Benja Bennet 's dep o

I Benjamin Bennet of Sterling in the County of Windham and State of Connecticut aged 43 years (son of W m Bennet an applicant for a pension) do testify & say that in the year 1820 my father having been dropt from the pension list, and having no means of supporting himself, except a tract of poor land of about 18 acres, & some few articles of personal estate contained in a former schedule of his, I came to said Sterling for the purpose of taking care of him & my mother; that from that period down to the present time I have taken care of and supported my father & mother; that my father during all s d term has been in feeble health & unable to do any thing of value towards his support; his mother has enjoyed better health until recently she has become quite infirm; that it has been justly worth the sum of $52, annually, to maintain and take care of his said parents during said term of 8 years, and for about three years last past, at which time his father had a paralytick shock, it has been worth considerably more; that the yearly rent or value of said real estate has not exceeded the sum of $10- and but for the aid furnished by this deponent, his said father & mother must have been supported by publick charity for, at least, five or six years past, and are now actually dependent on publick or private charity for their support, said land having been conveyed to this deponent in part payment for the support thus furnished. The consideration mentioned in the deed of s d land ($150.) is the full value of it & probably more than it could have been sold for to any other person. And this deponent further says that he has never received any other compensation, in any way for s d support or aid in relation to it, except the small amount derived from the cows, swine & sheep killed & used in the family; beside which amount, together with the value of said real estate, there is left still justly due to this deponent, on account of s d support, more than $200.— And further this deponent saith not.

That W m Bennet has been in feeble health during the term of eight years & able to labour but very little, & has been supported & taken care of together with his wife by Benj a Benjamin; that in my judgment it has been justly worth, at least, the sum of $52, annually to take care of them, & for some years past it has been worth more, & there can be no doubt but without the aid furnished by Benj a , the W m William Bennet must have been supported by the town for a number of years past. That the yearly value or rent of said land has not been more than $10, per year. That I have seen the affidavit of Benj a Bennet concerning the support of said land, & am of opinion that it contains a just & fair statement of the facts as they exist, & that he is a man who sustains a fair character for integrity.
