And I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the eighteenth day of March in year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred & eighteen & that I have not since that time by gift, sale or in any manner dispose of my property or any part thereof with intent thereby so to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an act of Congress entitled, "an act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land & naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war" passed on the 18 th day of March 1818. & that I have not nor has any person in trust for me any property or securities contracts or debts due to me, otherwise than is set forth in the schedule hereto annexed, & that I have no income other than what is contained in the said schedule by me subscribed.

Schedule. Real estate - none.
1 Cow & Calf - 1 Sow & 3 pigs - 1 plough - 1 Chain - 1 Hoe - 1 Sythe 1 Sickle - 1 Old spinning wheel - 4 Chairs - 1 old low chest - Some other small articles of furniture, but too insignificant to be entered in this.
I am a farmer by occupation, but my ability is too weak to pursue it with any success as the infirmities of old age have come upon me. My family consists of, only my wife & myself. My wife Elizabeth is fifty nine years old, her health is very poor & her expenses for Opium & other medicines is very considerable every year & it is very difficult for me to obtain them in my present situation & I fear shall be quite unable unless assisted by my Country.
