I Samuel Bond citizen of the united States of America, resident of the town of Merrimac in the county of Hillsborough, State of New Hampshire, solemnly swear that I enlisted into the service of the united States of America as a private soldier in the infantry company under capt. Aaron Hinckley in Col. John Stark's regiment in the New Hampshire line on or about the first day of May A 1775 for the term of eight months, which time I faithfully served out and was in the battle of Bunker's Hill of that year; after my time was expired without leaving the army I enlisted again, under capt. Samuel Gatt in the regiment commanded by Col. James Weston in the Massachusetts line in Cambridge in the commonwealth of Massachusetts; for three years from thence I was marched to New York and was on Long Island when Gen. Sullivan was defeated, after that I was I was marched to Princeton and was in the battle of that place; from thence I was marched to Valley Forge; from thence I went to West Point, saw Major Andre executed; I faithfully served without ever leaving the army against the common enemy through the war and was discharged by Col. Stark Sprout of the first regiment at Newburgh in New York, which discharge I have since lost. I further affirm I never was on the pension list of invalids and never received any money for my services done for my country.
I am now about seventy years of age, have no resources by which I can obtain a living or support myself, not being the owner or possessor of land or other property. I am now supported and have been for the these four last years by at the expence of the County of Hillsborough in said State of New Hampshire, and now feel my dependence on my country for my support in my declining years, and actually need the assistance of my County for my support.
