Samuel Hackney
My Occupation is that of an ordinary Country Shoemaker I am now becoming old My Wife has for many years lived apart from me and according to the best of my information resides in the State of Virginia My children are all about twenty one years of age and reside in the same State with my wife I am perhaps as healthy as is usual for men of my age

And I would not say that I could not possibly subsist without the aid of Government. I have no blood relations near me to minister unto me in case of disease and to supply my wants in case of need except the disinterested friendship of strangers they are Kentuckians and will not suffer the Old soldier of the Revolution who spent a great portion of the prime of life in the service of his country to pine in disease and want: but this the generosity of individuals: not the gratitude and munificence of the Government.
Sworn to and declared On the 17 th day of November 1923 before the Court J. Benjamin Letcher Clerk of the said Court do hereby certify that it appears to the satisfaction of the said Court that the said Samuel Hackney did serve in the revolutionary war as stated in the preceding declaration against the Common enemy for the term of three years under one engagement in the Continental establishment I do further certify that the forgoing oath and the schedule thereto annexed are truly copied from the records of the said Court and I do further certify that it is the opinion of the said Court that the total amount in value of the property exhibited in the aforesaid schedule is worth ————— Nothing —————
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said Court on this day of November 18 th
