In an affidavit made by claim- ant in Sept 1824, he states as a cause for his not before applying to have his pension continued to him, that at the passage of the Act of May 1820, he was the owner of about 30 acres of poor land, mostly un- productive valued at $250 that he was then indebted to about that amount - that he was in hope he should be able with health to procure a support without asking for the assistance of his country, that his creditors pressed him for payment, and finally sued him - that he had very little personal property and was obliged to sell his land - offered it for sale, and at length sold it in Nov 1823 to Mr Howe, who

made an agreement to give $250 for it, payable to
the creditors of claimant, they con- senting to wait some time for payment, upon his giving se- curity. States that the land was given as security to S. & J. Hutchins, his greatest creditors, to whom he owed $170, - that he owes $280, of which, Mr Howe obligated himself to pay $250. claimant states that he still owes the balance. The affidavits of Sam d & James Hutchins are exhibited, corroborating the above particulars, affidavits of other creditors also exhibited.
Claimant aged 70, a farmer, infirm almost blind and very deaf. Wife aged 72, feeble, and at times, deranged.
Although this is a case in which a transf r was made of real property from the claimant to his son, in law it has the ap- pearance of being an honest transaction. I still do not feel satisfied that the claim ought to be allowed.

State of New Hampshire
Grafton ss.
At the Court of Sessions holden at Plymouth within & for the County of Grafton on the second Tuesday of September in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred & twenty four.
Present The Hon ble { Abel Merrill Chief Justice Samuel Nutkins } Justices Samuel Burns }
Be it remembered that on this fifteenth day of September anno Domini 1824 personally appeared in open Court being a Court of Record in & for said county of Grafton styled the Court of Sessions, by law of said State established as such. Peter Howe of Lunenburg in said county aged seventy years & in open Court before the Justices thereof made solemn oath to the following declaration in order to be replaced on the pension list according to the acts of Congress. to wit ,
I Peter Howe depose & say that at the time of the passage of the Act of Congress of May 1820 respecting revolutionary pensioners I was the owner of about thirty acres of poor land mostly unproductive of about two hundred & fifty dollars. I was then indebted to about the same amount but I hoped I might be able with health to get along without asking for the assistance of my country again. But my creditors pressed me & sued me, and I had very little personal property & was driven to the necessity to sell this land. I offered it for sale & at last in November 1823 William Howe agreed to give 250 dollars for it & pay it over where I was owing the creditors agreed

to wait on getting his security this pledging the land to S. & J. Hutchinson my greatest creditors to whom I owe nearly 170 dollars to secure them for the debt. I then owed 200 dollars to my Doctors having had a good deal of sickness & my wife being still partially deranged to traders & mechanics for necessaries. William Howe agreed to pay the 250 dollars for the land & the rest I still owe. He took a deed & then pledged it to S. & J. Hutchinson as security for the debt due to them & I then applied to have a pension again. as I saw no other way to have a living as I am really poor inform, very deaf & my wife quite sickly. I owed for most of the things in my schedule when I made it last fall. I have never to my knowledge since March 18, 1818 sold any property except said land & a few baskets I have been able to make at different times & I certainly should not have sold the land if I could have kept it. as it was a home for me. but my debts have been increasing & some of them long due & I have no other means of paying them or avoiding a prison. These are the reasons why I have not applied before the act of May 1 st 1823. & why I now apply & a faithful account of my present condition & of my sales since March 18, 1818 & I must after serving my country several years of fighting in several battles be dependent on private charity, if my pension is refused.
