I, Enoch Chase of the age of 67 years, declare and say, that I am a resident Citizen of the United States; that I now reside in & belong to the Town of Andover in the County of Essex, in the Middle Circuit, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. That I am by reason of my reduced circumstances in life, in need of assistance from my country for support; and that I never had any pension allowed me by the Laws of the United States. I further say that about the 26 th of Dec r . 1775 I enlisted as a private soldier, for the term of one year into the Army of the Revolutionary War. I entered the service Jan y . 1. 1776 in a company then commanded by Lieutenant Samuel Carr; there being then no captain over it. John Noyes was the 2 d Lieut. It was in the 26 th Reg t of the Massachusetts line under Col. Loammi Baldwin. I continued in service accordingly in said Company, under Lt. Carr, afterwards under a Capt. Stephen Badlam, & then under Capt. Carr, being the said Lt. Carr, then promoted, until the 23 d Dec r . 1776; & then the company being at Ridgefield in Connecticut, was ordered back to join the Reg t at Frog-Point, & my time being nearly out, I had my choice to go back to the Reg t or be then discharged; and I chose the latter, & then took my discharge signed by a Capt. Pettingill, who had been authorized to sign the discharge, & so left the service: I further say that the said discharge is worn out or destroyed.
