State of New York County of Erie, ss. 3
On this ninth day of October 1824, personally appeared in open Court being a court of Record of the said County of Erie, Crook Kellogg resident of the said County aged sixty two years and upwards, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth in his oath make the following declaration in obedience to a requisition from the War Department a copy of which is hereto annexed and in order to obtain the provision made by the acts of the 18 th March 1818, and the first of May 1820, that as near as he can recollect without written memorandums of which he has kept none, and has none, the following statement embraces all the dispo- sition and alterations which have been made or taken place in his real or personal estate since the 18 th of March 1818, to wit that he has not had any free hold estate whatever since that time, but that he did on the said 18 th of March 1818 hold an Article of a piece of land in said County of Erie, which said Article or Contract for the purchase of said piece of land expired in October of that year, at which time he obtained a new Article from the Holland Land Company a copy of which is hereto annexed, by the terms of which last mentioned Article he is to have a deed of said piece of Land on the payment of $204, with inter- est in six yearly installments, on which Article he has only paid one dollar, and it is now legally forfeited and will wholly expire this present month and as he has no possible means of making even the necessary payment to obtain a new Article, and as lands have greatly depreciated in value since that time and the interest has much increased the original sum he considers it to be of little value at this time. That the following alterations have taken place in his personal estate since, he has lost one horse, one Cow and two calves all of which have died; one horse that he has purchased since that time is now worn out and unfit for use - One Colt, two Calves and one ewe sheep and a Lamb he has sold to his son Ezra Kellogg to pay him for labor which he has done for him this deponent since he arrived at the age of twenty one years; one Cow, one sheep and a hog he has sold to Levi Blake to pay him for work done on his dwelling house; and this last spring since exhibiting to the War Department a schedule of his property he gave to his son James who is under the age of twenty one years, one Colt at the time it was foaled and a Calf and one sheep - that the reason why he did not exhibit a schedule of his property prior to the passage of the Act of the 1 st March 1823 was because he did not wish to be a burthen to his Country when it was possible for him to live without its assistance; and the pecuniary aid which he had already received, together with the assistance which he received from his children induced him to hope that he could make out money enough to retain the Article of his land, and by the aid and assistance of his children draw a support from that sufficient for himself and his wife; but his increasing infirmity and her sickness together with his loss of property and the assistance of his children who are now mostly of age, and those who are not well in a few months, has caused him to despair of a comfortable support without aid from his Country - and that the reason why he has not sooner answered the requisition from the War Department

it became that at every term of this hereditary Court since he received the same until the present he has been so weak out of health as to be unable to attend Court & Subscribed in open Court Enoch Kellogg Octob 9th 1824. Isaac A. Barker att.
