Most Humbly Sheweth

That her father was a Refugee from the Province of New York and Served one year as a Guide and Pioneer and Received a Discharge and afterwards was Unhappily Drownded and Left behind him myself and one Brother now about Fourteen years old.

Do Humbly beg that myself and brother May have Lands Granted them between the Kennebecatious and Bellisle as it is now Laying out and as in Duty bound your Excellencys Petitioner will Ever Pray--
