that his original declaration was made before Judge Hinsley on the Thirteenth day of April 1818; that he is now on the Maine Roll, and that his pension certificate is numbered 9127. And I, the said Chase Page do further solemnly swear, that I was a resident citizen of the United States, on the eighteenth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and eighteen; and that I have not, since that time, by gift, sale, or in any manner whatever, 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 eighteenth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and eighteen; 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.
Chase Page.
The following is a Schedule of my whole Estate and income, necessary clothing and bedding excepted, viz: The right in Equity to sixteen fifty acres of Land, which is mortgaged for more than it is worth, therefore I consider it of no value. One home of the value of fifty Dollars; Two sheep and one lamb, of the value of ten dollars and fifty cents. Two hogs worth six dollars. Old household furniture of the value of fifteen dollars. New are two and eight worth two dollars. I have no debt due me, that can be collected, and I owe as much as two hundred dollars besides the mortgage. The income of the above is not more than the interest of the money I owe. My occupation has been that of a farmer, but from age and infirmity am unable to labor. My family at home consists of myself, my wife aged fifty nine years, able to work but little, and two children that I support one ten years old and the other three years old. Except the foregoing I have no estate or income whatever, besides my necessary living and clothing. Chase Page.
