I Daniel Brown of Ashhurst in the County of Hampshire and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, do testify and say that I served as a private soldier, in the war of the revolution, on the continental estab- -lishment for & during the several periods following. to wit. I enlisted as a soldier, in the month of June in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred & seventy seven, in the company commanded commanded by Captain Jonathan Rice; in the regiment commanded by Colonel Bullard, & in the brigade under Brigadier General Warner - ; & marched with the same company from Stow, in the County of Middlesex, & common- -wealth aforesaid, when I then resided, during the same month. I marched to Ticonderoga & to sundry other places in the state of New York; & was at Saratoga in the battle that was fought between the Americans; & the British under the command of General Burgoyne; & was discharged the latter part of the month of October, after having served in the continental army four months.
The next summer, which was in the year seventeen hundred & seventy eight, I left the town of Stow aforsaid, in the month of June, & joined the continental army at Fishkill in the state of New York. I then entered the company commanded by Captain Adiam Wheeler, in the regiment commanded by Colonel Nixon & in the Brigade under General Nixon. I marched with said company, sometime in the month of June; from Fishkill, to West Point, & from thence to White Plains

when I remained till about the first of December. when we went into winter-quarters at Pikes-hill.
I remained at said Pikes-hill till the last of March following when I received a discharge, after having served in the continental army a period of nine months.
I again joined the continental army in September following which was in the year seventeen hundred & seventy nine. I marched from Springfield in the state of Massachusetts in the company commanded by Captain Joseph Brown & in the regiment commanded by Colonel Bigelow. & in the Brigade under the command of Brigadier General Glover. During this campaign the company to which I belonged was not stationary at any particular place, but marched from place to place within the limits of the state of New York. We had our winter quarters at a place called the Highlands opposite West-Point, where I remained till the the fourth day of June following, when I obtained a discharge.
At the expiration of each of the aforesaid periods I received a regular discharge, but not considering it important to preserve them, they are now mislaid or lost.
And I do further testify, that I am now destitute of property, & by reason of my reduced circumstances in life, need the assistance of my country for support. Daniel Brown

the Samuel F. Dickinson and Sabina Dickinson, both of Amherst in the county of Hampshire & Commonwealth of Massachusetts, of lawful age, testify & say, that we are acquainted with the said Daniel Brown, & that he is very poor, & destitute of property.
