I Stephen Hall of Raynham Mr depose set forth and declare that I was a soldier in the revolutionary war and enlisted in December 1775 for one year in Capt. James Perry's Company & Col. Paul D. Sergeant's Regiment & Massachusetts line and served faithfully and had a discharge at the end of the year, which is now lost - that from my reduced circumstances I stand in need of the assistance of my country for support. - Stephen Hall

The subscribers Inhabitants of the Town of Raynham being well acquainted with Mr. Stephen Hall formerly a Soldier in Cap t James Berry's company and Colonel Sargent's Regiment of the Massachusetts line of the continental army, do consider him (he being in the sixtieth year of his age and very infirm in body) as very poor, Indigent, and unable to support himself, that it is necessary even for a bare existence that he should receive assistance from his Town or some other way, to support himself the remainder of his life, and we really believe that he ought to be placed on the pension list
