November 15. 1857.
I hereby Certify, That, from an examination of the Books and Documents relating to Military Services in the War of the Revolution, which remain in this Department, it appears that the name of Amos Currier is borne on a pay roll of Capt. Timothy Eatons Co. Col. Edward Wigglesworths Regt. for travel from Revereza - as a private, of Haverhill - roll dated Jany 31. 1777. The service of this Co. was for not less than 5 months - the pay of the regt commencing at some time in June, their return not taking place previous to Dec. 1. 1776. —
Also on a pay roll of Capt. James Mallon's Co for service at Castle Island, Boston Harbor. From Oct. 3. 1779, as private, 1 mo. 10 d. —
His name is not found on any roll of a Capt Ford. —

And I further Certify, That, before search made for evidence of said facts, the application hereto annexed was filed in this Office, in the form in which the same now appears; that the search was made by myself and my clerks alone; and that said application, and the certificate above set forth, contain all the facts and circumstances within my knowledge, pertaining to the case.
In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto affixed the Seal of the Commonwealth, the date above written.

The Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is hereby requested to furnish evidence from the Rolls in his office of the service of my late hus- band Amos Gunion, in the Revo- lutionary War as a private, by rank It is my belief that to that in 1776, he served under Captain Eaton - and went to Ligonier, Brown Point and into Canada. The Colonel under whom he served in this campaign was Wigglesworth - he was out about eight months - That in 1778 or about that time he served in the campaign commanded by Capt. Sumner Haloon - was at Boston & went to Rhode Island - was out about three months. I have heard him speak of being out under Capt. Ford and that he went to some place in the State of New York, but I cannot recollect what place it was. I think he was in service about eight months in this last named campaign. That he resided in the Town of Haverhill

in the State of Massachusetts, when he enlisted I am now eighty years of age and My memory does not enable me to state any thing further material to the search required.
