We whose names are hereunto subscribed, inhabitants of the town of Greenwich in the County of Hampshire, & State of Massachusetts, do testify & say, that we have been personally acquainted with Jesse Hinds, more than 53 years - said Hinds was a native of Greenwich aforesaid, but is now we understand a President of Chemung, in the State of New York. It has been understood & universally believed, that the said Hinds, was in several campaigns, as a soldier in the American Revolution. that in the year 1777 He was taken by the Indians & carried to Canada; how long he was held in captivity we cannot say. yet we believe the fact that he was taken & we never heard it questioned, & we can recollect the time when he returned. In our opinion, he is justly entitled to the benefit of the late act of Congress in relation to pensions. For full belief of the above statement we subscribe our names, in view of the Oath of God.

Oliver G. Smith, farmer, Hoback of the town of Rush in the said county being duly sworn doth depose and say that in the year 1875 this deponent then lived in the town of Greenwhich county Hampshire and state of Massachusetts and that this deponent was at that time well acquainted with a J. G. Hinds who at that time resided at the same place at the time and this deponent further says that in September 1875 as above stated the above named J. G. Hinds enter the service of the United States under our Captain Isaac Gray of the Round Hill Battery in the state above said for the term of one year commonly called at that time year more and that in the said J. G. Hinds was absent from that place for the space of one year or more and in this deponent under stood and sincerely believes that the said J. G. was taken prisoner by the Indians at the place Salatoga and was bound to Canada and remained with the Indians there about three months when he was retaken by General Shen of the United States Army at the time the place called Dye was retaken by him the said event and this deponent further says that he has no reason to doubt and does merely believe that the said J. G. was in the service of the United for the term of one full year or more except the time he was a prisoner as above said —

And this deponent further saith that in December of 1778 this deponent and the said Jesse Birds entered the service of the United and went to New London in the state of Connecticut and there served together for the space of five weeks; — and further saith that the said James Holmes above mentioned doth further swear that he is not in no wise interested in the application to be made by Jesse Birds to be placed on the pension list of the government. So I think certainly that James Holmes & James Holmes is an unspotted farmer in the said town of Northfield County above said John Woodbury Judge.
