I Jacob Gould of Rutland in the County of Rutland and State of Vermont, of the age of fifty four years, being duly sworn do declare before O say - that I en- -tered into the Army of the U. States in June 1779 & was attached to Capt. Russell's company in Col. Reed's Regt being I think the 2 d New Hampshire Regt. I enlisted to serve for one year or a soldier and went soon after to Fitchburg where I remained until autumn, I believe in Oct. from thence I went with my company to Danbury in Connecticut to winter quarters, where Genl. Poor's Brigade spent the winter - I was honorably discharged in June 1780. I gave my discharge to Col. Hale to carry to Portsmouth or Exeter to obtain my arrear of pay, and I have not seen it since, and know not where it is. I further say that I am a resident citizen of the U. States and am ex- -tremely poor - that I have a wife & five children - that I am indebted to the amount of one hundred dollars and have not a dollar at my command - that if I should be committed to gaol for any sum I should be obliged to remain there or take the benefit of the poor debtor's oath. And further say that from my reduced circumstances I need the assistance of my country for support. Subscribed & sworn this 31. March 1818, before me
