On this 26 th day of October A D 1819, before me the subscriber, one of the Judges of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas, for the Southern Circuit, personally appeared Amos Brown of Duxbury Mas. aged sixty years, resident in the said Circuit, who being by me first duly cautioned according to law, on his oath made the following declaration, by him signed, in order to obtain the provision made by the late act of Congress, entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war."
I Amos Brown do depose, set forth, and declare on oath that I was a private soldier in the war of the Revolution the whole of the year 1776. I enlisted into Capt. Flowers Company & Col. Greaton's Regiment & Massachusetts line in the beginning of January 1776 for one year, being the first year's service on the Continental establishment, and continued to serve out said year faithfully and was honorably discharged at the end of it, at Morristown in New Jersey. but have no written discharge now if I had one at all , as to which I cannot remember. I tarried 6 weeks over my time, as did many others, at General

Washington's special request - that from my reduced circumstances I need the assistance of my country for support.
Amos Brown
And B, the said Judge, do certify, that it appears to my satisfaction, that the said Amos Brown did serve in the revolutionary war, as stated in the preceding declaration, against the com- mon enemy, for the term of nine months, on the continental establishment; and I now transmit the proceedings and testimony taken and had before me, to the Secretary for the Department of War, pursuant to the directions of the aforementioned act of Congress; and that  I am satisfied the said Amos Brown needs the assistance of his country for support as he has sworn
