I Sherjashub Bourn of Scituate in the county of Plymouth Mass ts a resident citizen of the United States aged seventy eight years on oath set forth and declare that I was a soldier in the war of the revolution, and that from my reduced circumstances I need the assistance of my country for support - that I enlisted into the service in May 1776 in Capt. Brown's company and Col. Henry Jackson's Regiment and Massachusetts Line and continued to serve therein eight months, the term for which I enlisted and was honorably discharged at Lancaster in Pennsylvania. I had a discharge signed by Col. David Cobb, but have lost it. I enlisted again in May 1779 and joined the army at West point, Capt. Walis' company and Col. Marshall's Regiment & Massachusetts line and continued to serve therein nine months, the time for which I enlisted and was discharged at West point in March 1780, and received a pass from the Colonel, which I have also lost. Thomas Church and Silas Stetson both served with me during the nine months and can testify as to my service; and I have no further evidence in my power.
