Personally appeared before me the undersigned a Justice of the peace in and for said County David Remington, who being duly sworn deponeth and saith, that by reason of old age and the consequent loss of memory he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades
For four months I served as a first corporal in Captain Ethan Clarke's company in Colonel Varnum's Regiment.
For four months I served as an orderly sergeant under Captain Christopher Dyer in Col Lippitt's Regiment.
For four weeks this deponent had the command of a company himself under Colonel Charles Dyer in Sullivan's expedition.
For one year I served as an orderly sergeant in Stephen Babcock's company in Col. Grant's Regiment.
And this deponent further saith that his second term of service under Captain Christopher Dyer in Col Lippitt's Regiment, was by mistake in his declaration, stated to be under Col Varnum in Captain Clarke's company. The service is correctly stated - but the latter part of the service viz in

Newbury & Pennsylvanian - was under Captain Leyer in Col. Lippitt's Regiment -
and for such service I claim a pension -
and this deponent further saith that he knows of no  other  person who is familiar with his reputation as a soldier & for that reason he did not procure one to certify to it -
