Joseph Pount, aged Seventy nine Years resident in said County, who being first duly sworn according to Law doth on his oath declare that he served in the Revolutionary war as follows.
I enlisted as a Soldier in the Revolutionary war on or about the first day of February, seventeen hundred seventy six, Captain Titus Watsons company, Col. Charles Burrill Regiment in the Connecticut line for the term of One Year, and joined the Northern Army in Canada near Dubuque, and was in said Army in their retreat to Mount Independence, near Ticonderoga, and where I faithfully served the term of twelve months, and was honorably discharged, as may appear by my statement, heretofore sent to the Secretary of War, Dated March twenty eighth day, eighteen hundred eighteen for which I received a pension certificate, No. 2-868 dated twenty fourth day of September, eighteen hundred eighteen. I further certify that from my Youth, I have worked at the Taylors trade, but am not able to follow that business at present, nor have been for some Years, by reason of the failure of sight, also I have lost the use of my fore finger, on my right hand, and I am so infirm by reason of a Disorder on my lungs, attended with a sore cough, by turns that I am able to do but little business, especially if

I take bold, I have a wife aged twenty five Years. She is very feeble, not able to take care of her household business for some Years past, and is now under the Doctors care, and has been for the Year past.
I have but one child that now lives with me - my Youngest Daughter, aged thirty seven Years. She has always lived with me and has been my assistant, in the Post Office, eighteen Years, and takes care of my family. And I do solemnly swear I was a resident citizen of the United States, on the eighteenth day of March, eighteen hundred eighteen, and that I have not since that time, by gift sale or in any manner disposal of my property, except in the following instances. Vii It will be remembered that at the time of making my Schedule, Dated the fifth day of July eighteen hundred twenty, I stated that I was indebted to sundry persons, the sum of four hundred fifty one Dollars, and fifteen cents, which I was unable to pay, without selling real estate, I therefore sold a piece of land, to Mr. Asa Ditchon, for the sum of two hundred eighty Dollars, and applied it towards the payment of my Debts, and also I have become indebted to my Daughter, for her services in my family, and Post Office for a number of Years past, as stated above. I have therefore to compensate her, recently Deeded to her thirty two acres of land, which may appear by said Deeds, I have copied and sent herewith, and I further declare, that I have not, nor has

any person in trust for me, any property or secured contracts or Debts, due to me, nor have I any income other than what is contained, in the Schedules annexed, and by me subscribed, except the avails of the Post Office, which will amount on an average to about fifteen Dollars per Quarter which will barely compensate, for my trouble, for the Mail arrives twice every Day -

I have Sold a part of my Land to pay my Creditors in part the rest of my land generally is unproductive and would rent for only a Small Sum. I have a Small house one Story high and much decayed my Barn and out Buildings are old and Poor they were built before the Revolution War and as my name has heretofore been on the Pension Roll this is to intreat you to enroll it again if you can consistent with the Duties of your Office.
