I John Rand a citizen of the United States now resident at Boothbay in the county of Lincoln, in said state do on oath testify and declare, that in October 1776, I enlisted in the war of the Revolution as a private soldier in Capt Beals (or Capt. Bell's) company in Col Scammons Regiment, in the New Hampshire line on the continental establishment, for three years, & served accordingly until the 25 th day of December 1777 when I was discharged from the General Hospital at Allany as an invalid as appears by my discharge hereunto annexed, I was at Ticonderoga and at the battles at the taking of Burgoyne and on the last battle of taking Burgoyne & by over straining myself became ruptured & had a spitting of blood. The rupture still remains & my health is very infirm, and I am unable to work being now 67 years of age, and by reason of my reduced circumstances in life & poverty, I stand in need of the assistance of my country for support. And I hereby relinquish all claims to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the United States, if any may be, or hath been so allowed - I have not any other proof of my said service now in my power to produce -
