At a Court continued and held for Frederick County
the 8th day of June 1820
Present
Edward McGuire, Joseph Tidball, William Lynn Beaty Carson
and Joseph Gamble Gentlemen Justice
On this 8th day of June 1820 personally appeared in Court,
being a Court of record for the County of Frederick in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Jacob Hunt aged Sixty one years in
the month of April last, who being first duly sworn according to
law doth upon his oath make the following declaration in
Order to obtain the provision made by the act of Congress
of the 18th of March 1818 and 1st of May 1820 "that he the
said Jacob Hunt to the best of his recollection enlisted for the
term of three years or during the war, some time in the year
1778 in the State of Maryland in the Company commanded
by Captain Morris in the 7th Regiment in the Maryland line 
commanded by Colo Gunby, on Continental Establishment; that he continued to serve in the Maryland line until
the month of September 1782 and was discharged by Major
Hardman in the said State of Maryland about the month of
September 1782 - that he the said Jacob Hunt was in the
Battles of Camden and Guilford - that he has no other evidence now
in his power of his services except the certificate of William Lamas late a Scout in the said 7th Regiment in the
Maryland line aforesaid- And the said Jacob Hunt took
the following oath, in pursuance of the act of the 1st of
May 1820- "I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen
of the United States on the 18th 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 provissions of an act of Congress entitled "An act to provide for certain
Page 9

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 body 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 now subscribed and delivered by me- the Schedule delivered and subscribed is in these words
"Two or three on pots, a Dutch oven - few old dishes
plates, knives and forks, what number I do not precisely recollect
I do not own any real estate - I have set of shoemakers tools
Jacob  his X mark  Hunt"
And the said Jacob Hunt declares that he is a shoemaker
but not able to earn his living by Manual labour, that he
has no family except his wife Eleanor, who is about fifty-Eight years old, and is a weakly infirm woman-- that he
is himself subject to slight convulsion fits, which greatly
disable him from pursuing and regular business for obtaining a subsistance-
I James Keith Clerk of the Court of the County aforesaid do hereby certify that foregoing oath and schedule
are truly copied from the records of the said Court; and I do further certify that it is the opinion of the said Court that the
total amount in value of the property exhibited in the aforesaid schedule does not exceed ten dollars
In Testimony whereof I have
hereunto set my hand and affixed the
Seal of the County aforesaid the
15th day of June 1820 and in the
forty fourth year of the Commonwealth
