I David Brown, do testify and declare, that I am a citizen of the United States, residing in Boothbay in the county of Lincoln and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, aged sixty two years; that on the 1 st of January 1776 I enlisted a private soldier, for one year, in the war of the revolution, in Capt. Brooks company of infantry, Col. Bond's regiment, (the number of which I have forgotten) Massachusetts line, continental establishment, and served the time out & was regularly discharged at Siconderoga January 1777. which discharge I have lost -
In February 1777 I enlisted for three years, in Capt. Hunt's company, Col. Vose's regiment, (the number of which I do not recollect,) Gen. Glover's brigade, Massachusetts line, continental establishment, and served out the time & was discharged at West Point in February 1780. which discharge is also lost.
In the summer of 1780. I entered on board the continental Frigate Alliance of 36 guns, Capt. Barry command, for one year, & in about six months after I entered on board said Frigate, I was put on board one of her prizes to help man her, & we were, in a few days after, taken by the British, & carried to Halifax, where I remained about three months, & was then put on board a British man of war, on which I continued about seven months & then made my escape in Charleston, South Carolina - When I was taken by the British I lost my honorable discharge from the army, which I then had with me.
I further say, that from my reduced circumstances, I need the assistance of my country for support -
