Titus Hines of Milford Declaration April 2, 1818
Admitted

Connecticut ss
I Titus Hine an inhabitant of the Milford, in the County of New Haven State of Connecticut - under oath declare that I served my country faithfully in the revolutionary war for more than six years on the continental establishment. I entered the service in the spring of 1775 continued to serve on short tours during this & the following year. That on the 31 st day of March 1777 I enlisted as a private soldier, "for the war only," into Capt Charles Pond's company of infantry - the Regiment was at first commanded by Col William Douglass afterwards by Col. R. D. Meigs - Connecticut line - our company was afterwards transferred to Col Sam B. Webb Regiment, in which I served until the peace, when I received an honorable discharge, which I gave to the purchaser of my "bounty lands" - by reason of my reduced circumstances in life I stand in need of assistance from my country for support. I therefore pray that I may be put on the pension list of the United States agreeably to the provisions of a late Act of Congress entitled "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land & naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war".
