of Congress entitled an Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval services of the United States in the Revolutionary War, passed on the 18 th 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 herunto annexed and by me subscribed - And I do further swear that my occupation in life is a Taylor & that in consequence of my advanced age in life & my bodily infirmities I am entirely unable to pursue it.
