I am in advanced age, I have a breach and am unable to labour sufficient to support myself, I am a husbandman by occupation. I have no family - I obtained a pension for my services in the Revolutionary War as by my certificate No. 5038 will appear. Before I obtained my Pension I was occasionally assisted by the Town not being then able to support myself by my labour wholly. After I obtained the Pension I was by great prudence able to lay by a part of my Pension money and put it out on Interest, fearing my Pension might be stopped, and $126.17 mentioned in my first Schedule was wholly money which I saved of my Pension, but which since I was struck off the list in March 1820 I have been obliged to expend the whole of it for my support for Cloathing and for expenses to two Physicians. I have not a dollar of it left - I am now supported almost wholly by charity.  Paul Warner
Salmon Maddison Esq. Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas for said County of Hampshire, do hereby certify, that it appears to the satisfaction of the Court that the said Paul Warner did serve in the Revolutionary War, as stated in the preceding declaration against the common enemy, for the term of nine months under one engagement on the Continental establishment. I also certify that the foregoing oath and the Schedule thereto annexed, 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 is five Dollars and seventy nine Cents.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said Court on this twenty fourth day of March 1823.
S. Stoddard Esq. Clerk of said Court of Common Pleas
