I Paulus Hammond aged fifty eight years, a citizen of the United States, born in Rochester in the State of Massachusetts, but now resident in Leeds, in the District of Maine, upon oath testify and declare, that in January 1777, I enlisted as a private soldier, in the war of the revolution, against the common enemy, upon the continental establishment for the period of three years, in Capt Joshua Eddy's company and Col Garmaliel Bradford's regiment in the Massachusetts line. This period I fully served out, and took my honorable discharge at or near Valley Forge in December 1779; which discharge is lost and is not to my knowledge in existence — In June 1781 I again enlisted as a private soldier into the same service and upon the same establishment, for the period of three years, in Capt Fox's company, and Col Jackson's regiment, in the Massachusetts line, and served therein until the twenty second day of December 1783, and then took my final and honorable discharge from the Army at West Point, which is hereunto annexed, as belonging to the third regiment of the Massachusetts line, having been previously transferred to said last mentioned regiment — I was in both the battles at the taking of Burgoyne, at the battle of Monmouth, and also at the battle of Stony Point under General Wayne. I wintered one winter at Valley Forge — From my reduced circumstances, I am in need of assistance from my country for support. And I do hereby relinquish all my claim to any pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the United 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 —

Donner She. Dec. 17. 56 Sir. I send you the Application of Mary Damon, formerly widow of Paulinus Hammond. For Bounty Land under act of March 3. 55. The reason why the Appli- cation is not filled up in form, is partly that the old widow is quite infirm and forgetful, and proof could not be conveniently had; and because , being a pensioner under act of Feb. 3. 53. The proofs are all on file in the papers for her pension. I also send a copy of the Pension certifi- cate, which the Justice has sent me. There will be no question about the service;

and her present widow- hood is clearly proved.
I regret that she did not come to apply - as she is quite feeble - and may not live to receive the Warrant.
I would therefore solicit as much despatch as is consistent with justice to others. And as this case will require only a slight examination, under the amendment of May 14, 1856. I would respectfully ask that a Warrant may be issued without delay. By so doing you will much oblige the Applicant - and
