William Hodge
The date of my original declaration in order to obtain a pension is the seventeenth day of April 1818. I have not received a pension. And I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the eighteenth day of March 1818 and that 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 18 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. My occupation is a Shoe maker not of sufficient ability [illegible] to support me without asking assistance of my Country being now in my seventy sixth year. There is in my family residing with me Anna Hodge my wife aged seventy one years, one daughter Lucy eighteen years old, one Son aged fourteen named John, one grandson named Matthew Kenesum thrown upon me aged five years. Their capacity to contribute to their support is not sufficient support themselves
