Daniel Heath.
That since the exhibition of my first schedule the following changes have been made in my property viz in October 22 nd A D 1822 I sold my farm to Dorset Heath for the sum of one thousand dollars & all my other personal property except the above lot. The consideration was that the said Dorset Heath agreed to pay all my debts which amounted to more than I was worth which said Dorset has faithfully performed to about the amount of Eleven hundred dollars and I have had to make use of some of my property for my support. The above arrangement was made last October without any expectation of ever applying for a pension or expectation of getting one before the late law was made making further provision for pensioners. My occupation is farmer but unable to do much work having the complaint of palpitation of the heart & other infirmities incident to Old age, & perfectly unable to support myself by manual labour. My wife aged 54 years her health is tolerable but her age & prevent her from earning much beside the ordinary care of the family. I have no children at home to take care of her live with my son Dorset Heath who is not under the least obligation to support me & live wholly upon his charity I do stand in need of my country's bounty
