He has lost his discharge but was in the Battle of Brandywine and various skirmishes. He is a citizen, he is reduced circumstances and stands in need of support. /s/ John FOSTER. There is another statement from the above which gives a little more informaion. He states that he is a cripple - was run over several years ago by a carriage. This accident broke three of his ribs and keeps him from doing manual labor. His family consists of himself, his wife who is about his age - about 6 months younger than he and she also is a cripple for the past 7 years. She is unable to do ordinary house labor. This is the end of the Rev. War book. There were several pages torn out at the back of the book (which I do not have) - perhaps there were other applications on those pages - Sandi Sandi's Puzzlers: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gensoup/gorin/puz.html SCKY Links: http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore/Gorin.html GGP: http://ggpublishing.tripod.com/
