Political declaration of Thomas Gould

STATE OF VERMONT, } County of Rutland, ss. }
ON this 2 nd day of February 1825 personally appeared before the Supreme court for said county of Rutland in open court, (said court being a court of record, agreeably to the laws of this state, having the power of fine and imprisonment, &c.) Thomas Gorcee resident in said county, aged 62 years, who being duly sworn, according to law, doth, on his oath, make the following declaration, in addition to the one he made on the 7 th Feb. 1824, in order to obtain the provision made by the acts of Congress of the 18th March, 1818, and the 1st May, 1820, that he, the said Thomas enlisted for the term of three years on the day of June in the year 1799 in the state of Connecticut in the company commanded by Captain Thomas in the regiment commanded by Colonel Lamb (artillery) in the line of the state of Connecticut on the continental establishment; that he continued to serve in the said corps until June 1782 when he was discharged from the said service, in West Point in the state of New York that his name has been placed on the pension list and front therefrom an account of his service
That he hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension, except the present: - that his name is not on the roll of any state - and that the following are the reasons for not making earlier application for a pension, to wit: I lived with my son Thomas, who said he was willing to support me, and I supposed, he was able - He furnished me with all I wanted to make me comfortable as my wants were but few, and I did not wish for any thing more than a comfortable support. Another reason is, I understood it was attended with considerable trouble and uncertainty - and I lived about 20 miles from Court, and my lameness and health made it inconvenient to travel - and my son said he did not wish me to degrade myself by proving to my poverty, for he was willing to support me without a pension - but he having died without making any provision for me, as stated in my declaration to which this is an addition, I am obliged to ask for a pension.

...ing to my poverty, for he was willing to support me without a pension - but he having died without making any provision for me, as stated in my declaration to which this is an addition, I am obliged to ask for a pension.
And in pursuance of the act of the 1st May, 1820, 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 day 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.
1 cow 1 axe 1 shovel 1 sythe 1 kettle
The other articles mentioned in my declaration of the 7 Feb. 1824 I have been obliged to sell for my support. My occupation has been that of a laborer, but having a stiff ankle & the asthma, am unable to labor but little. I have no family residing with me my wife having died about 3 years ago. That since the 18 of March 1818 the following changes have been made in my property, to wit. in the spring of 1819 my cow died, and my son gave me another. My son gave me a pig every fall which I fattened for my own use. My son also furnished me with provisions and clothing some money from time to time for my support which I consumed. but it is impossible for me to make a list of them. After my wife died I went to live with my son, until his death. No changes have been made in my property except such as a barrel related. Thomas Gould.
