Henry Champion, in the Regi- -ment commanded by Laurence Willis O.S.V., in the Brigade commanded by Samuel W. Pearson O.S.V., in the Connecticut line, I served as a soldier in said Regi- -ment from the time of my discharge en- -listment to the 4 th day of March One Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty two, when by reason of my having an ulcerous sore leg unfitting me for military duty I was dis- -charged from the Service of the United States by Herman Smith O.S.V. then Commandant of the Conner- -ticut Line, which discharge I have delivered for transmission to the De- -partment of War. . . . .
I further testify, That all the property I own is worth not more than Fifty or Sixty dollars,
