John Nixon's regiment and of the Massachusetts line or troops. This period, I fully served out, and was honorably but verbally discharged at Cambridge Jan'y 1. 1776.

This period I also fully served out and was honorably but verbally discharged at Cambridge in April 1776. On the first of July June 1776 I again enlisted as a private soldier for the term of five six months in Capt Asahel Wheeler's company and Col. Reed's regiment of the Massachusetts line or troops. I served until Nov r 27 December 1776 when I was honorably but verbally discharged at Fyendevoga.
I was in the battle of Lexington.
From my reduced circumstances, I need
