as a private soldier in the capacity  a sergeant , against the common enemy, without any interruption or absence: that I belonged to Captain Aaron Haynes Company at first, afterwards under Captain Noah Adams, and then in Captain Ebenezer Smith's Company, in the Thirteenth Regiment of the Massachusetts Line commanded by Col. Edward Wigglesworth and Col. Calais Smith, and Col. Benjamin Tupper, the latter part of the time in the Tenth Regiment; and that I left the service on the ninth or tenth day of June, A.D. 1783, and received my discharge at New Windsor, which discharge I have lost and do not know the same is in existence 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 five years.
