STATEMENT OF MILITARY SERVICE. 1775 - Dec. 1779.
To the Hon'ble the Council and House of Representatives in General Court assembled.
The Petition of the Selectmen of the town of Pittsfield in the county of Berkshire Most Humbly showeth :
That the Town of Pittsfield have, ever since the commencement of the war, distinguished themselves in their readiness to assist in the common cause and, that they might come at some certainty of what proportion of service they have done the State and Continent, have overlooked their papers (which they are ready to produce), and find that their services are equal to one man

250 years, not to mention their situation, which has called them from home when their corn and grass were suffering, and deprived of opportunity of fix- ing their ground for seed ; to which might be added the great supply of horses, teams, and carriages that we have been obliged to furnish, and the time ex- pended by the Committees and Selectmen, that amount to hundreds, for which they have received no consideration.
The aforegoing, your petitioners humbly conceive are sufficient reasons for this Hon'ble Court to consider them in the present demand made for the supply of the Continental Army.
· Which is humbly submitted to your Honors' wise, important, and just de- termination.
And as in duty bound shall ever pray,
WM. WILLIAMS. ELI ROOT. LEBBEUS BACKUS.
