On this 10 th day of July A.D. 1820 personally appeared before Eben Thatcher a justice of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas for Counties of Lincoln Kennebec & Somerset, being a court of record for said counties proceeding according to the course of the Common law, having original jurisdiction unlimited in amount, keeping a record of their proceedings & having the power of fine & imprisonment - John Miller & John Libby a majority of the Selectmen of the town of Warren in the County of Lincoln within said circuit, & ex officio overseers of the Poor, who being first duly sworn according to law, do on their oaths declare that Samuel Bogues (at present an insane man & wholly destitute of property) did according to the most satisfactory evidence to them furnished - serve in the war of the revolution viz. in the company commanded by Captain Samuel King & Regiment commanded by Colonel Thomas Marshall of the line of the State of Massachusetts upon the Continental establishment for the period of three years - That he is more than sixty years of age - that by reason of his insanity he is unable to take care of himself - or make this application and they therefore as Selectmen of said Town of Warren apply in his behalf & for his use & benefit -
That his original declaration was made before Judge Thatcher on the eighth day of April 1818 - That he is now on the Maine Roll and that his pension certificate is numbered 11.381 - And we the said John Miller & John Libby Selectmen of Warren as aforesaid do

further solemnly swear that said Samuel Bogues was a resident citizen of the United States on the eighteenth day of March one thousand eight hundred & eighteen. That he has not since that time by gift, sale or in any manner whatever according to our best knowledge & belief, disposed of any property with intent thereby so to diminish it as to bring himself 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 on the eighteenth day of March one thousand eight hundred & eighteen and that said Samuel has not, nor has any person in trust for him according to our best information and firm belief any property or securities, contract or debts due to him nor any income whatever other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed & by us subscribed. And this last declaration we feel ourselves justified in making because the said Samuel Bogues has been for many years notoriously destitute of property.
