I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18th of March 1818 and that I have not since that time by gift sale or in any other 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 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 Schedule of the whole estate of John Carpenter real and personal.

My family consists of myself and an aged wife, I live upon rented land as tenant at will, on the 18 th of March 1818, I owned no land and rather less of personal property than I now own, what property I did then own, was of the same character of that specified in my foregoing schedule, and at no point of time, since the 18 th of March 1818 was I the owner of more property than that which I now own, and I have used it from time to time only in a common family way; I sworn to and declared on the first day of November 1830 before the court aforesaid.

I am inclosing a letter I sent to the War Dept. and The Adjutant General advised that I write you about it.
We had of John Carper His name appears under the heading "A List of Soldiers of the Virginia Line on Continental establishment who have recd Certificates for the balance of their full pay agreeable to an act of Assembly passed November session 1781" which shows that the sum of £ 36 was recd by one Nat Ashby - date when recd not shown - no further record."
a neg. An B. B. Smith
do you have any Braselton Brazelton Brazelton or Brazleton or Brazzleton on your books from S. C (Rutledge) W. C. (later) (Tennessee) or Frederick Co Md. - on your books.
Was there any grant to a William Brazelton (or other spelling) of Jefferson Co Tenn. for Kings Mt. Mtn.

service. I think he lived near Guilford court House (now Greensboro NC) during war - at new Gardens on Deep River.
a Georgia "Roster of Rev. Soldiers" names Jacob Braselton or I. but some dispute it. and Isaac Brantley of Frederick co and was in Col. Bakers division.
Wm Jacob & Isaac were brothers and they had one Bro John killed by Indians in Kentucky on Bear Grass Creek. & his sister Mrs Elizabeth Williams was rescued with her babe by Clarke. but family tradition is all of this last I have found, but suppose that is not in your work.
The records of these Carpers and Brazeltons (etc) is very much desired by a very large number of descendants.
Of whom should I inquire for the last address of Isaac Brazelton enlisted Civil War Madison Ind., and much later lived at Santa Ana California.
I thank you
