To the Honorable the Secretary of the Department of War of the United States.
I the subscriber, being Chief Justice of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas, for the Second Eastern Circuit of Massachusetts, embracing the Counties of Lincoln, Kennebec and Somerset, do hereby certify to your Honor, that Enoch Brown , a citizen of the United States, now resident in Freeport , in the said County of Kennebec , in the District of Maine, on the fourth day of April , A. D. 1818, made application to me to receive his declaration under oath, and such other evidence, as was in his power to produce; and to transmit the same, and the proceedings had thereon, to your Honor; that he might be placed on the pension list of the United States, agreeably to the provisions of an Act, entitled "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war," passed March 18, A. D. 1818, which declaration, and the other evidence produced by the said applicant, is hereunto annexed.
And I do further certify to your Honor, that after a full examination of the said applicant, and a careful consideration of the evidence in the case, it appears to me that the said applicant did serve as a private soldier , in the war of the revolution, against the common enemy, upon the continental establishment, for more than nine months, as stated in his declaration aforesaid; and that from his reduced circumstances, he needs the assistance of his country for support.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the Seal of the Court in which I preside, to be hereunto affixed, this twenty second day of May in the year of our LORD one thousand eight hundred and eighteen.

I Enoch Brown, aged sixty six years, born in Georgetown in the District of Maine, a citizen of the U. States, now resident in Freedom in said District, upon oath testify and declare that in June 1778 I entered as a volunteer into the continental service of the U. States against the common enemy for the period of nine months completely equipped myself and went to Portland, joined with Capt Blasdell's company and went to Haverhill Massachusetts, and then joined with Capt Johnson's company and went to Ticonderoga where I joined the army, the regiment I do not now recollect. Before my said period of nine months had fully expired at Ticonderoga I again enlisted for during the war. I served out my nine months and took a discharge therefrom signed by Genl Gates, at Ticonderoga. The discharge I have not preserved. After I enlisted for during the war I procured a substitute William Wallace, at my expense, who was accepted in my place. In June 1780 I myself again enlisted as a private soldier into the continental service of the U. States against the common enemy for one year into the company commanded by Capt Lemont and regiment commanded by Col. Bradford of the Massachusetts line. This last period I fully served out, and in June 1781 at West Point, I took my final and honorable discharge from the army signed by General Washington. This discharge I have since lost. I was in Battle at Ticonderoga when the fleet was destroyed in Lake Champlain, under Arnold. I am very poor, and in need of the bounty of the government. And I do hereby relinquish all my claim to any pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the U. States, if any; but I am not, to my knowledge now on any pension list whatever. I request that I may be put upon the pension list for the District of Maine.
