I Ebenezer Clark — a Citizen of the United States, now resident at Gloucester in the County of Essex — in the State aforesaid, do on oath testify and declare, that in the War of the Revolution, in the month of November 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 month of January in the year Seventeen hundred & seventy seven
as a private — against the common enemy, without any interruption or absence: that I belonged to the Company of Captain Barnabas Dodge in Colonel Baldwin's Regiment
and that I left the service on the month of January 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 Sixty one years. My discharge is now lost thro' lapse of time & I have no other evidence to offer than is herewith exhibited.
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.
