I John H Smith on oath declare that Joseph Hans of Illinois joined the army of the United States in the year 1782 as one of the three years men in the Revolutionary war. I then acting as Brigade Major & Inspector, assigned him to the Sixth Regiment, commanded by Lieut. Col. Comt. Smith.

From many circumstances within my knowledge I believe he had an honorable discharge at the reduction of the Army.
