day of March, 1818; and that I have not, since that time, by gift, sale, or in any manner, disposed of

and naval service of the United States, in the Revolutionary war:" passed on the 18th day of March,
1818; and that I have not, nor has any person in trust for me, any property, or securities, contracts,
