On the twenty sixth  seventh day of September A. D. 1821 personally appeared in open Court, being constituted a Court of record by statute of said State, for said County of Cheshire, Phillip W. Tibbey, aged sixty years, of Newport in said County, who, first being 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 March 1818, and the first of May 1820. That he the said Phillip W. Tibbey enlisted for the term of three years on the tenth day of April A. D. 1777, in the State of Connecticut, in the company, commanded by Capt. Thomas Abbey, in the regiment, commanded by Colonel Samuel Willis, in the line of the State of Connecticut, on the Continental establishment. That he continued to serve in said corps until the tenth day of April A. D. 1780, when he was discharged from said service in Morristown in the State of New Jersey. That he was in several skirmishes, particularly in those which preceded the taking of Fort Montgomery, but in no regular or important battle.
And in pursuance of the act of the first of May 1820, I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States, on the eighteenth day of March one thousand eight hundred and eighteen, 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 provision of an act 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 one thousand eight hundred and eighteen; 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 herunto annexed and by me subscribed (which schedule now made out and valued with a design to make an application at a preceeding term, but my property has not materially altered in value since, but where altered has diminished in value.
That he is by occupation, a Farmer or Husbandman owning no real estate, that I have lately been failing in bodily strength and ability to labor, that my constitution is broken.
My family consists of my wife Sally Tribbey aged fifty two, who is weakly and infirm, and is not able to do but little labor. Austin L. Tribbey aged sixteen. Daniel L. Tribbey aged fourteen and Lucy C. Tribbey aged twelve, all of whom are weakly and not capable to labor as children of their age generally are. I would further state that I once possessed a small tenement, but have been under the necessity to dispose of it to pay my debts, which I was before permitted by creditors to keep in consequence of the credit my former pension gave me.

Affidavit

We the subscribers on oath depose and say that for several years past we have been acquainted with Philip W. Ribbley of Newport, and his circumstances. He has always supported the character of an honest & industrious citizen, but by reason of a large family & unfortunate incidents he has always been in indigent circumstances, and has occasionally been relieved by his friends & neighbors previous to Jan'y 1818. On the 11 th of 2 d Jan'y his house took fire and was consumed with nearly all his circumstances effects. He & his family narrowly escaped by fleeing in the dead of a severe cold winter night nearly naked; and before they were relieved they were so frozen as to to have as yet wholly recovered. The benevolence and assistance of his neighbors enabled him, with his former pension money, & credit he obtained to build a small house and furnish it. He is now considerably indebted and owes as he says and we believe the sum of $393.15. which if called upon now to pay as he probably will be would take nearly all his property, and reduce him to very indigent circumstances.

I further state that I owe to the several persons the several sums affixed to their names, more than is owing to me.
