The date of my original declaration in order to obtain a pension is the third day of April 1818. The number of my pension certificate is 6681. I have received a Pension. And I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18th 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 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. My occupation is a Labourer- I am not in a sufficient ability to pursue it by reason of a lameness in my fingers-
I have seven in family residing with me namely my wife Dolly Cutler and five young children-
Their capacity to contribute to their support is such that they have no property and are unable to support themselves
