I Jonathan Hawes aged sixty four years, born in Sharon in Massachusetts a citizen of the United States now resident in Augusta in the District of Maine, upon oath testify and declare that after having served in the first eight months service of the revolutionary war, I again enlisted as a private soldier in the service of the U. States, in the war of the revolution, against the common enemy, upon the continental establishment, for the period of twelve months in Jan'y 1776 into the company commanded by Capt Payson, and regiment commanded by Col. (Joseph) Reed of the Massachusetts Troops. This period I fully served out, and was discharged from the army after the battle of Trenton. I took no formal written discharge. In April or May (or possibly March) 1777 I again enlisted as a private soldier in the service of the of the U. States, in the war of the revolution against the common enemy, upon the continental establishment for the term of three years, into the company commanded by Capt Patrick, and regiment commanded by Col Hden of the Massachusetts line, Genl Nixon's Brigade. This period I served in the army and took my final and honorable discharge from the army in March 1780. My discharge is now in the war office at Washington, sent there to obtain my land. I took my discharge at West Point. I was at the battle at Trenton and in both the general battles at the taking of Burgoyne. I am poor and in need of the bounty of the government. And I do hereby relinquish all my claim to any other pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the U. States, if any; but I am not to my knowledge borne on any pension list whatever. I request that I may be put upon the pension list for the district of Maine. I was in the indian expedition under Genl Sullivan.
