Frederick Piper, in Col. Paul D Dudley Sargeant's Regiment and served my country faithfully during the whole of that year. I afterwards served as a Lieutenant in Col. Dyer's Regiment, eight months, I was in the battle of White Plains and several others of lesser note for which services a pension has been granted me and a certificate duly issued dated February 6 th 1819 and numbered 6596. I was in the old French war as a Soldier in the years 1759 & 1760
And 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.
Zachary Thayer Sworn to and declared, on the 19th day of July A. D. 1820 before James Wood Judge of C.P. Com. Pleas for So. Circuit
Horatio Forster Clerk of the said Court do hereby certify, that the foregoing oath, and the schedule hereto annexed, are truly copied from the record of said Court; and I do further certify, that it is the opinion of the said Court, that the total amount in value, of the property exhibited in the aforesaid schedule, is one thousand one hundred and fifteen dollars and seventy five cents, in its particular situation the interest thereon would not exceed forty dollars . In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and affixed the seal of the said Court, on this eighteenth day of July 1820 Horatio Forster Clerk.

A Schedule of the property of Zacher Thayer, of Randolph, in the County of Norfolk and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, an applicant can't  can't for a pension under the Act of Congress of May 1 st 1820, necessary clothing beds & bedding excepted.
Real Estate
A small house and barn much decayed and about forty acres of land, the income or rent of which would not exceed forty dollars per annum _____ 40
Personal Estate
3 Cows 80 2 young cattle 8 4 Hens 8 Several small farming utensils 5 Several necessary articles of household furniture 35
My occupation has been farming, but age and infirmity now prevent my laboring. I have in my family a wife aged seventy four years very infirm and feeble and two grandchildren, one fifteen and the other thirteen years old whose parents are dead, and who depend on me for their support and education. I have about sixty nine dollars due me more than I owe - a considerable portion of which is doubtful debt. The age and infirmity of myself and wife renders us unable to do any thing for our support and the income of my small place is quite insufficient to support us - and if the Government would grant me a Pension I would thank my God and my Country for it as long as I live
