And in pursuance of the Act of Congress 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 resided in the State of Pennsylvania ever since 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 to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of the Acts 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 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 property real personal or mixed but I have a sickly wife aged seventy one years which is all the family I have and am in indigent circumstances in life and am by occupation a labourer } Andrew Young Sworn and declared in open Court this 7 th day of April 1828 Walter Franklin } Judge of Court
