I Isaac Burnham a Citizen of the United States, now resident at Ipswich — in the County of Essex — in the State aforesaid, do on oath testify and declare, that in the War of the Revolution, on the Month of May in the Year of our Lord Seventeen hundred & seventy five
I entered and was engaged in the land service of the United States on the continental establishment, and served accordingly from that time to the close of the war of the Revolution
as a private against the common enemy, without any interruption or absence: that I belonged to Captain Dodge's Company in Colonel Francis Regiment for eight months, then to Captain Porter's Company in Colonel Tupper's Regiment for one year & to the end of the war
and that I left the service on the termination of the Revolutionary war being honorably discharged. —
and that by reason of my reduced circumstances in life and poverty, I stand in need of assistance from my country for support, being now of the age of seventy seven years. My discharge is now lost thro lapse of time & I have not any other evidence in my power to offer than what is herewith exhibited
And I hereby relinquish all claim to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the United States, if any may be or hath been so allowed.
Isaac Burnham
