I entered and was engaged in the land — service of the United States on the continental establishment, and served accordingly from that time to March 1777
as a a private soldier — against the common enemy, without any interruption or absence: that I belonged to Capt. Wentworth's Company, Col. Nixon's Regiment being the 6 th Regiment in the Massachusetts line, & served out said one year & was regularly discharged which I have lost. I then immediately before I left the army enlisted again for three years in Capt. Speirs company in the same Regiment & when I had served said three years about half out I enlisted for & during the war in the same company — and that I left the service on the 3 rd day of June 1783 having faithfully served out my time & on the day last mentioned I was regularly discharged at New-berga New Bedford in N. England and that by reason of my reduced circumstances in life and poverty, I stand in need of assistance from my country for support, being now of the age of sixty six
years — when I was discharged last in June 1783 our company was commanded by Capt. Frost & the Regiment by Col. Tupper. I served against the common enemy during the whole war (for I was out eight months in the year 1775) & was present at the taking of Burgoyne, but was principally on the Hudson river. My discharge in 1783 I have lost — When I enlisted for three years as above stated, it was in 1777 and I think in the month of March —
And I hereby relinquish all claims to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the United States, if any may be or hath been so allowed.
