ss. On this fourth day of April A. D. 1818, before me the subscriber, one of the Judges of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas, for the Southern Circuit, personally appeared Leonard Hill of Pembroke aged seventy seven years, resident in the said Circuit, who being by me first duly cautioned according to law, on his oath made the following declaration, by him signed, in order to obtain the provision made by the late act of Congress, entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war," viz That he served in said war as a private soldier during the whole of the year 1776 in Capt. Eleazar Hamlin's Company, Col. John Baileys Regim t & Mass. Line. I See his said declaration of his services at large enclosed and also Luther Baileys affidavit.
The said Luther Bailey is a credible Witness, and was an officer during the war, and full credit may be given to his testi:

mony — He is son of the said Col. John Bailly. — I know him well and his af- fidavit is perfectly satisfactory to me — John Winslow is an attorney & respectable magistrate, and the signature to his certi- ficate is his genuine hand writing. — The said Leonard Hill is poor & needs the assistance of his country for support. —
And I, the said Judge, do certify, that it appears to my satisfaction, that the said Leonard Hill did serve in the revolutionary war, as stated in the preceding declaration, against the com- mon enemy, for the term of nine months, on the continental establishment; and I now transmit the proceedings and testimony taken and had before me, to the Secretary for the Department of War, pursuant to the directions of the aforementioned act of Congress.
