And I had then no personal property, nor have I had any since (except what is contained in the above Schedule) other than what has been disposed of for the necessary support of myself and family.

And I do also swear—that my occupation is that of Farmer —And that he has a wife Sarah aged 59 years in poor health—also a boy aged 11 years which lives with me named Isabel Watson —
