I Moses Chandler, a citizen of the United States, aged sixty one years, born in Westford Massachusetts now resident in Farmington in the District of Maine upon oath testify and declare, that in April 1778 I enlisted as a private soldier, in the war of the revolution, against the common enemy, upon the continental establishment, for the term of three years, in Capt Blaisdell's company, and Colonel Wigglesworth's regiment of the Massachusetts line. Under this enlistment, I continued to serve until some time I think in the beginning of the year 1780 when I re-enlisted as a private in the same same regiment for the period of during the war, and was not long afterwards transferred into the sixth regiment of the Massachusetts line commanded principally by Col. Tappan, under whom I was discharged. When I was in the sixth regiment my company was commanded principally by Capt Ebenezer Smith, who was my Captain when I was discharged. I served until the month of June 1783 when I was honorably discharged at Newburgh on Hudson river. My discharge I lately sent to the Land Office at Washington to obtain my land. I was in the battle of Monmouth. From my reduced circumstances, I need the assistance of my country for support. And I do hereby relinquish all my claim to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the U. States, if any; but I am not to my knowledge borne on any pension list whatever. Moses Chandler
