In the Sixty sixth Year of my Age, depose at forth and declare, that I was a Soldier in the war of the Revolution, on the Continental establishment - that I entered the service in One thousand Seven hundred and Seventy seven, in Capt s Hopkins Company, & Col s Sills Warmers Regiment, both the Col s & Captain lived in Bennington, in the new State of Vermont, for three years, that I served out my term faithfully principally in the State of New York, and had a Discharge, which I have lost. And I further declare, that from my reduced circumstances, I need the assistance of my Country for Support. I was in the retreat from Ticonderoga, and in the battle at Bennington and Hubbardton where Col. Francis was killed. I know Asker Freeman, who is now here present before before the Judge, in the army at Ticonderoga, and saw him often while there, and he can testify to my service; and I have no further evidence of my services in my power. his
