And I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18th day of March, 1818; and that I have not, since that time, by gift, sale, or in any manner, disposed 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 and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war," passed on the 18th of March, 1818; and that I have not, nor has any person in trust for me, any property or securities, contracts, or debts, due to me; nor have I any income other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed, and by me subscribed. No property whatever, is entirely supported by charity. Has no child or children that live with him — nor any that are able to assist him to a support. He is by occupation a common laborer, but so infirm as to be entirely unable to earn any thing of consequence. Has no wife living — and needs the assistance of his country for support.
