioned according to law, on his oath made the following declaration, by him signed, in order to obtain the provision made by the late act of Congress, entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war." viz (see his said Decla- ration enclosed).

And I, the said Judge, do certify, that it appears to my satisfaction, that the said John Paty did serve in the revolutionary war, as stated in the preceding declaration, against the common enemy, for the term of nine months, on the continental establishment; and I now transmit the proceedings and testimony taken and had before me, to the Secretary for the Department of War, pursuant to the directions of the aforementioned act of Congress.
