Isaac Dade a Citizen of the United States, now resident at Gloucester in the County of Essex in the State aforesaid, do on oath testify and declare, that in the War of the Revolution, in the month of January in the year of our Lord Seventeen hundred & Seventy seven
I entered and was engaged in the land service of the United States on the continental establishment, and served accordingly from that time to the month of September in the same year (when having received a severe wound at the Battle of Brandywine I was obliged to retire from the army on furlough until I should recover from my wound) as a private against the common enemy, without any interruption or absence: that I belonged to the Company of Captain Gardner in the Regiment of Colonel Lee of Virginia, until I recovered from the wound I received as aforesaid which was about one year after the Battle - I then entered the Continental frigate South Carolina commanded by Captain Gillam & served in the same for six months.
and that I left the service on the expiration of term being honorably discharged to wit, in or about the month of September A. D. 1778.
and that by reason of my reduced circumstances in life and poverty, I stand in need of assistance from my country for support, being now of the age of Seventy years I have no other evidence to offer than is here exhibited, my service being in the Virginia line of the army, & having been afflicted for fifteen years past with the palsy, it is out of my power to produce any evidence of my services, other than the nature & circumstances of my case & the examination of my person may afford, together with the Depositions of the Overseers of the poor of Gloucester which are herunto annexed.
And I hereby relinquish all claim to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the United States, if any may be or hath been so allowed.

BE IT REMEMBERED, That on this third day of April in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighteen Pursuant to a law of the United States, entitled, "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war," made and passed on the 18th of March, A.
