Isaac Clement, Affidavit
on searching said bells and ascertaining that I could

I Isaac Clement of Holland in the county of Orleans and State of Vermont depose and say that the reasons why I did not make an earlier application for a pension as a Revolutionary soldier are. That on hearing of the passing of the act of Congress in March 1818 I was sick, infirm very poor and almost a cripple, that as soon as my health would admit and I could obtain means to make search for proof of my service I made a journey to different parts of this State for the purpose of obtaining proof of my service in the Revolutionary war but my attempt was unsuccessful, I ascertained that the captain & Lieutenant under whom I served were both dead, and with my extreme poverty & ill health I was unable to make such search & inquiry after evidence that I might have done had my health & means been such that I could have gone abroad after evidence. After having made several unsuccessful attempts to procure the necessary evidence I for a while gave up the pursuit as hopeless. At last a man by the name Samuel Wells who was my ensign in the service removed from Enfield in the State of New Hampshire to Barton in this State. Previous to the removal of said Wells into this State I had no knowledge of the place of his residence or even that he was alive on finding said Wells and ascertaining that I could

prove my service in the Revolutionary war by him I immediately made application for my pension I further say that the said Wells is the only man whom I have found during several years search and inquiry by whom I could make the necessary proof to establish my right to a pension under the laws of the United States

I had the honor of addressing you on the 3 rd instant, and now beg leave to trouble you again for information on the following point. A person has applied to me to ascertain whether there is not a balance of pension still due to Sergeant Isaac Clements, who served in the American Army during the Revolutionary war, or if it has been paid to any other person in his name.

P.S. The heirs of Clements gave the papers, some months ago, to a party in the State for the purpose of obtaining the money for them and not having heard from him since, they are fearful lest he has drawn the money and appropriated it to his own use.
