Jonathan Leavitt, Esq; Judge, Greenfield, Franklin Co. Massach'tts Rec. 30. April, 1818.

I Isaac Chapin, a Citizen of the United States, now resident in the Town of Hattin in the County of Franklin in the State of Massachusetts in North Declared, that I belonged to the Army of the United States in the revolutionary War. In the year 1775 I entered the service & served eight months in the company of Capt. Saml. Warren in Col. Joseph Reed's Regiment. In 1776 I enlisted for one year, & served during that term under the Capt. & Colonel aforesaid. In 1777 I enlisted for three years & served during that term. The Company in which I served was commanded a part of the time by Capt. Isaac Warren, & after his decease, by Lt. Muzzey, & belonged to the Regiment commanded by Col. John Bailey of the Massachusetts Line. I was honorably discharged. But I cannot find my discharge, & do not know what has become of it. I am now in my sixty second year, & by hard labor, constant care & economy since I left the service have acquired some property, & brought up a large family. I have nine children now living, among whom I have one son, 22 years of age, who is not, & to all appearance never will be capable of taking care of himself. On this account my family is peculiarly expunged, while by reason of infirmity & old age my earnings are continually diminishing. The general progress of my circumstances as to property have been as the decline, & probably will continue to be as long as I live. I hope soon to be reduced to a state of absolute want. But I think that I may justly consider that by reason of

of my reduced circumstances to succeed in life, I am in need of assistance from my country for support. — Dated the 9th day of April A D 1878.

affid, which includes the County of Frank- lin, do hereby certify that from the testimony of said, it appears to my great plea- sure that the before named Isaac Chapin served in the revolutionary war, as he in his Declaration of said has stated against the common enemy, & that by reason of his reduced circumstances in life he is in need of assistance from his Country for support. For testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand & affixed the Seal of the Court of said the eighth day of April A.D. 1878
