tion or absence: that I belonged to Captain Thomas Hartshorn Company, in Col. Micah Jackson's being the eighth on the Massachusetts line
and that I left the service on the 7 th of February 1783.
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
fiftyfive years — My discharge is filed herewith
And I hereby relinquish all claims to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the United States, if any may be or hath been so allowed.
