I John Penny, aged sixty three years, born in Wells in the District of Maine, a citizen of the United States, now resident in Scarborough in said District, upon oath testify and declare, that in August  July 1775, I enlisted as a private soldier in the service of the U. States in the war of the revolution against the common enemy, upon the continental establishment, into what was called the first eight months service, five months only of which remained. This period I fully served out in the company commanded by Capt James Hubbard, and regiment commanded by Col. Phinney of the Massachusetts troops, and in December (the last day) 1775 I took at Cambridge my honorable discharge from the army. The discharge I have lost, and it is not to my knowledge in existence. On the first day of January 1776, I again enlisted as a private soldier in the war of the revolution, against the common enemy, upon the continental establishment, for the period of one year, in the company commanded by Capt Wilde, and regiment commanded by Col. Phinney of the Massachusetts line. This period I fully served out, and in January 1777 at Boston, I took my final and honorable discharge from the army. This discharge is not now to my knowledge in existence. By reason of reduced circumstances, I am in need of the assistance from 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. I request that I may be put upon the pension list for the District of Maine.
