The undersigned an Inhabitant of Lisbon, in the County of Lincoln and State of Maine, humbly represents, that he served his Country, in the revolutionary War, a much longer time than was required by Congress to entitle him to be placed on the list of Pensioners, that the necessary documents were duly made out and forwarded by Mr. Vose of Augusta, Maine, that he did draw his pension for two years, that his name was then stricken from the list; since which time he has not received his pension; he is induced to offer this petition in hopes again to be placed on the list of pensioners for the following reasons: because, it will be perceived by the documents now in the Secretary's office that he did serve his Country the time required, that he is now poor & needy, being far advanced in life, and having no one to render him any aid, for a long time has by reason of lameness been unable to do any kind of work, and not being the owner of property to more than about eighty dollars. He therefore prays (that, if it is in the power of the Secretary of War to do it) he would again place him on the list of pensioners, that he may receive that assistance from his Country which he thinks himself intitled to, and which he so much stands in need of —

We the Subscribers being a majority of the Selectmen of Lisborn in the County of Lincoln, Maine. do upon Oaths certify and declare, that we are well acquainted with Isaac Whitney, of said Lisborn, an applicant for a Pension. The said Whitney is in our opinion a poor man and destitute of property, other than the article mentioned in his within deposition. We further certify that in our opinion the sale of his property to his son Jonathan Whitney, was fair and bona fide, and was wholly to prevent costs and a sacrifice of property. The said Whitney has always, since our acquaintance with him, sustained a fair character for honesty and truth. he has been a hard working, industrious man and is now part labor, upon which he has heretofore relied for his support and which henceforth depend upon public or private charity for his support. having none of his children or relatives to our knowledge, who are able to support the said Isaac Whitney & his family -
