It is stated in the proceedings that these lands were sold, subject to the "life lease" of Hart and wife, the persons whom the claimant is under obligation to support for life - Query. Whether he has not secured a residence for himself? the lease is not exhibited.
The affidavits of Plaintiffs and others.
David G McCloud's claim was for medicine and medical services rendered from July 1818. till Sept r 1823. $86. 96. including $10 cash lent - the remainder was for money lent at different times thereafter including interest on the notes he took. Thinks the whole was applied to the use of the claimants family.
Cyrus Adams states that his claim was for goods had from his store, while doing business on his own account and afterwards from the firm of Adams & Liffingwell, all contracted from 19 th Feb. 1817. till 16 th Nov. 1824. Sunday payments were made by claimant and the notes frequently renewed from time to time - the articles were delivered in small quantities, and he really believes were exclusively

applied to the claimants use - the first settlement was made in April 1819. for $90.32. so that a very small part of this claim was contracted previous to March 1818. -
Wesley Perkins testifies to the claim of Lester Leach a son of the claimant, (at present 500 miles from his father) Deponent lives near claimant - was present when the settlement took place between said Lester and his father - the amount due him was about $100 for personal labor after he became of age, money lent, a yearling bull, and wood - knows the son performed the labor, and delivered the wood - settlement took place in Oct 1824.
This closes the evidence respecting the sale of the real estate. From which it appears that not more than 80 or 90 dollars at most of $710.03. were contracted previous to March 1818.

See Copies certified By H. Horford Esq.

I Cyrus Adams of Woodstock in the County of Rutland and State of Vermont of lawfull age do upon testify and say.
That on the sixteenth day of August 1824 I recovered two Judgments against Moses Leach of Woodstock and before Issac Clark Esq. a Justice of the peace for this County, on two notes of hand against the said Moses, one for the sum of ninety one dollars and eighty one cents damages and the other for fifty two dollars and seventy four cents damages upon which I afterwards took out Executions for said damages and the costs taxed by the Justice being one dollar and seventy six cents each beside the said Executions and afterwards, to wit, on the seventh day of October 1824 caused the same to be extended & levied on the lands of the said Moses - as particularly described and mentioned in the Copies of the deputy Sheriff Hasford Nos 4. and 6 - and the same was appraised and set off to me in discharge of said Executions and all costs. I further testify and say that "the manner in which the above said debts, originated on account of which judgment was obtained and Execution issued," as above, was as follows, to wit on the 20 th of April 1819 the said Moses was indebted to this deponent as a balance due him from the said Moses on book account for merchandise for the use of the family of the said Moses from the 19 th day of February 1817 to the above said date in the sum of ninety dollars and thirty two cents at which time at which time the said account was, by us, liquidated - And on the 22 nd day of January A.D. 1822 the said Moses was indebted to this deponent as a balance due him on the settlement of book accounts for like merchandise as above had by the said Moses of this deponent after the 20 th of April 1819 until that time in the further sum of one hundred and six dollars and eighteen cents, at which time the said accounts were again liquidated by us - And on a like settlement as above made by us on the 21 st of June 1823 the said Moses was indebted to this deponent to balance

book accounts for merchandise as above in the further sum of fifty four dollars and ninety two Cents and in the same manner for leather for his family's use and other small articles of merchandise on the 4 th day of June 1824 in the further sum of four dollars and twenty five cents, making in the whole the sum of two hundred fifty five dollars and sixty seven Cents. I further testify that at the time of the said settlements aforesaid the said Leach executed to me his respective notes of hand for the said balances above mentioned, but that the said notes have been sundry times renewed and new notes taken varying the above sums, and the number of said notes, and also that sundry payments have been made by the said Leach to this deponent in personal property and money on the said notes, so that the sum due this deponent on account of the said balances at the time of taking the judgments above mentioned (16. Aug. 1824) was the sum of one hundred & forty four dollars, fifty four cents, only including interest to that date, and the whole had been consolidated into two notes upon which the said judgments was recovered; but at what time the said payments was made to this deponent by the said Leach, this deponent is not able to say as the old notes were given up at or on the receipt of the new ones and probably destroyed.
This deponent further testifies that he is one of the firm of Adams & Leffingwell, and that on the 16. th day of August 1824 aforesaid the said firm obtained two judgments in their favour against the said Leach before the said Clark justice as aforesaid, one for the sum of eighty dollars and ninety two cents, and the other for thirty eight dollars and seventy two cents besides the costs in said suits upon which executions was taken out as above and levied on the real estate of the said Leach on the 7 th day of October 1824 as particularly expressed in the said Sheriff Hayford's certified copies.

No. 5. 87, which said judgments were obtained upon two Notes of hand which were executed to the said firm by the said Moses for goods and merchandise by the said Moses had and received of the said firm from the fourteenth fourteenth day of May 1823, to the fourth day of June 1824, — And that afterwards to wit on the 29 th day of November A.D. 1824 the said firm obtained on other judgments on book accounts in their favour against the said Moses before the said Clark justice as aforesaid for the further sum of fifty four dollars and seventy six cents, for goods & merchandise had by the said Moses from the first day of September 1824 to the 16 th day of November in the same year, upon which an Execution was taken out & levied upon the real Estate of the said Moses as specified in the certified Copy of the said Sheriff's Return No. 9.
This deponent further testifies and says that the above said two judgments in his favour and the above said three judgments in favour of the firm of Adams & Liffingwell upon which the Executions aforesaid issued and which has been levied upon the real estate of the said Moses, have all originated from the balances due as above stated on a merchants books for merchandise delivered to the said Moses on and from the aforesaid 19 th day of February 1827 down to and including the aforesaid 16 th day of November 1824, by this deponent and by him and his partner Liffingwell, that the same is contained in a great variety of charges on the books of this deponent, and of the firm for almost eight years, and is principally in staple articles for a family's use and very few articles of clothing. And this deponent has reason to believe as does verily believe, that the same "were applied to the exclusive use and benefit of the said Moses, in the sickness and health of his said family as they were delivered in small quantities and such as are usually called for, for family's use in some circumstances — And further (Yours Affectionately This deponent saith not.

Interest on the above
On the 7 th of June 1824 Moses Leach gave me his note for the above account and the interest thereon then amounting to the sum of Eighty-seven dollars & thirty eight Cents which included interest to that date - and afterwards, to wit, on the 11 th day of August 1824 I recovered judgment on the same for the sum of Eighty eight dollars & forty four Cents damages besides the costs on said suit. in my own name & favour against the said Moses -
I further State and say that about the first of August 1823 and the first of November 1823 I loaned to Moses Leach, the pecuniary sums are not at this moment any for the reason that on the 7 th day of May 1824 I took his note for the same and the sum then amounted including interest to that date to the sum of seventy three dollars and sixty four Cents. The reason why
the above sums cannot be exactly recollected is that the amount was kept on a mere memorandum which on a settlement, and note given, was not perused
I further say that afterwards, to wit, on the 11 th day of August 1824 I obtained a judgment on the note last above described in my own name and favour against the said Moses Leach for the sum of seventy four dollars and eighty six cents damages besides costs.
I further State and say that about the first of July 1824 I loaned to the said Moses Leach about seventy one dollars in money and on the seventh day of May in the same year I took his note for the same which then with the interest amounted to the sum of seventy three dollars

seventh day of May in the same year I gave his note for the sum which then with the interest amounted to the sum of seventy three dollars On which I afterwards on the 16 th day of Augt 1824 obtained a judgement in my own name and favor against the said Mose for the sum of seventy four dollars & seven tenths cents damages beside costs.
I David G. McClure of Granville in the County of Washington and State of New- York of lawful age, being duly sworn do depose and say.
That the statement herein before given above commencing with my account against Mose Leach of Middletown in the County of Rutland and State of Vermont from the 13 th day of July 1818 at which time the account commenced and ending with the statement of three notes on which I have obtained judgement as above stated, is a true and correct statement of my due and against the said Mose, and the fore- going statement is a true and correct statement of the manner in which my several debts originated an account of which judgement was obtained as above stated and on all of which Execution has been issued, and also a statement as to the time and manner in which the several debts originated, and was contracted and the articles and the amount of them, I further say I have I believe I have reason to believe that the whole amount and all and singular the above stated articles were applied to the exclusive use and benefits of the said Mose Leach and that I have reason to believe and do believe that they were indispensably necessary to the subsistence of the said Mose & his family.

on which I have obtained Judgment as above stated. Is a true and correct statement of my claim against the said Mose, and the foregoing statement is a true and correct statement of the manner in which my several debts originated, an amount of which Judgment was obtained as above stated and on all of which Execution has been issued, and also a statement as to the time and manner in which the several debts originated, and was contracted and the articles and the amount of them. I further say that I believe I have reason to believe that the whole amount and all and singular the above stated articles were applied to the exclusive use and benefit of the said Mose, and that I have reason to believe and do believe that they were indispensably necessary to the subsistence of the said Mose & his family.
I further say that I did often and at different times call on the said Mose for the payment of the above said demands, before the suits on which I obtained Judgments as above stated were brought, and that at the time there was no other way within my knowledge or belief that I could have either secured or obtained payment on the said demands above stated than the one pursued as hereafter mentioned. I further testify and say that on the 7 th day of October 1824 I obtained payment and satisfaction for the above said Executions, by land (to the amount of about twenty six acres) being set off to me by the Sheriff's Deputy H.

STATE OF VERMONT, } County of Rutland, ss. }
ON this 9 th day of June 1825 personally appeared before the County court for said county of Rutland in open court, (said court being a court of record, agreeably to the laws of this state, having the power of fine and imprisonment, &c.) Moses Leach resident in said county, aged 64 years, who 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 18th March, 1818, and the 1st May, 1820, that he, the said Leach enlisted for the term of nine months on the 10th day of March in the year 1778 in the state of Vermont , in the company commanded by Captain Trimbull in the regiment commanded by Colonel Green in the line of the state of Vermont the continental establishment; that he continued to serve in the said corps until Dec 1778 or Jan 1779 when he was discharged from the said service, near Westport in the state of New York that his name has been placed on the pension list, and dropt therefrom on account of his property.
And in pursuance of the act of the 1st May, 1820, I do solemnly swear, that I was a resident citizen of the United States, on the 18th day of March, 1818; 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 provisions 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 18th day of March, 1818; 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 hereto annexed, and by me subscribed.
6 sheep, 10 old ploughs, 1 old Drey, 1 old harp, 1 new harp, 1 broken fanning mill, 1 broken stove, 1 iron kettle, 18 spindles, 1 tree kettle, 10 shirts, 1 pair flat irons, 1 pair stove tongs, 6 old beehives, 2 tubs, 1 churn, 2 pails, 2 old tubs, 7 old chairs, 1 old stand, 2 old pine chests, 1 chest, 5 milk pails, 3 tin cups, 1 board, 1 tree pot, 1 tinker's work & cream cup, 6 cups & saucers, 1 sythe, 1 tin canister, 8 plates, 3 plates, 1 old loom & apparatus, 1 chain, 1 old saddle, 1 old bridle, 1 corv, 2 pipes, 1 ax, 1 pitchfork, 1 pot, 2 old spinning wheels, 1 reel, 7 knives & forks & 2 earthen pots
That since the exhibition of my first schedule, the following changes have been made in my property. 1. of the articles mentioned in my first schedule the following have been disposed of by sale to wit, one cow sold to Preserved Fish Esq of New Haven in the month of March 1820 for the sum of about thirty dollars and the proceeds thereof applied to respect discharge a debt I owed him for money I had some years before borrowed of him & which I had applied to the discharge of my debts in part & for what remains indebted to him before my first application, one other cow sold to Dr. Edward Burty in the year 1823 for which given notes then to be paid accumulated to one special sum therefor in the following manner to wit $10.00 by giving new notes on his book account against me in part to discharge the balance due him for articles of household furniture for the use of my family and the remaining forty dollars due of the said notes in a note against Jeremiah Lippincott to whom I was indebted to the amount of about nine dollars for blacksmith work that said Lippincott had

done for me before that time & for my own personal use. And the remainder of said forty dollars the said Lippincott paid to John Newland Esq in part for a demand I had owed him for a long time & which I believe was for money borrowed of him. And the other Cost Hotel to Period Mr Newland for the sum of $55. in the year 1822 and paid to me $10. in his the said Newland Account against me for blacksmith work which he had done for me before that time and which was due to him for work done for my own personal use, thirty five dollars the said Newland paid to Cyrus Allen on my Account the said Allen had against me for Merchants Goods which I had for my family. are during a part of a long series of sickness of my son Cyrus who is since deceased. And the remaining ten dollars has been paid to me best in what manner I cannot now remember as at that time all my business was transacted & done by my son now deceased The sum of about 190 dollars mentioned in my first Schedule as due me in Cattle a good four years thereafter was also a long time before it was ever compounded and disposed of by the said Cyrus deceased. But as I was then almost entirely unable to believe & wholly unfit to transact any business. and the business being wholly done by him without my paying any attention to it it is out of my power to give any specific account of it, only about $50. of it was paid to one Gibson who has a long time since been gone, and whom I cannot find out, and who believed for me to enable me to support my family and which was paid him for wages which was then due him for his labor. And that the following articles mentioned in my first schedule has been worn

out. died. lost. broken or rendered useless to us. one old horn died some years ago, and one other got lost on a journey 250 miles from home never found away & lost. 4 Sheep killed & consumed in the family. 3 Suckers of beer all dead, one old weggyn- woman out. one old Skirt do, one clump Skirt do. one head barrow do, one old hogshead fallen down 1 iron kettle broken, 1 Spade do, 1 ft. audiron do. 4 bowls. do, 2 pails do, 8 old chairs do, 10 old pins Chest do. Three baskets worn out & mittens broken 1 old tin Cup do, 1 Coffee pot do, 6 Cops & Saucers do 1 Sickle do 1 Spade do, 2 Tumblers do, 2 foot Glass do, 16 plates do, 2 old Saddle worn out. one axe worn out these readings all used for provision for the family and three Sheep & lambs. and all the interest of the 9 Sheep & lambs mentioned in the first schedule except the 6 above mentioned are stashed & are lost & have been killed & used for my family leaving me only 6 at this time I further say that of the money had of David G. Wilson mentioned in his affidavit 55 dollars of it or about that sum I paid to Stephen W. Dena for his endorsing a note for me paying it of long standing where I had been for a long time indebted and being poor was compelled to obtain the equity and the remainder, not having the amount the money myself I am unable to give any specific account of only I know a considerable part of it has been accounted for in large interest paid to him which under my circumstances I could not avoid I further say that I have

not needed any declaration under the Act of May 1820 except the one made by me on the 10 th Dec r 1823. And the reason why he has not before this time made his application to be restored to the previous list is because his property what he had in possession was encumbered by his debts which had been contracted before his first application & which he has been obliged to contract during the sickness of his family my occupation is that of a farmer but I am afflicted with the rheumatism and unable to do much very little labor. That I have a wife named Mary aged 61 of very full health. I have one daughter named Nancy aged 28 years health not very good
