I Daniel Davison of Craftsbury in the County of Orleans and State of Vermont, do depose and declare that I served as a Corporal in the company commanded by Capt. Saps Holister (being appointed corporal at the time Capt. Holister took command of the company) in the fourth Regiment of the Mass- chusetts line, the latter part of the time commanded by Colonel Henry Jackson, for the term of Three years, during the war of the revolution - and at the end of the term of my enlistment I was honorably discharged - That after the passage of the act of March 18 th 1818, I made application for a pension under said act, and forwarded my discharge with such other evidence of service, as was at that time required, then living at Craftsbury aforesaid, under the name of Daniel Davison Jun - That a pension was granted me, and a certificate thereof forwarded to me which certificate is herewith enclosed - That I was afterwards stricken from the pension roll, by reason of possessing more property than a mere rigid construction of said act would allow. My discharge and the evidence sent forward are now in the Pension Office at Washington -
My request now is that I may be inscribed on the list of pensioners, under the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832, entitled an act for the relief of the surviving Officers and soldiers of the revolution.
