I Jonathan Greenough aged fifty six years, a citizen of the U. States, born in Bradford, Massachusetts, but now resident in Canaan Maine, upon oath testify and declare, that in March 1776 I enlisted as a private soldier for what remained of the year service then  ten months 1 year in the war of the revolution, against the common enemy upon the continental establishment, in Capt Bond's company and Col (afterwards Genl) Glover's regiment, Massachusetts line; or troops This period I fully served out, and was honorably but verbally discharged from the army at Newton, Pennsylvania January 1777. In July 1778 I again enlisted as a private for six months in the same service, and upon the same establishment in Capt Wade's company and Col Rufus Putnam's regiment of the Massachusetts line. Under this last enlistment, I served until the latter part of December 1778 when at Newport Rhode Island I was finally and honorably but verbally discharged from the army. 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. I request that I may be placed upon the pension list for the district of Maine. I was in battle at the White Plains and at the taking of the Hessians at Trenton.
