I Giles Daley of New Haven in said County, a resident and native citizen of the United States, do on oath declare, that I served my country for the period of one year in the Revolutionary war on the Continental establishment, as a soldier - That in beginning of the month of December 1775 I enlisted to serve one year in Captain Ezekiel Scotts company, in Col Wyllys' Regiment in the Connecticut line, during which period I faithfully served, in the army under the immediate command of Gen Washington near Boston, and at New York, and at the expiration of the period of my enlistment, on the first day of January 1777 was honorably discharged at Peekskill in the State of New York. By not having been careful to preserve my discharge, it is now lost & cannot be produced. I further on oath declare that by reason of my reduced circumstances in life, I now need the assistance of my country for support - I therefore pray that in conformity with the provisions of the act of Congress passed March 18 th 1818 I may be placed on the pension list of the United States.
