I David Holt of Peterborough in the County of Hillsborough and State of New Hampshire, being sworn, do make the following statement in pursuance of the regulations of the War Department of June 27 th 1832 in order to obtain the benefit of the Provision of the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832. That I am now eighty years of age. That about the first of January 1776 I enlisted in Capt. Richard Saltonstall's Company in Col. Enoch Poor's Regiment in the New Hampshire line in the service of the United States for one year. That I served at Winter Hill until the enemy evacuated Boston, and then marched with the Regiment to New York - from thence to Canada, and back to Ticonderoga, when I was discharged.
I applied for a Pension under the act of March 18. 1818 and was placed on the Pension Roll, New Hampshire agency, a short time before the act of May 1820. As I had some property I never made any application under the last act, and my name was dropped from the Roll. I cannot state the date or number of my certificate, nor send it to the War Department, as it is lost. The only time I ever drew a Pension, which I think was in March 1820, I sent the certificate to Portsmouth, with my paper, and it was lost and never returned to me. I suppose it was lost by Capt. Ephraim Holt of Greenfield. J. K. Smith Esquire then of Nashua, but since deceased, procured my pension money for me. I sent to him for it by said Capt. Ephraim Holt. He brought me the money, but said he lost the certificate, and I have not seen it since.
I lived in the town of Peterborough when I first applied for a Pension and have lived there ever since.
