Proof satisfactory as to sale of Cow to Sturges Penfield in 1820. —
No deed is exhibited to show the conveyance of the 2 acres of land to Cooley, but its value appears to be inconsiderable, from the affidavit of Cooley J. D. Butler, who took 1 and 7/8 th of the same land to pay the trifling sum of $5. 46, the amount due to him, and who proves that he considered this small debt asperate, until it was secured by the sale to him.

The affidavit of Sturges Penfield proves that Isaac Bump gave him his note for $14.85 on the 15 day of March 1820, for goods sold him.
Cyrus Bump, by his affidavit proves that he sold to Isaac Bump $13 worth of grain in 1812. and became his security in two notes to the Treasurer of Rutland of $35 each which in 1818 he had to pay and that he took Isaac Bump's

Note for the same non which suits were brought for which the Land was sold.

ON this 11 th day of June 1825 personally appeared before the County court for said county of Rutland in open court, (said court being a court of record, agreeably to the laws of this state, having the power of fine and imprisonment, &c.) Lemuel Bump resident in said county, aged 64 years, who being duly sworn, according to law, doth, on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the provision made by the acts of Congress of the 18th March, 1818, and the 1st May, 1820, that he, the said Lemuel enlisted for the term of three years on the 11 th day of June in the year 1789 in the state of Vermont in the company commanded by Captain Abel Fuller in the regiment commanded by Colonel Ebenezer D.

York that his name has been placed on the pension list, and dropt therefrom on account of his property.
And in pursuance of the act of the 1st May, 1820, 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.

The land mentioned in my schedule of 26. June, 1820, has been recently set off in execution against me, in favour of James D. Butler & Cyrus Bump, copies of which accompany this. The debt in favor of Mr. Butler, was contracted about twenty years ago, for tools & goods out of his store. The debt in favour of Cyrus Bump was also incurred in 1812 for provisions for my family, to the amount of about thirteen dollars. The remainder was incurred in June & December, 1818, as follows, to wit: I had become bail to the
Treasurer of the County of Rutland, for my son Lemuel Bump, & gave my notes to said Treasurer for about seventy dollars, & procured Ephraim W. Bister, & Cyrus Bump, to sign with me as surety, & the said Cyrus paid said notes for me, at the times above mentioned for which I gave him my notes. The interest & costs due said Cyrus on both debts, make it amount to about one hundred & twenty three dollars. The horse mentioned in said first schedule died in the winter of 1821. One cow I sold to George Fairfield in the fall of 1820, for duping cloth & necessaries out of his store. The bull one calf & swine, I fattened at several times, in 1821, & 1822, & consumed in my family - one calf died. The sheep & lambs, I consumed.

That since the exhibition of my first schedule, the following changes have been made in my property.
The land mentioned in my schedule of 26. June, 1820, has been recently set off in execution against me, in favor of James D. Butlee & Cyrus Bump, copies of which accompany this. The debt in favor of Mr. Butlee, was contracted about ten years ago, for tools & goods out of his store. The debt in favor of Cyrus Bump, was partly incurred in 1812 for provisions for my family, to the amount of about thirteen dollars. The remainder was incurred in June & December, 1818, as follows, to wit: I had become bail to Mr.
Treasurer of the County of Rutland, for my son Lemuel Bump, & gave my notes to said Treasurer for about seventy dollars, & procured Ephraim W. Bister, & Cyrus Bump, to sign with me as surety, & the said Cyrus paid said notes for me, at the times above mentioned for which I gave him my notes; the interest & costs due said Cyrus on both debts, make it amount to about one hundred & twenty three dollars. The horse mentioned in said first schedule died in the winter of 1821. One cow I sold to George Penfield, in the fall of 1820, for drying cloth, & necessaries out of his store. The bull, one calf & swine, I sold at several times, in 1821, & 1822, & consumed in my family - one calf died. The sheep & lambs, I returned to Lucy Wadsworth, of whom I took them to double. The several articles of furniture & tools mentioned in my former schedule, & not enumerated in this, are worn out, & destroyed.
My occupation is that of a laborer; but from combined ill health, having never been well since I was poisoned in the French prison ship, I am unable to labor but little - Recently, I have been so much afflicted with cramp in my feet, that it is with difficulty that I can walk. My wife Polly, aged 58, has been almost wholly unable to work, for the last six months - & has been under the doctor's care. My son Walter, aged 19, lives with me - he has a break in his side, which disables him very considerably for labor. Isaac Bump.

Sir
In England you have additional documents (which have been mislaid) in the case of Isaac Bump, shewing that all his land, except one acre, has been set off on execution; - and also evidence of the disposition of the remainder of his personal property, not contained in the testimony handed in by me last December. The origin of the debits in favor of Cyrus Bump, J. D. Butler, & Steyer Penfield, are, I trust, satisfactorily proved by their respective affidavits - and the disposition of the sheep by the affidavits of Remembrance Hitchcock.

Sir
In answer to yours of the 17. inst. respecting the claim of Isaac Bump, it appears by the Sheriff's deed, that altho' the quantity of land is not stated, yet it is described as being  the whole lot occupied by Bump, except \frac{1}{4} acre reserved for a burying place - 2 acres which had been deeded to Sam l Cooley - 1\frac{1}{4} acres on which the house & barn stands (belonging to the son) - and 1\frac{1}{2} acres to James D. Butler. The pieces excepted being about 5\frac{1}{2} acres. I believe the description includes the quantity mentioned in his former schedule. It appears to be of little consequence however, as the whole appraisal of his property on the former schedule was but $259. and the land set off to Cyrus Bump & J. D. Butler amounts to about $138. and a considerable portion

of the appraisal on his first schedule was for personal property, which is accounted for; so that it is impossible he should have any thing of consequence left.
As to the small prices excepted, they being of such trifling value, I did not think you would consider them of sufficient importance, (as I remarked to you before,) to require Bump to incur the expense of procuring copies of the conveyances; and I so advised him. I should be sorry to find myself mistaken in this particular.
I am Sir, respectfully Your obedt Servt P. Bump
