That he continued to draw his pension until the act of Congress was passed which prohibited pen- sions receiving a certain amount of property from receiving their pension. That after the passage of the said act, he did not apply for his pension and has not since drawn it, as he was unable to make oath that his property did not exceed the amount specified by the Law. That he served in the Revolutionary Army as a private in Captain Alden's Company of Infantry in Colonel Samuel B. Webb's regiment the evidence of which is now in the War Depart- ment. That he is now seventy five years of age, and that he resides in Canandaigua in the County of Ontario in the State of New York, and that he resided in the same place when he first made application for a pension.
