Joseph Prins Regiment, for eight months , we marched to Falmouth, now Portland, about the first of April, when we joined the Regt. I served as sergeant in the company we were stationed, at Portland, and were engaged principally in erecting a Fort on the hill near back cove, northerly from the village, which we completed before we left. — The company was dismissed from the service the seventh day of December 1780. After having served eight months and some days, I was discharged, at the same time of the rest of the company, after having served out the full period of my enlistment.
I was born in Wells, in the state of Maine, and have always resided there. The year 1761 is the year of my birth I have no other record of my age, than that kept by me which I copied from one kept by my Father, there is probably a record of my age, on the town books of Wells I had a sergeants warrant in the service, which was signed by Col Prins, but it has been destroyed among old papers that I considered of no value.

He hereby relinquishes every claim to a pension or annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any agency in any state.
