I Israel Bullock, a Citizen of the United States, resident in the Town of Lyden in the County of Franklin the State of Massachusetts, do hereby declare that I belonged to the Army of the United States in the revolutionary War. In the year 1773. I entered the service & served during the term of eight months, at Leekmeering point, in the company of Capt. Ichabod Dexter of Massachusetts. In 1776 I served about six months under Maj. John Shepherdson of Vermont, at hard labor in opening a road from Brattle to Fincastle ga. In 1777 I enlisted for three years, & served during that term. The company in which I served was commanded the principal part of the time by Capt. Alexander in the Regiment of Col. Wigglesworth of the Massachusetts Line. I was honorably discharged in the year 1780. The discharge which I then received I put into the hands of Hugh McCallen to carry to Boston many years ago, & have not seen it since, I do not know what has become of it. I was destitute of property when I left the service, & never have had any thing since except what I have earned by hard labor. I have a small property, but by reason of old age & infirmity I am in a great measure past labor. And I am not able to satisfy the claims that are against me without parting with the small real estate that I have, which is all my dependence for support. I was in the battle at the taking of Burgoyne, & also in the battle at Saratoga. As a part of the old soldiers, yet by reason of my reduced circumstances in life I am in need of assistance from my Country for support. Dated the nineteenth day of April A.D. 1838
