Grafton County ss -
On this eighteenth day of March Anno Domini 1829 personally appeared before the subscriber a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for said State of New Hampshire being a Court of record for said State so constituted and made by the laws of said State which created said Court Jonathan Clark, resident in said County who by reason of bodily infirmity and disability, is unable to appear in open Court, and is aged over seventy seven years and who being first 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 10th March 1810 and the 1st of May 1820 that he the said Jonathan Clark enlisted for the term of one year on the last day, as he believes of January Anno Domini 1776 in the State of New Hampshire in the company commanded by Capt. George Wessell in the regiment commanded by Colonel Timothy Bedel in the line of the State of New Hampshire in the Continental establishment that he continued to serve in said corps until the eighth day of November Anno Domini 1776 when he was discharged from the service at Mount Independence in the State of Vermont that his name has been placed on the pension list and dropped 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 10th day of March 1810 and that I have not since that time by gift, sale or in any manner disposed of any 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 10th day of March 1810 and that I have not nor has any person for me in trust any property or securities, contracts or debts due to me nor have I any in some other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed and by me subscribed. viz. My whole

earthly goods consist of my necessary apparel for my person. My occupation during my ability and labor was that of a husbandman. I am no longer able to pursue it. I have no family - my wife is dead - she died on the 11th day of December last. I reside with my son. That since the exhibition of my first schedule the following changes have been made in my property. The articles in the schedule of my personal property sent to the war department, were conveyed by me to Michael Black for the sum of $195.11 in part payment of a debt due from me to him and liquidated by arbitrators mutually chosen by us for that purpose on the 4th day of December now last past. The real estate of which I was owner was conveyed by deed of mortgage dated on the fifteenth day of November Anno Domini 1828 to David Fellows and Jonathan Fellows to secure to them the sum of $246.60 in which I was at the date of said deed & am now justly indebted to them & my right to redeem said real estate from said incumbrance I conveyed to said Michael Black by my deed dated on the 4th day of December Anno Domini 1828. I further declare that I am unable to attend personally in Court by reason of my bodily disability and infirmity. I further declare that my conveyance of said real estate to said Michael was in additional part payment of my debt to him liquidated by said arbitrators & that I gave him for the balance remaining due over what I paid him as aforesaid amounting to three hundred and sixty nine dollars & twenty cents my promissory note which he now holds.

I, Sarah Piper of Romney in the county of Grafton & State of Massachusetts of lawful age do hereby say that it was the understanding that my Father Jonathan Clerk of said Romney who is mentioned by the name of Jonathan Clerk, 2nd in his former pension certificate from the war department, should pay his son Michael Clerk a fair compensation for what time he the said Michael should work for him provided the said Jonathan did not conclude to let him leave his farm and accordingly Michael worked for said Jonathan for a number of years, I do not now recollect the exact number of years, but it was until said Michael became wholly unfit to labor - Since that time said Jonathan Clerk mortgaged his farm to some party unknown and unable to make any other pay - After Michael became in want of his pay in order to support himself and exerted it on so much of the documents he could obtain - I do not know that there was any written contract of existing between them said Michael & said Jonathan but there was a verbal contract to that effect - I have lived in the family of Jonathan Clerk during the greater part of the time that Michael worked for said Jonathan and I was well acquainted with the affairs of said Jonathan Clerk and know that he did not possess much personal property such as consisted of farming utensils & household goods were also for the most part very poor.

By me Wendell Asgill Jus. Peace

I Michael Clark of lawful age depose & say that I that have resided with my father Jonathan Clark of Lunenburg who is called Jonathan Clark 2 in the pension certificate of Sept 21. 1819 - generally for fifty years past, that he became indebted to Oliver Blood in the sum for which Isaiah Lundy & David Fellowes judgment against said Jonathan Clark myself which judgment is mentioned by said Lundy in his dep- osition accompanying this - I was security only for said Jonathan & not interested in said judgment in the debt. It was bounded on, except as security the goods mentioned by said Lundy as sold by said Wild & one at both of us were sold to said Jonathan alone. David Fellowes paid the judgment of said Lundy for my father & said Jon- athan was also indebted to Wild & Co merchants in Lun- enburg for goods sold him by that firm in the sum of Seventeen dollars & thirty five cents which sum was paid by said Lundy on part of said firm by David Fellowes or Jonathan Fellowes his son. This debt was incurred by said Jonathan Clark previous to said Fellowes going to P. Clark & live with him - I was not interested in it. It was paid for the benefit of said Jonathan Clark alone. I further say that said Fellowes paid sundry other claims which were against my father some nominal ly in none of which was I ever interested except as security & the whole claims they paid were due originally from my father alone & to him alone went the con- sideration of the debt, which was all paid by him or for him & not for me. I further say that from the time of age I worked for my father until about the month of July 1826 when by an accident I was depri- ved of the use of one of my arms & became unable to labor that in December last my father & I became

our mutual claims against each other & refer- as mutually chosen before who awarded that the dis- pay was in addition to the rights and equity between his farm mortgaged to the Bellowses for debts due from my father & paid by them - the sum of Three hundred & sixty nine dollars & twenty cents
This was in addition to said rights and equity to a bill of goods which he had on hand subject to the referees decided. I should receive of my father at the sum of One hundred & ninety five dollars forty seven cents. I did receive them & allowed that sum. I took my father's note for said balance of $369.20 on interest - My claim against him was for labor - which was actually done by me for him. I have never in any way rec my pay for it except in part, for which part, allowance was made him by said Referees & the sum they have awarded me as above is justly my  and my claim was justly in my behalf more than they allowed me in their said a- ward. Said Referees estimated said farm at the sum of Seven hundred & eighty three dollars - which is all that it is worth. It is encumbered by the claim of said Bellowses of two hundred forty seven dollars & thirty four cents - which deducted leaves four hundred thirty five dollars forty six cents which I gave my father for the rights he had in the farm. I took his deed the 4 th day of December 1828 - My father is a large old gentleman over seventy seven years of age - & very infirm & has no property - & the note I took against him I consider of no value & hardly thought it worth taking at the time it was given

February 23 d A.D. 1829 I the undersigned Michael Clark a residing person in the town of Grafton do hereby certify that the within copy of the account of Michael Clark is a true copy of the original now in my hands Before me Will D. Asgood Justice of the Peace

The undersigned Daniel Darling John Goe & Wendell Osgood do hereby certify that we were informed Referees to decide upon the maternal claims of Jonathan (late of Michael Black his son of Rumney). That we attended to the duties of said Referees on the 4th of De- cember A.D. 1878 & after considering all their claims & proofs awarded to said Mi- chael the sum of $369.20, which was paid by Jonathan's estate, - the sum of $435.66, which was paid by said estate Jonathan's interests in the farm he owned & which was under mortgage, the sum of $195.14, which was paid in articles of property, which were appraised - said Michael claim, was for labor done up to the time he became disabled by loss of the use of his arm. We allowed him for said labor all we thought just reasonable & no more, - the parties acqui- esced in our decision & settled accordingly. The above figures were what we found due to said Michael amounting to $900.20 - as we saw it, - we would add however that in examin- ing our proceedings we have discovered a mistake in the captions of one hundred dol- lars - the note should have been for $469.20 instead of $369.20 - But the figure of the note is so from that the mistake will not probably be rectified by Michael - We ought to have given Michael a balance of $1000.20 -

I John Hall of Rumney in the county of Grafton and State of New Hampshire of lawful age depose say that I am acquainted with the farm on which Jonathan Clark of said Rumney - who I understand is known by the name of Jonathan Clark 2nd at the pension office of the United States - now lives. I have known the farm for many years I do not think said farm could be sold for more than four hundred & fifty Dollars ready money, or on a credit of sixty or ninety days. It is a rough broken farm, the buildings are rather old & in an unfinished state & has manure, & often does receive manure & fodder. I understand that the said Jonathan Clark has mortgaged the farm to Daniel Tilton & Jonathan Tilton for about two hundred and fifty Dollars, and that he has since given his son Michael the exclusive right to redeem the farm but Michael is poor besides being lame and unfit for labor and I have no idea that he can ever redeem the farm - there is not in my view the most distant prospect of his ever redeeming it - I have frequently bought & sold out farms within thirty five years past, I have very frequently been called on to appraise real estate in Rumney, I have lived in Rumney and in the vicinity of said Jonathan Clark & have had an opportunity of observing the worth of the Clark farm I do not know the exact value of his person al property but know his farming tools & house hold goods to be old & not worth much

It being all the farm that I ever knew him to own or live on which said farm I understand is mortgaged to David Fellows & Jonathan Fellows for between two & three hundred Dollars and that said farm will not in my opin- -ion command more than five hundred Dollars nor do I consider the farm to be worth more money than five hundred Dollars the recent products having greatly injured the same. It will always remain liable to great injury by frost. It is a rough uneven broken piece of land I do not exactly know the worth of his person- al property but it is not considerable

I ever understood that the accounts were Jonathan Clark to pay. I further say that in the month of July A.D. 1827 (as I think) David Fellows & Jonathan Fellows of Brimley paid me the sum of one hundred and thirty dollars and some that time they have paid the remainder of my debt against Clark & thereby extinguished my claim against him.

Nobrow Woodward Clerk

Plymouth N.H. Sept 9. '29
Hon. Secy of War.
Sir I understand from the friends of Jon Clark applicant for a pension, that he is required, by the War Dept. to furnish proof, that a contract was made between him & his son Michael, in pursuance of which, Michael performed the labor he did for his father, & the father made the payment spoken of in depositions furnished heretofore. -
The accompanying affidavits furnish that proof. A written or verbal, express contract, to pay a quantum meruit for the labor, provided the son did not receive the father & have the farm, - or an implied contract, arising from performance of the labor, without any express stipulation, would bind the father to pay & in title him, if paying made him destitute, to the relief of the Pension Statutes. If the contract had been that the son should sustain the father through life, & have the farm for so doing, then, failing to do this, I suppose the son would have no legal claim for wages, for labor done in performance of a special contract, a complete performance of which he failed to effect. - But this is not that case - There was here an express contract, which the parties would have put in writing, had they not been so confidential on account of their relationship. -
I have the honor to be Sir Respectfully Yours N.P. Rogers
