I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18 th day of Mar. 1818 and that I have not since that time by gift, sale or in any way disposed of my property or any part thereof with intent thereby to so 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 & naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war, passed the 18 th day of March 1818. And that I have not nor has any person for me any property or securities, contracts or debts due to me nor have I any income or property other than what is contained in the schedule annexed.

Plaintiff, Representation in Congress being duly sworn, says that Frederick Stull, an old and full man now present, who has just taken an affidavit that he lived in Capt John Beery, Company E Penna Regt" is the same Identical Frederick Stull, who on the 22 nd Jany 1827 filed in the Court of Com- mon pleas of West er County his declaration of his Revolutionary services, accompanied by a schedule of his property - which declaration & schedule was written by this deponent, and in which, Captain "Beery" is written Captain "Berry" that a copy of this declaration & schedule, duly attested was presented by deponent at the Pension office in the during the session of Congress of 1827. It and upon its being adopted in sufficient to authorize a certificate of Pension - the deponent brought the cap before Congress by a resolution - the deponent always understood & believed that the individual called Frederick Stull named in the law of 28 th May 1830 was the same individual whose case he had brought before Congress as above stated. As a further

means of identifying the individual defendant states that he sent to James being and procured a copy of the "Apostasy" of said. Still, which he presumes is on file, with the papers of the case.

I enclose an additional deposition of Miss Hall & also my own deposition, which I believe will be satisfactory, unless indeed it should be turn out that there were two predicaments  predicaments  the  the  predicaments applicants - which I can hardly believe. In the deposition of the 1 st May 1830, written by me the Capt. is called "Deering" & giving the  name - has, somewhat to matter how, but soon, to the manner of pronunciation of an April German, who speaks English imperfectly -
