I further state, that on the 26 th day of April 1814, being then indebted to my Son William White Indt. for his labour upon the Farm and for supporting my Family, I executed to said William and a Deed of Fifty two acres supposed to be about one half of the Farm; that afterwards, upon or near the 24 th April 1816 my Son contracted to sell the above Fifty two acres to my Son James and on the day last mentioned, William reconveyed the same to

me, by Deed of that date, and it was then agreed, that James should have a Deed of the undivided half of the Farm, from me and that he should immediately go into possession; said James thereupon took possession, but I did not give him a Deed until the sixth of April 1818 - I am unable to say when, or how much James paid William for said Fifty two Acres, but then understood to be about $600 - I further state, that upon the conveyance of the other undivided half of my Farm to my Daughter Hannah on the 24 th May 1827, I received no consideration for the same; but as she is naturally of feeble health, and of weak mind, I gave the Deed that she might not become an Object of Charity -

Carlos Coolidge Justice of the Peace

I, James White, of Windsor in the County of Windsor and State of Vermont, of lawful age, depose and say - that while my brother, William White Jun. held a deed of 52 acres, part of the farm formerly owned by my father William White, his conduct and management of the farm was not such as to please our parents, and they importuned me to come home, buy out my brother, and live with them. Much against my will, I consented, as my parents were then, and ever since have been, infirm and, together with my sister Hannah, unable to support themselves - It was agreed that I should buy out my brother William - that he should quit-claim to my father, and my father give me his deed for an undivided half of the farm - In pursuance of this agreement, I paid to my brother William, six hundred and twenty dollars; William quit claimed to my father and I went into possession with my father, under an agreement that he, my father, should have half of the proceeds of the farm, after payment of taxes, hired labor, repairs and purchases of tools &c - but he did not execute the deed to me until the sixth day of April 1818 at which time I gave him back, for the sake of quieting his feelings, a lease for life - In paying my brother the above sum (although real estate was then more highly valued than now) I knew I was giving him much more than the value of the land, but the unpleasant situation of the family demanded the sacrifice - I further say - that after deducting the expenses, estimated at a low rate, of conducting the farm, my father's share of the annual produce is not worth more than twenty dollars, nor could he support himself and family without suffering great privations, without my assistance was afforded, which I am very far from being able to render.

Statement, or Declaration, of William White
State of Vermont District and County of Windsor ss. }
I, William White, of Windsor in the County of Windsor and State of Vermont, of the age of seventy-seven years, dispose and say — That in the spring of the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy-six, at Boston in the State of Massachusetts, I enlisted, for a service of one year, into the company of Capt. Farrington in the Regiment commanded by Col. . . . . Sargeant, on the continental establishment, and served as a private, during the year for which I enlisted, in New Jersey and Pennsylvania — was in the battle of White Plains and in other engagements, — and, having served my full term of one year as aforesaid, received an honorable discharge;
In the spring of the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven, at Washington in the State of New Hampshire, I again enlisted, for a service of three years, into the company of Capt. . . . . Scott, in the Regiment commanded by Col. . . . . Gibley, of the Brigade of Gen. Poor, Line of New Hampshire on the continental establishment, and joined the army at Ticonderoga, New York, and was at the taking of Gen. Burgoyne and his army; and in this service also, was a private;
In the campaign of seventeen hundred and seventy-eight,

I served principally in New York and New Jersey. In seventeen hundred and seventy-nine, I went into the Indian country, under Gen. Sullivan, and was honorably discharged in the winter of 1779-80 or early in the spring of the latter year, but which I cannot recollect with certainty;
I further depose and say - that I made application for a pension under the Act of the 18 th March 1818, and received a pension certificate, issued under date of the 26 th day of November 1818, Numbered 4601, enrolling me under the Vermont Agency, upon which certificate I received one (and as I now think but one) payment, and was then dropped, or stricken from the Roll for the cause, as I supposed, that my property excluded me from the provisions of the law; I have since applied to be reinstated upon the Pension List, and have transmitted, at different times, two sets of documents to the War Office, where the same are supposed to be on file; which application has hitherto been unsuccessful - I further depose and say that, at the time I made application under the Act of the 18 th March 1818, and for twentyfive years prior to that date, I was, and ever since have been, and still am, a resident in said Windsor - I further say that the certificates of discharge from service herein - before mentioned have been lost - I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or annuity, except the present, and declare that my name is not on the Roll of any Agency of any State except as aforesaid -

Under the act of the 6th of April, 1838, entitled "An act directing the transfer of money remaining unclaimed by certain Pensioners, and authorizing the payment of the same at the Treasury of the United States," The child n of W m White, — a Pensioner on the Roll of the Bellows Falls, V t Agency, at the rate of Eighty — Dollars and — Cents per annum, under the law of the 7 th June 1832, has been paid at this Department, from the 1 st of August 1838, to the 24 th August, 1838, the day of his death; there having been a mistake in the former settlement of 10 days.
Respectfully, yours,
Abdoo E. Parris Comptroller.
To the Commissioner of Pensions,
Present.

Reading Vermont Windsor County, March 16. 1839.
Sir,
I send you herewith enclosed, the powers of attorney, and other vouchers of the children of William White, a deceased Pensioner of the United States. These papers were executed at the time they purport, and were intended to have been presented for payment to the Agent, at Bellows Falls Vermont, within ninety days from their date; but the Pension Certificate having been lost, the ninety days expired before it could be found, and at the suggestion of said Agent they are now presented to you with the request, that the Agent of the United States, for paying pensions at Bellows Falls, State of Vermont, may be directed to pay the same. You will perceive that the amount due is but small, and that the heirs, living so very remote from each other, will be put to great expense and inconvenience by having to execute new papers.
You will also return the papers and your decision therewith to me at this place.
I have the honour to be respectfully your obedient Servant

I hereby certify that Carlos Coolidge and Rufus Root Junior, are and since the first day of December last have been, severally, Justices of the Peace within and for the County of Windsor in the State of Vermont, duly appointed and acting under the authority of said State, and to their official acts and attesta- tions full faith and credit are to be given.

Norman Williams.

I, James White, of Windsor in the County of Windsor & State of Vermont, of lawful age, depose and say - that on the 4 th day of April 1816, my brother William White Jun. being the owner of an undivided half of the farm in said Windsor, on which my father, William White, resides, charged by the incumbrance of, which is called, a life lease in favor of said William, I bargained with, and purchased of, my said brother William, his half of s d farm - and on the same 4 th day of April 1816, executed, with my father, notes payable to said William Jun. for consideration for said land, payable in successive years by instalments - These notes I have, some years since, fully paid - At the same time, it was agreed that the land should still remain upon the life lease in my father's favor, in my hands as it had been in those of my brother, but on the condition (established by a verbal stipulation, that has ever since existed,) that I should carry on my half and my father his half at our own equal expense and the nett proceeds to be divided between us - In carrying into effect the foregoing change from my brother to myself, the deeds were not all made on the said 4 th April 1816 - My brother then, however, released said half to my father, in whom the title of record stood until the 6 th April 1818 - the date of my father's deed to me executed in pursuance of the contract above stated, although I entered into possession according to that contract at the time my brother released as aforesaid and paid him the instalments as they became due - Upon my father's deceasing to me in April 1818, I made to him a lease like that my brother had formerly given - Ever since that time, we have conducted the farm together as before stated - I further say, that I have seen and read the declaration.

subscribed and sworn to by my Father, William White, and that the matters therein set forth are, to the best of my knowledge and my belief, truly stated - and I further say that, regarding my father's age - the infirmities of himself and wife - the debts he now owes, and the scantiness of his portion of the nett produce of the land, I cannot hesitate in avowing that it is utterly out of his power to support himself by the and family in comfort by the means in his power to use, and although I am willing to do all I can to aid him in his declining years, still I am not able to do anything more than support myself and my own family - I further say that my father is now indebted to me in about 15 dollars for monies paid by me, to others on his accounts, in small sums, from time to time, - of which a copy is hereto annexed -

We, the undersigned, Iabez Delano and Borchel Bridge, both of Windsor in the County of Windsor and State of Vermont, having been requested to appraise the real and personal estate of William White, of Windsor aforesaid, who is prosecuting his claim to a pension, have examined the premises submitted to us, and state the same, with the valuation annexed, as follows, viz;
We appraise the annual use or product of an undivided half of the farm on which said White lives (after deducting the necessary expenses of carrying on the same) at — — — — — $30
And we appraise, at the sum of one hundred and sixty- nine dollars and fifty  cents , the undivided half of the following articles of personal property, viz;
  2 Horses — — — — — $ 90.00   3 Cows — — — — — 36.00   5 Two-years-old, cattle 45. "   5 yearlings 30 "   22 Sheep 22 "   2 Calves 6 "   4 Hogs 24 "   2 Shoats 5 "   1 Waggon (for two horses) 25 "   1 pair of cart wheels — — — 14 "   2 Harrows — — — — — 5 "   1 Plough — — — — — 5 "   1 gig-waggon — & harness — — — 16 "   1 Sleigh — — — — — $ 323.00 } 338 —   The half — — — — — 15. —   $ 169. 50 
And we add — that we have, for many years, been acquainted with the said William White and his wife Jane — that they are both aged persons — that said White is infirm and unable to labor but little, if any — and, from our knowledge of the farm, of which he attempts to carry on the half, with the fact that he is compelled to cultivate his part with the help of his son, James, or other hired laborers, we say that it is impracticable for him to support himself and family by the products of said farm, nor can he comfortably subsist, without the aid of his relations and friends.

bestowed in either labor or provisions - and we are satisfied that said White cannot maintain himself & family in the enjoyment of the ordinary comforts of life without such aid - and we further say, that we estimate the present annual use or clear product of said White's land at a less sum than we affixed to it by our former appraisal, for the considerations aforesaid, as also because the value of land and its produce has fallen, while labor retains its usual price for a number of past years -

State of Vermont, } On this sixth day of October A. D. 1830, District of Windsor ss. } personally appeared in open Court, being the Probate Court for the district of Windsor, and declared to be a court of record by the Act of the General Assembly of Vermont, constituting Probate Courts, William White, resident in Windsor in said County, aged Seventy five years and six months, who, being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the provision made by the acts of Congress, of the 18 th March 1818, and the 1 st of May 1820; That he, the said William White enlisted for the term of one year, on the — day of March in the year Seventeen hundred and seventy six, in the State of Massachusetts, in the Company commanded by Captain — Farrington, in the Regiment commanded by Colonel — Sargent, and served in said Company and Regiment to the end of the year for which he enlisted; that at the expiration of said term, which ended in the year 1777 he, said White again enlisted for the term of three years, in the Company commanded by Captain — Scott, in the Regiment commanded by Colonel — Gilley, in Gen. Poor's Brigade, in the line of the State of New Hampshire, on the Continental establishment; that he continued to serve in the said Corps until the latter part of the winter of 1779 or early in the Spring of 1780, which the declarant cannot distinctly recollect, when he was discharged from the Service in the State of Connecticut — that his name has been placed on the pension list, and dropped therefrom on account of his property. — — — — — And in pursuance of the act of the 1 st of May 1820, I do solemnly swear, that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18 th 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 & naval Service of the United States in the Revolutionary war" passed on the 18 th 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; — That is to say
The half of the use or product of the farm on which I live.
The undivided half of the following articles of personal property and farming utensils, viz;
2 horses, — 3 cows, — 5 two years-old, cattle, — 5 yearlings, — 22 Sheep, — 2 calves, — 4 hogs, — 2 Shoats, — 1 waggon for 2 horses, — 1 pair of cart wheels, — 2 harrows, — 1 plough, — 1 gig-waggon & harness, — 1 Sleigh. —
That I am unable to state what changes have occurred in my personal property between the date of my first Schedule and declaration in 1818, and the date of my declaration made in 1829 and now on file in the pension office — That since the exhibition of the Schedule & declaration last made by me (1829) aforesaid, the following changes have been made in my personal property, viz: — 1 pair of cattle sold in August 1829 — to Bezaleel Bridger — for sixty nine dollars — of which my part (the half) has been disposed of, in payment of so minute sums in amount as to render it impracticable for me to state or prove them — they have been laid out for necessary expenses for myself & family. —
That since the 18 th of March 1818, the following changes have been made in my real property, viz;
I have deeded to my son, James White, an undivided half of the farm on which I reside, by deed dated the 6 th April 1818 — This deed was executed in pursuance of a contract of sale made about two years before the execution of the deed between my said son James and my son William White Jr. to whom I sold (in 1814) the same premises — and by said contract James purchased P er William out, William now conveyed to me in April 1816, and said James did not receive his deed until as above mentioned, altho. at the time P er William reconveyed as aforesaid, P er James with myself gave our joint notes to P er William, which notes have been since wholly paid by said James. —
On the 4 th January 1819, my son James and myself by deed of that date, conveyed to John Person, for the consideration of ninety dollars, between nine and ten acres of the farm.
My half of said consideration money was long since expended in small sums for my support, of which however, I cannot,

at this time, give any account, my memory being much impaired. On the 24 th day of May 1827, I deeded to my daughter, Hannah White, single woman, aged 46 years, the remaining undivided half of the farm — Said Hannah has served in my family during her life, except an absence of about six months; — I executed said deed to her as a remuneration for her services, and that, after my decease, she might not be thrown upon the world for charity. — I am, by occupation, a husbandman, but from my age and ill health, am unable to labor, and am obliged to conduct my part of the farm by hired labor — My wife Jane is about 64 years old — her health is very bad; she being afflicted with a cancer and other ills, has become so infirm as to be unable to labour & seldom to go out of the house. —
I have no others in my family except Hannah above mentioned, whose health is poor, although she is our main dependance for conducting the domestic concerns. —
