I have not since that time, by gift, sale or in any manner, disposed of my property, or any part thereof with intent thereby so to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an act of Congress entitled an "act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land 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, or debts due to me, nor have I any income other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed. 
And by me subscribed: twenty-one sow and eight pigs, one pot, one oven, four hoes, three tubs, two beds, one loom, eight barrels of corn, and stack of fodder, one hundred fifty weight of meat, one plough, four weeding hoes, one grubbing hoe, two axes, that he is by occupation a farmer, but in consequence of his infirmities and the disability occasioned by the wounds which he received at the battle of the Eutaw Springs he is not able to support himself by his own labor-- that he has no one living with him but his wife who is old and unable to work.

I hereby certify that Solomon Gordon is a resident of Warren County. I presume that the name of Payton is inserted in his declaration through mistake—Thayton is the name of the Colonel under whom he served. Washington 17 May 1824
