9 David Biber of Salisbury in the County of Litchfield and State of Connecticut Depose and declare that in the month of January 1781 to the best of my recollection I enlisted into the Army of the United States as a Soldier in the revolutionary war - I belonged to the Company of Capt. Billings and in the Regiment commanded by Col. Heman Swift which was the second Connecticut Regiment - I enlisted for the term of three years and I served from 1781 to October 1783 - at which I was commanded by another Capt. I do not recollect his name when I was discharged - I think Col. Swift commanded the Regiment I belonged to when I was discharged - I joined the Army at the Highlands - I served loyally and faithfully from the time of my enlistment to the time I was discharged which I think was in the month of October 1783 - My Discharge I have if any I had lost and and supposed it would be of no use if I had one - I further Depose that I am poor and stand in need of assistance of my Country for support
