Hays, in the Regiment commanded by Colonel Irvine, in the line of the state of Pennsylvania, on the Continental establishment. That he continued to serve in said Company until the early part of the summer 1777. (Being some more than twelve months) When he was discharged from the said service in Philadel- phia in the state Pennsylvania That he was in the Battle of Three Rivers and that has no other evidence now in his power of his said service except the testimony of Hugh Drinnen and Thomas McTearney, which is on file in the war department and as taken and certified for the purpose of obtaining a pension for him some time last fall. 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 An thousand eight hundred & eighteen; And that I have not since that time by gift, sale or in any manner disposed of any property or any part thereof, with intent thereby 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

services of the United States, in the Revolutionary War," passed on the 18 th day of March 1828. 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 I don't own or possess any kind or species of property either real or personal on earth (necessary clothing and bed excepted) That I was a Tailor by trade, early in life, and farmed it afterwards with my own industry and the labour of my children until about thirteen or fourteen years ago. I received a fall from a horse which injured me very much since which I have not been able to labour at any kind of work even with a needle having partially lost the use of my arms, so as almost to render me incapable of cutting my own provision. My Children are mostly grown, five of them married, And four single, Two boys and Two girls, The girls live with their married sisters, and the two boys work about the country one being a Blacksmith the other a common labourer, And I myself live on the benevolence and hospitality of my children (all of whom are poor) and my friends and acquaintances. The only piece of property which I own on earth is one bed and furniture, which stays at the house of Obadiah Fugue who married one of my daughters and at whose house I mostly make my home
