I John Pickmore, aged fifty nine years, a citizen of the United States, born in Friendship in the District of Maine, now resident in Unity in the said District, upon oath testify and declare, that in January 1776, I 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 year's service, in Capt. Fatt's company and Col. Dows regiment of the Massachusetts troops or line. I continued in this service until the last of November following, and then took my final and honorable discharge from the Army at Mount Independence, Lake Champlain. I was discharged before the expiration of the period of my enlistment in account of the poor state of my health; and such was the state of my health, I was unable to return home to my place of residence in Friendship in the District of Maine, until the twenty eighth day of March 1777. I served in this campaign more than eleven months, and was employed during that time principally at Lake Champlain and its vicinity. My discharge is lost and not in existence to my knowledge. From my reduced circumstances I am in need of assistance from my country for support. And I hereby relinquish all my claim to any pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the United States, if any; but I am not to my knowledge borne on any pension list whatever. I request that I may be placed upon the pension list for the District of Maine. I enlisted by the name of John Pickmore junior, my father being of the same name, but now deceased. I am known only by the name of John Pickmore. John Pickmore
